Clodfelter, as tally men. , The witness was asked to read one of the three returns made out In this township and , It gave Jones 443 and Flynt 214 . There was objection to this by Judge Jones on the ground that there was no evidence to show that that one of the return blanks had ever been be fore the canvassing board. On cross-examination the witness wag asked to read the vote for candi dates for sheriff on the blank return ed to the canvassing board and this gave Jones 433 and Flynt 214.

Mr. J. F. Reynolds' Evidence. nur Jnhn P Reynolds was on the Und nracticallv all of the morning. He was questioned by Hon. A. E. Hol ton as to his position at me Broauuaj precinct. Witness stated that he acted as one of the tally men and that he made out two returns of the county box (that one In which the votes for county offi cers were placed) to the best of his knowledge and that he thought he made out one of some other ticket. Mr KnvnoMa stated that tne oni; way In which he could account for the discrepancy In the vote Tor sheriff In the returns was that on account of the lateness of the hour after the election the figures were called wrong to him and that he rot m aown M cUed out. ' The witness also put aown me us urer for sheWff on a ticket as secured from a tally- sheet showing 443 votes for Jones and 214t for Flynt. This ticket was offered in evidence. De fendant objected.

He was aake.1 to explain the recount of a vote mentioned Tuesday I and witness explained that the tall; men became confused as to one vote and this was made necessary in one instance.- The cross-examination was conduct ed by Hon. C. iB. Watson Mr. Watson asked the witness' why be wrote the vote for Jones as being 433 when he knew it was 443, having written the vote that way on a ticket and telephoned it in to Republican headquarters. The witness stated that he thought that on account of the lateness of the hour a mistake had been made In calling the figures and that he had put them down as call ed. ' . . . .- (Alt this point M.

The paper was a third record of the returns : from Broadbay township on county offi cers. -. ' v,. : The production of this paper was a surprise and brought on a legal fight. the counsel for the relator desiring to see It. . The defense refused to turn the paper over until the proper time. stating that they presented it merely for Identification so they could pre sent it when they desired. Hon. A. E. Holton addressed the ref eree, stating that the counsel for the relator Insisted on seeing the paper before the witness was questioned con cerning It and also after he had been questioned . and bad identified th handwriting as his own and renewec the demand for inspection with a vie" to a re-dlrect examination of the wit ness, Counsel for the defense objected tc showing the paper on the ground that it had not been offered in evidence but for the purpose of identification. Hon. A. B). Holton and ex-Judge Bynum cited law relative to the mat ter, but the decision of the referee was reserved until further argument; at which time the witness could bi recalled if it was decided to . allow the counsel for the relator the privil ege of looking over the document This was done in order to save time. Mr. Reynolds also told of being at the meeting of the ccurrty board ol canvassers and calling their attentior to the . discrepancy, in the vote In Broadbay townahtp, stating that, be declared at. that time that 443 was the correct, vote and brought Mir.

C. and B. C. Tavls were examined by the counsel for the relat or, but nothiug new was brought out In thelT evidence. Afternoon 8esslon, The hearing reconvened at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. A. P. Brown was examined and Mr. Cicero Jones, who testlfled-es- terday. was recalled to the stand, but nothing new was brought out in their testimony. Mr. S. F. Cude was called to the stand and the tally sheet claimed to be that kept by the late Dr. H. M Teague was handed to blm for the Durnose of having him identify it. The witness stated that he thought the document hapded him was the sheet In question; that it looked like it; but that he was not positive as be only looked at the vote on the sheet for sheriff which gave Jones 443 and Flynt 214. The tally sheet was offered In evi dence by the relator and counsel fori the defense objected on the ground that it could not either cantradlct nr mmtaln the official returns. H. W.

Hon. C. B. Watson, of counsel for the defense, announced that the de fense would undertake to show that there was concerted action along this line. . One witness after another was call ed to the stand today, all being asked practically the same questions and being rigidly cross-examined by Hon. A. E. Holton, of counsel for the rela tor. The cross-examinations were more lengthy than the direct examina tions, Mr. Holton explaining to the court that be was testing the mem ory of the members of the canvass ing ooara. ah oi tne witnesses- ex amined at the morning session were members of the canvassing board. The witnesses were called to- the stand and told of the meeting of the canvassing board, of the controversy relative to alleged discrepancies in the votes in Middle Fork No. 1 and Broadbay townships.

This was repeated every time a witness was called to the stand. ' ; The hearing was interrupted at various Intervals' by objections on both sides to certain evidence. Every nolnt was hotly contested. In the cross-examination of Mr. V. M. Beroth. counsel for the telator ask ed the witness about the law cited at the hearing of the canvassing board and there was strenuous objection on the part ot counsel for - the de fense. There was no particular oo- tect la view In this, according to Mr. Holton, other than to test the mem ory of the witness.

A number ot other "rfltnesses were examined for the defense and the tes timony for the defendant was conclud ed. 1 The relator put on a number of wit nesses in rebuttal. The bearing was then adjourned tor argument at Lexington at a date to be agreed on by counsel for both sides and the referee. The hearing brought out very tew new points In regard to the matter. The public has long since made np Its mind, it seem, about one-half claiming one thing and the other half just op posite.

Much Interest is felt In the levy as some change will have to be made If the rate in the rural sec tions is to remain at $1 on the $100 valuation. x - , : The state rate this year Is Increas ed 2 cents oil the $100 valuation. The states part is aa follows: For pen sions, 4 cents; general state fund,. 21 cents; general school fund, 20 cents, The last item has heretofore been 18 cents. v . - ' , One cltlsen suggested today that the county can reduce the general county fund 2 cents on the hundred dollars valuation and still give the county more money on this fund and at the same time leave the $1 rate on tbe $100 valuation In tbe rural dis tricts as at present on account of the increased valuation this year. The rate for the general county fund per one hundred dollars valuation la now 23 2-8 cents and the reduction on this fund would make It 21 2-3 cents "Basing the value of all property in the" county at $23,000,000, the amount which would be derived for general county purposes would be $49,833 at the reduced rate which is more than wdii collected last year. ' , "The total property wilt amount to 123.000.000 this year as there was gain of $2,500,000 in real and personal property and there wui also ne splendid gain in bank stock and new corporations. - ' "The new county JaH which hereto fore consumed much of the general fund has now been paid tor in full and only the usual expenses are to be paid from the general fund includlnr the lall expenses, county jiome ex penses, court house expenses, salaries of county offloers and. superior coun costs.' The county now has no new hmtdlnBs to-eieut and there la stma balance on the general fund left ever from last year.
