CARMACK A WINNER.
Beats McMillin by 500 Votes in Lin
coin County Primary.

Fayetteville, June Mot for years
has there been as much interest mani
tested in Lincoln County in primary
election as was manifested Saturday.
1t had been pr, dicted that very small
vote would be rolled, as the farmer s
were so behind with the crops, and that
very little interest would be taken In
the primary; but with the rains Friday
and Saturday morning making the
ground too wet to plow and the interest
taken, the result was that about the
largest vote in Democratic primary in
th county was polled.
1t was a battle royal between the Nc
Millin and Carmack factions and every
inch of the ground was fercely contested.
Especially was this so at the Fayetteville
and Petersburg b ixes, where the vote
was 1914 to 216 and 81 to 68 respectively
n favor of Carmack at both boxeG.
The official returns are not all in, but
the estimated vote pole ! is something
over 2,400, with about 500 majority iu
favor of Carmack.

and Jackals.

BOMBAY, June 3.-Louis Klopsch, of
New York, publisher of the Christian
Herald, who arrived here May IA and
started at once on a tour of the famine
stricken districts, has returned after
travelling through the most sorely smit-
ten portions of the Bombay presidency,
including Geierat and Barolda. He
makes the follow ing statement regard
ing his observations;
'Every here | met the most shocking
and revolving scenes. The famine camps
have been swept by cholera and small
pox. Fugitives, scattering in all direc-
tions, and stricken in flight, were found
dying in the fields and roadside bitches.
The numbers at one relief station we're
increasing at the rate of 10000 a day
cat Godhera there were 5000 deaths
from cholera within four days, and at
Dahad $500 in the same period. The
hospital death rate at Godhera and Do
had was 80 per cent.
"The condition of the stricken simply
beggars description.
"Air and water were impregnated
At Ahmedabad the death rate in the
pOOlnOuSS was ~ per CENT. Every Udy
| saw new patients placed face with
corpses. In every fourth cot there was
corpse. The thermometer read 115 in
the shade. Millions of flies hovered
around the uncleansed dysentery pa
! tients.
Il visited the smallpox and cholera
wards at Viragam. All the patients
were lying on the ground, there being
no cots. Otherwise their condition was
fair.
81 can fully verify the reports that
vultures, dogs and jack ais are devouring
the dead. Dogs have been seen running
about with children's limbs in theil
jaws.
"The Government is doing is best
but the native officials are hopelessly
and heartle, SLY inefficient Between the
famine, plague aud cholera, the con
dition of Bombay, presidency is now
worse than it has been at any previous
period in the Nineteenth century
Whole families have been blotted out
The spirit of the people is broken, anc
there may be something still worse t.
