Tuesday's election, electing a straight Democratic ticket, with the excep tion of sheriff. J. Ed MJcFarland, Republican candidate for sheriff, de feated Sheriff W. C. Hardin by a majority of 121 votes. Fred D. Ham rick was defeated by a majority of 335 votes ,while the remainder of the Republican ticket was defeated by an average of about 300 votes. Election day passed quietly in the county. The steady rain throughout the entire day kept many voters a way from the polls. It is estimated that 5,000 people who were entitled to vote did not do so. Both parties had a splendid organization work ing at all precincts which functioned well in getting out the vote. | Several thousand people were in j Rutherfordton Tuesday evening a - ('waiting the returns. At 9:20 Union j precinct reported, followed closely by Camp Creek and Mount Vernon By ten o'clock two other precincts, Pleasant Hill and Chimney Rock No. 2 had reported.

Logan Store, which did not report until Wednesday morning about ten . o'clock.
