In the history of Brookhaven will take
part In the city's primaries set for May
23rd and May goth. The number now
qualified to vote is 1914 according to
check up today Of the poll books. Two
years ago 1t was only 732. The addi-

material difference and all the candi-

J and pondering where the majority of
this new vote will go-whether IL will
be landslide the ladies' voting almost
solidly for certain candidates or wheth-
er they will vote as a whole like their
husbands and brothers. 1t is not con-
ceded to any extent however, that this
will happen as the ladies who will vote
are much inclined to express their in
dividual preference without let or him

In the meantime with the election
less than two weeks off, open interest
in the selection of candidates remains
unexpressed to a great extent-in truth
it is hard to strike up a conversation
of any length with any one but a can
didate as to the probable final results.
| As will be seen by the list of quali-

Ward One has now overtopped in num-

hitherto been at the head of the list

her headaches, backaches and pains

no longer. Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

Reports of President E. Y. Mullens
of Louisville, and, of the various sec
retaries was the frs thing before

filled up the remainder Of the morn
ing program. Ministerial annuities
and report of the conservation COM
rnittee was set for the afternoon. The
evening session was to be given over
to a sermon by the Rev. S. J. Porter,

cept DIR. Hight C. Moore, Nashville,
recording secretary, new men were to
be chosen for the four positions as
