Champ Mullins was shot by Hiram
Cox few days since. Both parties were
drinking. They got to joking each other
about the election and were calling rather
hard names, when Mullinp, in a good hui
mored way, patted Cox On the cheek and
said, 20 ID d-n you, come in and take II
drink" and turned TO 10 in the grocery,
and a. he stepped ia the door Cox shot
him in the back with a pistol supposed to
be 80 calibre. The ball took effect in the
back just above the hip bone and ranged
around towards the groin. The wound
was probed to the depth Of about inches,
but the ball could not be found. Mr..

Your correspondent had the pleasure
Of being present at the banquet given by
the f. K. c. Il. r. Club at Camp Shana-
han on last Saturday evening, August 4th,
1888. don't know that could say any
thing that would do justice to this supper,
only that II was a complete success. as eve
~ thing that is superintendent by the
Messrs. Shanahan Bros. is bound to be.
The toasts were ably and eloqently respond
ed to by the gentlemen to whom they we're
assigned. can not say who did the best,
as all did SO well that II would take clear.
er head than mine was at that time to dis
criminate. The absence Of "Cols." w.
p. Walton and Sam M. Burdett was
noted and regretted by all. "Col." Wal
ton sent a letter in his stead, which
was read by "Col." d. A. Sbanahan
and was received with applause. ]. b.
Fish was voted to take the place OF Col.
Burdett This meeting will long be re-
membered by all who we're present. All
that / could say would not do half justice
TO the banquet.
The election passed of very quietly
in this precinct. There were a few little
rows. but no fights, and was pretty much
the same all over the county. The repub-
licans bulldozed the voters in Crooked
Greek precinct. They had six or eight ne
groes armed with shotguns and army mus
kets standing around the polls to intimi-
date other negro voters. They marched
around making threats that they would kill
every negro who voted the democratic
ticket. Mr.. Taylor was at that precinct
and his friends asked him which they
should do run oil the negroes or give up
the election? He told them to keep quiet
and do no violence, as he would rather
lose the election than TO cause any one to
be hurt II is an evident fact that these
negroes had some white republicans to
back them, as il was Of no interest 10 them
one way or the other. They were railraod
negroes and some Of them had not been in
the State oyer six weeks, yet they were al
loved to vote, notwithstanding the con-
tractors offered to give the exact date Of
the arrival Of these negroes in the State.
More illegal votes were cast this election
than ever before in this county. do not
deny that illegal votes we're cast by both
parties. NJ. j. Cook, republican candidate
for Representative. was elected in Laurel
and Rockcastle counties by about 400 ma
jority. His majority in this county is
greater than for any other candidate on
the ticket. Col. Morrow's majority will
probably be rs in this county, with the
other candidates for State offices close up,
except the colored brother, who fell behind
some so to 100 votes. Thus it is seen that
the white republican does not stand up to
tbs colored man every time.
