In one of the most spirited contests in the primary here Tuesday something- close to 2,800 votes were cast for the four candidates for mayor. The councilmen also received a like lumber of votes in total. The sr.cressful ones who enter the election are: F. N Tate, with a total 1,120 votes and J. VV.

There are many good lea.ions why the primary election resulted as above and shows that sometimes "overnight" or within a short time things change for this or that man and produce dif ferent results. But whether this or thst nan nominated or elected is the nan, is not always the case, in fact there are other influences outside oJ merit that often wins elections. Or ganization and a combination of influ- uiees win sweep tne Dest iaia pians aside when directed against unorgan ized influences etc. B the people have spoken and it is the people that rule and in the final analysis- they are responsible for the way the vote goe so here the mat 1 v rests as far as this paper is con cerned. - -. .

According to those ac quainted with the circumstances, it is remarkable that any occupant of the building escaped instant death.

"You sent him to us over a year day at the post of duty, a martyr to law enforcement The splendid thing about him is that he did not confine his activities to the crapshooters and the petty offender on the outskirts f the town. No respector of persons was he. The townsman drunk in fine clothes was led away as promptly as the fellow in rags guilty of a similar offense. The gambler and high class bootlegger riding in fine cars were feeling his power. He was trailing them to lairs. This accounts for his (dead body there.

As a result of his badly vvollen digit, it is likely the player will remain here to await the return of Pierre and his company from South Carolina. Roman made, such a good showing with Jack Dunn during the train ing season that the Oriole boss was reluctant to let him go, but under the agreement with the local club, Mike may be recalled, should his services be required. The class he showed while on the training trip of the Ori oles practically assures Kohian a reg- His comedy antics will be "Welcomed by fans all over the circuit. The Baltimore papers have, some nice things to say about Michael. His departure, it sems, leaves a big hole in the "Oriole Camp, at least so far as the life of the club is concerned. We quote some of the paragraphs: "Roman's comedy was one of the pleasing 'features of the spring train ing season, and it was with genuine regret that 'he other Orioles saw him leaving for the Piedmont league. But Mike, may be back some day. That all depends on his showing this sea son. "The going of Roman will be re gretted, although Jack Dunn is send ing Mike away with a stout string at tached. The Oriole leader is of the opinon that a year in a smaller league will do Roman considerable good, and that he should be a vastly improved player at the end of the season." One of Roman's chief laugh-getters is walking on his hands, a feat he per formed descending the marble stair way in a hotel this spring. His antics will be worth the price of admission to Welch field.

Without a doubt, it was one of the greatest days in the history of the Friends church, and Mrs Barr stated last night that the. accomplishments of the week had been pleasing to her.

MiMing uur aavertiser $1.50 a Year To Be All Gone O'er Again in Detail Mrs. Varner Gets New Trial Through Ruling by Judge Boyd Judge James E. Boyd, of the Unit ed States district court, Monday set aside the verdict of the jury in the' case of Mrs. Florence C. Varher against her husband, Henry B. Var ner, wealthy business and nvspaper man, of Lexington. The verdict was returned on February 26 and was set aside in Greensboro Monday on the ground that conditions in formation of the jury and thje conduct of officers was not the best. The decision was reached bv Judp- Boyd after he had listened to argu ments by attorneys on both sides, the pleadings having begun on Monday morning. E. T. Cansler, chief counsel for the defendant, made a motion that the next trial be held in some other di vision of the district. . Mr. Cansler expressed the belief thatit would be impossible to form an impartial jury because of so much interest having been shown in the case. Judge Boyd readily agreed with what Mr. Cansler said and immediately granted the re quest. He instructed the attorneys to get together on the question and de cide upon some place. Salisbury, Asheville and Charlotte were mention-, ed, but none had been selected as yet. It appears that Charlotte would be the most suitable place for con ducting the next trial and it is thought probably that the Queen City will be. selected. After the arguments had been heard, Judge Boyd discussed the case and the cloud that had been cast upon the verdict of the jury. lie sakf the vedict was not rendered 'against the greater weight of the testimony as charged by attorneys for the plaintiff. It was also stated by the jurist that the letter received from Mr. Yar ned stating that he was mistaken in the dates while testifying was of ma terial importance. Mr. Varner said he was mistaken when he testified that his wife had not visited Salt .Lake City since 1906. Mrs. Varner said she went there in 1917. The action' of Deputy Marshall Gar ner in permitting C. W. Edwards and G. C. Thomas, the latter a brother of E J. Thomas, member of the jury, to enter the jury room at the hotel was . also denounced by- Judge oyd, who said the object of Ipekingthe men up was to pepeSofflf Irom obtain ing communication with the men. The jurist next referred to Deputy Marshall C. T Eoane, a man who was recognized by Judge ' Boyd as a straightforward man, and an officer who performed his duties efficently, but if he had made the remarks he was charged with making he was guil ty of imprudence. Affidavits were made by three ne gro barbers that the deputy marshal, while in their shops with jury, de clared that Mrs. Vamer was guilty. Ten jurors signed affidavits that they did not hear the remark, while one juror, M. C. Reeves, declared he heard the statement but that it had no influence over him. Col. Bruce Craven in "Seeing North Carolina They say there is no mboney in North Carolina with which to pro duce $10,000,000 for necessary public improvements, and hence they have to go to New York and pay exorbitant ! rates of interestt o get it. If you be lieve any such bosh as that, just pause and listen to a few carefully selected facts. North Carolina today has $48, 000,000 invested in United States gov ernment boids paying 4 per cent in terest, on which this week $1,000,000 in interest will be paid. I am one of these bondholders ancfl would b glad to dispose of my liberty bonds at mar ket prices and take state 6 per cent bonds in place of them at par.

Nnw can you figure out why the state could not encourage thrift and safe investment by placing the state 6 per cent bonds at home ? One reason is that the banks are opposed to tieing up their, depositor's money at the legal rate of 6 per cent when tfaey could be U3ing it for nothing. Another is that the nhnut the onlv other reason is that this plain, common sense business just doesn't sound as big as going to the Waldorf-Astoria to 'sound" the money money market.
