The County Contests.

The County Contests.
 The race for County Superintendent of Education also attracted attention. Both Messrs. Covington and Thompson had interested friends at the polls looking out for them | Tho three candidates for County Treas 'urer, Messrs. McGehee, Crenshaw and Cochran were represented at each of the polling places. From the cards he re- ceived each voter was bound to know who were the candidates for Treasurer The race for Coroner between Messrs Tice and Leak attracted no general at- tention. The candidates had no special workers detailed at each of the polling places, but there were several of these workers for each candidate who went from beat to beat
 The wind-up of the congressional race between Messrs. Graves and Wiley was quiet with the stiffness that has charac- terized it from the outset The only in- cident of the day bearing upon it was the distribution of circulars by MT. Graves containing telegrams from citi- gems of McGehee's switch denying a statement published by Colonel Wiiey's 8 managers that he (Mr., Graves) had made a speech to negroes advising them to vote against the new constitution. Mir. Graves was about the polls during the entire day. Both the candidates were. however, well represented by interested friends. The selection of a delegation of nIne- teen from Montgomery County to the State convention was quietly made. There was no opposition of any sort to the delegation agreed upon and headed by the name of w! F. vandiver.
 Montgomery was loyal to all it's own ran nd vote was boiled for Judges A. D. Sayre, John R. Tyson and w. S. Thorington for Associate Justices of the Supreme Court and the voters were no less loyal to Hon. T. Scott Sayre in his race for Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit.
