It i8 belleved here that the charges against Keathley were made by other two candidates for the office. Sparkman’s investigation disclosed that although Keathley was not a registered voter of the county he had been registored as a voter in Brooksville, His fallure to register in the county was explained by the fact that he had been living in South Carolina for some years and had not returned to Brooksville long enough to register in the coun- ty.
