THE ELECTION IN DOOLY.

Cordele, Nov. 4.—A vory email

day, simply because the county ha*
a very strict registration law
polling every man to register iu
person with the tax collector, be
fore every election. Less than one
hundred and fifty votes were (tolled
for Crisp. There were no vote*
palled for the radical candidate,
there had been no regi*t ration law,
Crisp would have gotten five hun
dred votes at this precinct, but as
this 1* a democratic county by a
large majority aud there was never
any daugtr of the republican* cap

law only keeps the voter* of the
county from voting except at Vi
enna, the county seat, where the
tax collector and registry lives and
whero the registration books
ways open. This registration law
for Dooly coynty seems to have
been made more for the purpose of
keeping the old court bouse
clique in power at Vienna than
for any other cause whatever.

Zelluer, the charming daughter of
Judge B, H. Zelluer, of Monroe

relatives leave to-night to attend

Is the happy termination of a love
affair which sprang up between
this couple when both of them were
happy, laughing ncbool children,
and this goes to disprove tlie old
adage that, "whom we first love wo
seldom wed.”

The haudaome couple received
the congratulations of the throng In
a most fitting manner. Compli

most gracefully by Mr. and Mrs.

A Sad Csss.
There was a sad case of destitu
tion In the city a few days ago, and
our mayor and police force showed
what big hearts they have by their
actions. Many suoh cases fall Into
their notice which others know
nothing about, and they never fall
aid them to the best of thslr
means. If others knew of them,
they doubtless would help In re
lieving the object, but when such
are found out the city officials sel
dom call ou the citizens, but go
down la their pockets without say-
log anything about It.
A few days since a young woman
with two children arrived In the
city looking for work. She was
ragged and without a oent In the
world. A few month* since she
was happy, with a good home and
an apparently good husband. But
one day th* vllllan left her and the
children and since then the poor
forsaken woman has had to look
out for herself.
She cauie toaAmerlous looking
for work, could not get It, and with
her two children was without a
cent. The officers found it out, re
ported the case at headquarters and
the mayor and policemen Immedi
ately raised enough to send her to
relatives In Columbus.
It was a praiseworthy act, and
ono which Is often done by the
same men.
I have removed my Pharmacy to

be pleased to have you call.

Interest now centres here and elaa*

That Judge Crisp is tba man,
there can be at little doubt as <4
any thing in the future. He isroo-
ognlzod far and wide as the "great
est democrat of them all,’’.and from
every State como wishes and pre
dictions that ho be speaker.
The remit In Amerlens to-day
stood: For Hon. C. F. Crisp, 60S;
for Gibson, 85.
The vote was light, both In Amort-
Icua and tha country preclnete.
Here there wore only 094* votes
polled, and from the other preelncta
heard from the vote seems to have
been small in about the same pro
portion.
The balloting was begun at seven
o’clock, and for.au hour or two
very few were cast. Of the number
about half were cast by the negroes,
and all for Gibson the negro oandl-
Tho whites tlicn'.began coming np
faster, and whllo at no time waa
thero anything like a rush, a pretty
steady stream kept up for the rest
of tho day.
■There wore only 88 negro votes in
all, three of which were for the
Democratic uomlnee. Everything
moved along smoothly, and the
election was the quietest In oar his
tory. There was no crowd In town
and no gathering around the troll*.
As will be seen In another col
umn, the vote In the other countlea
of the district were abont In tba
proportion as here, though
Gibson received more votes In aoma
of them. In the country preolneta
of this county the negroes polled
small votes.wlth one pr twQexcep

Every ono received, on being
