From talk that is now current, it seems that the candidates of Woodruff county are now going to rush things proper by having the primary held in this county one week prior to the date set by the Democratic State Central Committee. Tn other words, some of the candidates want March P for the primaries in this county. Nothing definite however, can be said of this un- til the county central committee has et.-Free Press.
 Where is this talk current? Nowhere, but in Augusta. We ask why should this be the cur rent talk? The only reason we can see is to benefit the Augusta candidates by such an extra cleo tion. The people are slow to go to the ballot box anyway and to have two primaries so near each other, would cause a great many to remain away from the poles. Augusta has her voters so well posted that they wonld come to the poles at midnight to elect one of their men, but the citizens as general thing are not so constitu- ted and the Augusta current speakers" know this only too well. The News is opposed to the current talk and thinks it economy v of tine .bos lave both primaries the same day.
