an ointment for them which helped me

tas, this county, on December 10. 1907.
in which the drys won by ten majority.
was to-day declared null and void by
Judge w. J. Henson. OF the Tazewell
Circuit Court.
Tho election was held within two
days Of the special congressional slec-

cessor to Campbell Slemp. The cleo
various grounds. the ground chiefly
relied on being that the election was
held In violation OF section $50 OF the
Code, which provides that no local OPP
ton election shall be held within
thirty days OF any county, corporation.
State or national election. All OF the
grounds relied on by the contestants
were decided against them except the

The courts construction OF section

that its object Is to prevent 'log roll
