COMING SUPPLEMENTAL REGIS
TRATIoN IS EXPECTED TO
BE LIGHT.
NO RUSH TO PAY POLL TAXES
Vote OF The County In August viii
Probably be One Of The Lluhtest
Known In Years-Real Battle Will
Come In November.

Supplemental registration in Maury
county will begin on Saturday, two
weeks from today. 1t will continue
through the following Tuesday. There
are thousands of voters who are not
registered in the county, there being
a full registration only in the Ninth
and Fifth districts, where special cleo
tons last year brought out the full
complement of voters.
After the registration is over it is
expected that interest in the election,
now at the very lowest ebb. will be
revived. The candidates for tax as
SCISSOR are making a vigorous cam
paign, but so far they have stirred up
but little interest. Opinion is general
that the whole field will run through
to the election, although this would
be unusual in Maury county, for al
most always where there are a num-
Der of candidates there are withdraw
ais before the election.
The date for payment of poll taxes
will expire on July, 4th, but it is prob
able that very few will qualify by that
time. Indications are that the vote in
August will be exceptionally light.
There will probably be few district
contests and the race for congress
may help to bring out the vote, but
Maury countians will not go to the
polls in force until next November,
when they will elect a president and
a governor.
Registrars will call for their books
and other paraphernalia on first Mon
day at the Court House. Sykes Orman
will be in charge of the books and
will distribute them.

late Saturday afternoon.
"Maury county is indeed fortunate"
continued Mr.. Looney, "in having such
splendid officials as Gen. Frierson and
Sheriff Griffin. We found them while
engaged in our work as inQuisitors for
the county, to be ready and anxious at
all times to do anything that they pos
sibly could for the execution Of the
law.
Gen. Frierson and Sheriff Griffin

their obligations to the state and so.

ever either one of them can do for the
better enforcement of the law they
do. They are a credit to the best cit.

they hold their respective offices the
people can rest assured that there
will never be any sort Of partnership
between officials and crime in this
section.
"The members of the grand jury
were also impressed with the splendid
assistants Of the sheriff. They are just
as earnest and active as they can be.
Our officer Constable Kelley Farris,
rendered us valuable aid. Judge Tur.

ltimes and helped us whenever he
could. We feel that this public ex.

dents of the Maury County Hog Chol-
era Eradication society on Saturday
afternoon, resolutions were unani-
mously adopted commencing DR..
OConnor and his associates for the
splendid work that they have done for
the farmers of Maury county for the
eradication of hog cholera during the
past two years.

An aggregate Of seventy-three IN.

Is somewhat above the average. Not
that many persons we're indicted, for
in number of Gases for house-break-

than one indictment was returned
against the same individual.
At the final return there we're fifty

ed for selling liquor in more than one
case.
The grand jury did splendid work
and was highly complimented by the
attorney general and Judge Turner.
The latter, in discharging the jury,
thanked the members. Material as

bootlegging cases, came from the re-

indicted by the federal court were
