The Herald and News d, slres to
thank Its friends for sending in 50
promptly the returns Of tho election On
| Tueoday froh the entire county. By a
littlp after IL o'clock Oh Tuesday night
| We had In our office full returns from
every precinct In the county, and when
| we issued our extra the Office was
packed and crowded. We did not 90
to press until after 2 o'clock inasmucn
MS we desired to give tho detailed vote
for State officers, us we'll It's for county
utlicers.
We never saw more eager crowd
ior the vote than we had on Tuesday
night and the crowd was us large when
we went to press after 2 o'clock as
IL was during any portion Of the eve
nlng showing that they wanted full
ana complete returns, and would bq
satisfied with nothing less. They left
good deal Of 'pi" around here and
there, and got some mud on some
printed mnttrr, but it was Il good nu-
tured crowd aud we were glad they
came and will be glud ~ sec them again
and at any time.
The first extras that we printed had
some erro's and most Of the totals were
wrong but that could not well be helped,
Tor 1T was almost impossible to make
additions with the noise and confusion
in the Office
These first ones had IN error in the
vote OF Mr.. kiblcr at P0muria. 1t
should have been seven instead of one.
The mistake was made in private tclc-
gram to this Office.
The eA, "as printed on Wednesday
morning had the corrections made and
the totals correct, or practically SO.
Without the services Of our good
friend, MIR. Jno. Crooks, we would not
have had the vote ut Walton and
Glymphville, but while it wus late be-
fore he came in, we felt sure he would
be on band, for he had promised us and
he>has been bringing returns to The
Herald and News for several years and
never fuils. This time he came and we
were enabled to give complete returns
IN the first extra we issued. Then we
had kilograms, from the Congressional
race in this district and from the State
and were enabled to give an idea as to
the race for Governor
10 all of our friends who aided us in
this work ne desire to return our
thanks and express our appreciation.
BnI especially arc we under obi cations
to DR. j. II. Mcintosh and Mr.. G. Nj.
Graham, who gave valuable aid i'm
helping to tabulutc the vote and who
remained with us until we left the
Office about / o'clock, and to Su1erin-
tendent Voss for cOurtesies which en-
abled MS to have the large electric
light in front Of our Office; and to the
efficient and obliging operators, who
remained at their Instruments until Il
late hour, enabling us to get returns
from different points
And also to our efficient tvDos Mr..
w. n. Fulmcr and Mr. =. l.. Rikard.
who set mp the tables. Putting in the
figures at H0 precincts for 81 candidates
was no small job. If we had only tabu-
lated the county vote the job would
have been small one
we wired complete returns to the
daily papers in Columbia and Ncwbcrrv
was the only county in the State that
had comDlcte returns in the papers on
Wednesday morning.
We claim no special credit for it and
only desire to give expression to our
friends OF our appreciation of their
assistance, without it we could have
done nothing.
