srcmnt STATE, THE UHIOH 8CB8CBIPTI0N $LM JQYNER RE-ELECTED MAYOR 4 :n town election Tues day Entire NeW Board of Commis sioners Elected; Results were Puzzle Until Count Out; Election Quiet But Determin ed) Many Reasons Given. In quiet but thoroughly determined, action the electors of 'Loulsburg on Tuesday made almost: a clean, sweep In ousting the old administration and installing new material. Mayor Joy ner was the only survivor Of the old regime? the entire Board ot Commis sioners being defeated and new ones elected, 'The day -passed off quietly and the voting was so much scattered that no one ventured a guess at the fi nal results; the nearest approach be ing a split flfty-flfty, was generally the expression on both sides. * The count, out after the polls closed was'as follows: For Mayor ? L. L Jorner 247, W. H. Macon 192. For Commissioners ? J. 8. Howell 300, F. N. Spivey 279, Q. S. Leonard. 262, j. W. Perry, 261, J, J. Barrow 288, M. S. Davis 228, B. N. Williamson 210, , F, R. Pleasants 176, H. M. Stovall 173, 1 f! W. Hlcka 158. ' J Quite a variety of reasons for the | i was made. Some think ft was cue to a declre toshow the disapproval o: the public of the call and bidding of the recent primary, otherrf attribute it to the fact that all names were not. placed on one ticket, maid rig a1 pri mary of the election, and many oth ers, bat np doubt the biggest reason was the Unrest of .the public and thru that a general desire for a change. The newly elected officers are men of fine business ability and are cap able of giving the town efficient and and economical administration and will no doubt give to the people the bust administration of which they are capable. The retiring Board, although not without Its errors, has done a good part bx the town and hare helped to rush the town quite a good fcft ' for vtrd In the march tor progress. The new officers will take charge of the Town's affaire Tuesday at noon and proceed to organize. Just whfct changes oro contemplat ed, It any, we do not know, but It is predicted there will be some. Probab ly ?-city manager Will be employed among those that are mado.
