tFrom Mondays Daily Herald)
BY the overwhelming majority of
LIP in total vote of over $500, An
drew B. Ewing was nominated for
sheriff of Maury county in the sec
ond or run Off primary held on Sat
urday. Under laden skies for the
greater part of the day a hundred
more voters went to the polls than had
cast their BALLOTS in the first election
when there were twenty candidates on
the ballot. 1t was the largest vote
ever cast in democratic primary.
Ewing increased his lead of 346 in
the first or elimination contest to
LIP. His victory was assured from
the first. He carried what had been
claimed as Goodwin strongholds and as
precinct after precinct upset the pre-
vious calculations and increased his
lead over the vote of a week before
1t became apparent soon after the
polls closed that 1t had been verita-
BILE landslide and that Goodwin had
been overwhelmed with perfect av-
alanche of ballots
Ewing carried six of the ten civil
districts and large majority of the
precincts. Goodwin carried four dis
tricts, but one of them was by the mar
] row margin of five votes and the other
by the very close vote of six.
Ewing carried the fourth, sixth, sew
enth, eighth, ninth and tenth districts
and in all of them his lead was large

portion to the number of votes cast it
was not equal to the seventh where he
got a majority of 314 out of total
vote of less than 600.
Ewing's great victory was shared
alike by country folks and townsfolk
Eliminating the seventh and ninth dis
tficts and he would have won by near
" 400 votes. Ruralites and urbanites
shared in common victory.

rnly five votes whereas many had Civ
en- him 100 majority there. The four
precincts OF the district divided, Wa

Ing and Fixes Mill and Fly's Store to
Goodwin.
Goodwin had majority of only fifty
eight in the second district, another
surprise. Ewing carried Theta but

and at Carriers Creek. In the third
district the precincts were exactly di-
vided, Ewing receiving majorities at
Spring Hill and Neapo!is while God

dron. Godwins lead in the district
was twenty two votes.

fifty-two. He carried three of the four
precincts. Caldwell's Rock Springs
and Leftwich while Goodwin carried
