Jeferson, N. c., August 18th, 1910.
Sir: There is some uncertainty as to the correct
result of the election for Commoner from this
county At the foot, give statement Of the poll,
according to the official returns legally made.
The controversy is about the result of separate
election at place, (Elk Cross Roads,) where it
appears that the Opposition party, being dissatsf
ed with the vote polled for Mr.. NYE on the count
ing out of the votes, perhaps some half hour af
forwards, onnuLLed the first election and held ano-
ther-the Deputy Sheriff acting the occasion,
refused to hold second electon-but-the Inspect
ors appointed another man, who did so. The Dep
uty Sheriff returned the result of the first, and the
Inspectors the second. Neither of the numbers of
votes agreed with the clerks lists. The Sheriff
would not receive either return from the above nam
ed place, but states that he will certify the facts
just they TO the proper authority and let the
contest be decided by the General Assembly Ia
king the vote at Elk Cross Roads, MCMILLAN would
have small majority. The following poll is ex-
