DEMOCRATS SEEK |
TO PLACE SEVEN
MOREON BALLOT
Petition to Supreme Court to
Have Names Added to
Ticket Here.
Democrats of this county' have
petitioned the Supreme Court to
force Lawrence A Cather, chairman,
John Guy Prichard and W.
Kenneth Barnes, members of the
Marion County Ballot Commission,
to place the names of seven additional
Democrats on the ballot to
be voted on at the funeral election
to be held a week from next Tuesday.
This became known late yesterday
afternoon when Sheriff James v
D. Charlton received 'the papers
I'll Liic- cast: irum ine ceirK 01 me
Supreme Court end served them
upon the members of ttao commission.
Chairman Cather, after a conference
with the members of the
commission, stopped the printing
of the ballots. This work was about
half finished and if the Democrats
succeed in having the names of
their candidates placed on the ballot
it will mean much additional :
expense to the tax payers, it was i
pointed out today. ?
When the ballot commissioners
met some time ago to certify the
names of the candidates and to
prepare the ballot to hand to the
printers Walter R. Haggert chair
man of the Democratic executive
committee, asked that the names
be placed on the ballot, but the
majority of the commission ruled
that the time limit allowed by law
to place names on the ballot had
elapsed and that they' could not
place the names on the ballot.
After waiting a few days and
; TOt/heurj4ir^yrtU& ^rrbmv-Uke Democratic
committee, the ballot
was handed to the printers and
the work of Tunning off the ballots
started. One week and a day later
the Democrats through their attorneys,
L. H. Lemley, H. H. Rose
and Henry S. Lively, appeared before
the Supreme Court in Charleston
and filed seven petitions
asking the court to Issue writs of
mandamus compelling the ballot
commission to place tlie names
they desired on the ballot.
Tho petitions were received by
the court and the members of the |
ballot commislson were notified to
file their answer to the petition on
Monday, October 30.
Tho Democrats failed to have
any candidates make the race in
the primary for the positions for
which they are now making a
fight to get their candidates on the
uukui, uui hi meetings ot uio executive
committee held on August

WATER TEST HERE
PROVESSUCCESS;
Softened Water Supply Will
Be Ready for Local Consumers
Monday.
B. S. Tisdale, sanitary engineer
of the State Health Department,
anounced at noon today that the
experiment at the city reservior to
make the city water softer through
a lime and sola ash process was a
complete success. The entire rose- (
voir has been put under the test. "
Mr. Tisdale stated that the effect
of the experiment would not be
felt down town until lato tomorrow
or early Monday on account of the
great volume of water in the mains
and in the end of the resevoir.
Just as soon as this water has 1
been consumed a great chauge 1
will be noticed in the city supply, i
however. Mr. Tisdale is greatly }
pleased with the experiment.' He ,
worked at the rosevoir until 1 .
o'clock this morning. <
He will leave for. Charleston late j
this afternoon, but will return to ,
Fairmont on Monday or Tuesday. ,
