c. A. QUARLES
Announces for Reelection to
the Office OF Register of
Deeds.

1t is with pleasure that the News
announces this week that G. A.
Quarles, better known as Ch arley
Quarles, will make the race for re-
election to the Office of Register of
Deeds of Marion County. That he has
made good officer is certain fact,
and all who have had to do business
with him have found him careful in
his work, prompt in every way, and
always courteous. He will make the
race subject to the action of his party,
the republican party, and if he re-
ceives the nomination it will take a
hustling democrat to beat him. His
friends are many, and will support
him to a man.

SENSATION
RESULT OF PRIMARY DE.
CLARED IN DOUBT.
VOTE AT WHlTWELL. 0RME, AND LOCK
AND DAM THROWN 0UT-STATE.
MEkT OF CHATTANOOGA
TINES.

! "A great sensation has been created
in this county among democrats over
the result of the democratic primary
Wednesday of last week. A great
many democrats are disgusted in con-
sequence and all the republicans are
highly tickled over the outcome
Last Thursday it was announced in
the News that Judge McReynolds had
won by a large majority, and that
Judge Allison was also a winner, but
by close margin. The vote stood,
with the exception of the vote of the
Fifth District, which seems to have
evaporated: Allison, IA; Chamlee,
5S1; McReynolds, 882 Stewart, ATT.
Monday the primary committee met
at Jasper, and what they did can be
best learned from the following from
the Chattanooga Times
IN. B. Moore, of Whitwell; A. L.
Robinson. of Jasper. and Fl. M.
Towles, of South Pittsburg, constitute
the primary committee. They met
yesterday to canvass the returns and
declare the results. The entire coun-
ty was gonre over first with footings
of the returns practically as published
in The Times last Thursday. Judge
Allison was found to have a majority
of lab over Chamlee, and Judge Nc
Reynolds majority of 393 over Stew
art.
Judge Allison and Judge McReynold,
were present at the meeting, as was al
80 Walter Cameron, of South Pitts
burg, chairman of the county com
mittee
After the returns were fully can
vassed, a republican named J. w
Morrison, of Whitwell, and Sam Hav
ron, judge of that precinct, fle'
affidavits attacking the legality Of tn
vote at Whitwell as returned. Th
committee. ON the strength of thos
affidavits, threw out the box. It ha
given vote as follows Allison, 40
Chamlee, 90; McReynolds, 1875; Stew
art, 16. This action increased ALI
sons majority SO and Stewards 11C
The other Whitwell box which he
been discarded, was then counted a
valid. This had given McReynolds,
Stewart, So; Allison, 90; Chamlee, Al
Thus Sc votes were added to Stewart
total and 81 to Chamlee's 8.
Sheriff Westn.oreland, a republican
and W. B. Stewart, brother of the Car
didate, then filed affidavits swearin
to irregularities at the Lock and Dan
This box was likewise discarded. Tt
vote there was Allison, II; Chamle,
116; McReynolds, 1854 Stewart. a
The result Of this action was to furtl
er increase Judge Allison's amajorit
by 30 and to decrease Judge Mere
nolds' by 122
At this iuncture Mr. Cameron pr
sented evidence that at Orme, twen
nine more ballots werefound inthe bC

committee was thereby forced to thro
out that precinct Its vote was
follows: Allison, 10; Chamlee,
McReynolds, 2S; Stewart, 81.
This operated to increase Judge
lison's majority by 70 and Mere

nold's by 53.
The aggregate changes thus far IN
creased Judge Allison's majority TO
3t3 and decreased that of Judge Nc
Reynolds to 1853. At this point, the
vote being practically settled, Judge
McReynolds asked The committee to
declare the result. This they declined
to do on various pretexts, principal OF
which was that in some precincts, the
ballots were not returned to the com
mittee and in Others the returns were
not sworn to-
After lunch the matter was taken up
again, the two winning candidate ap-
pearing for the purpose of supplying
their delegate lists. Then it develop
ed that other precincts were to be
thrown out. The committee found 1t
difficult problem, for Judge Mickey
nolds had carried every precinct in the
county but four. To work this out
Messrs. Robertson and Moore decided
an executive session would be neces-
sary. This was opposed by Mr.. Towles
but the secret meeting was held. Late
in the evening it was learned that the
committee had decided to declare the
result of the election in doubt The
committee thereupon proceeded to Sc
lect delegation which was ordered to
go uninstructed.
At Whitwell the trouble was over
two voting places, sixteen being alleg-
ed to have voted at both places. We
do not know the cause for the reject
ion of votes at the Lock q Dam, but
have been informed that votes sold
there for 5000 apiece.

TOWN
RUNS
AWAY
To Escape Payment OF
Bonds, Citizens Move
Buildings and Aban-
don TOWnsite

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
HUTCHINSON, Kan, Feb. 6.
-Escaping payment of $4,000
bonds and $1,000 interest, Ulysses,
capital of Grant county, is today
located a mile and a half outside
of it's own city limits. Only a
frame courthouse and school
building mark the spot where
twenty years ago stood a prosper
Gus village of 1900 inhabitants.
The bonds, which were issued
twenty years ago to build water
works and make other municipal
improvements, are held by an
Eastern national bank. When the
bank commenced legal proceed
ings last October to collect the
bonds, which amounted to more
than the entire assessed valuation
of the town property, the people
OF Ulysses decided to move.
The case was postponed until
the March term of court and the
townsmen busted themselves in re-
moving their houses, stores and
offices outside the corporate lin
its. Today the task was complet-
ed and news of the strange move
given to the world.
No railroads run through Grant
county and nearest telegraph sta
tion is "a miles from Ulysses. 1t
was an easy matter to maintain
the secrecy necessary to prevent
an injunction being issued which
would stop the wholesale movers.
