After much tribulation Ihe legis lature not tl'. rough a primary election law which appears to be a pretty good one. I: i.- S' tie wide, and for parties ou the same day. exi t pt for county -fid legislative officers about half ihe counties were exempt ;d from i's operation. Some of these ccun'ies bad local primary laws which they didn't wint to give up and other counties, f.it is their rep resentatives ia the legislature, did not wish to so in for the primary for local o.Tice and for members of the legislature. The members from I'nion had this county excepted from the operation of lh law because we al ready have a l.ical law and because they thought the people preferred a county primary at a later date Trotn the time which the law sets for a gen eral primary, which is to be on the first Saturday la June. There is not likely to be anyc omplaint at their action, we tske it. The law provides that in case (lie people of any of the excepted r-.i- :t ;es wish to come in under the l.-w fir the nomination of county officer.. th.v may, upon peti tion, have an election to decide tliat point. There a;e 'ii sections to the law, and it appears to be well drawn. Tin' more important features are as fol lows: Primary ekvtioas for all partie on the same day. the first Saturday in June of every election year, for the nomination of all State, federal .11 d lounly officer.., except for coun ty and legislative offices in those counties excepted. tfp.te anil fottTi'y boards of elec tions have charse of the election, same as In general elections, and all laws applying to a general election ;ir? to apply to the primary. All ex penses are fi ho paid by the Slate and county ;-s i.i regular election.--, and ail candidates must give notice f tlieir candidacy ia due time, and deposit a fee, to ! (.aid into the pub lic funds. The so.'k- of fees are its fol lows: for Slate juid congressional officers lifty dollars, judges and solic itors, twenty d'lllars, s'ate senators, live dollars, fees lor county offices are live dollar to h paid into the coun'y fundi, evcept candidates for surveyor, corner anil county commis sioners, who shall pay one dollar. Constable and candidates for other township officers are not required to jay anything. In the primary for candidates for president and vice president of the fnited States a plurality vote de termines and only one primary is held. For all other officers a majority of all votes cast is necessary to nomi note, and a second primary is to be held if necessary. Only qualified voters may vote In a primary, and at the time of register ing the voter must say which party he affiliates with and in which prl is.uy lie desires to vote, and he can then vote in no other. But the fact that he votes in the primary of one jiarty shall not prevent his voting any way he choses at the general election. Every candidate must take a pledge to support the noniiness of the party in whose primary he ia a candidate. He must also make a sworn statement of all moneys spent by him or far Mm, both before and after the primary. There shall be an official ballot for ah party, printed and distributed !v ill" election officers, and there Khali be separate boxes for each party. A political party under this act is icr,r.i 1 to 1m un;,- party which had candid.!' f r S'ate officers in the election of lit 1 4, or any new party will, h is ti "".dared to b- a political party by a petition signed by ten thou. and j'ei'H.

The Consul ordered three privet - and Iwo deacons to leave the mis ion and as they were passing tbroi'i h the .-streets they were Insult ed f- n.I mercilesly beaten. "In the court yard of the Orthodox mls-'ott a gibbet was erected. "An American missionary, Mr. Al len, w ho also was subjected to insults and blows, sent two messengers to Selmas to asij for assistance from the HU'sian troops to save the lives of the christians." Mr. Aherm-lhy of M.hii-w 1 Having Womlertul Manifestation f Por in Kalcigh Mitling. News and Observer, Monday. Two great congrt-eatious Sunday hung with breathless interest on the sermons of Ke. J. E. Abernethy at Kd-nton Street Methodist Church. With eloquence and wonderful power he moved and stirred the congrega tion until at the morning service the aisles were thronged with pimple moving to the altar to renew their vows or oiler themselves to Jeus Christ. It wa a Ereat service such as tbe church has seldom seen and again at the evening service others came. A special service that was productive of great results was held lor the young people at the Sunday school hour. The preacher timed the necessity of all who are interested attending the Monday nistht service. The hour is ":ft when the song servict will be gin. The services will continue this week at ":) and 7:f. In his morning sermon Mr. Aber nethy considered some of the facts of a life in Chri.it. basing his remark- on the third V"i-e 01 the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke's uosp. J: "And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true Cod and Jesus Christ whom Tho hast sent." "To be a christian." said Mr. Aber nethy, "is 'o be what you were made to le and to do what you were made to do. It is to fulfill Cod's plan for you. It is the only life worth living, the only life that hangs the bow of promise over the grave. Two Side to Kcligii-n. "There are l sides to religion. the human and the divine. On the divine side there are many problems and mysteries, but on the human side it is so clear an dnatural that the wayfaring man may walk therein. You may say that vou do not believe in the new birth, yet nothing in the natural world can reach its highest state without through some wonder ful change corresponding to conver sion. "Th. re ir- nt mystery in religion, no problem in the Hib'e that can hinder anv man in coming to Christ No man can give a definition of life yet that does not keep us from en- joving it. Life 111 Christ is a ivltgion of experier.ee. A large per cent of the things of this life must be learned by experience, there is 110 other way. Every man who investigates this truth is satisfied with it. "Come and see' is the answer to the skeptic. "Life in Christ is the natural life. Man was made to revolve about Cod as the planets about the sun. The re ligion of Christ is the thing that brings man back from his lost estate to his natural place. There is no new religion, only one that saves. There is only one Cod, one Christ, one salvation. "The christian life is a life of lib erty. Nothing enslaves as muc h as sin. Obedu nee is the way to success and freedom." The f veiling Service. Mr. Abernethy preached to a con gregation that crowded the church at the evening hour from the text: 'Lord I believe, help thou mine un belief." lie spoke of the attitude of the sin- tier w ho came to Christ w ith this cry. He had small faith, but faith enough to come to Investigate this great Uiiestion til salvation and bis faith was enlarged. He bad not only a weak faith but doubts as well. The preacher emphasized his method of approaching Christ. He cried out with tears for be bad bis heart in Ihe proposition. So some of the greatest scientists and scholars of the centu ries have been moved by the things of Cod. The service was concluded by a wonderful Hory out of his own expe rience, dramatically told, of how the spirit of Cod and prayer had worked on a company of desperate outlaws v,ho would by their threats have bro ken up a meeting he was holding and how they were all wonderfully con verted. The congregation listened with brent less interest as the story was told. LOOKS MIGHTY CIXJOMY. (ie( (he (iuiltj .Men. Catawba County News. The unspeakable outrage perpetrat ed at tho home of the negro Goodson Saturday night was a disgrace to Ca tawba county and its law-abiding cit izens. The fact that the victim was a negro dosen't mitigate the heinous- ness of the crime one whit, however much some people may view with tolerance a violation of the law where a negro Is concerned. No effort should be spared to get hold of the men who in the dark of the night deliberately killed a man in cold blood in his own home. If the humblest negro citizen can be butchered in this style and the murderers go free, it won't be long until a whit" man whixe presence Is lindesiduhlc i 1 a community may tt""t ".villi !!;- . a4; fate. When you come to tlii'!; ol it, the crime Is reallv one of ihe v.orsl that lias ever been committed in this county. It belongs to a period of lawlessness which this country let behind years :s'. It was the iict ;l savages and to have made tfhe Job complete thny should have scalped Pink Goodson li would have been in perfect keep ing with their devilish, outrage. CurrrMiHlt'nt Thinks That Trouble Is Ahead lor Cotton I'lanterv Startling Conclusion. It seems by reports from some re liable sources that the rise Id the price of cotton at this particular sea son Is going to put the finish on Southern agriculture. Just so sure as the South relies on cotton in 1915 will there be the greatest calamity this country has yet experienced. Speculators and fertilizer manu facturers are afraid that cotton grow ers were so disgusted with 1911 prices of cotton that they (the grow ers 1 will actually reduce production this vear unless they can be fooled into not dong so. Hence the present rise in price at planting time. Also they are furnishing ti through the press glowing accounts of the enor mous amount of cotton required to make powder to feed the big guns being operated in the European con flict; strange tiny didn't find this out until time for the fanner to plant another crop. We did not hear any thing about demand while we were marketing our fit crop; EXCEPT THEKK WAS NONE. . Whv should we be told now that war creates a demand for cotton to make powder of. when only a few weeks ago we were bent;; told that war had ruined the South's staple product? Simply because this is Planting time; last fa'.l was selling time. Next fall will be selling time again: then we will be told that there is enough of the It'll crop still on hand to supply all demand, con sequtntly your cotton is cheap again. Then we'll see what a fool we are; but we won't remember it till the spring time, so what's the use? The general market situation, so far as cotton is concerned, is in much worse shape now than it was last fall. Ilv another fall it will be In much worse shape than it is now. England is going to get a much deserved thrashing he Tore this conflict is over and England is the world's money renter and price maker. She won't be in m.u'h shape to furnish us a mi l ki t l i-ht off acain; so we better produce something t eat this year, ind if there i- no Market for it We can u.e it out -elves; we can't Uo so with cotton Wi.teli my prediction: if the cot ton lull produces twelve million bales of cotton 1 not to say lit teen million bales) in 1H13 the staple will beg a market at cents per pound. Can we stand that? NOVfS HOMO. tiEX. SCOTT tiOT THEM. Went Out ami Made a Peaceful Cai- tu iv of Indian Outlaws. Washington Dispatch, March 21. A laconic telegram came to the War Department today front Brig. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Chief of btaff it DltilTe. I'tah, announcing that the General was bringing in the four In- ans who recently led a band of their tribesmen on the war path when the federal authorities attempted to ar rest Tse-Ne-Gat for murder. The message addressed to Secretary Gar rison said: "Successful. Have four flutes de ired by Marshal Nebeker and am, at their desire, personally conducting them to Salt Lake City to turn over to Marshal Nebeker. Am leaving ev everything peaceable behind us in Southern I'lalt. Should reach Thomp son Tuesday and Salt Lake City Wed nesday." Secretary Garrison, gratified and relieved of more anxiety than he had ared to confess at once dispatched the following to the General: "I heartily congratulate you. 1 ap preciate your work in the highest degree." Newspaper dispatches last night told of General Scott's arrival at Itlufl with the four Indians. Tse-Ne- Gal and his father. "Old Polk." Chief Posey and Hie hitter's son. The party rode in just day after Gen eral Scott, unarmed and accompanied only by an orderly and two Navahoe scouts, had started off on a snow-covered mountain trail for the distant hiding place of the flutes. The General went to the scene af ter the Indians had driven off a posse headed by Marshal Nebeker w hich un dertook to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat. One member of the posse and two Indians were killed in the battle. Some of the older oflcers at the War Iepartment shook their heads gloomily and re called harrowing experiences of their own in the Indian country when the Chief of Staff undertook this mission. General Scott started out cheerfully, however, confident of success and scouting the idea that he was risk ing his life.
