FORT PAYNE, Ala.—A primary vote took place on Tuesday for a special election to fill two vacated DeKalb County Constable positions— DeKalb County Constable Districts 1 and 4. Because only Republicans qualified for District 4, the primary winner in that race, Billy J. Whitt, will be the next constable in that district. In the District 1 race the primary established which Democrat and Republican candidates will represent their parties in the District 1 general election to be held sometime in mid-November. George Roberts is the Democrat winner of the District 1 primary and Kyle Pike was the winner on the Republican ticket.
