DEFEAT BY $50
TOTAL VOTE IN THE LEoIsLA-
TIVE PRIMARY HAS MORE
THAN $500.

| In the primary last Thursday to
elect delegates to the Legislative con.
vention there were 1874 votes cast,
which is within 400 of the number of
votes that were cast in the general
primary last April for the nomination
of candidates for county offices. In
Thursdays primary the candidates on
the Carmack ticket in the several dis
tricts received an aggregate vote of
1,46S, while the candidates on the Pat
terson tickets received an aggregate
vote of 1,O04, making the majority
against the administration AGO. This
vote does not include the ballots cast
for the delegates in the second and
eighteenth districts where there were
compromises. and but one candidate
made the race. In these districts 102
votes were cast, which added to the
totals for the two tickets makes the
aggregate 2,574. But for the two COM
promises mentioned 1t is believed
that the majority would have been at
least 500 in the county.

sued a call for a Senatorial conven-
ton of this district to be held at
Hohenwald on Sept %. The mem

so far as the order would apply to
Maury county violates party proceed

FOR ASSAULT
Colored Man Causes Arrest
of G. R. Hendricks, Pro
prietor of Auto Cafe.

c. R. Hendrix, the proprietor OF
the Automobile Cafe, located in Sc Hob
man street, was arrested this morntne Q
on the complaint of William Williams
his colored cook, who alleges that
Hendrix assaulted him.
The story the negro tells is that
an order of corn, which he had sent
out of the kitchen. did not suit Hem
Dirk, and that he accordingly called
him down for it.
He says that he then tried to ex-
plain to Mrs. Hendrix and she called
her husband and told him that he was
giving her back talk" The result
was that the negro was sent flying out
out of the place and his clother were
thrown after him.
Hendrix tells another story. He save
that the negro was drunk on whisky
which he had stolen from his buffet
and that he was abusive to his wifeI
Hendrix did not propose to stand for
that and so he took the colored man bv
the coat collar, just as any other per
son would do a negro who was swear
Ing around the house and threw him
out. The case will come up in the
city court tomorrow morning.
