IA the voting in this, county at the last
Election was at Hurricane Switch. Three
men were prevented from voting by the
Judges, one because he'had been in the
penitentiary, and the others because
they had no tax receipt, the judges be-
ing under the erroneous impression that
receipts were required. 1t is said that
two of, them would have voted for Nc
Lemore, and the other for Judge
HUGHES. rSs3li I'D y 5iuH,7 80 -

Iof dollars are sent out Of our county
avery year for various seeds, nearly all
of which could be grown by US. Why
do not our farmers take Dett6r pains anO
save their clover seed, millet seed, and
other seeds? If they ever expect to
grow rich and independent as people,
hey must pay. attention to these little

8 Two negroes got into a fight near the
'Columbia Mills, Saturday last, and one
of them was cut in. the left side to the
hollow. The wounded negro dealt sew
eral heavy blows on his adversary after
he was cut, and then walked to a physi.
clans shop, and had the wound sewed
up. Ike Stephenson, who did the stab
bling, lives on Vo' ney Cyrus place, and
is about 60 years old. He was arrested
and brought before John G. Horsley, j.
p, last Tuesday, who after hearing the
evidence, ordered that the prisoner be
discharged, as the stabbing was done in
self-detence. The proof developed the
TACT that the cause OF the fight was about
a woman.
Last Monday, ESQ Turner Hunt, Geo.
C. Taylor, and Mr.. Dick Perry, started
from Culleoka in wagon, for Column
bia. At Hurricane Switch, they learn
ed that McI.emore was elected, and pro-
curing stencil plate they printed in large
letters, !" Judge w. S. McLemore," and
put it aloit for the inspection of those
they passed. They created quite sem
sation among the folks as they came
along.
