Opelika, Ala., Augusts.—The election in Lee
resulted in the triumph of the democratic state
ticket by about 500 majority, and the independent
county ticket by 165. The following are the ma
jorities by beats:
Beat 1, the nominees 140 majority.
Beat 2, the independents 268 majority.
Beat 3. the independents 30 majority.
Beat 1, the independents 7 majority.
Beat 5, the nominees 20 majoiity.
Beat 8, the nominees 23 majority.
Beat 7, the independents 7 majority.
Beat 8, the independents 90 majority.
Beat 9, the nominees 77 majority.
Beat 10, the nominees 24 majority.
Beat 11, the independents 13 majority.
Beat 12, the nominees 15 majority.
Beat 13, the independents 50 majority'.
Majorities for nominees 305. for independents
485.
The election was hotly contested, but passed
ofTquictly, and the.failure of Rrowneville to off
set the large negro majority here is the cause of
the defeat of the democratic ticket. Under the I
circumstances the organized democracy has
made a gallant fight. Up to two weeks before
| the election it was rent and torn to pieces by in-
I tcriiftl dissensions, but these were happily ad
justed, but too late to win the victory. The ne
groes were thoroughly organized and voted almost
i solidly against the ticket. Over 1000 votes were
polled. In Opelika beat 1100 votes were polled.
Bingham received 591, Seay -547, Robinson 684,
Crayton 116. Both amendments were voted
against solidly. Turner received two votes in
the county.

every man, whether director or bondholder,
seems to look out only for himself and leave the
large mass of stockholders to bear ail the loss, it
is gratifying to find such generous and honorable
conduct, and we commend their course as worthy
of imitation. We presume nothing can be do-j
termined as to the future operation ofthe factory
until is ascertained whether the stockholders, or
any of them, choose to join in this purchase. We
take it for granted, however, that such valuable
property will not be permitted to lie idle whilst
our community can furnish ample means ami
brains to operate the mill successfully.

Nances, August 3.— Knquirhu-Sun: We made
a visit to Hamilton last Friday, accompanied by
Mr. A. M. Kimbrough, of Henry county, Ala
bama. Wo found the upland corn crop us good
as the land could make it whore it had been cul
tivated. The cotton crop is much better than wo
expected to find it from what wo had hoard of
the crop and the floods of rain that had fallen
AU the lowland corn that we saw was very poor.
The sorghum crop is fine, and
some of it will soon be ready to grind. We saw
some corn patches in Hamilton that, it is esti
mated, will make forty bushels per acre. At
Hamilton we found the Southern Medical con
vention in session, presided over by Professor
Pound. The citizens of Hamilton had very kindly
thrown open their doors and gave the delegates
-Monies. Mr. Kimbrough met some of his old
friends that be bad not seen for twenty years.
It was pleasant to sec these old men meet and
hear them talk of their younger days. Wo spent a
pleasant night with H. W. Pitts and his excellent
wife and Mrs. Bobbie Pitts, from Atlanta. We
'returned ou Saturday to Mr. T. H. Kimbrough’s,
where we got a good dinner aud were showu two
acres ofthe finest upland corn we have seen in a
longtime. It is ofthe Mausby variety. It has
from two to three large ears to the stalk. Mr. K.
says the seed cost him about $6 per bushel.
We are needing rain. A few more days of dry
weather will cause the cotton to throw off its
fruit.
The cabbages are being destroyed by worms.

Wait fur tin* Morning.
Wait for the morning—it will come indeed,
As surely as the night hath given need.
The yearning eyes, at last, will strain their sight,
No more unanswered by t lie morning light;
No longer will they vainly strive through tears
To pierce the darkness of thy doubts and fears,
But. bathed in balmy dews and rays of dawn,
Will smile with rapture o’er the darkness gone.
Wait for the morning. O thou smitten child.
Scorned, scourged ana persecuted and reviled.
Athirst and famishing, none pitying thee,
Crowned with the twisted thorns of agony—
No faintest gleam of sunlight through the dense
Infinity of gloom to lead thee thence—
Wait thou for morning; it will come indeed
As surely as the night hath given need.

From the score it will be seen that while the
aggregates of Captain Whiteside and Corporal
Mahone are the same, the general average ofthe
latter is better, and consequently he was awarded
the first prize. Mr. J. C. Holland, of the City
Light Guards, won tlie second prize, aud Captain
Whiteside, of the Columbus Guards, won the
third, making 24 out of a possible 25 at 100 yards.
Fifty was the possible score for the combined
distances. The Columbus Guards won the bat
talion championship. I. must be said in justice
to the Southern Rifles, that they have never re
ceived any new guns from the state, and yester
day they used the Columbus Guards’ guns, with
which they were not at all familiar.
After the rifle contest the battalion was re
formed and marched to the intersection of Broad
and Tenth streets, where the prizes were de
livered by Price Gilbert, Esq., in his happiest
style. A dress parade was then hud and the pro
gramme for the afternoon was ended.
The day was a pleasant one to every member
of the companies^participating iu the occasion,
and will serve to strengthen the ties of friend,
ship and brotherly feeling existing between
them. The Southern Rifles have made an im
pression on our citizens,-and we are glad that
they came among us. They will remain until t< -
night and we hope their visit will be of a most
pleasant character throughout, and that they
will have occasion to return again sooy.
MEETING OF THE OFFICERS.
A meeting of the officers of the battalion was
held last night to discuss some plan of promot
ing the interest ofthe organization and bringiug
the companies together oftener. It was decided
to have an encampment of at least three days,
beginning on the 3d of July, n;xt
year. The selection of the place was
left with t»ie lieutenant-colonel. A com
mittee of five, composed of the captain of each
company and the lieutenant-colonel, was ap
pointed to draf by-laws for the government ofthe
battalion. It was also determined to join the
other battalions in the state in a united move
ment in favor of state aid to the militia.

D. F. Willcox, Agent Travelers’ Insurance Co:
Dear Sir—A few years ago you induced me to
take out an Accident Policy in the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept it up year by
year, not at all anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it,
as well as for the Company’s check of $353.67 is
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of ft very painftil accident, threat
ening the loss of iny right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” I shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and I shall not forget the
promptness ofthe Company in paying my claim
as soon as the amount could be ascertained.
