MANY VOTES THROWN
OUT ACCOUNT MARKING
SEVERAL VOTERS OF THIS DIS
TRlcT LOSE VOTE ON ACCOUNT
IGNORANCE OF LAW.
iErnm SUNDAYS Daily Herald.

From Sundays Daily Herald)
Saturdays election proved that
there are many voters in the ninth
district who are absolutely ignorant
of the manner in which the ballot
should be marked. Some OF the pal
lots when opened had to be thrown
out on account of the fact that the
voter had marked an X opposite the
names of two candidates for trustee
or county court clerk or sherif1, ana
had left all the other names just as
they left the hands of the printer
On the other hand some voters eVl-
IDENTITY felt that it was their Chrlstian
duty to vote for every man in the race
and accommodatingly an X was piaceu
opposite the name of each OF the con.
,estants. OF course it was necessary
10 throw these ballots out as improp-
erly marked.

FARMERS AIDING
IN FIGHT UPON
SHEEP SCABb|E
JUDGE WHITTHORNE ANNOUNC-
ES APPOINTMENT OF STATE
AND COUNTY Assistants.
DISEASE IN MANY SECTIONS
Vigorous Fight Now Being Waged by
Federal, State and County Officials
to Prevent Quarantine Of Maury
County Farms.
From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Farmers of every section of the coun-
ty are cooperating fully with federal
state and county officials in the fight
against sheep scab, or scabbie. Judge
Whitthorne has announced that A. ID.
Liggett has been appointed to repre-
sen the state and that Ulna Fraser
represents the county in assisting X.
H. Harcum, sent to the county by the
department of animal husbaniry OF
the federal government.
According to reports the disease IS
being found in widely separated sec
items of the county and that vigorous
fight will have to be waged to place 1t
under control 1t is estimated by Coun-
ty Agent Alternately that there are no
less than 600 fiocks of sheep in the
county. These figures are based upan
the latest federal census which show
ed that Maury county has 1S.000
sheep. this number being divided into
focks which will average about th:r-
ty each gives the county the 600 focks.
Those who are conducting the war
against the scabbie realize that they
have a gigantic task to perform, but
they are working night and day to
eradicate the disease and to prevent
tho quarantine of the farm upon which
the disease is found.
The only cure for the disease is dip
ping. and the entire flock must be dip
ped where one animal is found to be
infected 1t is said that the cost OF
dipping is light, the greatest cost be-
ing the dipping vat, which the practl-
cal farmer can construct himself at
little cost The cost of the dip itself
is small.

T|MMONS CASE
COMP ROM|SED IN
CIRCUIT COURT
DEFENDANT AGREES TO PAY A
FINE OF IS AND COURT COSTS
IN AGREEMENT TODAY.
SECOND TRIAL SET FOR TODAY
Had Previously Been Found Guilty
and Sentenced to Serve Term in
State Prison for Alleged Assault
With Intent to Kill.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
The case of the state against ]. c..
Timmons, charged with assault to
commit murder in the first degree was
compromised this morning when the
defendant, agreed to accept fine of
IS and pay court costs. Friendly re-
lations were at the same restored be-
tween the defendant and his sister
the wife of the prosecutor in the case,
John Stone.
ln. the first trial of this case Mr.
Tinfmons was found guilty by jury
and sentenced to serve a term of one
year in the state prison. Shortly after
the verdict was returned application
for a new trial was made by counsel
for the defense upon the grounds that
new and important proof, which might
have material bearing upon the case
had been discovered. The motion was
allowed by Judge Turner, and the
case had been set for trial a second
time today, when counsel announced
that a compromise had been reached
The trial atteracted many people
from the Knob creek section of the
county to Columbia today, as both
the prosecutor and the defendant are
widely known and prosperous farmers
of that section.
The charge of murder preferred
against Mr.. Timmons was the outcome
of family quarrel. 1t was claimed by
Mr.. Stone, a brother-in-law, that Mr..
Timmons drew double barreled shot
gun on him in a difficulty that arose
over the cutting of certain timber on
the farm of the defendants mother.
The case was holly contested and at
tracted interest throughout the entire
Knob Greek section. Friends of both
the defendant and prosecutor express
ed qualification this morning that the
case had been amicably adjusted.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR new SCHOOL
AT mt PLEASANT
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL
LARS IN ciTY'S BONDS SOLD
AND MONEY IN TREASURY.
BEGIN ON FOUNDATION SOON
When Finished Phosphate City viii
Have as Good School Equipment AS
Any Town of Its Size in the Coun-
try-Erected on Splendid Location.
(From Fridays Daily Herald.)

Plans are practically complete for
the handsome new school building
that will be erected at Mt Pleasant
Jointly by the city of Mt. Pleasan and
the county board of education. For the
purpose of paying for its share in the
building the city of Mt Pleasant has
authorized by vote of the people
last spring to issue $4,000 of bonds.
These bends were sold recently and
the money has been paid into the city
treasury The bonds were sold practi-
cally at par, the premium being sufti-
cent to pay the expenses Of the sac.
The new building will be erected on
the splendid lot doanted for that pur
pose by William H. Long, former may
or and former representative in the
general assembly from this county.
Work is expected to begin on the con-
crete foundation at an early date and
before long the contract for the build
ing will be let.
When the new building is comp eted
Mt. Pleasant will have as fine public
school facilities as any town of its
SIZE in the county. The building will
be thoroughly equipped with all OF
the modern ccnveniences of a first
class school.
The building will probably cost,
with the equipment, in excess of $4o,-
600. In addition to the city's bond is
sue the county appropriated $1,000
and then Mt. Pleasant under the law
received a portion of the bond issue
of the county in addition.
For years it has beon apparent that
Mt. Pleasant needed better school ia

SURPRISING FINISH.

From Sundays Daily Herald }

From Sundays Daily HeraidD
Running without dollar of money,
without even semblance of an organ
ization, without single election work
er, standing squarely on a platform of
law enforcement and on his record of
life time as the stalwart champion
of good government in every contest
waged in the county since he became
voter Andrew B. Ewing, Of the ninth
district, made the most surprising
race ever run in the county, distancing
his nearest competitor, Claude God
win, ex-sheriff and with a splendid Or
ganiaztion, by some 200 votes.
The race that Ewing ran will be
talked about for long time. Not
single politician believed that he
would be the leader, not single well
informed voter who supported him Sc
riously contended that he would be
the first in the race and thereby get
all the powerful moral support that
the leader ever has in the run off
primary Mr.. Ewing spent the day
at the depot precinct, where less than
one-quarter of the votes of the district
were cast He had no one at the
court house to importune the voters
for him. He did not even send cards
over the county or furnish guides to
the voters. He had made about as
poor canvass of the county as can
didate ever made. He did not allow
the election to interfere with his bus
mess of delivering milk. He probably
personally interviewed fewer voters
than any candidate in the contest.
Mr.. Ewing's chief competitor and
who until an hour or more after the
polls hal closed, was conceded the
leader, is one of the most popular men
in the county twice having been elect
| ed sheriff. He has been a factor in
every political battle in the county
| for years and always made his infiu-
ence felt. He had fine organization
over the county and received the most
fattering vote in every section where
he had lived. e
There was only one plank in Ewing's
platform and that was to uphold the
law as it is written. And every man,
woman and child in the county knew
that he meant just what he said Mr.,
Ewing's lead with every box reported
except Enterprise, was 500 over God
win. The unreported box will make
little change as Boyd got practically
all of the votes polled. Ewing recelV-
ed. however less than a third OF the
total vote of the county, as ne nau
seven competitors. The total vote OF
the county. Enterprise box OF the
sixth district excepted was as follows.
