Respectfully,
CARROLL & CARPENTER.
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. The follow
ing is the tabulated report :

Mr. Jones has the satisfaction of
knowing that he beat one of the best
men in the county, and he is proud,
and justly so, of his achievement.
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). Crout, of the Methodist
church.
