l Jefferson county was ready for Ithe democratic primary last night.
 The polls will be open at 8 e. lclock and will close at 6:30.
 In order to facilitate the compil. aton of the returns Jefferson vo- ters last night were being urged to:
 Vote early.
 Present poll tax receipts at the boiling places.
 Be certain to sign the ballot.
 At eacch polling place there will
 be list of qualified voters, but it lit possible that many voters are not on this list and it is important that the voters should take the poll tax ) receipt with them. 1 Under the Brundidge law, it is pro- vided that the tax receipt be pre- scented. However, in primaries since the passage of the law it has been Hound that this created a great deal of confusion and the list of qualified voters provides the clerks and judges with list of those entitled to vote. The vote tax, however, should be presented.
 Polling places in the city are as follows: First ward-Willard Battery, Sec ond and State.
 Second ward-Alexander Bros store, Fourth and Pine.
 Third ward-Moore's garage in f r1 |ond, facing Beech. Fourth ward-Taggert cotton of lfice, BOT West BaBrraqte.
 Vaugine township-Toney's stable, I202 East Barraque. There will be little more than 400 IJefferson county women who will least their ballots, paid up poll taxes show. This is a considerable de- ccrease over the 1918 primary when something like 1900 voted. This |year the women have neglected to Ipay their poll taxes and therefore are ineligible.
 Local interest centers in the race flor county treasurer, the race for Representative and that of constable of Vaugine township. In each of lthese three races there is a contest. lCalvin H. Burk and Will Powell are the candidates for treasurer. Ben lBrannon and John King are seeking lthe office of constable and there Iare five candidates for the three lplaces in the lower house. These are Thomas A. Hill, Charles Rienberger, Is. A. Miller, Cal Newton and c. F. ISimons. For the three justices of the peace to be named for Vauglne Township there are seven candidates, lJ. s. Wiley, c. A. Hing, Allen Or, Ito, T. J. Collier, F M. Henry, ". C. Hudson and Creed Taylor. Tn the state contests it was declar- ed last night that Jefferson is "any- Ibody's county" as far as the gub- lernatorial race in concerned. Floyd, IMcRae, Powell and Terral, however, lwere being backed as winners in Ithis county last night. The same | |situation, more or less, prevails with Irepard to the other state races.
