by the anxious inquiries from all over

HOME COUNTY.

Mr.. Padgett's majority in his home
county of Maury and his home pre-
Tcinct of Columbia was splendid ties
timonial of the high esteem in which
he is held by those who know him
best. Maury county he carried by the
magnificent majority of 1918. Colum-
bia gave him majority of 535 at the
court house and SO at the depot, to-
tai of 573. This was as near unani-
nous as the Ninth district ever goes.
No primaries was held at Rock
Springs, Sandyhook and Spring Hill.
At Mt, Pleasant Mr.. Padgett was Civ
en- big majority while at Leftwich
his opponent received only four votes.
The primary was conducted quietly
and orderly, and the result was never
1t any time in doubt. The ealy thing
o be considered was the size of the
majority. Many of the Patterson
eaders supported Mr.. Padgett, and
he privates in the ranks voted for
lin in punches.
The vote follows:

Splendid Fight Made by the indie

Greatly to the surprise OF the Pat.
tersonites the old Ninth district rCll-
ed up an old time Democratic maJori-
ty yesterday. The magnificent fight
made by the Independents yielded the
most flattering results. From what
the Pattersonites had claimed to be
certain majority Of from 100 to 200
the tide turned to a majority for the
Independents in the district of about
$50. The depot box which two years
lago gave Patterson 145 majority gave
his judicial puppets only about forty
to the good. The old court house
box gave the Independents 200 carry

Mr.. Forgey as chairman Of the Inde-

to the work of organization. He had

! Judge e. d. Looney, who directed
the fight in Maury county for the in.
dependent judiciary ticket, proved
himself to be about the only prophet
worthy of attention in the county.
Judge Looney, on the day before the
election, gave out statement Claim
ing the county for the Independents
by 500. It is hardly probable that
there were a dozen members Of Judge
Looney's campaign committee who
believed that the majority would be
anything like as large, although all
were hopeful of the defeat in the
county of the Patterson ticket
On the other hand the Patterson

At the Patterson headquarters at

CONVENTION FOR THE
NOMINATION OF A
LEGISLATIVE TICKET
GENERALLY CONCEDED THAT. AN.
ADMINISTRATION MEMBERS
WILL BE CHOSEN
THE PRIMARY NEXT SEPTEMBER
New County Democratic Committee
May Be Chosen at the Same Time.
viii the Betting PattersonItes Re-
turn to the Party in Old Maury7

1t is generally conceded that the re.
suit of the election in Maury county
on Thursday insures the election OF
anti-administration members from the
county to the Legislature. 1t is hard
~ thought probable that the Patter-
son committee will be able to induce
candidates to accept the empty ICnor
of nomination. The 700 majority
that old Maury gave to free Judicial
ry and as rebuke to Patterson and
Pattersonism is going TO be an OBJ
stacle that will forever prove bar to
the election of members of the Legis-
lature who stand for his infamies.
Now that the judicial election is
over the question of party nomina-
lions for the Legislature is becoming
a live topic. 1t is almost certain that
the Democratic County Committee
will meet early in September and call
a Legislative primary. While the
method of making the nominations /
has received little consideration it is !
the general belief that the old time !
Democratic plan of delegated con-
yention will be adhered to. The con-
vention will probably be held some
time just prior to October l. 1t is as
sured that the candidates, who ever
they may be, will stand squarely
against Patterson and PattersOpism.
They will run on an old fashioned
Democratic platform.
1t is hardly thought likely that the i.
Patterson Committee will be able to
survive Thursdays landslide. There
lever was any just cause of complaint
gainst the regular Democratic Com
nittee in this county, and since the
Members of that committee have been |
ustained. by such an overwhelming
majority no further contest is antic-
oated. The terms of the present
ounty Democratic Committee will
xpire this fall Their successors

er election or at the same time that =

The city is waging an active cam
paign against the person who throws
garbage in the street, and as a result
some arrests are imminent unless the
law is rigidly complied with.
In order to give the citizens the
fullet justice, copies of the city san.
itary ordinance have been ordered
printed and will be generally distrib-
uted- The law specifics that all bus
mess houses and residences in the
fire district desiring the services of
the city garbage wagons must store
their garbage in metal cans. Out OF
the fire district, the use Of wooden
boxes of certain dimensions is pro-
vided.
1t has been found that the reck-
less throwing Of garbage in the streets
has caused the cutters and sewers to
clog, putting the city to much unnec-
essary expense. This is the cause OF
the crusade.

The City Marshal is having painted
