The democrats of Floyd county, held pri

The democrats of Floyd county, held pri-
mary elections Friday afternoon, and put a
county, district and congress ticket in the
way of nomination. The points principally
of interest to the state, is the naming of
the Hon. NJ. G. Kerr for congress, by
a vote of 1925. an opposition vote
of five for Judge Dnnham, and three
for Mr.. Wolfe, the present member.
If parties could be trusted with such work
as this always. then we might all surrender
ourselves cheerfully to their guidance. Mr..
Kerr is a man whose talents adorn the ma
tional councils, and whose election confers
an honor upon his state and district,
under whatsoever banner he serves.
For the State Senate an equally
good man was selected, Mr.. +. G.
johnson, who is known only as a
and able man. Mr.. John B.
Davis, the nominee for the assembly, is in
good company and should be man of char
acter. The county officials are, many of
them, named for new terms; the vote indi-
eating that the people were satisfied with
thsir services, at least in a political sense.

of the starving people, who own farms under

have been unable to obtain subsistence from

other settlers now in comfortable circumstan-

have ruined are in a starving condition The
