The Henrico Primary Next Month.

The Democrats of Henrico will hold a
primary election on the first Thursday
in next month. .when they will nominate
candidates for the Offices OF supervisors
OF the different districts In the county,
magistrates, constables, and overseers Of
the poor.
The principal fight will be made in
Fairfield District. where Mr.. II. c. Hech-
Ter. the incumbent, will be opposed by
Mr.. Charles T. Turner.
An interesting question that will have
TO be settled at this primary is whether
those Democrats who saw fit to vote for
Mckinley and Hobart. or Palmer and
Buckner, at the late presidential election
will be allowed 10 vote.
There is a law of the State Of Virgins
bearing on this subject, and it is found
IN chapter 3SS of the Acts Of the Assem-
bly,. approved February 20, 1896. Section
" of this act provides that ANY person
who knowingly or wilfully votes. or at
tempts to vote, at such primary election.
contrary to the rules and regulations
governing same or any person
VINO is not a member Of the political
party holding such primary election
shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined
not less than S25. nor more than
5000. and be imprisoned in the county
Jail, not less than thirty days, nor more
than twelve months"
The politicians and the people general
Iy now wonder what will be done about
this interesting fact, concerning which
the law Is explicit.

THOSE NEw-MADE GRAVES.
1t is believed That Murder May
Have Been Committed.


The discovery by Keeper f. c. Smith
Of the presence Of two unknown and
freshly-made graves in Evergreen Gene
terry has occasioned profound interest
among the residents of the county, and
the belief that the victims Of a~murderous
hand lie buried within those graves was
freely expressed yesterday about the
county courthouse.
Some Of those around the courthouse
suggested that il IS possible that Mr.
John w. Hamlin, the Henrico farmer
who has been missing from his home fer
two weeks, may be an occupant Of one
of the graves. They are inclined TO
the belief that he was murdered, ma
that his body was disposed of in this
manner.
As yet the authorities have not be-
stirred themselves in the matter, but it
is more than likely that the graves will
be opened, either to-day or Monday.
The City Board Of Health has not an
nounced its purpose yet, but the police
officials of Henrico have interested them
selves in the case and 1t Is probable that
unless the Health Department decides
10 exhume the the bodies and make the
necessary examination for evidences Of
foul play the county police will do it.
No steps have been taken by the
county officials TO break up the camps
of Migrants located on the canal bank
above the city 1t is thought by the
county magistrates that there is no
law giving them the authority to arrest
the tramDs.
Two more applications for licenses to
retail liquor at Seven Pines will be
made at the next term OF the County
Court.
The County Democratic Committee will
meet to-day, to decide upon plan OF
making nominations for the spring cleo
tons
