Registration and White
Primaries,

A Primary election is the result OF
an agreement Of the aspirants for pre-
ferment at the hands Of the party to
submit their names td vote of the
party to decide which shall become
the candidate or party representative
in the legal election. There has never
been any legislative enactment legal'z-
ing or recognizing party primary
elections, The excuse for their at
tempt is furnished by the following
articles of the Constitution Of 1885,
| Articles 200 declares that "no per-
son shall vote at any primary election,
or in any convention, or other politica
! assembly held for the purpose OF no
minating any candidate for public Of
fee. unless he is at the time a regis
tered voter. And il all political con
/ ventions in this State the appoint
i nents Of, representation shall be OF
: the basis Of population"
K Article 215 declares "the legislator
cltoU enact laws to secure fairness
. party primary elections, conventions
or other methods of naming party ca,
didates." The Official Journal Of Il
general assembly Of 1898 makes pro-
that the power Of tine administratit
was moi sufficient to coerce the legl
lature into this nefarious scheme. II
legislature refused to carry these a
tic}es of the constitution into etfe'
aud thus the matter stands. The 9
ticle,does not declare that the vo'
j must be legally registered. That "
scarcely be taken as an excuse for no
- ing open the registration office wit
y out warrant or authority of law. G
there be any legal registry of vot
without authority of law? Undenia'
the question is answered in the net

Saturdays Fires

Two fires occurred Saturday.
The first was in j. p. GallOway'S
residence, but was soon extin-
guished The fire was i'm the
ceiling and several holes had to
be cut in the roof and walls be-
fore it could be reached, and most
of the damage, which was slight,
was done in this way.
The second fire was in the first
ward beyond the fire limit, and,
in consequence, the firemen
could do nothing. The house, n
small one, occupied by G.. A.
Summerlin, was entirely destroy
ed. Most of the contents were
saved.

Old Maids Convention

Following is what the Oakland
(Ill.,) Ledger, edited by Mrs. j.
w. Sylvester's brother, says of
the Conventions:
Paint! Powder! Bangs! They
were all there last SATURDAY.
night. Standing room was at a
premium. In fact, the largest
assembiage ever gathered TO-
gether in the opera house was
present. Every seat was taken,
the aisles were choked with
chairs, while in the rear of the
house people were almost stacked
on top of each other, so eager
were they to be present to see
what was to be seen. The occa-
sion for this large crowd was the
previous announcement that
"Thc Old Maids Convention
was to be held, and the people
tiocked to the opera house like
blackbirds around q hucklebcrry
swamp to see what an "Old
Maids Convt ntion" was like and
how the old maids would per-
form. In order to give our read
ers who were not there An lnsis hit
OF what an old maid is, or rather
what this particular one was, we
will preface n little. The plot of
the extravaganza is this: Some
old maids OF BOst on who were on
the shady side of forty, banded
themselves together for the pur-
pose Of securing husbands. In
order to have a better UNDER
standing, they adopted bylaws,
signs lss-words, etc. The con-
vention was supposed to meet
once every year. Last year it
met IN Nipentuck, and; in the
language of the street, was a
bowling success. The meeting
night was an open ses-
sion for the benefit of the public,
etc. The appearance of each old
maid seemed to amuse the peO-
pie, who attested their apprecia-
tion amid shouts and laughter.
At one time the audience arose
en- masse and nearly shook the
roof from eff the house. The en-
tertainment, as a whole, was a
grand success. 1t was under the
auspices of the M E s. s..

THE ARMS MURDER TRIAL
SATURDAY AFTERNOON

SATURDAY AFTERNOON
The principal evidence was that
OF the defendant, Nick Myers
He said he was not away from
his house for twenty minutes at
time on the afternoon Of De-
cembcr 20, 1897, the time that
Arms disappeared. He had
never made threats against
Arms only on one occasion, when
they had sorre trouble over hogs.
Myers said to Arms that If the
matter occurred again there
would be trouble, but they ami
cably adjusted the difference and
became friends afterwards.
MONDAY MORNING
The second week of the Arms
trial began promptly at o'clock.
The attendance of spectators
was large; among them quite q
number Of prominent citizens.
The state put the following
witnesses on tho stand: John
Evans, colored. Stark's ferry;
John Summers, coIored, Weirs-
dale; Chas. T.. Bill, Ocala; M
"A. Davenport. merchant, and
w. Allsop, Weirsdale; f. w.
Smith, .. M. Gale, j. N. Shedd
and Justice Abshier, BelIeview;
Oscar Hightower, Moss Bluff;
Jno. K. King, Oc:lIa.
BY Evans, Simmons, Daven-
port and AlIsop, the sta tie pro-
posed to prove an alibi in the
case of Robertson Myers, son of
Nick, and accused as accessory
in the murder. 1t was to show
that Robertson Myers appeared
at AIlsop's store on the after
noon of December %, 1897, ON a
bay horse, to buy goods, and
hence could not have been at that
time at or near Stark's ferry and
the scene Of the murder.
BY Ball 1t was shown how long
IT took to cross forty head of mis-
cellaneOus cattle at the ferry, get
a cow out Of the bog, and what
distance such an aggregation.
would travel an hour.
by Smith, Gale, Shedd and
Abshfer it was shown that Ma
rion McClendon's reputation for
truth and veracity was bad and
that he couldn't be believed upon
his oath.
McClerdon testified that on
May 8, 1898, he met Nick Myers
in the Ocala House saloon and
Myers, lying drunk on a table,
tol l him that he had killed Arms,
burnt him and was going to kill
another id Yankee.
Oscar H'ghtower of Moss
Bluff testified meeting McClendon
in May, 1893, where occurred the
conversation about McClendon
knowing enough to convict Ny
ers, and that the witness said
"tell it and get $lrOO reward" !"
Jno. K. King OF Ocala testified
to what McClendon told him In
September while IN camp at
Huntsville, Ala, in being sum-
moned before the Marion county
grand jury to testify against
Nick Myers. King said that Nc
ClendOn located the meeting
with Myers IN McGrath's saloon
instead Of the Ocala House sa-
loon.
At noon court adjourned at
the request of r. b. Bullock, so
that the counsel for the defence
could consult and draw up
charges. He thought they
would not call any more witness
es for the defence.
