County Commis the result in the case of one or two A ?Jou?rs F1 Monday rfnd transacted was in "doubt until the official I the foll0wig business: count declared the result follows : Majorities. 362 Spainhour, Solicitor, Gudger, Congress, - 19 77 59 30 8 43 77 486 486 47 63 62 57 27 Ballenger, State Senate, Hoey, State Senate, Morris, Representative, Robertson, (rep.) Sheriff, -Arledge, Clerk of Court, Burgess, Kegister, Edwards, (rep.) ) Feagan, (Deir..) Trsurer. Childers, Coroner, -Pearson, Surveyor, - Livingston, ) Ruppe,' Commissioners, Miller, J The Board of County Canvassers were busy all day tabulating the returns. For awhile the result was in doubt regarding the oounty commissioners, but a careful count gave the majorities to the demo cratic candidates. Mr. Feagan. was thought to have been beaten at first but when the count was made a tie was declared. The Board was not satisfied with this and bv a caieful recount ifr. mr eagan was found to have two moi e votes than his opponent and was declared elected. The Republicans claimtd that a number of illegal ballots had ben cast at Tryon and endeavored to have the box thrown out but the matter was dropped before an investigation-was instituted. A Charlotte paper of Nov. 5th stated that Polk County had gne republican by a small majority, but how this erroneous report reached them is hard to understand unless the figures at Saluda and Cooper's Gap pi ecincts which gave the re publicans good majorities, was taken. as "a. basis for such a report. The party or parties who sent the report nad evidently not beard from the Greens Creek and Tryon precincts, which gave the demo crats good majorities. Mr, Weaver is the only defeated candidate on the democratic ticket. Sheriff Robertsons' majosity two years ago was 141 ; this year it was reduced to only eight, showing that Mr. Weaver has gained a great deal and in- case he should again be the nominee of the demo cratic part will be almost sure of election, although Sheriff jttober t son is conceded to be a strong man in Polk County. - The result of the contest between Moody and Gudger for Congress is still" uncertain and only an official count will settle it. Gudger claims a majority of 250 votes and should ho havo this much ' majority his election- is likely to be contested by Moody, Some are of the opinion that Gudger will not stand much chance if his election -is con tested as the Congress .beiug re publican will rule him out.. Complaints continue to come in from subscribers to the effect taat they fail, from time to time, to re ceive their copy of Thp News. If such subscribers would make care ful inquiry at their post-office they would find that, in many cases, the paper has been taken out by someH one perhaps a memoer oi tuo iiu ily and then possibly misplaced. If they fail to receive a copy by Sat urday of each week they should send us a card and we will look in to the matter of missing copies, but when they wait a week or ten days before notifying us, ; it is then too late to discover the reason for the failure of a copy to reach them and we are not in a position to say, why 'it was not received. urdered that Sallie Owens be sent to the poor house.
