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.
