_ >V very exciting election was held
In Charleston on Tuesday last in
which John T. Crace was elected
Mayor and Vincent Chlcco, "King
of Hllnd Tigers" was elected Alder
man from Ward 3. A press dis
patch from Charleston says:
."When the polls closed In the
Charleston municipal' primary the
city had seen one of the hardest
fought contests of its history.
Throughout the day feeling, cen
tered in the mayoralty racu between
T. T. Hydo and John T (Jrace, ran
high. Challenges at the polls and
arrests were numerous. The polls
were surrounded with . cheering
crowds all day long.
"The activity and excitement
about the polls surpassed any elec
tion that Charleston has held in
many voars. A number of the old
er voters compared the scenes to
those of 1 M 7 *i , save that the negro
was not today a participator in tlie
election."

the just right hang of a coat, the curve
of a lapel, the fit and shape of the trousers.
