Defeated in
Primary Files
Court Contest
WACO, Sept. 19.—Justices of the
Tenth < ourt of Civil Appeals here
b riday afternoon were studying mo-
tion of L. H. Withrow of Teague for
writ of inundamus commanding that
his name be certified on the general
election ballot as democratic nomi-
nee for office of commissioner, pre-
cinct two, Freestone County, by rea-
son of a plurality lend in the first
primary election.
The relator alleges in his petition
that the county executive committee
prior to the first primary election
failed to decide whether nomination
should be by majority or plurality,
and therefore, that the election as
to this particular office is null and
void, has no force and effect, and
was and is without authority of the
law.
Results of the first primary elec-
tion, according to Withrow’s appli-
cation were; Withrow, 715 votes; T.
E. Martin, 394; J. T. Sandifer, 332;
Morgan I Sam L. Bryant, 229. In the second
| primary Withrow took 760 votes and
! Martin, 823. Martin therefore eerti-
| fied as nominee.
• Named respondents are the Coun-
j ty Clerk and the Freestone Democra-
tic Executive Committee.

Fairfieid has called the Rev. James
Morgan to pastor the Church for the
sixth consecutive year. The Church
at Buffalo, which he has served as
pastor for the past, fifteen years, has

ablest ministers in the B. M. Associa-

him to members of other demoninu-

The Fairfield Eagles opened the
football season against Thornton
Tigers Friday winning by the score*
of 39-0. The Eagles scored in every
period against a small and inexper-
ienced Thornton eleven that showed
that it had only had a few days .of
practice.
Most Eagle scores came as the re-
sult of long drives, but several long
runs either resulted in touchdowns
or put the ball in scoring position.
Thornton had a hard fighting crew
and it required good blocking to get
past the line of scrimmage, but their
lack of experience and practice wero
the things that showed up most on
the offense. The Eagle line had com-
plete charge of the situation and al-
lowed them only three first downs.
The Tigers did not get the ball past
the midfield.
The Eagle offense looked good at
times with the line blocking well and
opening holes on numerous occasions.
The backficld showed to have both
power and speed. Extensive blocking
practice is the main item on this
week’s schedule of practice.
It would be hard to name any one
player that stood out above the rest.
The line showed strength with <he
veterans Bailey, Mobley, Robinson,
and Williford doing fine work. Whit-
aker, Brand and Rosser did fine ser-
vice and impressed the people in the
stand with fine blocking and tackling.
Glazener and Gillard both looked
good as did Eubank and several other
new comers.
In the backfield Duane Emmons
and Horton hail to share the honors
with Fischer, Manahan and E, F.
Emmons. Toby Cox looked like a good
prospect for backfield. He is playing
his first year.
All in all, the Eagles look like con-
tenders in the district.
Starting team—
Williford and Rosser—End.
Bailey and Brand—Tackles.
Mobley and Whitaker—Guards.
Robinson—Center.
Fischer—Quarterback.
Emmons and Manahan—Halfbacks.
Horton—Fullback.
Score by periods: 1st, 12; 2nd, 6;
3rd, 14; 4th, 7.
