Of the Independent ticket, lead Bal

Jority Of 731 while Shields. Tough
harder than any other by the Patter
sonites, carried the county owe
Cooke, his opponent, by 54s.. The ma

peaIs on the Independent ticket carr,
the county by about the same MAORI
ties.
This Is the complete vote Of the
county, much of 1t taken from the Of
fetal returns, the remainder coming
from thoroughly reliable and trust
worthy sources. The count at the
Court House box was not finished un-
til " o'clock today. It gave the In.
dependents about two to one majority.
The Ninth district gave the IndePend-
ents an average majority Of over 100.
while the totals show only about
5000 votes In the county the poll
books show that at least 1000 were
polIed. There were many blank cnes,
others were Improperly marked and
on othcFs no vote cast for the iudici-
airy ticket at all.
A regular landslide for the Inde-
pendents That describes the election
result in old Maury. This county re-
pudiated Patterson, Pattersonism and
assassination by the handsome major
ity of 600. Only seven precincts Of
the twenty-eight in the county gave
the Patterson ticket q majority. The
second was the only district of the
ten in the county that gave Patter-
sons ticket majority and it won in
that district by the narrowest scratch.
The splendid majority for free Ju-
dietary was a surprise even to many
of the supporters of that ticket, who
although hoping for good majority
had never anticipated veritable I
landslide. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Patterson ticket had the Re-
publican organization and that the
county candidates had created them
selves sort of aid society for that
ticket they were swept off the map.
The negro vote failed to material
lie in Maury county and much Of it
that did go to the polls could not mas
ter the Dortch ballot. It was a negli-
gible quantity and it is safe to say
hat it will be many long day before
.he Patterson local lights place their
reliance in the negro in this county.
