Only the Georgia senators and representatives, .Secre tary’ Lamar and a few intimate friends of the bride will be present. Mr. Harris and bride will leave to-morrow night for White Sulphur Springs, where they will remain a month. Miss Moses is related to the family of Senator Hill.” Col. Harris is the immediate representative of The Democratic State Ticket Elected, lint the Independents Bin the Local Eight. Special to Enquirer-Sun. 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. BIKE COUNTY.

The official vote for the four highest candidates is: W. J. Hilliard. 1036; Frank Baltzell, 926; J. E. W. Henderson, 857; L. H. Bowles, 575. Intense ex citement prevailed the entire day, but it passed off peacefully and quietly. The Interest in the race for probate judge cast everything else in the shade. Sidney McLeod, of Orion, and W. J. McBryde, of Troy, were elected representatives by hand some majorities. Oglethorpe Worthy was re-elected circuit court clerk without opposition. The vote for superintendent of education is not yet counted up, but the race was between J. W. Hollan and A. Haley, with the chances strongly in favor ofthe former. uimtEBEUs cm nty.

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. R.

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. Nave Your Money. The E. Ross & Co.
