Mseon,s Primary Election.

The Democratic Club met Monday
night, but action in reference to the
primary was indefinitely postponed, but
it was thought it might conflict with
the primary election law passed by the
last legislature. The following from
the Columbus Dispatch will throw some
light on the subject:
The municipal primary election TO
nominate candidates for the positions Of
Mayor, Aldermen and School Trustees
will be held on Monday, May 5th, The
executive committee, who took the
matter under consideration at their
meeting last week, have received as
surances from Attorney General Nc
Clurg, to whom the matter was referred,
that It will not be violating the law to
hold the election outside Of the time set
by the law for the general primaries,
and at a meeting of that body held yes
terdav morning, the above date was
agreed upon
Members Of the executive committee
and others interested went over to West
Point last Monday afternoon to consult
with the Democratic authorities of that
place in reference to the matter. West
Point her municipal elecrion last Non
day. and those who were charged with
the settlement OF the question informed
the representatives from Columbus that
they were assured that holding an
election now would be ne violation Of
the law. This was the opinion Of such
lawyers.as Critz. Beckett and Roane
and others to whom the matter was re-
ferred, In addition to this the opinion
of the Attorner. General sets at rest the
matter and it is reasonably certain that
there is no legal obstacle in the way Of
holding the primary election according
to the wish of the candidates.

A radical change will be made this
year in the method Of passing on ap.
plications for participation in the state
pension distribution to INDECENT Con-
federate soldiers amounting to Sl50, 0l0
The boards Of supervisors have been
relieved by the legislature Of examining
the applications, but is charged with
the duty of selecting a pension board
to be composed of five ex-Confederates
in each comfy and these boards will sit
in final Judgment on all applications, In
come quarters it is feared that the new
system will result in a large increase in
the number OF pensioners, the argument
in support Of this contention being that
the board Of ex-Confederates is likely to
be more lenient with its comrades than
would the boards of supervisors, The
pension roll has been steadily increasing
in proportion to the increase in the
pension fund for several years, until at
present the pensioners in the non pre-
ferred class receive only mere pittance.
As the the appropriation was doubled at
the last session of the legislature, how.
ever, the pro rata of these in the non.
preferred class will doubtless be largely
increased.
