PRIMARY ELECTION.
emoeratic Primary elec-
only two weeks from to-
v and, of course, each can-
,s stronger now than he
its and is surs to win in a
I le election of a Govern-
lhe principal theme of topic
lie State and the candidates
r their views are well known.
,, the election of a Sheriff
; leader, while that of Tax
-or is a close second. Each
ce has four aspirants and the
friends of each candidate are con-
sent of victory when the returns
are all in. To pick the winner
ould only be making a haphaz-
ard guess and any one single idea
will be taken for what it is worth
and discounted by the opposition.
About the hardest proposition
ever thrown upon the voters of
this County to solve is the race
for Tax Assessor. Each of the
four aspirants have had their case
well diagnosed by the public and
it is a hard matter to decide on
whom to vote for. Barring every
other consideration, the character
and sterling qualities of these men
make it doubly hard for the voter
to select a choice. To vote for
one means that the other three
must be scratched, which is no
pleasant duty for any man to do
who is acquaintad with the candi-
dates. But a choice will have to
be made and the man who wins
can lay a lot of his success to luck
because, we doubt not, that on
election day many voters will go
to the polls undecided on who to
vote for and scratch three of
them indiscriminately, or toss
heads and tails for the lucky one.
The J udge’s race has created no
little talk and that also is a race
hard to judge. There being only
two in this race, a line is general-
ly easily gotten on the winner,
but in this race such is not the
case. The two candidates are
working hard, and the one that
gets there is going to know that
he has had a run for his money
unless something is started to turn
the votes in one direction.
False or shady reports are like-
ly to be spread during the next
two weeks and the voters should
take them for what they are worth
and, if serious, investigate their
origin and truthfulness. It is not
right to turn a friend down unless
you have a cause, and you have
no cause on a mere rumor unless
that rumor is confirmed beyond a
doubt. All the candidates are
good men and should be elected on
their merits and not on fake ru-
mors. So let the voters stand firm
in their confidence in their candi-
date and the detestable practice of
starting false or shady rumors will
amount to naught.

The power behind the dongh must be quick and positive in action
—it must produce certain, satisfactory results and yet be pure
and wholesome. K C Baking Powder is the scientific com-
v bination of all these desirable qualities. Hundreds of thousands
\\ of good housewives know that K C has made bake-day a pleas
ure, and we ask you for your own sake to try K C Baking
Powder at least once. Guaranteed pure under all pure food
laws. Your grocer will return your money if you are
not pleased. It will solve your bake-day problems.

the overcrowded districts are go-
ing to overflow upon it. But we
have to let others know about it
to get it developed and a good ad-
vertising course would bring them
here.
“The hope of the white race’’1
was found wanting and the unde-
feated champion failed to “come
back.” One old Confederate vet-
eran remarked that he fought four
years trying to whip the Yankees
and it was just that a son of a
freed slave of the South should
whip them.
These good rains ought to call
for good roads. We are bound to
have them and some start to that
end should be begun. Our clay
roads wash badly during these
rains and become almost impass-
able.
Judging from the number of
children riding and driving alone
on the streets, the casualties of
the old gentle family horse is like-
ly to be in evidence this summer.
Two weeks from tomorrow the
big local battle will take place and
there will be other cries of “stop
it!” heard from the seconds of our
local champions.
