NO CONTEST FOR
OFFICERS OF THIS
/. COUNTY AUGUST
PRACTICALLY CERTAIN THAT IN
CUMBENTS WILL BE ACCORD
ED A SECOND TERM.
COMMITTEE WILL MEET SOON
Chairman Looney Thinks That II viii
Convene on First Monday in May
to Arrange for Delegation to State
Convention.

That there will be no contest for
county offices In Mapry. county In. the,
August election is becoming more and
more APPARENT every day. In fact it
appears now to be generally accepted
that no primary will be called and
that in SO far as the election of coun-
ty officers is concerned the election
in Maury county will be a mere for,
mality. 4 4
The offices to be filled in the coun-
ty this year are county judge for the
unexpired term, trustee and sheriff
for two year terms and assessor for
four year term. Although no formal
announcement has ben made by them
it is generally understood that Judge
Whitthorne, Trustee Burns and Sher-
if Houser are candidates for re-elec-
ton. Assessor Williams is an avow-
ed candidate for second term.
Judge Looney, chairman of the
county democratic committee, stated
that he thought that the committee
would be called together on the first
Monday of next month. 1t will meet
to make arrangements for selecting
the democratic delegation from Mal.
ny county to the state convention. So
far as can be aScertained there is no
sentiment for primary.
In addition to the county Offices to
be filled in August there are eleven
constablcs; five members of the coun-
ty board of education and thirty mem
bers of district advisory boards to be
chosen.

BuenOS Aires, S. A.-Based on the
domestic price at which Frederick
J. Simpson, United States ambassa-
dor to Argentina, obtained $4,000 tons
of sugar for the account of the Unit
ed States, plus the transportation
cost, it is estimated the sugar will be
landed in New York at Is cents a
pound. 1t probably will require five
ships to transport the sugar. Presi-
dent Irigoyen's action in waving the
expectation restriction on the solicit
tation of Ambassador Stimson is con-
sidered here to have been decided up
on as a special favor to the United
States. In addition to the sugar OBJ
tanned for the United States govern
ment, it is learned that private inter
ests have contracted for total of
$4,000 tons for expectation to the
United States.
