UNDERWOOD NOMINATED.
Primary Was Held Along With Genera
 Election

Tn the excitement of the election, and later on when the returns began coming in, the fact that there was democratic pri- mary being carried on was partially lost sight of.
 This primary, as announced in The Age Herald, was to select representative of this, the Ninth congressional district of Alabama. Oscar w. Underwood was the only candidate running, consequently there was no excitement over the voting.
 But the congressional executive commit tee had chosen a wise plan in having a manager and box near by where the vot- ing boxes of the general election were sit uated, and as each democrat approached the polls he was requested to cast ballot for MT. Underwood. This they all did with pleasure, as there is hardly more popular

MONTGOMERY ACCOMMODATION
To be Put Back on Its Former Schedule,
 Arriving Here at 7:3o.

Accommodation train No. 10, which runs from Montgomery to Birmingham over the Louisville and Nashville railroad every af- ternoon, will on next Monday be put on its old schedule time, leaving Montgomery at o'clock in the afternoon and arriving here at 7:30 o'clock.
 About month ago at the request of a number of those living along the road, the schedule was changed, making the de- parture from Montgomery at D. m. and the arrival in Birmingham at S:3o, and on this schedule the train is now running. But it seems that the change proved ob- jectionable to a majority of the trains patrons. and the old schedule will be re- stunned next Monday.

OFFICIAL COUNT SATURDAY.
Returns So Far Give Johnston S,772
 Majority.
STILES GETS 3,338 VOTES
Only One Beat, Morris, Went Against Democrats-Judge Porter, Sheriff O'Brien and Clerk Mccarthy
 Make Official Count

The victory was so great that it took away ali the fun of shouting. The only political item that was of the least local importance yesterday was how large the democratic majority in Jefferson county would be-
 The returning officers of the various yot- ing places began to bring the boxes in early in the morning and with them came the news from the county beats. All but four boxes were brought in and are now at the sheriffs office.
 A Pc; uiist Beat
 Of the beats heard from only one went gave Deans il votes, Johnston 24 and Warner 3. The vote for county officers was as follows:
 Carmichael 20, Chisolm 29, Coleman 90, Smith Jr., 27, Brake 29, Brown 3, Bryan ?, Burkhalter r, Cobb 45, Davidson 23, Engel 3, Enslen 40 Gibson 16, Houston 19 Huey 2S, A. B. Jones 23, D. T. Jones 2, Lanier l. Mcqueen 16, Parsons B, Spencer 37, Will liamson ?, Henry 95, Stiles 34, Wilkerson 54, Senn so McAdory S7, Williams 24.
 After the returning officer would report "my beat went democratic by big ma jority,' very few took the trouble to find out what the exact vote for all of the state and county candidates was. Indeed many of the returning officers did not know the returns of their beats accu- rately.
 The boxes will be held in the sheriff S office until Saturday when Judge of Pro- bate Porter, Sheriff O'Brien and Clerk of the Circuit Court Mccarthy will make the official count.

Thoug ght Bryan Was White

But the best story of the whole election comes from Smiths Mills. When the re- turns for that box were brought into the city, everybody was amazed to see that w. H. Bryan, the negro candidate for rep resentative had received eleven votes, though there was not a negro to vote at the Smiths Mill box.
 When the returning officer learned that Bryan was a negro, perhaps he wasn't "guyed." He said that the democrats up in his beat all thought "W. H. Bryan" was William Bryan whom they knew and of whom they were very fond.

Jahnston's Majority 3,772

In these boxes it will be noticed that Johnston has a majority of 3,772 and Stiles a majority of 3,33S votes Johnston's and Deans votes may be taken as an average for the state ticket. and Stiles and Henry's for the county ticket.
 It will be noticed that two of these boxes, Mary Lee and Pump House>went for Deans as against Johnston, but as they happen to be only subdivisions of beats the other box saved the beat from defeat. A curious part of the returns from Pump House is that the democrats on the state ticket lost, while the county ticket won
