COUNTY ELECTION BOARD
DECLARES BROWN NOMINATED
Blythe Files Exception to Ruling And
Case is Still Not Definitely Settled,
It Seems.

Oyerruling the petition of z. z.
Blythe. asking for a recount of the
ballots in West HendeESonville, Hoop
ers Greek, Clear Creek and Rugby
rrecincts. the Henderson county board
af elections Monday declared w. F.
Brown the nominee of the Republican
party for the Office Of Tax Collector
and Treasurer of Henderson county.
However, Mr.. Blythe has fled exeep-
tions to the Euhngs and order Of the
board and the election muddle is still
not settled,
1t will be remembered that in the
second primary held Saturday, July /.
". F. Brewn and z. z. Blythe were
rival candidates for the nomination for
tax collector and treasurer. The off,
cial count of the ballots showed Mr..
Brown to have a majority Of four
votes, but believing that there were
Irregularities in the election, ME-.
Blythe Immediately filed notice of con-
test and hearing was set for July II.
This hearing, after much, argument
was postponed until Monday of this
week, when the board took final ae-
ton in the case as far as they were
concerned.
At the hearing Tuesday as on form
er occasion Blythe was represented by
Blythe, Rector and valentine, and
Browns lawyers were Smith and
Shipman. The argument in the case
took up the greater part of three
hours, the main point centering around
as to whether or not the board had
the right to go behind the official re-
turns and recount the votes. This the
board ruled they had not the right to
do In the face OF =ao absolute proof that
there were irregularities, and the NOM
ination of Mr. Brown was declared.
The exceptions to the ruling of the
board. made by Mr.. Blytne's attorneys
Immediately after the decision was an
nounced, are in part as follows:
The board erred in holding that it
could not. under the law go behind
the returns, hear evidence, and ascer-
tain what number Of voters, if any,
voted illegally for the respondent, w.
F. Brown, in the primary election of
July 1, 1916.
The board erred in holding it had
no authority to investigate and ascer-
tain. upon competent evidence, the
number of democrats who voted for
the respondent w. F. Brown. ia said

dence that petitioner proposed to offer

FLORIDA PAPER SAYS
HENDERSONVILLE O. X.

The recent disastrous flood that Wis
tied the mountains adjacent to Hen
dersonville very naturally gave rise
to many exaggerated reports. ). While
other places suffer great losses, and
almost irreparable damages it will be
of interest to the outside friends of the
visitors in Hendersonville to know
that city escaped the ravages of the
food and maintains normal in its af-
fairs of business and social matters.
Lights and water were cut of for
twelve hours but those have been re-
stored. Hendersonville is said to be
all right. and Florida people need not
fear about going there.-Titusville,

water rising, but as l opened the door
l realized not moment too soon that
it was landslide, and before could
give a warning to my wife and theitwo
children, the house had been carried
totally away, taking them with it. [
only escaped by a hairs breadth.
"EVerything l had was swept away
and the damages to my property is
about $1,000. l am now staying with
my brother, Jesse Huntley at Bear
Wallow."
The body OF Mrs. Huntley was found
on Sunday afternoon about quarter

and she was buried at Middle Fork
