The Official Count,
By comparison of the unofficial
count of the primary election of
July 9th as published last week,
with the official count as given
in this issue, it will be seen
that there were a good many in-
accuracies in the former. This
was to have been expected, espe-
cially in those boxes reported by
telephone. However, in some in-
stances they were surprisingly
large.
The most unfortunate one was
in the county clerk’s race, as it
changed the result. As first re-
ported Dover had a ma jority over
Tittle of 35, but the official count
shows at Rusk Dover received
174 votes instead of 209, at Bell
School House 57 instead of 67,
and at Dmlville 56 instead of 57,
and tha#at Rusk Tittle received
tftes instead of 303, at Alto
instead of 155, and at Lone
Star 28 instead of 27, making a
difference of 92 votes and giving
Tittle a majority of 57. We say
unfortunate, because the rever-
sal of the result has created a
good deal of dissatisfaction and
bad feeling,Dover and his friends
having settled down to the belief
that he wa's elected. It is rumor-
ed that the election at Rusk will
be contested.
In the race for county judge,
Robinson’s plurality was report-
ed as 275, but is 177.
In the sheriff’s race the first
report gave Singletary’s plural-
ity as 241, when it is 249.
Summers was credited with a
plurality of 86 for collector,when
it should have been only 35. At
Rusk he was reported to have re-
ceived 278 votes, but the count
gave him only 178, a difference of
lOOvotes at one place.
Looney’s plurality for treasur-
er was gives as 199, but is 238.
Sloan’s plurality for assessor
is 293 instead of 327 as first
stated.
It was reported that the Pine
Springs box would be thrown
out because the polls were not
opened until 9 or 10 o’clock and
closed early in the afternoon, but
the executive committee ruled
there was nothing unfair about
it, and every box was counted.
These are not all the discrepan-
cies revealed, but are sufficient
to show that people should not
be too quick to accept unofficial
returns as conclusive.
The large cities are undergo-
ing a beef famine as a result of
the packer’s strike.

An effort will be made at a
meeting to be held in this city
Saturday, July 23rd.. to perfect
a new organization of the fruit
and truck growers and shippers
of East Texas for the purpose of
obtaining better prices for their
produce. Almost without ex-
ception the independent shippers
this year are expressing them-
selves as willing to pool their in-
terest in a union, being con-
vinced that only through com-
bination can the best results
be obtained.
The greatest surprise of the
recent primary election to most
people in this county was the de
feat in the district of S. B. Coop-
er by M. L. Broocks for con-
gress. _
Paul Kruger, ex-president of
the Transvaal, the South African
republic overrun by the British,
is dead. England permitted his
burial in his native land. He had
been living in Holland in exile.
