Saturday March 2uth should be a day long to be remembered in Chero kee county. The first election ever held in the county took place that day and one thousand, three hun dred and sixty-one men cast their lirst ballot in Cherokee county, al though some of them were more than three score and ten and had been living in the same place for perhaps a half < entury. The day passed oil without inci dent The weather was of the In dian summer variety and just such weather as is calculated to bring out a heavy vote, but the count showed that not more than two-thirds of those who live within the new county and who have a right to vote exer cised that right. The election was a primary to rec ommend to theCiovenor the choice of the citizens of Cherokee county for i the appointive ofTices of Treasurer ut d Auditor. There were two candidates for Treasurer—Messrs J. V. Sarratt and •i. It. Jones. It would have been difficult to have -elected two better men to run for the office. Both are well and favorably known and it has been the privilege of the scribe to have been acquaint! d with both for the past three years and we have yet to hear the lirst word spoken against either of them. Mr. Jones majorfty over Mr. .Surratt was 301. There were live men in the race for Audi’or, viz: W. I). Camp, R. R. Wilkins, J. K. Foster, W. L. Morgan andJ. A. Wsisonant. From what we can learn all of these were good men. However us but one could win the lucky number fell to Mr. W. D. Camp, he receiving a pluarality of Hi.') over his highest ompetitor, Mr. Wilkins. At 2 o’clock Tuesday the hoard of election commissioners. Messrs. J. F. Mosteller, C. C. Davis and W. 1). Gaston met with chairman Thomp- -on, of the executive committee, and tabulated the vote of the primary. The meeting was entirely harmoni ous and as nothing but routine busi ness was transacted there was no in cident worth recording.

Col. Camp’s plurality vote was in deed a magnificient one. The fact that he polled a plurality of 21.) over Mr. Wilkins, his closest competitor, is ample just iiication for his exuber ance. There were no incidents of the day worthy of note. Fwrything passed oil in the pleasantest kind of a fash ion. Mrs. Annie Lockhart Dead. Mrs. Annie F. Lockhart died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Tom Gaffney. March Iff 181)7. She was the daughter of Win. and Isabella Dunn and was horn May 27, 1824. She was married to Mr. William Lockhart in May 1840 and lived hap pily until her husband’s death a year orlwoago. For several months she has been a great sufferer but she miih ’ never heard to complain. She was a beautiful example of patience and endurance in the midst of alt her suf fering. The messenger of death was not unexpected. She knew he must come and was ready for the sermons. She was resigned, submissive and in her last days seemed anxious to go and be at rest. She frequently expressed this wiliings to her sister and the loved ones around her. She was member of the Methodist church and died in the triumph of a Christuin's faith. Three daughters and u large number of relatives and friends mourn her loss. The furitrul service was icnducted from the late home of the diseased Saturday morning at 11 o’clock hy Rev. J. 1).
