SOME HOT CONTESTS.
There Were Warm Elections in
Some Neighboring Counties
Last Wednesday.

Terrell county's election Wednes
day was very tame affair, but sucf
was not the case in some of the neigh

on record IN the county.
In Webster C. c. Tracy, the demo-
cratic nominee for the legislature, was
elected over Col j. Z. Walker, who
ran independent, by 50 majority.
In Stewart, however, the regular
democratic nominee did not fare SO
well, G. Y. Harrell being defeated for
the legislature by j. D. Crumbley, in
dependent, by majority of 297.
In Lee county Sid Smith, democratic
nominee for sheriff, won over j. NJ
Wilkinson, republican, by good ma

TOM BROWNS SPREE.
Negro Deaf Mute Created Some
Excitement Saturday Night.

Tom Brown, deaf and dumb negro
from the country, caused an exciting
time for a while Saturday night on
east Fourth avenue.
Tom got drunk and then sleepy, so
he lay him down in gentle repose on
the front porch of Mr.. John Seay 5
residence. He was discovered there
by the ladies of the house, who tele-
phoned the facts to Mr.. Seay at his
place of business.
Mr.. Seay Immediately left for his
home, but the negro had already been
attended to by neighborlng gentlemen
and when Mr.. Seay arrived the culprit
was already slightly the worse for
wear.
Brown was brought to town and IN
carcerated, but was later released, 1t
appearing that he was deaf and dumb
and meant no harm. The negro will
probably be careful where he slumbers
in the future, however.
