 The primary election Saturday resulted with few exceptions as was generally predicted, and there were but two or three surprises. It was generally conceded up to Tuesday that Grant Green had carried the county for railroad commissioner, but the off cial count shows that MT. Hanley's plurality is two votes, hence the county will cast its vote for him ln the State convention. Vandev- enters vote, especially at the For rest City box, indicates that if a stronger man had been against Davis, that gentIeman's majority would have been very small to say the least. It had been gener. ally conceded that the races be- tween Williams and Brown for sheriff, and Smith and Rowland for assessor, would be very close, and the results verify that fact, Williams winning by 50 majority, and Smith losing by 96 minority. So far as we have heard there has not been suspicion of fraud con. nected with the election, and all are satisfied and take their defeat not too much at heart. G. E. Mallory received the largest vote of any candidate on the ticket, it being 1919. The election was very quiet, the sheriff's race probably attracting more interest than any other feature.

There is a political contest in Griggs township over the selection of delegates 10 the county conven- tion and an executive committee man for the ensuing two years. A township mass meeting was held Ut the voting precinct and the del- cgates and committeeman select ed, W. R. Kendrick being chosen for the latter office. Later an other mass meeting was held, the parties thereto claiming that the first had taken advantage of them and had not notified them of the meeting. It was proposed to all go in together and hold it over. but this was re- fused, and so the parties to the sec. ond mass meeting proceeded to elect their delegates to the county convention, and their member of the executive committee, the Hon. F. w. DeDositt being chosen for the latter position. As there is little liklibood of either faction making concessions, it is probable that there will be a spirited con- test before the committee on cre- dentials of the county convention. THE TIMES hopes the matter may be settled before it comes to the convention, and in any case that there will be no ill feeling engen- dered by this little misunderstood. ing, as we should greatly regret to see the democracy of good old Griggs township, who can always be depended upon to vote right, in the least disorganized or disgrun. tied. All the parties are our friends, and we counsel them to act in moderation and brotherly love, and for the best interests of the. party.

 There isn't . vacant house of any description in town, and peo. pie are ciamoring for homes. Houses that ought to rent for not more than eight dollars, are bring ing fifteen. A local building and loan association might solve this problem. Such an institution properly conducted affords safe and profitable investment for capi- tai, 2 savings bank for clerks and others ofsmaller means, and makes if possible for the wage earners to build and own their own homes with money that they are now pay ing to the landlord. It does not hurt the landlord, either, for as fast as he loses tenant from this cause, others are waiting to oecu- py the house. If the business men of Forrest City think favorably of this matter, the writer would gladly undertake the organization, if properly encouraged by word and deed. However, we want it understood, that we have no inter est in it, or any "axe 10 grind, ." except the general welfare of the town. We are interested in the future of Forrest ciiy, aud are willing 10 give our time and our means 10 any enterprise which will build it up. The prosperity of the town and our neighbors is our prosperity, and if they are not prosperous we cannot be, so let ss pull together. Our interests are identical and let us supply homes for those who wish to live here.

The city council should pass an

The city council should pass an ordinance providing for the prop. CT placarding of streets in accord ance with the new survey and map by w. J. Fricn, and requiring all householders to number their houses. It IS great convenience to the public and all concerned to be able to say Mr.- lives at No. 49 Washington street, or send
 to No. 1s9 Grant street, etc., etc, and besides, it looks we'll. Of course there will be some who will object and perhaps say that there are other things that should be had first and a dozen other objections be urged, but these come from the chronic kicker and if the progress of the town depended upon them 1t would never progress because they never agree with anybody as 10 what is needed, when it is need. ed, or why it is needed, and no matter what is suggested, they are ready to take the negative side and suggest something different, and if their suggestions be adopted they are the last to go down into their pockets or give any of their time to help the enterprise along. The way to build mp a town is to take everything in sight profit by every opportunity, and cooperate with each other.

POISON IN POTATOES.

The public is becoming excited over
the statement recently made that pota-
toes contain a poison called solanin.
1t is announced that new potatoes con-
tain much less than old ones, but those
which have commenced to sprout are
quite dangerous. This may be true,
but It seems odd that people have
lived and thrived for centuries upon
them and that their danger has just
been discovered 1t is safe to assert
that any one with whom potatoes do
not agree has stomach trouble. and
any one who has indigestion, dyspep-
sia. constipation, bllllousness, or liver
and kidney weakness needs Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters at once. This
medicine does more than promise, it
cures. Avoid substitutes and insist
upon having the genuine. Try 1t.
