A. A, TAYLOR AND
A, H, ROBERTS WIN
Taylor Seems to Win Over LittIeton by
$4,000 While Robert Bests Crab
tree by Around $4,000.

The election went off in this coun
| ty quietly, with a vote that was no
above medium in numbers. 1t may
possibly show that the vote was be
low normal because it was known
that many failed to register and fol
that reason were not eligible to vote
The county republican ticket Was
elected entirely. J. H. Henry car
ried his home precinct by the good
majority of 40 to 16. He may not
have carried any other, precinct in
the county. AS the returns had not
been canvassed when this was writ
ten very little of a really definite
character is known except final re-
suits. We hope to give the full de-
tails in our issue of next week, VIII en-
we cannot do this week because We
cannot get it put into type for this
issue.
The Rpublican county ticket tn vt
was elected is: Sheriff, Geo. W.
Walker; Trustee, Tho. F. Brown;
Tax Assessor, Thos. j. Kearley.
Brown and Kerley had no opponents.
Constables and members of the count
ty board of education were elected in
some districts. In the first district,
which embraces Crossville, there was
an election for justice of the peace
to fill the vacancy caused by the
moving away of ]. T. Shelley.
There were four candidates, -. c.
Jere Morrow, U. S. Rose
and C. M. Wells. Mr.. Rose was
elected. In the constable race there
were two to be elected. The candi-
dates were E. W. Grisson, O. P. Hy-
der, D. M. Swicegood and Henry
Turner. The race was a close one
with all the candidates. Henry |
j urner is a sure winner and che |
other one rests between Swicegood |
and Hyder.
The several boards will meet
Monday to canvass the returns and
announce the persons elected and
he nominees. There being three
boards and all will likely meet at one
ime, it will be seen that it is some
ask to get them all.
STATE ELECTION
In the State election, Alf A. Tay-
or defeated Jessee M. Littleton by
round 10000, according to news
,aper reports. Gov. A. H. Roberts
GEMS to have defeated Crabtree by
bout $4,000. This was something
+ q surprise as most persons placed
is majority around 10000 The
ig defeat of Jesse M. Littleton
y A. A. Taylor was also a surprise
S many felt confident that Little
on would be the nominee while
1any others felt that the race would
e very close. In this county it Is
robable that Taylor carried it six
0 one. Gov. Roberts has probably
arried the county over Crabtree Dy
our to one or more. The democrat
primary vote was light or the ma
0rity for Roberts would have been
reater.
Sam r. Sells was defeated for con-
ress in the first district. The ma
ority against Sells is likely to be
lose to 500.
In the tenth district Thetus W.
inns was defeated for congress by
former service man. Sims carried
My one county, his home county,
nd that by ony 10 votes, according
, reports.

ldge John A. Moon in the third
ere winners for congrss. TaYor
on with large majority. Moon
afeated his three times opponent,
De Williams, by 500 to 1000 votes.
