We are authorized TO say that 1t was
the intention Of the Democratic state
central committee to have the primary
elections for delegates to the state con-
veniion, which meets on August 18th,
held on tue 9th day OF August, the Sa'ur-
day preceding the convention. II is TO bs
hoped that there will be no fl 2ht or contest
in this county for delegates to the stato
convention. For our part We want no
fight or contest. While we have our
views about what nominations should be
made and about what policy should be
adopted for the best interests of the patty
we, IL IL oan bs helped, ahali not en.sr
into y fRotional fight for delegates, be-
cause bitter factional fight at the pri-
mary meetings or a bitter fight in the
state convention brings defeat to the
party of this county, not only for the
State ticket but tor the county ticket.
We desire the success Of the Democratic
party in this State, because the SUCCESS
of that party means good honest govern
ment for the people. The Democratic
party can succeed il the leaders Will put
stop to tho hitter, unrelenting fight
that is being weged in every portion of
this county. It can't succeed unless the
bitter fight ceases. In the interest OF
the party, therefore, we call upon the
leaders Of the two factions to get to-
gether and try to devise some honorable
method to save ths party. Such meet
ing ought to BIS held and held ut once if
the party expects to gain yictory in the
coming campaign. For our part We want
to see harmony in every hundred in this
county and in the State. 1t CON be
secured by honorable and mutual con
oossions at this time, but month hence
1t may be too late. II no compromise il
to be made aud fight has to be made,
then we shall perform our duty as We
understand it, regardless of conse
q lonoss We have done our best t.
hsrmonize the party and to save it from
defeat, but We can not control othei
people. II those who pirate abou
loyalty to party on all occasions will ais
us in our endeayor the party Will win
victory in the coming contest.

his entire life, 50 years, Ia the house. He
was cabinet maker and had his shop in
the building. The adjoining four story

Msssrs. Frank E. Herbert, Joseph p.
Chandler and q. B. Sattersdsld, the
suditing committee, reported the &c
oounts of the treasurer and finance COM
mittee to be correct. They also sub
mitted the following resolution, which
was adopted:
AS the statutes require the trustees to
make statement In pamphlet form IN the
| month of hhrch annually for the dtstrlbu-
| tioa In tho several hunlrois Of the county,
| showing the transactions OF this depart
ment or the county government, your COM
| mlttes wonld recommend that the trustees
adopt resolution authorizing and en-
powering your committee hereafter to
audit and adjust the accounts OF the troas-
urer OF tho poor In the month Of February
In lieu of May. This will not only enable
the trustees to make a statement rs pro-
vide1 by law, but will more accurately
certain the amount OF money neees-
sary to deiray tie expenses Of the
Institution for tho ensuing year.
Under our present system we arecompeiled
TO ask for M appropriation before the
expiration OF tbs preceding term, and we
have always bean at sea In regard to the
full amount necessary to inset our de-
mAnds. We further recommend the change
from the fact OF tho auditing comnittsa OF
the levy court auditing three .qu0rters oi
tha same amount IN February annually
which shows two balan es OF the same
account In one year, and unless your Rudit.
ing committee are com posed of experienced
eccountants or hnvs had some knowledge
OF housekeeping, would In ell probability
cause Z complication of the accounts, aud

Some valuable OIa Coins Fouad I'm
the Ancient KsniIdiag nt Front and
ShipieY streets,
While at work tearing down part of
the old building at Front and Shipley
streets Thursday, John Pryor, colored,
came upon several old copper coins hid
den emong the rsfters and in the inter-
stices of the bricks. They arc both Ameri-
can and English. The former are not
very old, but the English coins are gen.
uiue prizes They range in date from
1902 to 1880. They are all in the de-
nominations of half.psnnies but one,
which is fsrthing. Tho dates on one
or two OF the coins are iilegible. They
are all but one Of tine reign Of George IL. 4,
and OF course long antedate the reyolu-
tion. One coin, that OF l702, is Of the
year when Queen Anne assembled the
English throne, 1888 years ago. Joseph
Pyle, the bgicklAyer, also found some
coins in the raftcrs. The American coins
are not over SO years old. The old build
ing is one of the properties recently con-
demned in part, as o portion of 1t pro-
iected on the street. 1t was bought by
Luther W. Palmer from the representa-
tives of the McOlssy estate. It is ex-
pectCa that there will be other discover
les and the men ct work scan olosely
every brick they iisplace.
