INDIANA HQLDS flRST PRIMARY
Washington, Jan. 24-, That this is

7. activities of various state and politi-
cal committees which are issuing calls
for county, district and state "conven
ions, apportioning the delegates, and
I making othet necessary jirangements
' that ere preliminary to every politi
cal primary "and election, campaign.
Practically every state will hold state
primaries or conventions
elections, this year,
In addition to state elections, the
entire, the entire membership, of the
House of Representatives, and 33 out
of 96 United States senators are to
be elected. '
The majority of states hold state
wide primaries for the nomination of
United States senators, boh parties
holding their nominating election
- -on the same day.
. The first state to hold a primary is
Indiana ( which, oh May 2d, vill nom
inate RepuMktvi and Democratic can
" didates for the United States Sennte.

tion to succeed himself.
On May 16th Pennsylvania holds
7 ita state primary, at which time both
Republicans and Democrat! will nom
inate two candidates for the United

sary by the recent deaths of boh Sen
" aon Senators Knox and ?enroee
whose places are now being temporar
VYi filled by gubernatorial appoint
. vents pending the selection of their
iuetessort by the people at the gener
t I election next Novnmber.
. The term of Senator Knox would
7. hate expired March, 1923, and un-
; , doubtedly he would have had no op-
position in the Republican primaries
this year to be hia own successor.
Senator Penrose was elected for tlx
jeers las tNovember that whoever

nrartically a complete term,
7 The following are the dates of

MARKER'S ISLAND IS .
" RATHER TOO WET.
A well known citizen informed the
News recently that, there is" entirely
too much whiskey drinking going on
there to comport with the usual peace
and dignity of that community-: He
stated that selling and drinking in
toxicants are uroceeding freely and
that it is geting' the people, on the
island in bad habit?, or some of;
them at any rate. It-is reported tha
grown men drink freely but that some
of the small, boys have been seen in
a drunken condition.
vThis ra of weetness -on Horker's
Island seems to have started with the
iovery of the cast off booze at Cape
Look out just before Christmas and
which was , aliegd,to be part of the
cargo of the Venturer. There is no
dispute of the fact that a large quan
lyvof whiskey was thrown overboard
a tCape Lookout and that it was sal
vaged by various persons and has been
freely sold and drunk in Beaufort,
Mdrehead City, Harker's island and
elsewhere. .A considerable quanity
of this whiskey found its way to New
Eern so the reports say. There hav
ing been a shortage ofrye whiskey
in these parts for several years there
was, a big demand forthe salvaged liq
uorand as a consequence the demand
for the home made goods dropped con
siderably. Besides the liquor found
at Cape Lookout another lot was dis
covered in the Inland Waterway near
Adams Creek and this was promptly
confiscated by the finders so the tale
goes. It is said that tne latter 10c
consisted largely of Scotch and this
fact added considerably to the excite
ment of the morraly stunted. ,
The Harkers Islander who meniton-
ed the matter to the Nws did so with
tha hone hat nublicitv. would helD to
stop the nuisance.' Court meets next
' r m
week and he hopes, that the county
officials and the grand jury. will take
some action that, will stop the law
breaking on the island. It may be
said also that many citizens in Beau-
fort are dUturbed-at the conditions i
which have existed here for som
weeks.
x WHAT IS MUSCLE SHOALS j
Why so much talk about Muscle
Shoals! What to it? Question of
this type are frequently heard, and
it is doubtful if many persons have
an accurate conception of the impor
tance of this project
' Muscle Shoals Is a series of rapids
or shoals in he Tennessee River near
Florence, Alabama.
The shoals extend a distance of 37
mllei, and the fall in that distance ia
134 feet
The width between lank varies
from 1000 to 9600 feet Tbe cur
rant ia very rapid, the slope is as great
a 15 per cent In certain places.
