THE STATE PRINTING AGAIN.
The Fight Now Bids Fair to be Warmei
Than Ever Before.

AuG A5HL NOW DfuS II d1E W ne w ailbCE
Than Ever Before.
THE fight over the State printing now
bids fair to be surpassed in warmth and
interest only by the Senatorial contest, and
the. result in both cases is equally uncer-
tain. At present there are three leading
candidates-the Daily Tribune, Stewart
Brothers and Barnes Brothers. They
are named in the order of their prospects
of getting the plum. The first two are
Republican aspirants, the last is Popu-
list. That accounts for his being last.
The Tribune thinks the present manner
of giving out the printing failure and
wants the Legislature to go back to the
old-time method Of electing a State
Printer The Stewarts and Barneses
realize that they would stand no show in
such a contest as that, and so they urge
the advantages which are popularly sup
posed to come from letting the work out
to the lowest bidder / say ''popularly
supposed advisedly, for better system
and cheaper one is what the Legislature
promised to give the taxpayers. But
they have not kept their promise Under
the present system the State printing has
cost nearly $4,000 more for the past two
wears than it did for the two preceding
years, as / propose to show from the
books of the State Auditor and Treas
urer later.
How the Messrs. Stewart and Barnes
will get around this little difference, when
the Tribune confronts them with it, yet
remains to be seen. At any rate they
have faith in their explaining power. The
Stewarts are shipping type, presses and
fixtures here and will have Shefr once
in running order by the time the Legis
fature meets. They have two objects ii
this. One is to do the printing for tht
Legislatures the other is to show thai
they mean what they say when they
promise the Legislature TO hereafter dC
the work in Raleigh and not be sending
the greater part Of it out of the State
as they have been doing for the past twt
years.
The Barneses are also getting in new
material as a sort Of rod to induce the
lightning their way. But it is useless. Un
less they can persuade the Legislature Il
elect a State Printer before they do

STREET RAILWAY SOLD.
It is Bought in Ky A. c. Stewart, n Representative Of fthe
 BondhOlders.

At noon today the Citizens Street Railway, of Pine Bluff, with all of it's property and franchises was sold i ut public out cry at the Court House (door pursuant to a decree of the Federal Court, and the property was bought in by MT. A. c. Stewart, of St. Louis, a representative of the bondholders Of the railway. At torney Frank C. Bridges, who is be- lieved to have acted as an agent for the Pine Bluff Water and Light Co.,, bid $19,600 for the railway, but was out bid by Mr. Stewart. The price paid by Mir. Stewart was $20,000.
 MT. Stewart has several ideas in view as to what will be done with the street railway plant. One is to convert it into an electric line, but says as yet he, and those whom he represents, have not determined just what will be done.
 A good street railway system in Pine Bluff, whether electric or horse power, will pay and our people will gladly patronize it, but as the sys- tenn is at present, walking Is quicker and more easy.

 Col. Nell. Williams is one of the oldest and best known citizens in the county. He is a Southerner of the "old school, "a true and loyal Democrat who loves the traditions of his party and the South. He is a gentleman of culture, broad informa- tion and intelligence, and wide ex- perience. He has long been one of the most prominent planters in the county, and is therefore closely identified with the farming and agricultural interests. Should he be nominated and elected, he would make the people of Jefferson a useful and influential Representative.

Attorney General Sheds More Light
 on the Legalized Primaries.
Polls Should Be Opened and Closed at Hours Designated for
 General Election.

Attorney-General Trustworthy is being besieged by citizens through out the State with questions per taining to the scope of the Legisla- tive enactment legalizing primary elections his latest deliverance is in reply to queries propound by Col. l.. o. Fisher, of Hampton and is as fol- lows:
 DEAR SIR-Yours. asking my opin- ion of the Act of March 9, 1895, en- titled "An act to Legalze Primary Elections" received. In reply have this to say: 1 do not think this act places legalized primaries into the hands of election commissioners. am of the opinion that the primary election should be held by the local political organization of the party holding the primary election. So under this law, l think the Demo- cratic organization of your county should hold the Democratic primary election; but that the judges and the electors should have the same qualifications as judges and electors of a general election and that the voting should be conducted in every respect as in a general cleo tion.
 The polls should be opened and closed at the hours designated for a general election.
 If a judge is absent, the other judges or judge should appoint one to act, if all the judges are absent, then the voters should select judges. The county does not furnish poll book. The act makes no provision for paying expenses of holding legal ized primary elections, SD the ex- penses and manner of paying the same would have to be arranged by the.party holding the election.
 Yours truly,
