Theforegoing tells tersely the result of the Democratic pri
mary held last Saturday, June 3rd, 1922. It shows that while W
'ErBrock for Judge carried Richmond county by majority, and
carried five of the six counties of the district, still the big majority
Mr. A. M. S(ck received in Union county was enough to overbal

Don Phillips made a fine run for Solicitor and it is likely that
he will be the nominee. He received about 7900 votes, to about
4200 for Russell, 3700 for Nash and 1400 for Tarlton. Mr. G. H.
Russell has the privilege of asking for a second primary, but up to
the time Of going to press the Post-Dispatch has been unable to
learn whether or not he will run again. He made a strong fight,

county Phillips received 1832, to 1356 for Nash, 613 for Russell and
117 for Tarlton. In Scotland county Phillips had a lead over Rus

Local News Appeals.
The Post-Dispatch makes a
specialty of Richmond county
and local news. The majority of
our readers take daily papers and
keep up in a measure with the
state and world events; and so
this paper tries to cover the local
neia as ctose as possible. A glance
through these eight pages show
you a well balanced local paper.
By the way, is there an X mark
across your paper? If there is,
you may know you are in arrears
on your subscription. How about
paying up?
Tomorrow
The man who thinks of tomor
rowof his future comfort of
the protection of his family
insures his property today. If it
burns it will not break him. The
insurance company pays the
damage.
Today
The one who thinks only of to
day who considers only the
slight expense of the moment -who
forgets the future security
of his family does not insure.
When the property burns it
criples him or wipes him out
completely.
