The county ooard of State election commissioners met Tuesday at 12 o'clock M. to canvass the returns and declare the result of the election held on August 17 on the dispensary Question and also on the ques w tion of the formation of the proposed county of Rutledge. The dispensary election having been ^^^won by the prohibitionists by decided majority, very little ^ interest was manifested in the canvass of the returns prek liminary to declaring-the result. The new county election, on the i other hand, was a live wire, the air being filled with rumors of protests and contests, so that no one was surprised when the 11 o'clock train from Lake City |H came in to see alight therefrom some fifty or more citizens of the would-be county of RutWf ledge, who came over to keep ^ in touch wiih the situation. When the election commissioners began their work there were probably lOo to 150 spectators in the court room and throughout the whole day the average attendance was scarcely less. The crowd was quiet and orderly and appeared to be V deeply interested in the work on hand. If there was an undercurrent of bitterness or ill feelI ing it was not apparent, and * ' ^ the proceedings were redeemed from deadly dullness only by a few flashes of repartee passing between opposing counsel. The board of commissioners finished tabulating the vote in the dispensary election and found the result to be 529 to 859 I in favor of prohibition. Then they were ready to go into the iv new county election. Attorney w Welch of Columbia and W L ^ -r t 1? rsi i.

At the suggestion of the attorneys the board agreed to take a recess until 3 o'clock p in, at which hour they met again and the work of canvassing and tabulating the returns went on uninterruptedly. The result of this tabulation was found to be 015 votes cast for Rutledge county and 40 against it. At this juncture Attorney Welch moved for a recount of the ballots, to which Mr Lee objected,insisting that the grounds j upon which the recount was re1 /f'ifnn 1*1/1 AlllfA 1 1l VP.

At this point Mr Lee moved j j that an adjournment be taken to allow him time to prepare an J {answer to the protest Tiled by i Mr Welch.

The fire was returned and the negro finally fell dead with a bullet through his! heart, but not before 29 men, three1 of them members of his own race,: bad been wouuded. Waders body was publicly burne-1, after it had been cut down from aj pole on which it had hung for half j an hour or more after he was killed.1 An investigation by the police this .7111 VJ e must have room and we oflfe ) U T S A 20 per ceajffi" every piece.
