Perfection Attained.

"Clifton" fancy patent flour is per-
feet flour. It is not possible to put
more quality and purity into flour
than our "Clifton' brand contains.
''Clifton'' is a soft wheat fancy pat
ent. 1t is made from select wheat,
every grain of which was grown on
Kentucky soil-the finest wheat in the
wide world. Only the choicest berries
are selected. These are thoroughly
cleaned, and then by a special process
of gradual reduction are converted into
flour. The cream of this flour is sep
arated and sifted gently through the
finest silk boiling cloth, giving it vel
vety softness seldom found in ordinary
flour. That's <'Clifton,' and that's
why it is perfect four-the finest
product expert milling and modern
mill can make from the best wheat
grown.
"Clifton" is -four of quality at a
reasonable price. You can pay as much
and get an inferior -four, but you can
not get better flour whatever you pay

on MIR. Henry Boozer's place, in No. Z
Township. The woman was carried to
the Hospital in January and some time

regained her mind. During this month
she set fire to one of Mr.. Boozer's ten
and houses and on the order of the
Probate Judge was placed in jail.
Wednesday morning her husband was
admitted to the cell and she hit him

ELECTION DAY IN NEWBERRY
Passed Of Pleasantly and Quietly-vNo
Special Incidents

The first primary in Newberry Coun-
ty passed off pleasantly and quietly
and without special incident. Probably
there has never been as quiet an elec-
ton where there was as much interest
in the result.
The vote was not as heavy as was
expected. Two years ago Mr.. Sease
received 2,277 votes in this county in
his race without opposition for Solici-
tor. The total this year reached 2, 1O4,
decrease of 173. This decrease is
probably mainly due to the rain that
began falling about noon.
The official count is given on the first
page of this issue. There are few
changes in the figures as given by The
Herald and News and The Observer on
the night of the election, and these
changes do not affect the result. The
returns came in a little more slowly
than usual, due also to the rain. How
ever, the interest of the crowd who
watched the bulletins was not in the
least abated, and favorites were Justify
cheered.
For the House of Representatives
Hon. Arthur Kibler was reelected.
Messrs. Aull, Banks, Higgins and San
ders will be in the second race.
Mr.. E. S. Werts was reelected
Superintendent of Education over both
of his opponents.
Messrs. w. w. Hodges and j. c.
Wilson will 60 into the second race for
Probate Judge, as will Messrs. ]. M.
Schumpert and J. Y. Floyd for Super
visor.
Mr.. John L. Epps was reelected
Treasurer, and Mr.. w. w. Cromer
Auditor over both opponents.
In the second race for County Com
missioner will be Messrs. Benjamin
Halfacre, C. S. Moore, j. M. Nichols
ana w. n. WelluL.
Messrs. J. H. Chappell and c. B.
Tidwell will run over for Magistrate of
