The Woodliff and Jeffrey buildings
are both progressing rapidly under the
efforts of the artisan. The latter is
almost done while the Woodliff building
will be completed some weeks later

entire building under their supervision.
Several fine Office buildings are on the
second floor. Both these buildings will
be thoroughly modern when completed,

This county barely saved dropping in
to the class of counties having less
than 800 voters, through the apathy
of about $50 voters who did not vote
last Tuesday. The highest vote was
for United States senator, totaling SIT.
Had the county failed to show more
than 800 voters, the various county
foes would have been raised approx.
mately sixty per cent. For instance 9
deed that now costs 81. 55 for recording
would have been charged for at the
rate of 50. so, had the fee system for
the counties containing less than SOC
voters been invoked.
Recently, in mentioning the sale OF
the Collins Hardware lot, we misstateo
the narration. The article in question
should have given A. R. Jeffrey and
J. w. Vannoy as the purchasers of the
lot, otherwise the article is correct.
These gentlemen have purchased this
parcel of property, public spiritedly
to hold for the town, in order that at
the proper time, the same can be turned
over at actual cost and First street,
which is now merely an alley, be thus
converted into real thoroughfare, as
it should be.
This papers attention has been
called to the possibility of fraud per-
petrations in the open backed booths
used throughout this county at the last
election. And upon circumspection, the
logic of the charge is at once apparent.
Five men might occupy the booth at
one time, and with the front blinds
down, one man might mark all five
ballots by system of interchanging.
j We hope that future booths will be solid
compartments, so this possibility VIII
no longer exist.
