't Democrats and Republicans Preparing for State Primary CATS AND DOGS NOT WORST THINGS EATEN kazen on the Volga, Fab. 21.—The famine in the Spassky conton of this frovince has iaused some of the peo ple to the eating of cats, dogs and the flesh of frozen or starved horses and cattle. While yet the exception, the plight of the Hamidulline family in the vil lage of Tigulbaelf shown mhat the winter may bring to the whole vil lage. . The father and head of the family died in the spring of starvation Then his wife and two sons, 10 and 18 years old, took to the fieldn and ate the remains of starved cattU?. Then they killed and ate the house cut. As they found they could live on such food, they ate dozens of catr in the village, and when this supplj was exhausted, wandered away. Their whereabouts itt 110 longer known to the other villagers who still each have a few handsful of acorn and potato bread. The villa#? council of Selo has cer tified to 1 W Warren, the American relief district superintendent, that Gregory IvanotT fed his family on dog meat until his wife and two children died. Cases- arc officially erported in which the people ate worse food than cats and dogs. The population in this canton in 11)20 was 2:i3,6t)6 persons. Now it is estimated at 184,116. The liffervnce is accounted for by twenty thousand deaths and thirty thousand who fled. The entire crop is giveii at about eight million pounds or about one-tenth o' a pound of bread per day for each person. Mack bread is 10,000 rubles a pound The price of a. pound of a mixture of tcoins, bark, lev", and pigweed, to be used as bread is one-third that of u | i.und of blacl. bread. Pig>veed is telling for 2,000 ruble-. a pound. Mi'i y intestinal illnesses have been •h .i'.t by ea;i'{ sutb fo I, ui.td 0 is estimated that 60 to 70 pec cent of the population is suffering from scurvy, dropsy and gvneral exhaust'ol. The people have sold oit their person al property and real estate in order to buy food. The various relief organuatioi s-in ; eluding the American, are daily dis tributing, through kitcheps, about thirty thousand rations.

Just one week ago today God took our loved one away, Ho placed her in that lonely grave; lleneath the cold and clodded clay. Three long years that she did suffer of pain, HO trow and woe llut yet, she HO patiently waited, I'nti Itho hour for her to go How sail it was, the pail'iij;.

I.—The state execu tive. comnutKes of both the Demo cratic and Republican parties Will as semble in Raeligh next week to ar range ofr the campaign this year. Tha Republicans are to meet Wednesday, March Bth and the emocratc one later, 9th instant. They will issue for mal calls for the state conventions, both of which will be held in Raleigh, in April or May. It has been suggested that inas much as only one state officer (chair man of the State Corporation Com mission) is to be elected this year, the State Election oßard could declai* the nominee, if only one qualifies, without the expense of a state primary to nom mate only one man. As yet there has been no formal announcement that uny other Democrat is seeking the nomination District Congressmen and Judge* Hut while only one state officer is involved (assuming there will be ao oppoition to Supreme Court Justice Adams, recently appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Jus tice Allen) u new legislature iu its entirety, ten congressmen, several su perior court judges and solicitors, and county officers in all the counties are to be chosen in oNvember. These, of course, will be named in the respective district primaries and county primar ies or conventions. While we mil vote for Superior Court judges we have ntt voice in nominating them, except the one in our judicial district. The nomination of a congressman in the Kaleigh (4) district is enlisting some interest at present. Congress man Ed W. Pou is now serving his eleventh term (22 years) and it la possible that he may have opposition this year, or he may not seek another term. Solicitor Herbert E Norris, of "Wake, who has announced that he would not be candidate to solicitor a gain, is expected to become a candi date for Congress, and if he does it is possible others may enter the pri mary. Many would like to vote for Col. Alhrrt I, Cox, of Raleigh and there may be others. UMtfre«Hni a n-at -Large Congressman Rob Daughton, it is understood, will not run again, and Walter (I'ete) Murphy, of Rowan may get another chance In that dis trict instead of running for congress man-atlai ge. One. prospect is disheartening to North Carolina people, and that is the unfavorable outlook as to a congress man-at-large being provided for by Congress. We all hoped to see t>n. Julian S Carr realize his wish, and it is hoped that the necessary pro.'faion will yet be iixtde by giving this state the additional representative we would be entitled to under reapportionment.
