PRIMARY SATURDAY. Next Saturday the Democrat*'©/ North Carolina will have their first experience with a legalized pri mary. This la an election to choose the candidates to be voted (or at the next general election. In Alamance it Will be purely a Democratic primary, as the Repub licans have named their candidates, or rather have only one candidate for an ottice. If the Republicans had more than one candidate for an office they would at the same time vote on a choice—when there ia but one candidate for an office no one is voted for in the primary. Both Democrats and Republicans will vote for candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President. Tickets will be at all the polling places with the names of the candi dates printed thereon and the ; Voter will mark or indicate on the i ticket the candidate he wishes to ( vote for in tho general election. | That candidate receiving the re- i quired majority will bo the can- | didate to be voted for in the No- I vembor election. As to county candidates thepri- i mary does not apply .to Alamance, and therefore the county candi- I dates will be named in mass- 1 convention as heretofore. i Mr. Ch*r D. Johnston Not a Can didate. At the earnest solicitation of tlie j Director! of the Christian Orphan age at Elon College Mr. Chaa. D. Johnston has agreed to accept the Superintendency of that institution, abd doea not expect to bo a candi date again thia year for the office of Register of Deeds. That Mr. Johnston will not be a candidate ia a very great disappoint ment to his friends throughout the oounty. For the twelve years that lie has held the office he has had the support of many others than Demo crats. lie baa discharged the duties of the office ao well and so courteous ly and obligingly that aa an officer lie has made himself next to india pensible. Not a few of his friends yet hope he will reconsider and allow them the privilege and pleaaure of elect ing him to the office of Itegister of Deeds again.

Bickett and Daughtridge Re ply to the Questions Propounded By Farmers' Union. The Publicity Committee of the State Farmers' Union lias Bent out the answers of Messrs. T. W. Bickett and E. L/ Daughtridge, candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor, concerning the eleven mat ters of State legislation advocated by the organized farmers of the State. "The quostions were mailed by Sec retary Faires on April 12th," the committee reports, "a 30-day time limit being later fixed for replies. Mr. Bickett answered on ApriJ 27th and Mr. Daughtridge answered May 19th." Following is a summary of the questions and answers, Mr. I Jaughtridge's answers being given in full and Mr. Bickett's slightly condensed : (1) "Repeal of merchant's crop lien.' Mr. Bickett's answer: Believes in providing a substitute for tho crop lien by "enacting legislation that { will make it easier for the honest, industrious and economical tenant to get cash to buy such supplies as he cannot make at home. '• Also 1 favors a campaign to make crop liens unnecessary by diversified farming 1 encouraged by (1) agriculture in the schools, (2) better farming methods, and (3) government aid to help farmers to more profitable marketing of their crops. Mr. Daughtridge's answer: '1 favor tho repeal of the merchant's, ( crop lien as soon aa a rural credit ' system or some other satisfactory substitute can be established in the rural communities of our State. I have for several years furnished my tenants and farm help the oash at the legal rate of intereat and they purchase their supplies wherever they like." (2) "Provisions permitting neigh borhoods to adopt race segregation in land ownerahip." Mr. ltickett's answer : Expresses sympathy with "farmers in white communities wh>, asserting that a homogeneous population ia necessary for tho proper support of schools, churches and rural community life, complain that absentee ownors often introduce negro land owners into neighborhoods that would otherwise remain wholly in white hands," but believes thst in order to avoid con flict with the Federal constitution any amendment to our constitution would have to be framed on con siderations of residence rather than land ownership. Also believes that "communities tn the country can do much towards establishing practical segregation of the nros, just as has been done in cities, by developing healthy public sentiment." Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I fa vor the same wherever it can be done without violating the rights of either race as guaranteed them by our con stitution." (3) "A just and equitable system of taxation, (a) lightening the bur deps upon labor by putting a larger proportion on inheritances, (b) with constitutional provision for a lower •ate on reaident than on absentee landloids and (c) increased rate on land held out of use." Ur. Bickett'a answer: "I am cer tainly in favor of a just and equit able syatem of taxation and favor every reasonable and just measure thst will tend to lighteu the burdens upon labor by putting a larger tax Ever Salivated by Calomel I Horrible I Calomel is Quicksilver and Aits like Dynamite on Your Kidneys.

Democratic Candidate for Governor. on inheritances, and that will en courage the division of our lands into smaller farms." Mr. Daughtridgo's answer: "I favor a just and equitable system of taxation " (4) "Povision for incorporating rural communities." Mr. answer : "Heartily in favor of it." Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I am for any thing which will help the , people of the rural communities, and which they desire." (s)."lnitiative and referendum." Mr. Bickett's answer: "Have no ( objection to principle, but am of the opinion that it would ±6 cumber , some." Mr, Daughtridge's answer: "Our , frequent elections makes this unnec- { essary in our State. Ours is a repre- , sentative from of government." , (0) "A stringent anti-usury law, and laws regulating banks as public- | service corporations." ( Mr. Bickett and Mr. Daughtridge both declare for this. (7) "Giving some official authority to regulate insurance rat Mr. Bickett's answer: "I am in fa vor of such State supervision of in- , surance companies as will secure to the people juat and equitable rates and insurance that really insures " Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "1 favor the general prnpoaition, provided all proper interests are safeguarded (8) "A State warehouse system somewhat like the Soth Carolina plan." Mr. Bickett's answer: "I think a State warehouse system on the Souih Carolina plan eminently desirable." Mr. Daughtridge's answer: "I favor a Stato warehouse system." (0) "A simplified and popularized Worrens system af registering land titles." Both candidates favor this. (10) "Provision for furnishing text books to the people at cost." Both candidates endorse this prin ciple. (11) "Requiring retained attor neys of public service corporations to lever such connections before enter ing the Legislature." Mr. Bickett's answer: *1 think the people can be safely trusted to pass on these qtialifi-ations." Mr. Daughtridge's answer: I think the fitness of a representative should be left to the pcoplo whom he repre sents to decide.' In concluding his answers, Mr liickett says: "I want to do work for the men and the w men out on the fanns that will at least resemble the work done by Aycock for the children in the school room. To thia end the nearest and dearest object of my administration, if I am elected Governor, will be to convert tenanta of North Carolinr into land lords. As a private citizen I have been able to do thia for a few people: as Governor of North Carolina 1 have a great faith that I can do it for thouaands." WHAT ROOSEVELT MAY DO. Chairman Charles D. miles of the Republican national committee ex presses the opinion that the plat form adopted by the national con vention neit week will deal only with the most vital public ques ' tions. i In speaking of probable ac tion of the Progressive national convention called for Juno 7 in Chi cago, Chairman Miles said: "1 imagine everybody assumes ' that the Progressives wiil nominate i Roosevelt for President. If the Re-. \ publican convention adopts a ; straightforward, ringing declaia . tlon of the vital public questions now being discussed, and nominates a man clearly equal to the impor tant tasks which will confront our r next President might not I think there would be any need of his entering the field. But if the Republicans nominate a man who | Mr. Roosevelt thinks is a misfor tune and adopts a platform which he regards as "bunk", he may feel so outraged as to run, and perhaps help re-elect President Wilson.

RaleighNewsLetter Special Correspondence. >. Raleigh, N. C. f May 30—It seem* reasonably certain that the State primary to be held Satur day, June 3, will fail to settle the candidacies of some of the aapir atits for State offices and that a second primary will be necessary, under the provisions of the new law, to decide who shall be de clined the nominees of the Demo cratic party. This condition of course is caused by the multi plicity of candidate and will prob ably necessitate another vote in three of the congressional dis tricts also. The positions for which a second primary may become necessary' to nominate candidate are thoiSe of Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Commissioner of Agri culture, and Congressmen in the sixth, seventh and tenth districts, in which three districts there are lifteeu aspirants to be voted for June 3d. liiblat on Second Primary. Col. "Coot" Jones followed the load of Col. Hartness in. suggest ing to the other five gentlemen competing for the offices of Attor ney General and Secretary of State that all agree to let the nomina tions go to the men receiving the highest vote in the first pri mary. The friends of Assistant Attor ney General Calvert and Secretary of State Grimes think that offer 1 was a clever little political play, but too thin to hide lis transpa rent purpose. It is evi lent, they 1 nay, that as Messrs. Jones and Hartness are, respectively, the only candidates from the west for those positions, they will poll about as many votes in the first as they could in the second primary, while the vote in . the central and eastern counties will be divided between the other candidates in the first primary. If Mr. Calvert and Col. (Jrimes are candidates in ihe second primary (provided they are not winners in the first, which is not improbable, their friends claim) they will get the bulk of the vote polled in the first one for the candidates forced to drop out. This argument sounds reasonable and therefore it was no surprise whetf"TtJe Jones and llartness proposition was de clined. Major Graham Willing. The friends of Major VV. A. Gra ham, the present Commissioner of Agriculture, say that they are not anticipating a second primary for that nomination; that they feel confident that Major Graham will have a clear majotity over both of his competitors, and that they are certain of such a result, if a large vote is polled, and his friends do not take too much for granted and, in their feeling of security, fall to vote in the primary Satur day. Jhat Major Graham has made a most active and efficient officer is noi to bo disputed. News paper men and others here brought iuto close contact with the official conduct of State officers, know this to bo true, and they know also that the "Old Confederate?' is a younger man today in physical and mental activity thau many iiton of their acquaintance who have not reached the half-century mark of birthday anniversaries. Neverthless, Majdr Graham has mailed the following reply to Mr. Mclviminon: "Dear Sir:—Yours of 24th May i is to hand. While I soe no prob ability of the State being put to ( any expense by a second primary in the nomination of a Democratic candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture, I will agree to your proposition." The gubernatorial and State treasurership nominations will, of course, be settled within the next four days, as there are only two candidates for each place contend ing. Gov. Daughtridge's friends say they are now more hopeful of success than at any timfe dnring the campaign. One of the most interesting de velopments of the past few weeks has been the manifest growth of the feeling for Mann for treasurer. Peoplo have been bringing the news here from various parts of the State to that efect and his friends to day declare that he will poll a very heavy vote aud they are looking for him to win. Capt. Mann has now about recovered front the Illness which kept him in a hospital here for several weeks, But he is not able to travel and he says that he is de pending on his friends to do the handsome thing by Sat urday. He'rt e The State lly Selecting The Beat Man. Commissioner of Insurance Young, Commissioner of Labor and Jointing Shipinan, and Cor poration Commissioner Lee, neither of whom is confronted by serious or significant opposition, are expected to be renominated by overwhelming majorities. Nevertheless, they are awake to the danger of apathy on the part jof voters and that'of over-confl ! donee, aud they have not failed to ask thei# friends to not allow either to stand in their way of go ■ ing to the polls next Saturday. - It appears to be the concensus of - opinion hereabouts that' the Democratic voters, who realize p what are the requirements and exactions for the efficient dis | charge of the duties of these re sponsible and important positions, are not going to vote to dispense with the services of such capable * officials ar Yonng, Lee and Ship it man. For there is a growing dis >, position among the people to ap i. ply business methods in thd selec ] tions of their servants charged with the 'Work of the State anp , choose those most competent and i best fitted to perform it properly and to the beet advantage and in terests of the public and the Com monwealth. v* t - A.

Most housewives could be fright ened into hysterics if they "saw one of their children playing with a loaded shot gun. Yet some of those same woiqen will thought lessly undertake dry-cleaning in the kitchen with gasoline. Using a bowl or pan of gasoline in the kitchen is about as harmless a pastime as playing football with a can of nitroglycerine. ' A firm which manufactures a compound used with gasoline for dry-cleaning is advertising its product extensively iu this coun try under such headlines as "Housewives "Save $5 by Using Gasoline." "A Good Way to Col lect Your Life Insurance" would have been a more appropriate heading.—Henderson Dispatch.

The table in this issue, pr par ed by Mr. W. B. Cobb of Wayne county, ranks the counties of North Carolina according to the investment of white populations in white public school property. The fignres are based ou the last reportof the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, 1913-'l4. Negro populations and negro school property are eliminated in order to show the relative interest of the counties iu the education of white children alone. N The table shows what counties are most interested in thiß matter, where the investments are liberal, and where they are meagre—in some instances disgracefully meagre! ' forward and Kearward Counties. The ten counties that lead are Durham, Craven, New Hanover, Wake, Moore, Johnston, Pas quotank, Cherokee, Richmond, and Mecklenburg, in the order in dicated. 1 Fifty-four counties are below the State average Qf $5.10. Fourteen counties have less than half the State average of per capita investment in white public school property. Named in de scending order, they are Madison, , Davie, Chatham, Brunswick, Ma con, Dare, Stokes, Clay, Alexan der, Ashe, Graham, Polk, Yad kin, and Terrell. Tyrrell foots the list with 44 cents and Yadkin is next to last with $1.14. Some Surprises. /Craven stands ahead of all the big city-counties, Durham alone excepted. Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Bun combe. and Guilford are all wealthy couuties, but they are out ranked by Moore, Johnston, Pas quotank, » Cherokee, and Rich mond. Moore stands 93rd in per capita rural wealth, but sth in public school enterprise. Cherokee leads all the mountain counties. It is among the half dozen poorest counties in the State, but >u per capita public school property it stands among the 10 leading counties. Alleghany is the richest county in North Carolina in per capita rural wealth, but it falls to the 66th place in school enterprise. Macon county, on a per capita basis, has more than twice as much invested in motor cars as in school property. And Tyrrell more than five times as much! Scotland ranks 2nd iu per capita rural wealth, but only 23rd in white school property-. Robeson which leatls the State in the annual production of total farm wealth is outranked by 28 counties in school interest. Pasquotank leads the counties of the Albemarle country. Orange the seat of the State University ts not first in public school enterprise, but 60th. Rowan and Davidson have long been centers of culture, but iu per capita investment in white public school property their rank is 02nd and 63rd. The Mountain Counties. In public school property, on a per capita basis, the mountain counties rank as follows: Chero kee Bth, Buncombe 13th, Tran sylvania 32nd, Henderson 46th, Haywood 53rd,. Alleghany 66th, Swain 68th, Yancey 81st, Madisou 82nd, Macou 86th, Clay 89th, Ashe 91st, and Graham 92nd. Watau is omitted for lack of population figures. I MotorCara Ahead of Schools. In total investment on June 30, : 1915, twenty-seven of our counties had more money in motor cars ' than in school property, aud in 14 1 counties more, the two invest ments were nearly equal. ■ 1 On a per capita basis the iug counties were ahead in motor , cars and behind in white public school properly: Guilford, Scot land, Currituck, Martiri; Rowan, Davidson, Macon, and Tyrrell. Leadership County. Some of the counties that lead | in school iuterest and enterprise are the poorest in the State. Macon and Moore, for instance, rank 93rd aud 94th in per capita , rural wealth, but they rise to the , sth and Bth places in their willing ness to sacrifice for the education i of their children. Evidently these two counties are dowered with both leadership and discipleship. Oil the?other hand, some of our richest counties in per capita rural j wealth rank lowest in public school , enterprise. Alleghany, for instance, leads , the State in the first particular ; and drops to the 66th place in the second; Ashe falls from the sth to . the 91st place, and Greene from ' the 7th to the 72nd place. In these and many other coun ties there is evidently a lack of capable leadership, or of willing discipleship, or both. Their 1 wealth is greater than their wil -1 lingness to use it in behalf of their " children. L> ; You Can Core That Backache. Pain along the back, dlulneM, headache * and fenneral languor.
