Moore, who ran in the second race against Bur kett for the alllue, the nominee of the Democratic party. The appeal was takeu on the ground that Eddie C. Geddings voted at the DuBose box, that he voted for M. L. Moore, that he was not qualified to vote ami that therefore the box should be thrown out. Kurther ground 'or appealing1 was that E. W. Parker voted at Dalzcll for M. L Moore and that he waa not a resident of the dis trlct. The appeal is taken by Harmon D. Molse, attorney for Magistrate Burkett. In his reply M. L. Moore, through his attorney, Geo. D. Levy, makes a counter appeal on the ground that a vote in Ward 2 was cast for R. L. Burkett, when there was no evidence before the executive committee to e-how that the person casting the vote lived within the jurisdiction of the SiX^b magisterial district. It was also alleged that the county executive committee erred in counting for Bur* hett; the vote?cast by Manning Dor ilty, when the evidence showed he was not; a; resident of. the district. The matter will be taken up before the S.tat#v executive cowm.teee on next 'Tuesday and decided.
