 Selma, April 10. To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I am in receipt of your favor of the 9th inst, asking an expression from me as to State and County primaries. If I was not member of the State Executive Committee I would be pleased to express myself.

Emergency trains have been made up for

The report last night that the Texas and
