NEGRO ATTEMPTS
 TO FORGE CHECK

A bold attempt was made yesterday afternoon by w. M. Walker, a negro to forge a check on John Ingram of this city for $50. Walker is alleged Harrell X Go. and purchased an auto matic shotgun, valued at $50, and pre- sented a check drawn on John h. granham" and made payable to w. M. Walker. The check did not look just right to the clerk, who carried to the office to see if he should accept it.. Mir. Harrell telephoned to MT. Ingram and asked him if he had written the check. When told that he had not, MT. Harrell refused to accept it.
 The negro then went to the Faulk- ner County Bank to get the check cashed. In the meantime, MT. Ingram had warned the cashier not to accept the check if it was presented. Just as Walker presented the check to the teller he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff c. o. Payne, who later turned the prisoner over to Constable John Long, Jr.
 Information charging Walker with attempt at forgery was filed before Justice of the Peace Geo. Nj. Easter wood by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney

WORK IS PUSHED
 ON DISPOSAL TANK

While unable on account of the con- dition of the streets to do any trench cutting for the laying of sewer pipes, Contractor Joseph McCoppin has been pushing the work of constructing the septic disposal tank in the south eastern corner of the city. The ex- cavation for this tank is now prac- tically completed and the work of pouring the concrete will be started within a few days. MT. McCoppin states that practically all the manhoIes and flush tanks have been built where the sewers have been laid, and as soon as the tank is completed, which will be within week or two, citizens will be allowed to connect and begin the use of the sewer system at once.

LARGE PRIMARY
 VOTE INDICATED
WEATHER IS FAVORABLE
INTEREST IN ELECTION IN CREASES AND FULL TURN
 OUT IS EXPECTED.

Contrary to the expectations of a few days ago, when it appeared that a l light vote would be cast at today's Democratic county primary, the indi- cations this afternoon are that large. If not record-breakine vote, will be boiled.
 At 3 30 o'clock this afternoon over 600 votes had been received in Cadron township box, the largest number ever before cast up to that hour in the afternoon. Voters were still standinl in line awaiting their turn to enter the polls, and it looked as if the vote in Cadrop township when the polls close at 6:30 n m. would be at least 750 and probably more.
 Reports from 1urai precincts are to the effect that good trnout is general over the county Interest in the primary, which has Jagged up to the past few days, has grown apace as the time for the election approached, and today it seems as great as that shown in any primary in recent years.
 The weather is ideal, being the most favorable for at least six years, rough weather characterizing the preceding two county primaries held in January. The roads have dried out wonderfully in the past week, and this will be an important factor in causing many liv- ing considerable distance from the polls to go out and vote.
 Returns from the country townships will probably begin to reach Conway by o'clock tonight and before mid night, unless some of the races are extremely close, the results should be pretty we'll known.
 Local Manager Sammons states that the rural telephone service is in good shape and there should be no difficulty in securing returns from all parts of the county.
 As a mark of appreciation of the patronage of the various candidates, the Log Cabin Democrat will tonight, at it's own expense, secure all the cleo tion news as quickly as it can be gath cred over the long distance telephone. The office will be kept open as long as necessary to secure full returns and the candidates and their friends are invited to make the Log Cabin Demo- crat office their headquarters. In- quiries from patrons of the paper over the telephone as to the results will be answered as promptly as possible.
