In other words, there can be
no name placed on the official
ballot under the Democratic
column as the nominee for any
precinct, county or state office
or any executive committeeman
appointed unless he be chosen
at primary election held on
primary election day.
After the primaries are held,
any candidate so desiring can
be placed upon the official bal
lot as an independent by pre-
senting to the county Judge a
petition containing 81 gners
equal to 5 per cent of the total
vote cast at the last general
election, and each one Of these
petitioners must be qualified
voter and swear that he has not
voted in a primary election.
1t is, therefore, up to candi-
dates in this county to enter the
primaries or to 60 on the ticket
as independent candidates.

never see him again, as she herself
was about to undergo the surgeons
knife. But she little thought that the
life of the bright, happy child, the
very picture Of health. would be
snuffed out in a few hours.
On Sunday evening the child ap-
peared ill and developed high fever.
Later he became worse and suffered
spasms. 1t was deemed necessary
yesterday to move him 10 q nospltai,

was taken sick, the end came while
the mother lay all unconscious OF

In the afternoon the news was brok-
