Senator Camm Patteson, a close
friend and staunch supporter of Hon.
Thomas 8. Martin, in a communlca-
ton recently given to the public says,
THAT Mr.. Martin Is opposed to a state
primary and indeed to the election OF
United States Senators directly by the
people," This being true a deliverance
on the subject from the junior senator
would be interesting and seems to be
necessary. The Democratic State Com
mittee, having endorsed the primary
principle, have the right to know his
reasons for Disappearing the same
The people of the State, whose servant
he is or ought to be, have the right to
know why he is unwilling to trust
them to take part in the selection OF
his successor for the United States
Senate. His friend, Mr.. Camm Pate
son, has given him the opportunity tc
enlighten his constituents in the mat
ter and surely no one occupying the
high and honorable position which he
does can afford to dodge the question
or by silence ignore it.

The value of the Produce Exchange
to the people of the Eastern Shore was
proven recently in way to convince
every farmer, that it is his duty to
stand by the organization and do all in
his power to enlarge its sphere OF
operations and promote its efficiency
Summed up briefly, while sweet pota-
toes were being sold in New York a
few days ago at 1925 per barrel, Mana
ger Burton declined to sell them at
less than $3.50 per barrel delivered at
stations In this county and received
that price for them. Comment is un-
necessary. Any farmer can see that
the decline in the price OF sweets,
which was prevented by the firm stand
taken by the Exchange, saved them
thousands of dollars.

Reports from Amherst county are to
the effect that lively campaign LOT
the House of Delegates nomination In
that district Is now on, and 1t promises
to be very warm before the primary,
should one be held. The lively feature
is added to the campaign by the can
didacy of ex-Judge Clarence j. Camp
bell, who will make vigorous can can,
vass in the hope of election. The
Judge would regard his election to the
House as in the nature Of a vindlca-
tion after his removal from the cOun-
tv iudgeship. He is being opposed by
Er' Don Scott, one of the best known
and strongest men in the county.
