ELECTION COMMISSIONERS MEET
And Canvass Returns-Protest Entered
Affecting New County Election.
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

the opposing side were represented
by Messrs Lee & Askins,
of the local bar. 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

(sustained Mr Lee's contention, i
; whereupon Mr Welch set forth |
'.seven different reasons for proI
testing the election, which emI
i braced illegal ballots: managers
'and voters not being sworn: per|
sons allowed to vote not being
j properly or legally registered
, and other irregularities.
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 board of cominisi

i sioners adjourned to meet uere
again next Tuesday, August 31,
, when the hearing of the protest
will be entered upon.

ed, it is believed, because two of his
friends had recently been shot by
police officers in this city, William S
Wade, a negro, today ran amuck on
the principal business street cf Monroe
with a double-barrel shotgun,
shooting first at every white man lie 1
saw and then firing indiscriminately
at every object before him. 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

afternoon showed that when Wade1
purchased the shotgun and a box of |
shells a few minutes before lie opened ,
fire on the first man there was uoth- !
ing unusual in his manner or be- j
havior. Other negroes who were with
lnm iu the morning say that he had ;
uottieen drinking nor did he showany
evidence of having taken co-,
caine.
Wade came to Monroe recent]v j
- I
from Pine Bluff, Ark. He was accompanied
by several other negroes|
and they commeuced to make trou-!
ble for the local police soon after j
they arrived. It was alleged that.
they were members of a socitrty in
Arkansas which had as its object re-!
venge for all injuries doue the black
race. As a result, theue negroes
clashed with the police on many ocn?vil

exchanged shots with officers. It
was alleged that Wade was heard to i
say that no white man was going to
shoot him. No more attention was
paid to him,however, until he started
on his wild career today.
