Graham, service station manager, won Sheriff over Grover C. Tatum, former sheriff for 20 years, by 996 votes to 900. Mrs Wil- u - daughter of . the ,, present Clerk, won Clerk of the Supe rior Court over Waldo Sim mons by polling 1087 votes to 701 for Simmons. Self Leads Farrar In a state race for Solicitor General of the Lookout MOTh- tain Judicial Circuit, Earl B. (Bill) Self led his opponent, Arch Farrar, in Dade County by 970 votes to 544 votes for Far¬ rar. According to unofficial turns from other counties in the Circuit, Self was ahead in Catoosa and Walker counties also. In the race for Public Service Commissioner, Allen Chappell, incumbent, received 773 votes in Dade to 405 for his oppon¬ ent, Ray C. Birdsall. Turnout Large The voting in Dade County was more than expected by most observers since only two county races were in balance and only two state races were contested. A total of 1915 votes were cast of about 3800 voters registered. This is 586 less than was cast in the county primary on April 12. In the county primary April 12, Tatum received 965 votes, Graham 836. The other votes were divided between Sheriff Bill Lynch and L. R. Chris¬ tian, forcing Tatum and Gra¬ ham into the run-off. A similar situation occured in the race for Cleric. Mrs. Williams polled 999 votes in the county primary to 723 for Sim¬ mons. A third candidate, Wil¬ liam Nicoll, received 610 votes, forcing the first two into the run-off. The County Demo¬ cratic Executive Committee ap¬ proved the run-off for the first time this year in the event that no candidate receives a majority of votes cast for that office. Singing on Courthouse Lawn Although less interest was shown than in the April 12 primary, the county seat at Trenton was thronging with people until 10:30 p. m. Wed¬ nesday. Music was provided on the courthouse lawn by the “Alabama Kid” playing a guitar and singing in behalf of Earl Self’s candidacy for Solicitor of this Circuit. A scoreboard was erected on the side of the Busy Bee by Hubert Lacy so that everyone interested could see the results as they came in from the pre¬ cincts. Final unofficial results on the sheriff's race were known by 10:30 p. m. and the crowds began to thin. Enough precincts had reported to de¬ termine winners in the races for Clerk and Solicitor by that time, also. State Races Unopposed Most of the state races were unopposed. /■ Walter R. McDonald, unap- posed, received 1762 votes for Publfh Service Commissioner. Bond Almand, unopposed, re¬ ceived 1749 votes for Justice of the Supreme Court. Tom S.
