Mr. R R Clark o&ithe States-
ville Landmark,. and 'member of
tho Dnmocfatic nlatform com
m'ittee; g1Ves the following in
'formation as' to senatorial
' primaries:"
"The .platform committee of
the last Democratic State con
vention,' April 11 adopted the
following in the platform, which
was subsequently adopted oy the
convention:
'We hereby instruct the
- . - - u
State executive committee to
make provisions for the holding
of a primary oil the first Tues
day of next November for'the
selection of a United States
Senator, by the Democratic vot
ers of the State, at which every
eiector who has-voted the Demo
cratic ticket in the State election
shall, be entitled to cast" one vote
for one man for United States
Senator, and the candidate who
receives the maioritv of the
" V
votes so cast in the whole State
shall receive tho support of the
Democratic members of the Leg
islature: and if no candidate
shall receive- a majority then
tho committee shall hold a sec
ond primary at which only the
two highest candidates shall be
balloted for, and the one receiv
ing a majority of the votes so
cast shall receive the support of
the Democratic members of the
Legislature.
"Provided, That if any third
candidate shall receive at the
first primary so hold within 2,500
vdtes of tho second highest can
didate, then in thjvt event tho
three candidates shall be .bal
loted for at the second, primary,
and the one of. the 'three recoiv
ing the highest number of votes

"Every man, Chen, who voted :

gust election i entitled to ex

in the primary at tliC November
election, no matter how ho votes
in November? or whether he

"These aro the facts as they
were understood by the platform

State convention."
As has has been aptly said the
man who sits on a limb and saws
it off is a Solomon compared with
the one w7ho neglects newspaper
advertising and yet thinks he
can successfully compete with
his more wide-awake and enter
nrisinff competitor in business
j who pins his faith to it. Ex.

Limherger Gheesc.
We most heartily agree with
one df our exchanges which says
"Limberger cheese laid away in
cupboards and refrigerators will
drive away aunts." Yes, it will
drive dogs out of a tan yard,
drive a spike through a brick, a
hobo from a meal of victuals, a
mule through a barbed wire
fence, a herd of cattle over a
precipice, a negro from a chick
en roost; yes, it will drive a man
into insanity who stays five min
utes within ten feet of its unsa
vory presence. Yes, sir; it will
drive awayiaunts and also uncles,
and if wTe had any cousins that it
wouldn't drive away we'd bo
tempted to disinherit them, and
yet some men will eat tho stuff
and say it is not good. Salis
