As Tin: Advertiser goes to press ttiis morning the election of T. J. Ducket for sheriff is generally con* ceded. McCravy 1.170: Ducket, 1,584 is tbo intest count. Odell's with about 15 votes is to hoar from and will voto almost solidly for Duckett. Drummond, John Copoland and Fer guson are oleoted respectively super visor, treasurer and eoronor.
