FELL SHORT OF A MAJORITY.
Ir J S Graham Lacked Thirteen Votes
of Election.
There seems to be some diference
of opinion as to whethr
or not Mr J S Graham would
tave received a majority vote
lad the returns from Gourdin
.nd Bloomingvale been counted,
n the hurry and confusion incident
to tabulating" the primary
eturns the erroneous result was
rrived at by those who had
igured it out that had those
wo precincts been included in
he summary Mr Graham would
lave been elected,and the couny
chairman so announced it.
At the first blush it would
eem that Mr Graham did have
. majority vote, but a careful
eview of the returns (including
he unofficial figures from
Moomingvale and Gourdin) indicate
that Mr Graham fell 13
rotes short of election had the
yhole vote been counted. Here
s how it comes about:
The majority vote as tabulat
id was lUod, out at tne twu
>olls referred to there were
ast 85 votes for this office, which
aises the majority for the
vhole county to 1098, and Mr
Jraham's total vote was 1085,
acking13 of a majority.

Lake City, September 1: In ^
this section there is'practically 1
no news except the Hood. This '
has absorbed all attention for a j
week. It has been the upper- t
most thought in all minds and c
visiting and inspecting differ- :
ent points along Lynch's river r
line Knnrlav heen the lead I
ing occupation of hundreds. The
''oldest inhabitant" is complete- ^
ly out of business, this freshet ^
being so much greater than any- j
thing he ever heard of, much j
less saw, that he has nothing to |*
say. Along Lynch's river the , |
water extended about one mile
farther outward than ever known
before Several families have ^
had to move out and hundreds
of farms are covered. On Mon- <
day boats plied between the Sol- (
on Evans place and and the hill <
at PD Cockfield's, right down
the Georgetown road. John 1
Tilton's, Johnnie Moore's, Bob c
Cockfield's and the Jack Mc- i
Knight places were entirely un- i
der water. The above are sing- t
led out for the reason that they (
are well known and will give a 1
good idea of the height of the 1
water. All along the river it s
was the same. One could get 1
no nearer Anderson's bridge i
than the branch at Walter Cox's, f
which would swim a horse i
When L N Jones moved out Sun- ]
day morning the water was un- <
der his house. The neighbor- (
hood of the old William Myers <
place was a perfect sea of water ]
wi51ac Tlio /-rocf r?f thp flnnd >;
reached Bass's bridge Monday i
morning, and then the water be- ^
gan subsiding at the rate of one I
half an inch an hour. At 5 e
o'clock that afternoon the Lib- i
erty section received the full
impact. The water reached the
Lee burying ground back of
Tbad Lee's house. In Sank
Cameron's fields it was four to
five feet high and only the lonely
corn tassels were visible and
Calvin Cameron's chickens were
roosting on the joists of his
house. The latest news here is
that the back water from Pee *
Dee had reached Half Moon and
that the yellow "liquid was
standing three to four feet in ^
Mr Simon Poston's store.
g
It is reported here that a boy j
who was in a field near Hudson's
bridge was caught by the on- *
rushing wave and drowned, and

i good many hogs were drown?d.
The extent of the damage
:o crops cannot even be approxmated
now, as there is no def- . ;
nite knowledge as to how long
:otton and corn may remain in
vnlpr without serious iniurv.
die most mature opinion seems
;o be that should these crops
emain submerged four or five
lays they will be wholly ruined
ind that shorter periods will
esult in injury in proportion to
ength of submergence.

E L Hirsch, Esq., was here
Friday from Kingstree.
Mr C W Wolfe spent a portion
)f one day here last week. As
iver he is hustling for The Record.
Tuesday night of last week
VIr Robert Cook met with a very
langerous accident and one that
n most instances would have
esulted much ir.ore seriously
ihan in this instance. He had
?nlisted in the army at Charle^
:on and was on train No 82 on
lis way to New York to enter
service. His family live near
lere?in fact one brother lives
n town. When the train was
joing through town he, thinkng
he might see some of his
people, went down the steps
ind swang out to the full length
)f his arms. Realizing that he
:ouid not pull himself back, be
pitched out, turned a ^um?er;ault
and landed on the ground
it the Main street crossing. He
vas stunned and considerably
Druised but no bones were brok;n
and he will be himself again
n a few weeks.
