State has an election developed such
evenly divided strength. The contest
between Gardiner and Morrison has few
parallels in any State, and the con
test for second place on the Associate
Justiceship ticket leaves the contestants
closer together, than lias ever happen
ed before.
Undisputable, majorities were con
ceded several days ago to Wade Ship
man, Lacy, an Graham, and an assumed
majority to Justice Hoke. Successful
candidates were undeniably happy over
the returns particularly M. L. Shipman
who received greater majority over his
ancient enemy, D. P. Dellinger by ly
020 votes. ' ' ,

larger by 100 than for any other candi
date. Colonel A. D. Watts, who was
present as an onlooker, asserted. that it
was very probable an error of entry,
and the Board moved to inquire of the
Richmond county chairman as to the
correctness of the entry. Telegraphic
communication brought woTd . later in
the day that the vote returned was an
error, and the vote was changed to 853,

.ATJEAYETTEVILLE
I was one of the 25 veterans
that went to the reunion in Fay
etteville last week from Chatham
county, and am requested to give
your readers an account of it and
ourselves.
To make a long story short,- all
of the 650 that were there said it
was the best reunion ever they
had attended. Fayetteville was
turned over to us. The women
said we were their sweethearts
and could not do too much for
mi 1 1 il
us. rne sleeping piace was ine
barracks of the Donaldson school.
Ihe new bedding was loaned for
our use by Gen. McNair, of Camp
Bragg. The sheets were white
-m "B r -r 1
as snow, miss uame m. JacK
son was asked by the Chatham
delegation to act as sponsor for
our camp. Our Chatham men
were highly complimented on
their appearance.
The ball, which was to have
taken place at Marsh-McKeth-
an hall but which was too small
to accommodate the hundreds
that danced, was held in another
place. The"Veterans danced as
gracefully as sixteen year old
cotillion. With "hands all rourid.
swing corners, ladies to the right,
promenade all, balance to part
ners, ' ' and we enjoyed it.

Sneezing with such violence as
to cause her eye to fall out was
the experience of Miss Marjorie
Pryor of Chester., Pa. The optic
was replaced.
Remember the good old days
when it was considered a dis
grace to have a shape like a beer
keg.
Did you ever notice how prop-
