On Tuesday March 28th the
County Seat Contest between Hayti
and Castlewood was opened at Castle
wood before j. L. Law, says the
Bryant News. On Tuesday the entire
day was taken up with preliminaries,
and getting matters sha ped up for
the hearing of the testimony. On
Wednesday County Auditor, L. S.
Brown was on the witness stand the
the entire day, aud his testimony
proved c~onclusiyely that the ballot
boxes are entirely worthless 10 either
of the contestants for the reason that
they have been out of his custody
nearly all of the time since election
day, Nov. 7th. There has been 260
Witnesses subpoenaed on the ease
which shows that very determined
efforts are being made on both sides,
If all of these witnesses could be
heard at the rate of five per day, this
alone would take 81 court days. The
case has not gotten under way yet,
and the people of Hamlin county will
get some very interesting information
on the methods employed to keep
the county seat at Castlewood, before
the case is closed.
