The I race for Sheriff seems to be the • center of attraction, and the inost notable coincident was I the fact that each candidate fori ■ Sheriff received the same num-j i ber of votes.

Petree. in Davis securing consider- J ably more than half of the dele gates to the county convention and nearly three hundred ma jority of the popular vote cast, which practically insures his nom ination on the first ballot at the county convention to be held hera Saturday. The contest for Register of Deeds was the next strongest, but the exact vote received by i the several candidates could not j be secured. From the best infor- ; mation obtainable it appeal that; the present Register of Deeds | John G. Morefipld is in the lead. 1 while Sam P. Heath, Lathe Gor-1 don, J. Frank Dunlao and O. M. i Bennett, each have a strong; vote. It is certain that the: successful candidate will not be > nominated on the first ballot andj and it looks at present like a number of ballots will be neces-! sary. The vote for Sheriff at the several precincts, as near as it could be secured, was as follows: Music Club Meets. Written For The Reporter.
