The various county and city chairmen

The primary election in the Sixth Dis

only development in the situation yes

a candidate, he having notified Chairman
D. @. Eggleston that owing to- his objec-
ton to the assessment feature Of the
plan. h would retire from the race
The remaining candidates are Messrs.
Glass; Clayton and Bowman They are
all poular men and are hard at work.
The friends of Mr. Glass will wind UP
his campaign in LEnchburg tonight mid
the sounding Of bugles and the flashing
of lights. They will hold a great rally at
the Opera House. and the popular cam
didate himself will make the principal
address. Short talks will be made in his
interest by prominent Democrats, both

tomorrow night, and will then go home
to spend election day in his county. Col.
Bowman is conducting aLstill hunt. and
says he is going to get handsome
vote.
No pains have been spared by Chair
man D. Q. Eggleston. to have fair
test of the new plan taken in the Sixth
District He says he is not willing that
the plan shall be brought into disfavor
without a fair trial, and he has been
very dligent to inform the Democrats
of the entire district as to all its details.
The polls will open in the various coun-
ties and cities at o'clock in the morn
ing and will close at clock P. M. Mr..
Eggleston left for his home last night,
and will remain until after the battle.
He believes his county of Charlotte will
give Mr.. Glass good majority. and that
the Lynchburg candidate will bear off
the palm.
