ALI questions. OF fact were decided
In favor OF the new county, the one
point upon which the election was
declared null and void being the
disfranchisment Of voters within the
new county lines whose precincts
were outside, thereby depriving them
Of exercising their right OF suffrage.
Chairman Bowman stated that the
board was Of the opinion that the
Act passed by the Legislature gov
erning the formation of lev counties
was Unconstitutional in that 1t
made no provision for those electors
who were separated from their pre-
cincts to cast their ballots on ques-
tions In which they were directly in.
terested, as guaranteed under the
law.
1t will be noticed that the Board
OF Commissioners sustains the con.
. GGIlLlOn Oh Liz vi dnboOui u illCd olO
Democrat that no white Democrat
whether for or against the now
county, should be deprived OF his
right to vote on q matter that &c
vitality concerns him. The Times and
Democrat has made q gallant fight
for these disfranchised Democrats
mentioned by the Board OF Commits
sionersi, and 1t naturally feels elated
on being sustained by the intelligent
gentlemen composing 1t.
An appeal Will be taken to the
State Board Of Elections by the pro.
moters Of the new county. However
that Board may decide the matter,
1t Will be taken to the State Supreme
Court and possibly to the United
States Supreme Court, as both sides
are determined to have the matter
settled once for oil whether o mar
can be deprived OF his right to vote
by an unconstitutional law passed by
the Legislature.
Wnen he learned OF the decision
Of the Board Of Com ~issioners Mr..
WEIGH, attorney for the new county
promoters, stated that the only sur
prise was that the decision was un-
animous, the new county promoters
expecting to- have at least one vote.
He also said that a different story
would be heard after the State
board reviewed the case.
Col. d. O. Herbert and w. G. Wolfe
ESD, who hes fought manfully for
the disfranchised Democrats are
gratifed that the county board has
sustained their contention, which
was principally based on the poiat

Many sleepless Nights Owing to d
Persistent Cough Relief
Found az last.

For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most per-

Invariably extended over a. period of
several weeks and caused her many
sleepless nights writes WnhL Hay
ner, editor of the Bdriey. Colo, Bull

each year, with no beneficial results.
In November last the cough again put
in an appearance and my wife, act-

purchased a bottle Of Chamberlain

deed marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not manifested itself since" This
remedy is for sale by all dealers.
