Elections
Considerable excitement was Gre

Mr.. Chcshire's Condition.
NDally MAIL, MOnday.)
Information from the Anderson
County Hospital at o'clock this af-
ternoon was to the effect that the
condition Of V. B. Cheshire was not
as encouraging as it had been. He
was not as well this morning as he
was Sunday, and there had been still
more unfavorable symptoms Monday
afternoon, although his condition
may not be said to be critical.
The wounds in the abdomen appear
to be giving him but little trouble,
but the one In the shoulder Is caus-
ing some worry. This bullet has not
been founu, and the physicians have
been awaiting symptoms to locate it,
They fear that 1t found it's way to
the lungs. Mr.. Cheshire has consid-
cradle temperature and there Is some
fear that pneumonia will set in.
The rumors OF a hemorrhage Sun
day night are stated to have been
without foundation, and it has not
yet been determined that pneumonia
has set in. Mr.. Cheshire Is receiving
every care and attention from the
hospital staff.
