HERALD OFFICE !
MECCA FOR news
COMPLETE VOTE OF THE couN.'
NJ TyWAsaREcElvEDfAND TAB -T
uLATED BEFORE MIDNIGHT. I,

Considering the length Of the ballot
and the size of the vote, the returns
from the county election Tuesday
came in with surprising rapidity. At
1O:45 o'clock Mt. Pleasant reported
and the county was complete with the
exception of the court house box
which came in an hour later.
The first precinct to report was
Leftwich, which came in at 1880
O'clock. Enterprise was in sortly aft
err that hour, and the returns were CIV
en- The Herald as soon as the count
had been completed. AS usual The
Herald Office was the mecca for seek
ers after the news. The four tele.
phones were ringing almost continu-
ously from o'clock until an early
hour this morning by eager seekers
after the news from all parts of the
county.
The returns from over the state
began to come in at 6 o'clock and from
the first they were d.scouraging to the
democrats. Bedford's majority of 300
for Taylor, followed by the immense
slump in Giles, Rutherford, Robertson,
Sumner and other stronghoids OF de-
mocracy in Middle Tennessee soon
made it evident that the result for
governor would be exceedingly doubt,
full A fash from the Banner shortly
after s o'clock announced that Ten
nessee looks close for governor made
the democrats blue.
Giles county, where in an ordina-
ry Presidential year the democrats
get 1900 majority. reported less than
500 with the defeat of the democratic
nominees for the senate and house.
The democratic nominee in Bedford
was reported beaten and the neighbor-
ing county of Hickman in with $50 ma
jority for Taylor which left the demo
Gratis with little hope.
The early returns from the nation
were equally as discouraging to the
democrats.

fesses that 1t was disappointed In the
campaign that Col. Taylor made but it
wishes for him the greatest possible

CARRIERS CREEK
BRIDGE FALLS IN

ROAD STATION GOES DOWN UN-
DER TWELVE STEERS.
WRECK IS ALMOST COMPLETE
Was One of the Old Style Steel Grid
err Structures SO Popular to Build a
Few Years Ago--BadIy Needed in
Wet Weather.

With dozen head of steers on it
the steel span bridge over Carter's
creek at Carters Creek station, went
through to the water this morning.
The entire stducture went down. CIV
ing away in the middle. The Orders
seemed to cove down completely and
the bridge is now quite a wreck.
The weight Of the cattle did not
send the bridge down for in the ag-
gregate they would not have weighed
as much as five tons or 10000 pounds.
However, it was fortunate that the
bridge went down without any more
damage for no one was hurt and all
the cattle escaped practically without
any serious injuries.
This was steel span bridge, the
kind that was SO popular some twelve
or fifteen years ago. II, was built
about twelve years ago. 1t was one of
the most frequently used structures
OF the kind in the county sustaining
heavy traffic all during the day.
While during low water the creek
at the point where the bridge gave
away can be easily forded the slight
est rise of the creek makes the bridge
an absolute necessity and the travel
in that section of the county is going
to be greatly Inconvenience when
wet weather does begin.
1t is unfortunate that the county did
not adopt the policy of building only
concrete bridges, policy that has
been consistently followed now for
about six years by the county road
commission Not only does expert
ence show that the cost of mainte-
nance is practically done away with
when concrete is used in bridge build
ing, but they are much safer and more
lasting. - ...

THE STATE RESULT.

Tennessee was engulfed in the ma.
tionwide, all pervading landslide tina,
marked Tuesdays election. That
largely explains the defeat of Roberts
and the narrow margin by which Cox
will probably carry the state. But 10.
cal issues played part. The Roberts
assessment law was unpopular in the
rural sections. Despite all the stats
tics and fine spun theories put forth
by the equalization board and the
governor this assessment law shifted
large portion of the tax burden from
personal and corporate property to
the farms of the state and 1t was re.
sented by the farmers, already facing
a critical situation due to steadily d.
minishing values on all of their pro-
duets. Thousands Of democrats In the
rural sections and some In the cities
voted against Roberts because of the
tax law. VII
The Roberts administration has
made many errors and mistakes all
Of which The Herald has heretofore
pointed out. 1t tried repeatedly to
warn the governor against the rocks
upon which he was permitting his as
sociates, to, drift his politincal craft.
His party oEanization in the state and
in many of the counties was weak and
conducted too much as a close cor
poration, There was a disposition on
the part OF many OF those who pre-
tended to speak for him to court de-
feat rather than achieve victory ii
the honors therefor were to be divid-
ed with those not within the charm
ed circle. Unquestionably all of this
made against the governor. But the
great tidal wave of republicanism
that swept normally democratic
strongholds from their ancient moor
ings was, after all, the chief factor in
the defeat of the governor

Portion of Highway
] Opened to Travel

The portion of the highway from
Minden to Carson that has been under
construction since early last fall be-
tween the Springmeyer corner and the
Cardinal place. will be opened to the
public travel today The road has
been grayeled and rolled and is in q
splendid condition. In constructing
the road, contractors Kibee and
Norris have used the same filling
that would be necessary for a cement
road and this will save the extra ex-
pense when the oportune time arrives
for a cement highway between Carson
and the valley towns.
The new stretch of road from the
corner to the Cradelbaugh bridge will
not be completed for some time owing
to the seepage water being so near
the surface, that the graveling could
not be continued. However, as soon
as the water recedes, the work will be
rushed to completion, and will be in
readiness for travel this fall.
