COMMITTEE CANNOT MEET
Says Judge Cooke in Contest Ca,e...Ap-
peal Taken.


Judge Sam Cooke, presiding over a
special term Of court here Tuesday,
overruled writ Of mandamns and
application for contest filed by coun-
sci for J. w. Barbee in the sheriff
contest case.
The proceeding was brought in an
effort to compel the chairman of the
democratic executive committee to
call meeting Of that body and either
throw out the vote for sheriff cast at
Love Station box on the second pri-
mary or correct the vote as certified
to by managers of the box.
The allegations of fraud were not
gone into by the court. 1t was sim
ply question of whether the exeeu-
tive committee had a right to meet
or not. The court ruled that there
was no law whereby the committee
could reassemble.
An appeal was taken TO the supreme
court by counsel fos Barbee.
