High Price Paid For Votes In the
Charleston County Election.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 80.-The result Of
the contest for sheriff between Captain
J. Elmore Martin and Captain Jervey
was not positively known until returns
were received from the last of the coun-
try boxes. Out of an estimated vote OF
more than 1000 Captain Martin leads
by the small majority of 80. There is
one box which will give Martin 100 ma
jority, but this is held up because the
poll box was stolen.
The election was one of the hardest
fought in the history of the county. II
is estimated that more than $4,000 was
spent for votes and it is openly said by
scores of people that votes were bought
outright for anything from ST. to $15.
It is said that great many votes were
bought at this last named price.
