A QUESTIONABLE MATTER.

Primary Elections.


Editor Press and Banner:
l have no desire to pick flaw in the recent
primary elections. IacQuiescc in the declared
results. But, 1t appears, from figures, there
was an inconsistency prevailed in the ruling
OF the first and second primary elections. II
your tabular statements are correct, it seems
the Sheriff nominee did not receive naiori-
ty Of the votes cast at the polls, in the second
election, but majority over his competitor
for that office and was declared elected Mr.
Graydon, in the first election for the Icgisla.
ture, dtd not receive a majority Of the votes
polled and was sent back TO make the second
race, but he did receive O majority vote of the
votes that were cast for the Legislature. AL
so, Mr.: DuPre did not got majority, In the
second race, for County Commissioner, of The
entire votes, but did receive q majority of the
votes that were cast for that office and was
sent back to make the third race. If the rul-
ing IN the second Sheriff election Is correct,
according to the Democratic constitution
why 1t appears Mr.. Graydon ought not to
have been subjected to the necessity of max
Ing the secoud. nor MIR. DuPre to make the
third race. This apparent Inconsistency
should be guarded against in the future. The
plurality plan would be the least object iona
Bile and equally as fair TO all candidates.

Neuralgia is often the effect of indl-
gestion. In such cases a cup OF beef
tea, cocoa, or even hot water will often
relieve it. For the same purpose a
we'll known physician often prescribed
cup of milk with just enough boil

Walker, Fleming & Sloan, wholesale cotton

They have done this by learning the number
Of bales used by every factory, also the
amount shipped from every station on every
railroad in this territory. This gives the fig

The result Is interesting, and shows that we
have been outrageously misrepresented by
the South Carolina Agricultural statistician
who ever he is, and proves his figures to be
the merest guess work. There is slight flow
Of cotton from one county to another, but
this is not considerable. These are the figures

the wealthiest citizen of Japan outside of

mines alone being S75,0O0,000. He employs
upwards OF 10000 men in his copper mines,
and 5000 IN his smelling works. He
operates sixteen different mines of gold,
silver and copper. He has been up to Ne
vada City with the State Mineralogist, view
ing the famous quartz mines in that Sec
ton. In conversation with RECORD UNION
reporter Mr.. Kondo said he was going over
to the Haggin grant to see the famous stock

The Trial of Tolley.

Charles Tolley was on trial for an assault
to murder before Judge Armstrong and
jury in the Superior Court yesterday. On
the 9th Of April Tolley called at the Folsom
Prison and asked to be allowed to see
prisoner by the name of WadIeigh. He
told the officer in charge that Wadleigh
had estranged his wife's affections. He
wanted to ascertain, he said, whether or
not Wadleigh is corresponding with my
wife. He was refused his request. He
fingered around the prison, and when the
convicts were filing in from work he de-
iberately pulled out pistol and fired into
the line, wounding one of them-a man by
the name of Vindel-in the back. From
the evidence, it would appear that Tolley
is insane. He was defended by G. T. Jones.
After the evidence was all in, the case was
submitted without argument. The Court
will instruct the jury at 10 A. NJ. to-day, and
they will then retire to formulate verdict.

New Fruit Company.

The Growers and Shippers Associa-
ton " was formed in this city yesterday Its
objects are the buying and shipping of
green fruits for the purpose of developing
the Eastern markets for California green
fruit. The chief place of business will be
Sacramento. The association is composed
of the Earle Fruit Company, Sacramento :;
Wood & Co., Sacramento G. W. Reed,
Sacramento; George D. Kellogg, New
castle. The association is organized upon
mutual contract, for the purpose of ship
ping train-loads of fruit when fruit is
abundant, so as to get transportation to
market on the most favorable terms. C.
W. Reed is to be the Eastern agent, and
will dispose OF the associations fruits on
the auction plan in all large cities. The
Eastern headquarters will probably be
Chicago, and Boston and New York will
be general points for operation. The asso-
citation proposes to carry fruit for growers
who do not sell to the company, SO as to
afford them train-load advantages. Mr..
Reed was the first person to take California
fruit to an Eastern market, and has been
largely engaged in fruit-shipping for many
years on his own account. He has large
fruit auction business in the East, and puts
1t into the new association. The members
OF the organization say that they are in OPP
position to no ether company, but consider
their effort an aid TO the enlargement OF the
market and consumption of California
fruits at the East and that there is room
for them, and will be for others as the bust
ness more and more develops.
