The returning board on account
of irregularities threw out Wilton,
Buchanan, Dement and Royster's
precincts, but it did effect the result
in the county.
The question is now asked :
"Will any Democrat go on the bonds
of men who are directly responsible
for the defeat of the Democratic
party in Granville county?"
Now for business, say our busi
ness men. All right. The political
excitement will soon be over, and
the success of the Democratic party
opens the way for prosperity.
It is now agreed that Halifax

of a figure in the state at large as a
Republican Aid Society, but all the
same it led to Granville having two
