The republican primary was held
Saturday aud We have seen some few OF
the candidates since who were happy aud
rejoicing, but the majority OF them seem
mad aud disappointed Judge Lear who
has made this county a model Judge Tor
the last few years. received 2-6 votes
james White 410, and David Bethurum
6O2 votes, for county judge. DICK Nil.
Ter beat Lee Tate 81 Tor county court
clerk. Will Mullins beat IL. Gotten 2!s
for Sheriff. Tue question might be asked
who is Mr.. Bethurum, the man nomlna-
ted for Judge over Judge Lear aud White
The answer COMES that Mr.. Bethurum is
the man that has been running disiil-
lery for the last i've years. Aud he IA
the gentleman that had about p iniici-
ments against him last court for the nn-
lawful selling Of whisky. lie - the gen.
tleman who swore in almost all the cases
that he had tried. that he had never sold
the witnesses drop in his life, aud IN
some cases he said he had never seen
the witness in his life, &c. IL may be
that Mr.. Bethurum Was right, aud AL
those men who was witnesses against
him, were wrong, and misrepreSentrd
him. We are unable TO say, but thrr' II
one thing that We do know and that IL
thatthefei is something rotten somewhere
We feel like the democratic and ptohioi-
ton parties have been outraged, by the
republican party in this county, because
they knew that these parties we're IN the
minority, and had no power to resist any
thing that their republican brethren sa"
proper to bring up on them We have
been quiet aud submissive 10 any and al
things, anl we have been letting then
hayea walk.oyer into every Office anC
not a word to say, and do feel that THEY
were duty bound to give US ag)oi Law
abiding citizen, and not get man VIII
has been in the courts for 10 or ID years
for violating the common law, and say t
us who can not help ourselves, that Ia
shall be our county judge. God kno"
that the writer has nothing persona
against Mr.. Bethurum. He il said to b
acleyer man in his way and We heliev
il. for do think there was more whisk.
given away during last week than wa
ever given TO the people OF this county
for tue same period Of time since "
knew the county and II is said that th
larger per cent, OF 1t came from IA
house. Now one question to the iatl
ers and voters OF this county aud We al
done. DO you think it wise, do yo
think it for the good OF your boys, Il
the morality aud sobriety OF your coui
ty, to elect Mr.. Bethurum county Iude
of this county? II 80, cast your ballot ~
cordlugly aud We must submit to yo'
decision, OF will you stop and conSIde
the interest OF your county, the So'rie'
of your boys and the sacredness oil u
law? And then ior one time IN you
lives lay down party prejudice aud s'ri
and come up like christian men, an
help US elect good law abiding cltlze
for Judge OF this county.
