Prominent among them was 5 the old Newberry college, which stood Di - in the northern portion of the town, Cc on the site of the present Smeltzer ce - hall, which was built on the same an foundations, and which was for a long su time the main college building, and ab - is now used as a dormitory.

TOTING FOR MAGISTRATES. iling by County Chairman Dominiek Covering Case Where Vote is Cast in Another Township. The question has been asked as to ting for magistrates in the respec 'e townships, as to what magistrate can vote for in case the voter re les in one township and his name enrolled on a Democratic e!ub list another township. My ruling is, at the voter will vote and only be [owed to vote for the office of mag rate in the township in which he sides, in which case, the managers .11 tabulate the vote in the same inner as other offices. In other )rds, if a voter resides in Numbor township, but belongs to a Demo atic club in Number 9 township, ien he comes to vote for magistrate, must vote for one of the candidates )m Number 10 township, and the inagers of said precinct will report e vote for the candidates of Num r 10, as well as the candidates from imber 9. . ., Fred.
