'Carson City,"Nev., Aug. 8. Neva da's new primary laivv was tried out for the first time today, the voters of all parties balloting for delegates to their respective State conventions. The results are awaited with intense interest., since the primary marks the beginning of what promises to be one of the most notable political cam paigns in the history of the State. The big prize to be fought for in the November election will be the United States Senatorship now held by Key Pittman. Setaator Pittman is a can didate for renomination on the Dem ocratic ticket. He is not without op position in his own party, however, and his chances of returning to Wash ington are further imperilled by a "united Republican -party which is planning to put up a hard fight to encompass his defeat. Other factors that will add to the interest and un certainty of the coming election will "be the vote of the women, who are to exercise their ballot rights for the first-time in Nevada, and the increas ing strength of the Socialitst party.

I With the advent of August the ma- larial -bearing mosquito becomes more active than ever. All this section of A on n Carolina irom nowan county to the sea is more or less menaced by this easiest of preventable di- eases. The degree of danger depends I entirely upon the intelligence and! vigilance of the individual commnni- ties in their efforts at prevention. Now that tbe heavy summer rains are probably for the most part over, the hot days and nights of the next two months mean that anopheles mo- quitoes will breed by the bulion. The State Board of Health sue:- gests that the people of every village, several years, has gizen up the work, comumnity and small town (and and wilfleave tomorrow for CLarlotte, city where there is no live health de- where he will do similar work for the partment), take a day off and see that South Atlantic Waste Co. every ditch, filled up branch or other Messrs.

Bntton looked afar off and saw a great light. Scanning the horizon it was revealed to him that the facts in the case suggested this: "At last we see the light! Bofchi Editor Santford Martin, of the Win ston-Salem Journal, and Editor Al Fairbrother, of the Greensboro Rec ord are showing off in the poet class perhaps with the desire to be elected as Pe laureafe oi tue otate ress Association which meets at Durham next week. Brother William Laurie Hill will have to look to his fences at the rate the Winston-Salem and Greensboro editors are hurling verse at each other.,' ' Aye, Britton it is true. As true as love or life or death. Colonel Mar tin is jealous of our art he tries to discredit us, thinking we are running in the first primary for Poeit Lariat being inasmuch as how fweused to be a cowboy in the wild and woolly west where the osier sighs to the sage brush and the Wichita Yellow Dog sleeps. But if he were to search the archives of the ibloomin' North Carolina Press he will find fthat we are not a member of that distinguished organization; that years ago we refused with justi fied indignation and picturesque im precation the, alluring offers of free lunch and rebuked with withering scorn John B. Sherrill iwh'o was then, who is now, and who will always be, Secretary. Therefore Colonel Martin has the field to himself if 'be wants to be Poet Laureat and do stunts like our old college chum, Lord Alfred Tennyson, did in England. And we want it known that we have opened a verse bailing factory that it is our purpose and our intention to hurl at Colonel Martin more verses that ' he ever saw that this will be done while he is living and after his demise we shall haunt him mith ragged rhyme. He has attempted,; no matter if un successful, to discredit our art- and the man who does that must suffer. We are just now standing him with the. Boy who stoocTbn the burning deck Close by the larboard side . And calmlv told the second mate He'd take his chicken fried. And it was for this deed of heroism ordering fried chicken wihen the old boait was just about to go to pieces 'that this boy, the son of Colonel Cas abianca, of the port of entry of Winston-Salem that we exploit him and expect to make him one of our im mortals and Colonel Martin must stand for it. . If a baseball manager owned all the pastimers in the world he would still want "just one more winning pitcher', or "another good hitter'- and he would win the pennant. , An acquaintance asks the interest ing quesuon, ere are our Amer- . ican patriot xaunttng for gold of ceurse. . - ' ' FOREST HILL NEWS.

With 24 hours of lasting and prayer, orthodox Jews the world over are today engaged in a solemn observance of Tisha b'Ab, the ninth day of the Jewish month of Ab, known as the "Black Fast," in contradistinction to Yom Kippur, which is designated the "White Fast." This day of mourning com memorates "three fateful days in the history of Israel the destruction of the first and second temples in Jeru salem and, in later times, the expul sion of the Jews from Spain, in 1492. The day is observed only by orthodox congregations, the Lamentations of JerCmiah being read in synagogues. Hughes Invades the Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 9. Tonight the Twin Cities are to extend to Charles E. Hughes, Republican nomi nee for President, the first of the series of demonstrations planned for him in the Northwest. The visit -is the first that Mr. Hughes has paid to this section of the country since 190S, when he made a Western cam paign tour for President Taft. In both St. Paul and Minneapolis, in both of which cities he is to deliver speeches tonight, the business sec tions are displaying a profusion of flags and bunting in honor of the dis timruished visitor.

Mr. Hughes' Speech. The Robesonian. The speech in New York Monday nigni oi 3i r, Lnaries j. xiugnes in accepting the Republican nomination for the "presidency would make more than a solid page of type in The Rob esonian. More than half of it is de voted to criticism of President Wil son '8 policy in dealing with Mexico and the European situation and pr paredness. These criticisms strike us as rambling and uneonvincinz. Mr. Hughes did not overlook anything that he could possibly criticise, bu in attempting to tell how better thcM problems could have been met he deals in generalities and fails to tel just what should have been done. Ht seems to arrive finally at the concht ion that the same things Presiden Wilson has done should have brcn done in a different way. He does not think much of -the President's preparedness policy an seems to think that the Democrat! party should have done more t make the country prepared during the past three years than the Rentib lican party did during the forty year prior to three years ajn. Of coutm it is true that the Democratic ad ministration has done more during the past three years in the way o constructive legislation than the Republican partv did in the fortv years, but it would seem to be . .ex pecting too much to expect more in that short time along all lines. - rr. Hughes throws up his hand-s and surrenders on the woman suf frage bu!5iness. He nys it i n use to fiirht it, (hat it is lound to corne and that more harm will conic from agitation that will surely he kept up than will eome from immed iately granting" the demands of iho suffragists; so he is in favor of it. If we were yearning for the victory of the Republican partv and had been looking forward to 'this deliv erance from Mr. Hughes for com fort we should be disappointed; it is. we are delighted. 1 that is the best or the worst that the Re publican candidate for President can cio to the present administration, it is t rejoice. ; 'f tt.- j.
