improvements in the Southern.
The Southern railway company is
equipping it's Marion and Kingville
division with heavier rolling stock,
engines and cars, in it's passenger SER
vice. The passenger engines that are
being replaced are too light for the
heavy cars now being used and within
a few weeks all Of the light locomo-
tives will have been taken off the divi-
sion. The roadbed all along the divi-
sion Is being rapidly improved, new
ties are being placed as fast as posi-
BILE and scores of cars of cinders are
being used for surfacing.
The Recount Of the Votes.
The county Democratic executive
committee was engaged all day Friday
in re-counting the votes of the vari-
Gus legislative candidates. Quite a
number Of irregularities were found
in some instances tickets were found
containing the names Of five legisla-
tive candidates, some contained seven
unScratched names, others three and
still others two. According to the re-
count, DR.. Saye received 1913 votes,
and Mr.. Z. w. Pursley, 1,499. This, Of
course, eliminates Mr. Pursley from
entering the second race. Mr.. Pursley
received 1916 votes, according to the
official tabulation Of last Thursday and
DR.. Saye received 1878. BY the re-
count Mr.. Pursley lost II votes and
DR.. Saye only five.
SociabIe at Sutton's Spring.
There was an unusually large crowd
at Sutton's Spring school house last
Friday night on account of the ice
cream supper given for the benefit Of
the school. The crowd was principal
ly a neighborhood one, although there
were several people present from Sha-
ron, Yorkville and other places Every
body was in a good humor and the
evening passed off quite pleasantly,
practically all being united in saying
that the crowd was about the largest
and the cream and cake as fine as any
they had ever tasted on such an occa-
sion. Quite a good sum was realized,
which will go to swell the school fund.
