smoke Of battle is rolling away and many
are the dead and wounded left on The

n. Fooks went down under the sharp-
shooters in this hundred, and Levy Court
man Walter Anderson Of Little Creek
fell in the general charge. William ]
Windsor is in line for promotion to Mr..
Andersons place.
In Georgetown hundred there were 1913
tickets taken at the window. The clear
Democratic strength is about $50. and
there were many who refused TO vote.
Both sides charge the other with voting
Republicans and the result proves the
charge against one or both. The fight
was chiefly for the Legislative branch.

TO contend about the use Of his name
He heard on Saturday morning that he
was put up TO be knocked out but the
charge was denied. Whether he was put
up for that purpose or not, he was
knocked out, and 1t was evidently done
by the anti-convention men Of
the salisbury faction who do not
love the Journal because Of its firm stand
for reform Each side charges the other
with buying votes, and undoubtedly both
charges can be sustained The Salisbury
men had the heaviest purse, however
and got the most of the purchasables
One man claimed to have voted fifteen
aud it is said received 800 for his work.
The price ranged from So so to $25 for
three. The secret voting was against the
Saulsburys or they would have had a
majority Of twenty-five Many Of their
men went back on them.
