DEATH OF R. M. NELSON

Mr.. R. M. Nelson, of Salem, died
last Saturday morning, after a few
years of suffering. After services at
his late residence by Rev. G. B.
Belts late that afternoon, his remains
were inferred in Salem cemetery.
Mr.. Nelson lacked only two months
Of being 72 years Of age, and was
born in the lower end of District No.
5, and all of his long life had been
spent in this part Of Upton county,
except 10 years of his youth in La
fayette county, Miss. His life was
one Of modest, quiet, uprightness,
strictly attending to his own business
and speaking no i'll of his neighbor.
He was consistent member Of the
A. r. P. church since early manhood.
Mr.. Nelson was married to Miss
Georgia Carter in May, 1872, who for
40 years had travelled life's pathway
with him. To them were born eight
children, six of whom, with the
mother, survive Messrs James and
Henry B., and Misses Effie, Alice.
Maud and Lillian; also one brother,
Mr.. G. P. Nelson, of Almyra, and a
large number of other relatives.

SCHOOL FUNDS SUFFICIENT
TO PAY EXPENSES

Trustee j. A. Peeler redeemed all
outstanding warrants Wednesday
against the general and high school
accounts for the closing school year.
Interest-bearing warrants to the
amount Of $4,000 issued some sew
eral years ago by the school board
were also retired, and there is still a
cash balance in the county treasury
to the credit of school accounts.
The school accounts were never in
better condition, and it has been 25
years or longer since enough funds
were available to cover expenses Of
public instruction. "To begin a new
school year in Triton county with
cash on hand is certainly rare ex-
perience," as one Of the school au-
thorities expressed it.
The new school wear will BEGIN
July 1, and it is reasonable to expect
that a new order has been inaururst-
ed in covering the expenses Of the
county school system so as to stav
within the tax income each fiscal
year.

census bureau announced Monday.
A preponderanee Of males has
been shown in every census, due pri-
marily, the announcement said, to
the considerable number Of foreign

AGED LADY PASSES AWAY

The communities of Idaville and
Almyra were shocked last Friday
afternoon, when the sad news spread
from home to home that Mrs. Artie
Cousar was dead. She had not been
well for some time, more from in
firmities of age, but no one thought
that the end was so near. Though
she was for a few days confined to
her bed, she ate hearty dinner Fri
day. She passed away suddenly
about 2 o'clock, almost before the
family realized that the end had
come.
Mrs. Cousar was the youngest
daughter Of Mr.. William Faulkner,
one of the pioneer settlers Of the
Idaville neighborhood, and was born
in Lancaster county, S. G., and came
to Upton county with her parents
when she was but a child On De-
cember 25, 1867, she was married to
Mr.. Thomas Cousar, of Lafayette
county, Miss, after which she lived
there some years, but after the death
of Mr.. Cousar, she, with her children,
moved back TO Upton, SeLJllng near
Almyra, where the remainder Of her
life was spent. Mrs. Cousar was the
last member Of a large family to
pass away, who had large number
of descendants in Upton county.
Early in life Mrs. Cousar made a
profession of religion, connecting
herself with the A. r. P. church. and
had been continuously member Of
that church except the years she
lived in Mississippi. In all the re-
lations Of life she filled every duty
faithfully in a quiet humble, way.
After services in Salem church by
her pastor, Rev. G. B. Belts, assisted
by Revs. R. w. Carson and ]. l..
Boyd, her remains were laid to rest
in the churchyard, where many of
her kindred lie.
Mrs. Cousar had passed her 85th
year by nearly six months. She is
survived by one son, Mr.. Pressly
Cousar, and three daughters, Mrs.
C. P. Nelson and Misses Ellen and
Cora Cousar.

PRIMARY ELECTION
SEPTEMBER 10
DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE SETS DATE
Five County Officials To Be Nomi-
mated on That Date-Candidates
Must Qualify BY July rs and Pay
ment Of Poll Taxes Required By
August 1O--WOmen Exempt-EsQ.
Overall Elected Chairman.

The county Democratic executive
committee met in the courthouse at
2 o'clock Saturday afternoon and
designated Saturday, September 10,
1921, as the day on which the Demo-
cratic primary election will be held
for the nomination of candidates for
sheriff, trustee, county court clerk,
circuit court clerk and register.
Secretary James j. Miller called
the committee to order, after which
resolutions eulogizing the late
A. B. Cobb were read and unani-
mously adopted by the committee.
ESQ. j. Lauderdale Richardson was
elected executive committeeman
from District No. to succeed Mr..
Cobb, and ESQ. j. Bennett Overall,
Of Garland, was unanimously chosen
chairman.
The motion to postpone the calling
Of the primary until the spring of
1922 was defeated BY vote Of s
to 6. A majority of the candidates
in the race for the various offices
petitioned the committee to call the
primary on the second Saturday in
September, which was done.
The committee called a legal pri-
mary, poll taxes being required to
vote in the election, and also regis
tration receipts in districts Nos. /,
z and 5.
Women will be permitted to vote
in this election without paying poll
taxes, as they were not assessed for
same this year. However, their reg
istration in the districts mentioned
above will be necessary in order to
qualify as voters.
Candidates must qualify BY July
rs by paying to the secretary Of
the committee $40 for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of the pri-
mary. Poll tax must be paid not
later than August 10, 1921. Polls
are to open at 8 a. m. and close at
4 p. m.
Following the action of the com
mittee Saturday in calling an early
fall primary, the candidates already
in the field announced their pur-
pose .of beginning the campaign
vigorously this week and are can
wasting the county.
The office of register seems to
be the most coveted "plum.' There
are fully rs persons who have an
nounced themselves as candidates for
this office, and five of them are
women, who are showing as much
determination and campaign activity
as their men opponents. Opposing
candidates for nomination to the
other offices are also numerous.
Due to the fact that women are
to participate, the heaviest Demo-
cratic vote ever cast in Tipton county
is freely predicted by the candidates.
A widespread interest is being mani
Tested already. The status of the
various candidates is being discussed
bv the voters as result of the con-
vassing. which has been in progress
some time hereto.
