it is certainly gratifying to the

land who are not afuiid to be gener

proprietors of 1 h\ King's New Dis

colds, have given away over ten inil
lioe trial buttles of this great medi
cine; and have the satisfaction of
knowing it lias absolutelv cured thou

* Gin House precinct will be contested.
The following executive committeemen were elected from their re
spective districts: .1 L Bankston, Abbeville; IT P Stone, Bowen’s .will;
Willis Cason, Davis Mill; Warren Fairclotli, Gin IIouso; A B Cain. Ro
chelle;,) V Dennaad, Ryal’s Mill;,) R Clements, Shake Rag; II E Brown,

Last Wednesday will mark one of the hardest fought elections in the
history of the county, (except court house election.) The principle fight
was between the Representative and Commissioners or the Rochelle “mass
meeting” crowd and Hie “Anti mass meeting crowd,” to be plain, the fight
developed into one between Abbeville and Rochelle in spite of all the
precautions put forth by Abbeville, and the Court house was the issue.
You know tlie Court house is in everything in Wilcox county, schools,
churches, 'Societies, fraternities and all. Well, this is the “mess” now to
stSirl with, and we are in a “mess” and no mistake about it. But we will
get hack to the consolidation. As the above table will show the polling
by districts it is unnecessary to again mention the number of votes cast etc.
All worked well throughout the day Wednesday and tlie reports from
all the precincts that could be heard from gave tlie Anti “Rochelle mass
meeting crowd,” a majority. One district could not be heard from, (how
funny). No, everything was as dumb as an oyster as to that district ’till
tlie very hour for consolidation; then a bomb was exploded. It was a
shell in the camp and “no joke.” Said precinct was “Gin House” precinct.
When tne returns were opened a great many irregularities were no
ticed, but all these were overlooked ’till it was observed on the face of the
returns that G (’ Wilcox was marked 35 and Bowen 113 then Wilcox was
erased and the number seemed to raise Bowen’s number, and when the
returns were read out and nothing given to Wilcox, Dennard, Mitchell, et
al, who claimed that votes were cast there for them, then an explosion
followed that was almost equal to the “Dewey” morn at Manilla.
A protest was filled in short order to receiving said returns, till an in
vestigation could be had, whereupon a number of the managers refused
to sign the document declaring the result of the election only by protest
against said Gin House precinct. In this shape the managers turned over
their work to the Democratic Executive Committee, which body was asked
by council for contestants, to suspend action upon the matter till Wednes
day the 17th, inst, in order for contestants to show, if they could, that
votes were east at said precinct for them.
During the progress of the meeting of the Committee, members began
to drop out, one at a time, till all but three absented themselves. Two of
tlie three remaining were in favor of postponing a decision till Wednesday,
one against postponing', whereupon Chairman P II Coffee arose and de
clared the result as it appeared, not regarding the contest, not the two
remaining members who were in favor of postponing the declaration till
Wednesday. Now who are the nominees? Has Wilcox county any regu
larly nominated candidate as announced by the Democratic Executive
Committee? Before the work of either the managers.or the committeemen
were concluded a notice of contest was tiled. The final announcement was
raiulo by the chairman <*vit the protest of a majority of the members
ptvsonY.
Tliis will boubtless be an interesting cast for the State Executive
Committee to pass upon.
