According to Mr.. Willis B. Burdette.
chairman of the republican county commit
tee for this county, the republicans made
net gain of about one hundred in the regis
tration IN this county. This estimate Is
based upon figures furnished by both off,
GERS of registration in each district of the
county and is said to be conservative Both
parties were active in looking after the
registration, but Chairman Burdette made
a special effort in this direction and he and
his heutenants were probably more careful
than the democratic workers.
