No Election
For Road Bonds
Time Limit for Publishing Call
Expires Without Action.

Again the road bond election
has been allowed to 60 by default.
The law requires that the call
for any special election shall be
published at least ten days before
the date for the election, and the
road bond election was called for
Dec. l6. and the time within which
publication could have been made
having passed. it is evident that
the movement has been abandoned
ny those having it in charge. The
fact that the election was 70 have
been held under the new law which
has not been published as yet,
made it virtually impossible to
hold it at the date set and would
have raised a question of the va
lidity of the bonds issued under il.
1t is therefore we'll perhaps that
the proposition will be allowed to
rest at this time.

Springer Wins
Race for P. M.
Lively but Friendly Contest
FOnght Out on Saturday.
Big Vote POlIed

The balloting Ia the primary
for Postmaster on Saturday last,
resulted in a victory for J. Z.
Springer by the narrow margin
of 4 votes over J. +. Hobbs his
nearest competitor The vote
was as follows. Springer l42,
Hobbs 1873, Busby l0S, Wisdom
80. The race was quite warmly
fought out although perfect
friendliness among the candidates
and their friends prevailed, and
the losers are now giving their
most cordial support to the win
ner. A large vote was polled,
many who had signed petition
of candidate who was not in
the primary having voted therein.
It is considered that Mr. Spring
er is practically sure of securing
the appointment, although W c
Parkes whose letter appeared in
this paper last week will make a
hard fight for the place accord
to the statement of his friends.
Congressman Padgett has said
poitively that he will use his best
efforts to have the winner ap-
pointed, and both Senators Lea
and Shields it is claimed have
recognized the primary and will
abide by its resltus.
This paper as announced ear
lier, took no part in the fight be.
tween the four splendid men seek
ing public favor, but now that
the election is over, our hearty
support will be given Mr.. Sprin
ger, and every effort and influ'
ence that we are able to exert
will be directed toward securing
for him the place the right to
which he fairly won and so
we'll deserves The term of the
present Postmaster will expire in
February next, but it is probable
that the appointment will be
made before that time.

ate Combination Of Circum.
stances

viii a. Rippey was arrested in
Nashville last week charged with
an attempt 10 rob telephone box
of the few nickels It might contain.
II seems that this sort of petty
pilfeIing had been going on until
a system of burglar alarms had
been installed in the pay boothes.
Rippey went into a bOothe to tele.
phone and explains that he had
knocked the box to make the
nickel go down, it having hung,
which caused the alarm to go of.
as he left the bOothe he was ar
rested on the charge of having
tried to rob the box. The money
was found undisturbed, however,
but having a key in his posses
sion, he having been formerly in
the employ of the company he was
bound over to the federal grand
jury. The bond was promptly
made. His many friends here
feel sure that it is only an unfOr-
tunate combination of circum-
stances that has thrown suspicion
upon him, and are confident that
his innocence of any wrOng-dOine
will be completely established.
