Two Interesting features marked the
results OF the recent election OF county
omccre In Nelson county One was tho
defeat OF two mon who had been in
once Tor thirty years. and tho other
the capturing of majority OF the
honors by what is known as the anti
organization faction of tho party.
Sheriff NJ K. Estes. who has held Of
lice for tnirty-four years. was de-
feated by william Il Wheeler. a ,ner-
chant who had never before sought
political prefermept The other "oId
war horse" who met defeat was L. S.
FarraF' commissioner OF the revenue
In the Lovingston District. Mr. Far
rhr has been in one public once or an
other since back IN the seventies, and
his undoing caused something Of q
surprise In political circles. In tho
state primary in September tho anti
machine" forces lost the county BY
heavy rnniorities. and yet tho fickle-
ness OF public sentiment reversed that
verdict and gave them three-hfths OF
all the contested officers at tho 70.
cant election.
The Democrats OF Nelson made no
nominations for county or district
oficers. so tho night Just ended wa.
between men. rather than political
parties.

Harris is strong advocate OF con-
solidation. and has pressed this fea-

The result Is that many of the small.
