The Apex Primary.

The democratic primary held at
Apex was in the mean harmonious. 1t
was largely attended and was called to
order by the chairman of the township
committee, who stated that it was a
democratic meeting, which definition
was accepted by those present. After
this statement the chairman announced
that according to custom which had
always been in use there the meeting
should, upon this occasion, have the
right to select its chairman. This was
followed by the nomination of w.
B. Upchurch, who was unanimously
elected. He advised harmony and
pleaded for democratic success in the
coming contest; counciling that only
democrats had the right to participate
in this meeting. Incidentally the ques-
tion of eligibility arose. The meeting
was again defined to be a democratic
meeting, in which only those who were
in sympathy with the democratic party
were entitled to participate, whereupon
two or three citizens withdrew. These
definitions were then sanctioned by all
and the meeting proceeded to ballot fol
delegates, which resulted in the selec
tion of w. B. Upchurch, d. D. Bau
can, Rufus Barbee, J. c. Burns, w
J. johnson, G. F. Williams, A. Hern
don, J. J. Maynard, W. W. Yates ano

Memorial Day at Washington.

A correspondent writing from Wash
ington says memorial day was cele-
brated there on a grand scale, and one
of the largest crowds ever seen in
Washington was present to do honor
to the occasion Mr.. Henry Blount,
the gifted editor Of the Wilson Mirror,
was the orator of the day, and made
an admirable speech. His flights OF
oratory were grand and his language
the pre,tiest ever heard in that section.
1t was simply magnificent. He is a
genius, and everybody is speaking his
praise in loudest terms. He cap.
tured the town, being orator, &C.
tor and poet ali in one. Rev. Mr.. Davis
who lost an arm in battle, introduced
him in very eloquent speech, ane
congratulated the large assemblagt
upon its good fortune in having such
an orator. The music, under th'
leadership of Miss Bridgeman, wa
very appropriate and was rendered
finely. Mr.. Joseph Laughinghous
was chief marshal, and made a goo
officer. Everything passed off well
and this memorial day will long be re
membered as one of the grandest eve
held in Washington.

TorEkA, Kan, May l2.-All Kan
sas is again being visited by deluge,
the third inside of ten days, and this
last one is the worst of all. Since
o'clock this morning, rain has been
pouring in torrents and at noon the
flood is still at it's height. 1t is
feared that there will be a repetition
OF the great damage done by the pre-
vious storm. In this city, the low
SUBURBS are again all flooded and the
police and fire departments are aiding
the submerged residents, one-third of
the city being again under water.
The Kansas river which flows through
the city is up to its bank tops and the
chances for disastrous overflow are
good.

News Notes From NeWbern.

NEwBERN, May 10.-There is great
activity and business looks quite brisk
and enlivening in and around New
bern. 1t was stated that the last cold
snap and frost did one hundred thou
sand dollars damage to the truckers
around Newbern, but the appearance
of things now does not indicate it. The
carts and wagons hauling truck to the
steamers and railroads resemble the
old omnibus times in Broad way
They are so thick, going and coming,
that you have to look both ways to
keep from being run over. The ship
ment by the steamer Neuse one day was
SO heavy that she failed to leave on
time, and when she was ready to start
the weight of the freight was so heavy
that she was SO stuck on the bottom
that she was with difficulty gotten off.
Craven county is somewhat disor-
ganized in political point of view,
and it is hard to tell anything definite
ly about the political situation. Many
are favorable to Gov. Holt, and con-
slider that his excellent and admirable
administration entities him to the
nomination, and as the interests and
prosperity are best to be subserved by
an upright, judicious and sensible gov
ernor, they cannot see any wisdom in
discarding one who has shown himself
to possess the attributes of proper
E officer, and accepting another, not
knowing his aptitude or the force
of his administrative ability. Gov
ernor Holt has made an acceptable
governor. and his administration ha:
won universal commentator and is il
consequence thoroughly endorsed. HI

81. That each farmer raise his own
supplies OF corn, meat and hay.
80. That every farmer be required
to bring some home product to sell
every time he comes to town, or he
must not be allowed to carry anything
back.
SO. That cotton and tobacco should
be a secondary consideration and only
planted as a surplus crop; that by
adopting this course every farmer will
be placed in a position to have some
voice in pricing his commodities, for
each farmer to have his own sub-treas-
ury and to get the full benefit of un-
limited silver coinage when it comes. :"
The author of this platform, DR.. c.

VALLEJO PLAYED BALL.
The SaCramentans Lost the Game in
the Last Two Innings.
The Scott & GIlberts Started Like
Winners, but the Visitors Headed
Them in tho fIomestretch.

There was quite large attendance at
Snowflake Park yesterday afternoon to
witness the baseball game between the
Scott q Gilberts of this city and the Val
Iejos.
The home team took good lead in the
first few innings, which they maintained
until the sixth. Then the visitors tied
the score, each having scored seven runs.
In the seventh and eighth innings the
Nailejos fell upon Callen and Moody and
did some lively hitting, which, coupled
with numerous errors, scored them four
teen runs, seven in each inning while
the home team could add but two more
to their credit.
With the exception of Levy, the visit
ors played fine fielding game, the work
of Hughes and DeXtraZe being unusual
ly good, while the Sassafras Sour boys
piled up more errors than they made as
sists.
Pace played his poorest game in this
city, but retrieved himself at the bat by
rapping out a single, double and triple
George BorcherS played first base for the
home club and his work was very ragged,
being below that of the seinI-amateurS he
was playing with. Moody and CalIen did
some heavy batting for their team, while
DeXtraZe did likewise for the visitors
Colonel Robinson Of the Oak land club
umpired the game and did splendid work.
No fault was found with any OF his de-
cisiOns. In fact, none could be found.
The following is the score:
