MACGIBBON PLANS
TALLY BOOKS; ARE
AN IMPROVEMENT

The new tally books to be used in
this county in the election Tuesday
are expected to facilitate the vote
counting.
The plan was drawn by James Mac
gibbon, circuit clerk, and was sub
mitted to the state for general adop-
ton, but the contract had already
been awarded and it was too late to
use the plan except in this county.
The name order on the ballots has
been followed, which will mean a
great saving in time. The state book
contains SO pages Unfortunately
arranged, while the Escambia coun' Y
books contain only ten pages ar
ranged in the proper order.
