TO. ELECTION.
The Situation ut Noon, az Heard
from the Several WaPdr.

The situation at noon to day is very
cheering for the Democracy, much
more so, indeed, than the most
sanguine had reason to expect. The
news from all directions is that much
interest is felt, and while all is quiet
and not a knock down or a quarrel has
occurred, yet the voters are in earne. I
and seem to mean business. The pros
pect favOrs the success of the entire
Democratic ticket.
First Ward-236 votes cast at noon
With prospects strongly in favor Of the
straight Democratic ticket. There is
less scratching and more enthusiasm
in that ward than in any other. The
ward will poll perhaps 1000 votes.
In the Second Ward l79 votes cast,
also strongly in favor Of the regular
Democracy. Some scratching in favor
Of Shea at Cullen and Winters ex-
pense.
In the Third ward 2l8 votes cast.
Much scattering and irregular voting
and Cullen seems to be in favor,
though the Democratic ticket as a
whole is considerably in the lead.
Some 800 votes may be expected here.
In the Fourth ward 148 votes had
been polled. Seems to be equally
divided between the High and Low
Tax Republicans, and the Democracy.
The low down Republicans have en-
ergetic workers at this poll. Nearly
a thousand votes is the wards
strength.
In the Fifth ward 235 votes had
been polled and the Low Tax
Republicans are ahead. This is
. large darby ward. The Democracy

Want a Bridge Fixed.


Residents along the line of Com,
merce street, johnson avenue and the
adjacent highways are complaining
about the condition Of the bridge
crossing the bayou near the Louisville
& Nashville railroad shops. 1t is i'm
possible for them to purchase their
garden truck without coming up town
or going to one Of the markets. Wag-
ons from the Raleigh road, which
usually pass over this bridge, are now
compelled to take some other route.
The people interested we're promised
that the bridge would be fixed as soon
as the food in the bayou abated. So
far, however, nothing has been done,
and the taxpayers in hat section are
anxious to see the repairs under way

StabbIng ARRAY.

A cutting scrape on Marshall ave.
new late yesterday evening, resulted
d%isastrOualy for one of the partici-
pants. Two negroes, Dave Harris and
Taze Cobb, got into a difficulty about
their respective squaws, and drawing
their knives, attempted to settle the
dispute in that manner. Taze was
most gexpert, and succeeded in
stabbing the other darby several times
in the side, and then fed. The police
were informed, but have so far failed
to arrest the fugitive. Harris wounds
were dressed by DR.. Purnell, who sent
him to the hospital. His condition is
dangerous, though the wounds are not
necessarily fatal.

Machinery for the South.
Southern Lumberman.

Southern Lumberman.
Shipments of machinery from East
ern manufactures to the South are
becoming so great as to attract atten-
ton in all quarters. During the
month Of June twenty two car loads
we're shipped from Boston alone over
the line of the Richmond & Danville
railroad. This machinery was dis
tributed as follows: Fourteen car loads
to Pelzer, S g.; six to Concord, N.
G.; one to Hickory, N. c., and one to
Clifton, N. G. Not long ago thirty
car loads of machinery of various
kinds-prinoipally for wood work
ing-were at the depot Of
the Louisville y Nashville
railroad, at Louisville, on one day,
all TO be distributed in the South,
along the line of the road. Our tim.
Der, except the finer kinds, cannot be
carried to Eastern mills to be manu-
featured into lumber, but our cotton
has been and still goes to the East to
be spun and woven. But now the
mills are being brought to the cotton
and much of it is being manufactured
neal the fields where it grows, to the
great benefit and profit Of our people.
Verify, the new South is rising in her
strength like a giant refreshed-not
with new wine, but by long sleep-and
girding on her armor for the battle she
is to fight for equality in the world Of
commerce and manufactures.
