IN FRANKLIN COUNTY.
THE
ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET ELECTED
By Majorities Ranging From
1664 to 1900 The Republi
cans and Soreheads Snowed
Under by Shower of Ballots.
The election in Franklin county
passed off quietly and the result' is a
stinging rebuke to the hand full of
Republicans and "soreheads" .who
have been charging that the present
administration in charge of county
anairs, have been extravagant
While the vote is a little short of
that of two years . ago, the majorities
are about tbe same.
The Republicans had no names
on their ticket for Solicitor, Sheriff,
Register of Deeds, Clerk of the
Court, Coroner or Survevor and the
flight was centered on J. A. Thomas
for Treasurer, (the Republicans en
dorsing Willis Tharrington, inde-
pendent) T. W. Bickett for the
Aouso, (His opponent being Dr
Peter R. Hatch, postmaster at
Youngsville) and the present Board
of county commissioners. '
Bogus tickets were gotten out
with a view of fooling the voters at
the polls, but very few of them found
their way to the ballot boxes. Had
this trick not have been found out
however and exposed by J. A
Thomas, Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee, no doubt some
of the unsuspecting voters would
have been fooled. We have heard
that only a few of the bogus tickets
were voted.
The tabulated statement of the
vote by townships appears elsewhere.

Our Fire Company was Afforded
an Opportunity to Show What
it Could do When Its Ser
vices Were Needed.
On last Friday our town was twice
disturbed by .the alarm of fire once
in the morning and again at night.
In the morning about D:30 o'clock
it was discovered that the kitchen of
Mrs. Willis Boddie, on Cedar "street,
was on fire and the alarm was imme
diately given. The Fire Company
responded in good time, but on ac
count of the wrong Si were mis
led and crossed the river going in
the 4th ward but soon found the
error and returned at once. Upon
their arrival at the scene of the fire it
was discovered that the fire being
small had bten extinguished by out
siders. There was very slight dam
age. About 9 o'clock p. m., the alarm
was again given, this time it was
.Lancaster s Stables on x fire. The
stables were located west of the iai
and belonged to Mr. G. W. Ford
In a few minutes the whole building
was in a light blaze and as the fire
company was quick to -respond they
soon had it under control. The work
done by them was grand and leaves
no room for any one to question the
wisdom of putting in the water sys
tem, as in their work they saved
wooden buildings that were adjoin
ing the burning one, and moreover
stopped the fire before it had con
sumed a great portion of the frame
work of the burning building. The
estimated loss of building is about
$500. No insurance.
Mr. Lancaster only lost a few old
buggies, several sets of harness and
some feed. His horses were all got
ten out.
Several traveling men who wit
nessed the wor of the firemen ' pro
nounced it as good work as they had
ever seen in the cities.
"Joshua Simpkins."
The humorous comedy drama,
"Joshua Simpkins," accompanied by
a fine bard and an excellent orchef
tra, will be seen at the Opera House
Friday night, Nov. 9th. It is a rural
play in four acts, bound together by
an interesting plot and produced with
special scenery carried by the com
pany. In the third act a realistic
saw-mill scene is introduced, when a
real buzz saw is seen cutting through
a real log at a terrific speed upon
which a human being has been help
lessiy bound by his enemies and left
to an evident death. There is an
abundance of comedy in the play,
while there are many fine singing
and dancing specialties incidentally
introduced.
