GoldsDoro, N. c., November o
The election board will meet in the
court house tomorrow to canvass the
election returns and until then the af-
fetal vote will not be given out. The en-
4f-o- - re 49,
precinct has been heard from and re-
turns fully verify the statement sent out
by this correspondent last night that
the democratic tick would AVE a ma
o rity ranging from 1,S00 to 1000. 1t is
claimed today by those who are in a
position to know and who are conserva-
tive in their that the entire
democratic ticket will have a majority
OF not less than 200 and will probably
reach 100.
The Independent movement in the
county was completely showed under.
Jos. H. Grant, a former democratic
sheriff of the county who held the office
for six years. ran as an Independent
candidate for sheriff against the reSu-
lar nominee of the party and was over
whelmingly defeated. He will not get
500 votes in the county, while his OppO-
nent Mr.. E. A. Stems, will have a ma
jority OF two thousand and over.
Grant ran about even with the republi-
can county ticket, all of whom were
badly defeated.
Summing Up the Result.
Especial to The Messenger.)
Fayetteville, n. c., November s.
Returns from all parts of the county
are not yet in, but enough is definitely
known to warrant The Messenger cor
respondent in giving the straight dem
ocratic majority at between 500 and 600,
the state ticket running little behind
the county. Patterson will carry the
county by betweeH $50 and 800. AS for
prohibition, folks AVE quit figuring;
it is out of sight-possibly 1000 or more.
The Cumberland democrats have done
good work; Mr.. H. L. Cook, chairman
of the executive committee, has labored
like Hercules, organizing his forces with
great ability, and has earned the graft !
tude of his party. ,
