Election Conceeded to Removalist
onty is
The People Make
In Thursday's election on the. re-
moval of the county seat from
Webster to Sylva the Removalists ;
swept the county by the overwhelm-j
ing majority of from 700 to 800
with six of the fifteen townships
yet to report, out of these Caney
Fork and Canada are conceded to
Sylva by large majorities and the
oiher lour.hamburg, Mountain,River ;
Cashiers are tioubttul. The Remov
di$x&.th4vi carried- every - township
heard irorn with the exception of
Webster. Scott's Creek, Qualla and
barker's CreeK were almost unani
mous in favor oi removal while the
vote at Lilisboro was three to one
or removal, 'the majority for re-
noval in bylva was 290 Early in
the day reports began to come in
rom the townships on the railroad
and voting at Sylva was heavy, so
by nine o'clock it was seen that a
victory for removal was assured
ana it was only a question of how
arge tne majority wouia De. mi
- . Ill X
the line townships reported the
majority is 835. Sylva is now the
county seat.
this landslide eliminates any
possibility ot a contest on account
ot the dispute as to whether a ma
jority ot the votes cast or of the
registered vote was required. There
were very tew stay-at-home votes
and the strength of the county was
polled, giving the removalists an
overwhelming majority of the votes
cast and a large majority of the
qualified voters.
This has been the most interest
ing and most hotly contested cam
paign in the history of the county
The vote in the nine townships re
