HERALD COVERS THE
ELECTION DETAILS
-FOUR TELEPHONES KEPT BUSY
UNTIL A LATE HOUR ANSWER.
ING THE CALLS.
(From Mondays Daily Herald.)


AS usual The Herald was right there
when it came to the receipt and deliy-
cry of the election news on Saturday
night. Tom Chapman at Sandy Hook
was the first to report giving the vote
of that box at few minutes after 4
O'Clock. Carter's Greek was the next
and Southport third and then they
came in quick succession before six
o'clock when the polls closed in Colum-
bia, every box in the county had been
heard from.
Through the courtesy Of the Cum
berland and Citizens Telephone Com,
panies duplicate telephones were in
stalled in The Herald Office and all
four of them were kept constantly
ringing until after ten o'clock. There
were as many inquiries and as much
interest shown as there was in the
first primary a week before. That the
interest in the run off was actually
greater than that in the first primary
was shown in the size of the vote. In
the first primary 5,515 voted for trus,
tee and in the election last Saturday
5,613 voted, or an increase of about
100. This discounted the predictions
of every Politician
More women called and asked about
the election Saturday night than ever
before known. Two-thirds of the wo-
men called simply asked about the
sheriff's race. Apparently that was all
they wanted to know.

is SHOWN HERE
IN FORD OFFER
HERALD OFFICE is BESElGED
WITH TELEPHONE CALLS FOR
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS.
MUCH TO THIS SECTION
Reports of Secretaries Weeks and
Hoover viii Shortly Be Submitted
to Congress for Acceptance or Re-
lection.

(FTrom Saturdays Daily Heraldl
A United Press dispatch, carried in
The Herald on Friday, to the effect
that Henry Ford's offer for the Mus
Gle Shoals nitrate plant at Florence,
Ala, has been virtually accepted by
the government created intense inter
est both in Columbia and Mt. Pleas
ant.
1t became rumored here early on
Friday afternoon that the offer had
been accepted and The Herald was
beseiged with callers anxious to veri-
fy the reports IN circulation.
The acceptance of Ford's offer will
mean thousands upon thousands of
dollars to this section. 1t will afford
employment to thousands Of men
throughout the country, and according
to Ford himself, it will solve the I'M
employment situation of the nation
which has been perplexing admins
tration officials for the past several
months.
1t appears from news dispatches this
morning that there was foundation for
Fridays report, and within few
days Secretaries Weeks and Hoover
will submit their reports to congress
embodying their collisions in the
matter.
Mr.. Ford has been in Washington
for several days, having been called
there by Secretary Weeks to furnish
first hand and detailed information as
to his offer. He has conferred with
secretaries Weeks and Hoover Major
General Lansing H. Beach, chief of
army engineers, and others.
Following the conferences, those
who participated in them, refused to
comment upon the subjects discussed
but it was believed by those in close
touch with the matter that the cost of
construction work on the Wilson dam
figured largely in the discussion.
The reports to be presented to con-
gress, it was explained, will not nee
essarily contain recommendation for
the acceptance or rejection of the Of
fer and may only contain facts as
found.

CARRIES SIX OF TEN DISTRICTS
Tremendous Majority Of over Four
Hundred in His Own District Turn.

Finish, Court House Box Deciding.
(From Mondays Daily Herald)

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
Demonstrating again the strength
of the precedent in Maury county that
the leader, is always the final victor,
Robert II. Jackson won the nomina.
ton for trustee in the democratic pri-
mary Saturday over James ID. Cathey.
Jackson had a lead of five votes in the
first or elimination contest and he in
creased this to thirty-three Saturday.
Like the victory for sheriff Jackson
carried six of the ten districts of the
county and he came to the ninth dis
trict with lead of 800 votes. Since
the ninth district was conceded to
Cathey the result was practically in
doubt until the last vote had been
counted of the thirteen hundred cast
in the big court house box. The ninth
district gave Cathey a majority of 267
or thrirty-three less than Jackson
lead.
Jackson carried the second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth districts.
Cathey received majorities in the first,
seventh, ninth and tenth districts.
Jackson's tremendous vote in the
third, his home, put him across. In
the four precincts of the third district
Jackson received an aggregate vote of
$50 while his opponent got only thir-
ty-seven, or majority of 413. At Raj
ly Hill, Jacksons home box, the vote
was 1855 to four. Cathey's banner dis
trict was the seventh where he got
455 to 79 or majority of 1882. His
old home, the tenth, gave him 222 to
forty-twO.
1t was most exciting finish from
the time that the polls closed until
the count at the court house had been
completed just before nine o'clock. 1t
was all question of Cathey's major
ity which fell below the expectations
of his friends. Had he received the
vote in the ninth district that his
friends had counted upon he would
have been elected,
Just as soon as the result was def
nitely known the devoted friends of
Bob" Jackson, the victor, overwhelm-
ed him with congratulations. He was
so overcome with his victory that he
Rugged every man in sight. His untir-
ing work at the polls during the day
unquestionably helped him to win
Mr. Jackson is a farmer of the third
district and while he has long been
active in the politics this was his first
race for a county office. He is admit
teddy one of the greatest personal cam
paigners that the politics of the coun-
ty has ever known. His winning man
ner and the number of his devoted per
sonal friends decided the issue for
him.
Mr. Cathey, the defeated candidate
has been a. deputy in the trustees Of
fee for years He is universally re-
garded as one of the most efficient
men who ever served the county, and
is so highly regarded that men who
voted for jackson often expressed re-
greet that they could not also vote for
Cathey.
