Some fellows rode out ahead of all the candidates Saturday.
Mr. H.F. Harrill, local realty agent, left his Buick touring car parked I front of the Central Methodist church about 5 o’clock in the afternoon Saturday, and returned later to find it gone.
Such was the confusion and bustle about the court square where the voting was being carried on that no one noticed the car when it was driven away.
Mr. Harrill says that a man came up to him and had hi point out a highway route and it is thought that while this was being done the man’s accomplice was getting the car a the attention of the owner was diverted.
