relief to know at the word go just what you have got

thought if you had just hung on a little longer you
might have got the goods for a dollar less. One price

in the buyers mind about his own ~shrewdness or the

THE PRIMARY .PLAN--AGAiN.

Pittsylyar,ia county has one of the most
remarkable contests on hand that has
yet grown ont Of the Democratic pri-
nlaries, held throughout the State.
In the primary held In that county a
few weeks ago Mr.. W. p. Duncan de-
feated MIR. Giles P. Walden tho incuinn ''eS,
for the nomination for county treasurer.
The latter contests. baslns his hopes OF
upsetting the nomination Of Duncan
solely on the merits Of the BarKsda l
pure election law, the spirit and letter
OF which, he alleges. were grossly VIC
lated by Duncan; and his friends
Mr.. vaden's bill Of Indictment has about W.
fifteen counts, the most damaging ana
startling OF which is to the effect that
at general meeting Of the DISCIPLES les:
Church, near Museville, held during the
ca1nnaign ana attended by thousands OF
people. a considerable proportion OF
whom were voters, Duncan got IN some me
lively work at two lemonade stands there
erected, It is, gravey alleged that at
ore Of the stands aforesaid he treated
s,ndrv voters to the vote-winnng fluid,
all Of which cost the said Duncan be
tween forty and forty-hve cents" me
exact change is not stated. although the
document was drawn up by three able
LAWYERS, and the testimony seemed to be
handy enough At the other lemonade
stand Duncan does not seem to have been
quite SO liberal. for 1t is stated IN this
formidable legal document that the
amount expended In the purchase OF the
seductive but exceedingly mild beverage
was somewhat smaller.
Mr. Duncan, SO q special dispatch tells
US, has filed his answer to these charges,
and the same covers several pages OF
typewriter legal cap. We have not seen
q COPY vet, but 1t does not seem to us
that several pages Of typewriter legal
cap would be necessary to rldicule MT
Vadcn's lemonade document out Of court,
A small page Of note paper ought to be
sufficient. g
We mention this remarkable case to
show that efforts are being made N
various parts Of the State to bellttle the
primary plan adopted by the Democratic
State Convention. and to discredit 1t with
| the people. Other cases might be men
| toned, but 1t Is unnecessary. The pri-
mary cannot be downed in that manner
1t is n good thing. It may be SO amend
ed as to be made better, and doubtless
will be, for 1t has come to stay, and
