The Folia Opened Promptly at 0 O'clock and Voter Begin -General Notes of the Election. The court-house last night was full of voters principally colored, call. 1 together to hear speeches of the cam paign orators Many speeches were made ; some in favor of one candi date and some for another. General Boyd was the first speaker, and it seemed that he was riding the Sheriffs horse. lie declared him self in favor of Win. Hollow for sheriff. lie was followed by Itev. Smith who spoke in favor of C. W. Staton. These speeches were fol lowed closely by others, and were kept up until about midnight. This morning the rain seemed to throw a damper over the crowd, but the candidates were busy getting their tickets ready. These tickets are a study. There will be something over 4,000 votes cast in the election to-day. For this vote 125,000 tickets have been printed at this office, and it is safe to say that 75,000 have been been turned out of the other offices in the city, making 200,000 tickets for 5,000 voles. This seems an incredible number, but when it is understood that there are from 48 to 00 combina lions for each candidate in the field and that the combinations have to be distributed at 24 voting precincts, the number is not unreasonable. The polls were opened promptly this morning at !) o'clock und the votes began coining in atonce. The court-house seemed to catch most of the crowd from the fact that it, offered shelter from the rain. At tins voting place the judges are as follows: Hardin Wickham, Jus llamlett and W. D. Meriwether The clerks are Clay Stacker and B Fuqua, The m irket-Iiouse has the follow ing judges : Daniel Overton, T. H Jackson and J. 11. Pettus. Tin clerks are V. H. Turner and Wayne Turner. The indications are that in this dis trict a lull vote will be cast, but in the country, owing to the rain, the vote will fall below an average. It has been remarked on all sides that the election is as quiet one as was ever held in the city. Not disturbance of any kin 1 has been noted at either voting place. The closest fight for voles is being mndi in the Sheriff's election, and the re suit at the time of going to press i doubtful. When a recess wiui taken at I o'clock, for dinner, 1117 votes had been cast nt the market-house and 170 ut the court-house, making a total of 207 votes. It is not believed that a full vot( will be polled to-day. There has been no excitement in the election no party question up. The liveliest interest, however, seems to be in tin sheriff's election between llollowand Staton and between Fount Daniel and Dr. Shelby for Circuit court clerk. Western Kentucky Tobacco. Clms. Y. Wilson, commissioner of Agriculture for the State; of Ken lucky in Ins monthly crop report, has the following to say of tobacco in Western Kentucky: "Western Kentucky is suffering most from the drouth, except a few Ohio river coun ties, including Daveiss and Hender son, hut the rain was not sufficient to restore the desired vigor. Occasion al showers here ami there have fall en, hut the tobacco is very seriously damaged in all drouth sections, and many report to in per cent, as comparative condition. Worms arc- said to 1m prevailing in larue num bers. The amount of tobai e-i raised and Ihcquality will depend on thesea- on from now on, but it will require agooosiason mum a very laie open - i . . fall to ihMiie 75 iter cent, of the '80 crop. Wih unfavorable conditions our corrcs honoeiiis an indicate a much less yield than 75 per cent, The present average condition in the State U (50 per cent, of last year." The same condition will apply to Tennessee, and it is even worse in Missouri, Illinois and other sections growing d irk low grades. The indi cations are that the crop will be hut very little better than the 1ST I yield. The Iron Furnace. People are constantly inquiring about the Gracey W'nodard furnaee when will fhe work commence. The final location for t lie furnace swith was made yesterday. V. J. Ely and the parties concerned all agreeing tion (he line ami right of way, and the grading and track lay ing will eommene as soon as hands and teams can be had. The com pany has not yet been able to engage (he brick needed for the furnace building, and may have to burn a kiln on the place. It will require 1,0(10,(100 in the stack and other parts of the building. It will make busi ness quite lively around here when this work gets under headway. A large crowd at tended the dance given at the residence' of Nicholas Iloach last evening, complimentary to Mis Ella D. Sullivan, of C-minty Kerry, Ireland. A most enjoyable , evening was sjieut. i Officer Uohinsnn arrested three ne gnws on Slrawlicrry alley la-t even I ing for lighting. A Bad Place. The Greenwood Railway Co. has the street torn up at the Junction near the bridge for the purpose of making connection with the Madi son street line. It ha3 been in this condition some five or six days, and is not only a hindrance and incon venience to public travel, but is in many respects dangerous. The con nection should be made at once or the excavation filled up. Such a thing at such a place to cause a block ado where teams and vehicles are constantly meeting and passing and horses being frightened by passing trains, should not be allowable. No attention is paid to the city ordinance requiring a light to be hung every night at every obstruction of the streets, which is another violation of the law that should not be permitted. Whose duty is it, the street commit tee's, the police, or the city mar shal's, to look after such matters? Clarksvilla Planing- Hills. The card of Fred L. Smith A Sons will le found in the Leaf Chron icle soliciting contracts and trade for building material. The house is reliable in every sense and prompt and reasonable in prices, having given such general satisfaction as to enable them to build up a very large business. The Planing Mill is located on Franklin street opposite the big lond. Their large establishment, and sheds are crowded full of doors, blinds, sash, etc., of many styles to please any taste, while their yards are crowded with rough lumber of every kind. Mr. Fred Smith is a good builder and business man of long experience and has two sons, Tandy and Ed, who are both efficient in the business and are hustlers. They invite those wanting work or ma terial to give them a chance. Let us Have a Grand, Old-Fashion, Dem ocratic Rally. We suggest to the Democrats gen, erally that we have a grand, old- fashioned Democratic barbecue and nlly near the city and invite the nominee's, Mr. Buchanan and Hon. Ed. Baxter, to address the meeting and start the Democratic camp fires. Vve suggest that the now executive committee take this matter in hand alter the county convention is over and appoint a committee in every district in the county to solicit car casses for the barbecue and other nee essaries for the feast. There is noth ing like getting together and having a general jubilee and shake up. An Important Matter.

Gobbled by an English Byndloate of Lon don. The Cumberland Iron Works near Dover have been sold. There is no mistake about it. The property has been gobbled by English gold. The Cumberland Company, limit ed, of London, England, has pur chased the Cumberland Iron Co.'s interest in Stewart county. The price paid for the property was 130,000 pounds English money, equivalent to nearly 550,000. The deed has been recorded at Dover, and the transfer of property made. The Cumberland Iron Works prop erty was owned by a Block company, principally composed of Nash ville gentlemen, though several parties in Stewart county held stock in the company, prominent among whom is Dr. Steger, well known in this city. This transfer is significant, as it is supposed that the English company will develop Stewart county's hidden resourses. The Road Question. It is high time that Montgomery county was taking some action ap pointing special delegates who will attend the Itoad Congress at Nash ville Aug. 20. As the matter stands, Montgomery county will have no representation in that very import ant meeting. Is it impossible to arouse our people on this questiosl ? No county in the State is more in terested or needs a good road system more than Montgomery, and yet no interest is being taken in the matter. What is everybody's business, seems to be nobody's business and there fore no action has been taken. W would suggest that the county convention when through with its regular business Monday, take some action in this matter, either elect delegates or call a special meeting for that purpose. J. C. Mattill displayed his patriot ism and his politics by hanging out his Hancock and English flag to day. Joe is loyal to the old demo cratic nominees, nnd for ten years has on every important occasion dis played his Hancock and English flag. Second Street Barber Shop.

(Van) Lowe throws a different ph ise over the affair. The: Apoeal's spiral states that Dr. Swift had been to a brandance and came to Tiptonville iate in the evening drunk and raised a row with Lowe over an account of 19.00. The account was for medical treatment, and Lowe claimed thai: it was an overcharge, but proposed to pay the bill to keep down a fusi. Swift became furious and struck Jiowe three times and fol lowed him tip and abused him. Lowe walked into his office and got a pis tol. Swilt vent to the office and fur ther abused Lowe, when the latter fired on him twice, shooting him both times in the head and killing him almost instantly. Lowe gave himself up to the sheriff and gave a bond of $5,000 for bis appearance at court. Clarksvllle Tobacco Market.
