terest and Excitement.
%
VOTING BEGAN EARLY.
Toeiitlay'B Ilattle wan Strong and Vigorous
and Both Candidates and Supporters
Worked Hard—The Crowd was Orderly
and Goodnatured.
The story of the battle of the bal
lots can better be told in aritfitnetioal
figures than in figures of speech.
Last Tuesday’s battle was a vigorous
one and many telling licks were put
in by the numerous candidates and
their more numerous friends. The
day passed off quietly so far as Cbero*
kee is concerned and not even
a fisticuff occurred to mar the occa
sion. Voting bej'Hn early and con
tinned tc file close with unabated
interest. Shortly after the close of
the polls the crowd began to gather
in front of The Ledger office to watch
the returns. Tne first box sent in
was Stevy and from then on to the
small hours of Wednesday naorning
the air reverberated with the shouts of
For Congress
the populace as the figures went up
announcing the resnlts.
By 12 o’clock ^Tuesday night the
result was pretty well known so far
as the county candidates were con-
t roed, but it was not until yesterday
that the full figures for the State
candidates could be obtained.
The County Executive Committee
met yesterday and made a complete
count of the returns from the
twenty-four precincts in the town
and county of votes cast for all State,
: county, senatorial and congressional
candidates.
The tabulated statement of the
official count for each county and

BOD'S BRUT GIFT
TO SAVAGE MAN.
The Gift a Mystery Which
No Man Understands.
FLAW PICKER ON WOMAN
“Flaw” U a Great Admirer of the -‘Female
Woman,” but Can’t Get Around the Fact
That She Is a Mystery which Cannot be
Unraveled—Hla Experience.
Coalin' Ground, Aug. 28.—-In-
durio' my time I have met up with
varioUljm’ aandry myateries; I have
aeeo what some folks call ghosts an’
have found out what they were before
I etopped; smart men have explained
to me what causes thunder an' llgbt-
nln\ an’ earthquake*, an’ explosloo-
menta of volcanoes; smart men have
gone down into ths bowels of the
earth, as It were, an’ discovered the
mysteries of nature therein; they
have gone out to the forequarter* of
tha earth an' unraveled the myatertea
of nature there, God has banded
down to m»u tbi lightnin’ from the
clouds an’ is has mads slsetrlelty
out of it to take the plaee of steam
an’ keroeene oil; of all tha gifts
Which, you understand, hav* been
handed down by an all-providin’
Jehovah have been unraveled an’ un-
derstood by wise men but one, an’
that one gift Is the greatest gift that
1 God has ever handed down to man—-
' Woman.
How strange! that God would give
to man a liftetime partner, an’ help-
mote as It were, thst he can’t under
'stand—a mastery that the smartest
men In all Ine world have failed to
unravel.
The Parson took “Home” for bis
text one Sunday an’ indurin’ his con-
flab he said: “My beloved brethren
an’ sistreo, I could preach this same
sarmnnt to you for ten years an’ dig
up .new ideas every time 1 would open
month; yea, I could write
! that woman was somethiug more than
i a mere human bein’ like us men
I folks! I was a yearlin’ strip of a lad
goiu’to school in the country to a
log cabin with the bobbin’ all
punched out of the cracks. The
woodeo benches were arranged around
the wall so as to turn your feet on
either side, an’ some ofjthe gals.had a
fashion of turnin' their faces to the
wall an' slickin’ their toes in the
wall for props.
Now, it came to pass that there
was one gal in that push that would
slight me, say all manner of bad
things about me, make fuu of me,
an’ I raley did think that ebe bated
me most of all human betas’ on
earth. She was the prettiest gal in
the whole push, butjl, like any male
boy, hated her because of the way
she was wont to threw off On me, so
to speak. One day -I saw #h*4 I
thought to be a good ebanoe to get
even with her an' I put the scheme
Into effect. My class took recess be
fore hers, consequently,11 tfaa out
side the log cabin wbllct abs was lu-
aide with her toes a stlokln’ out at a
eraek. My aeheme was to bite her
toe till she begged pardon} whilst I
was outside bar reach, you under
stand. Oh, how delighted I waa at
the Idea of gettln’ even with her! I
eome down on her big tee with my
teeth so bard that abe Jerked It hook
with ell bet might.. 1 couldn’t let
loose qulek enough to anye my nose,
and kersmash it went agtinet the log
as she jerked. A thousand heavens
passed my eyes with >11 their sata-
Iltes of lurisom brightness, {but I
weren’t there; I was still In the low
grounds of ein an sorrow, laughed at
by the whole push so' bated by the
prettiest gal on the ranch—no, not
quite—she was a eryjn’ whilst the
others laughed, an’ the placin' of her
arov around me.* op at th$ neck re
vealed to me the greatest mystery
man ever know’d—a beautiful girl
who appeared to hate bnt yet loved.
Afterwards I found out that all of
’em was mysterions in some way or
other. Just let one of ’em place her
arms around you up at the neck and
you are as powerless as the little in
nocent bird under the hypnotic
charm* of a viper enake.
She can lead you to the jurapin’-off
place «n’ then with a sweet murmur

Editor Gaffney Leduer :—Please
allow me space in tout columns to
express my thanks to the voters of
Cherokee county, who, by their voter,
•o materially helped to|get me so far
in the lead in the second race for
Clark of Court. I wish to assure
them of my appreelstion{of their eon-
ence and of my purpose to merit
It.
The unselfish support which the
people have gives me touches my
hesrt and intensifies my desire to
4serve them worthily.
I shall be grateful to all who may
aid in the second primary. It matters
not bow they voted in the (first.
The vote of Tuesday gave ms 1231
which is a majority of 467 over my
strongest competitor, and it only
lacked 51 of tne votes”polled| electing
me on the first ballot.
I urge my friends and wellwishers
to go to the poles on the 9tb of Sep
tember and vote and work for me,
which I assure them I will highly ap
preciate, and I promise the people of
Cherokee County, if re-elected, to
cootinue to render them the same
faithful and efficient service that
have in the past.
Respectfully,
J. Eb. Jeeferies,
Clerk of Court.
ytra'to jump off first—an’ jump
there are thousands of men who jump
into eternity under the hypnotic in
fluences of woman. My. my, whati
mysterions bein's they are! If one
of ’em happens to love you right rale
well, she may have you paijn jail,
but you can bet yonr last dollar that
she’ll take you ont again; If one
hates you sure enough, she may
appear to love you. but. she’ll live to
see you in the bottomie** nits of tor
ment. A downright good woman is
the sweetest and noblest piece of
God’s creation; a downright mean
woman most ingeneraify manages to
give man mors tr iuble than ( In Satan
himself.
Ever since the hirin’ of that toe I
have been under the hi pmviccharms
of one woman tbiit 1 wouldn’t give
up for this ole world—the one who
has stood by me in trying hours of
my life, has given me a whole passel
of trouble In my time, but with alt
her faults 1 love her still.
