A report of a strange crime or ead I attempt at suicide reaches us from I Hart County, Ga. Mr. James McCon- " ti el, formerly of this County, but for I l?verai years a resident of Hart Conn? ty, G.o., was married Sunday of last I week ic Miss Saiiio Skelton, of Hart! County. The marriage was solemnized I st the home of Mr. John Tonsley, a I brother-in-law of tho bride. Ed. C. 1 McConnell, father of the young rann I and a resident at Cox's Mill, was noti-1 fled and was pieouuc nt the wedding, j returning home the Monday following, j Monday night ho received a telegram informing him, in substance, that his I ; son, the bride-groom, had been found with his throat cut. Tho father left I for the home of his son at once, but nothing has been heard from him since. It appears that the baying of a hound attracted parties to a nearby swamp Monday morning where they I were horrified to find young Mcconnel lying in a pool of blood with his throat I cut. He was still breathing, but it waa thought he would die before phy-1 sicians could reach him. Whether he had been fonlly dealt with or whether it was an attempt at suicide could not j bo learned. s I The Primary Election. Enclosed in this issue isa supplement giving the tabulated vote of the Coun ty with totals for each candidate. Care has been taken to correct the errors in the. tables previously published, and these can be filed for future reference so far as the totals are concerned, the only trcuble being that in some in stances two boxea have been Counted together. There will be no second race lot County offices. The majority, with one accord, were together in the selec tion of a man for every office. This is unusual? bntit serves toshow that the majority of the voters in this County are working in perfect harmony. Those elected are: For the Senate, J. K. Hood; House of Representatives, J. B. Leverett, G. A. Rankin, W. P. Wright, M. P. Tribble and S. N. Pear man; Probate Judge, R. Y. H. Nance; County Supervisor, J. X. Yandi ver; Supt. Education, R. E. Nicholson; Treasurer, Jas. M. Payne; Auditor, G. N. C. Boleman, For the office of Judge of Probate, Judge Nance had the small majority of 17 over the total votes cast for that office, and E. W. Long, one of the can didates for this office, receiving the next largest number of votes, decided to contest the election because he was informed that there were a few Blight errors in returns from several voting precincts. He came to the city Mon day and advised with friends, and finally decided that an informal re count of several cf tho boxes he had reason to believe were incorrect would decide whether he would proceed with or abandon the contest. County Chairman H. H. Watkins, with his usual kind courtesy, readily acquiesced, and, with E. G. Mcadams, j representing Judge Nance, the votes of several boxes were counted. An error of only one vote was discovered and Mr. Long announced himself as satis fied. This ended the idea of contest and called off the meeting of the exe-' cativo committee which was called to meet yesterday. It ls a remarkable fact that every one of the nominees for the House of Representatives is an old Yeterao. This shows the esteem in which they are held by the voters oi. Anderson County. At the second primary to bo held on the Oth inst, candidates to be voted for ! will be those for U.S. Senate and Con gress, Governor, Lieutenant-Governor^ Secretary of State, Comptroller Gen- j eral, Adjutant and Inspector General and Railroad Commissioner. Mr. McCuliy States Facts. In the card in Sunday's issue of The Daily Mail, and Advocate, and in this issue of The Intelligencer, signed "Anderson,'' attention was called to tho vote of Dr. Smith in Pickens Coun ty .ind of Mr. Aiken's vote iu Abbeville County with the evident purpose of disparaging the latter's standing at his home. Now let's comparo facts and figures. In Pickens Dr. Smith bnd no opposition, and out of 2,400 votes he receivod 1,GG0, losing 800 votes. In Abbeville County, where Mr. Aiken had strong opposition in ex-Senator McCalla and Senator Graydon, McCalla received 718 votes, Aiken GOO, Graydon 051. In th? town of Abbeville, where Mr. Graydon has lived over 20 years and Mr. Aiken for7years, Graydon ran 16 votes behind Aiken. In the community of Cokesbury, Hodges and Coronaca, in Greenwood County, where both Aiken and Gray don were raised, the total vote there was 240 and Aiken received 207 of them. This statement is simply made in fairness to Mr. Aiken and is just a little information for t hp public. From the number of votes Mr. Aiken received in the primary I think that it is pretty well conceded that he is the man to represent our District in Con gress. To send Wyatt Aiken to Congress I am sure would be no discredit to the .name onr forefathers were so loyal to, bnt am positive would be a credit to thia District and so wo would elect a thoroughly conscientious man-up-to date on all National questions, and one that would represent us well.

THE many advantages the Deering Mower has enables the operator to work it with much more ease than any other machine, and no time lost in go ing around stumps and trees. This Machine is so constructed that the driver is at no trouble in lowering and raising the cuttei bar in passing stumps an? trees. With no effcrt scarcely he brings the cutter bar to an upright position without stopping the Machine. There are many other advantages the Deer ing Ideal Mower has that we will show you when you want a M'wer. The Pitman Rod of this Mower has only two pieces, while all other Machine? have from ten to twenty-five pieces to wear out and be replaced. The Mower is not all in looking up an outfit. It is essential to have a good Rake, and the Deering Rake is the simplest Rake on the market^ A comparison of our Rake with other makes will convince any farmer that it is the Rake he needs.
