The Final Primary.

The second primary of last Thurs
day passed without the least disturb
ance of any kind in the county,
though the interest and partisan
feeling ran high until the closeing of
the polls. The voters in Monroe
county were mostly concerned in the
contest for Governor and Sheriff
both Of which were decided by very
close figures, considering the num-
Der Of ballots cast, while several
other smaller offices, such as super
visors and justices Of the peace, were
warmly wrestled for. as the official
returns demonstrate.
1t was thought after Mr.. Scott S
splendid lead for Governor in the
first primary his strength would 60
largely to Mr.. Noel as the nearest
exponent Of his views during the
campaign, but developments proved
otherwise and the county was car
ried for Mr.. Brewer by narrow
margin.
In the run-Off of the tie-vote be-
tween Messrs. T. K. Caldwell and
J. NJ. Parchman for the third place
on the legislative ticket, Capt
Caldwell was successful and with his
former experience in the house will
make a good representative.
The run-off for Sheriff between
Messrs. T. o. Jones and J. d. Coop
er probably centered the greatest
interest of the day, and it was not
until all the precincts were heard
from that the result was found to be
in favor of Mr.. Jones by a small
but safe majority. Mr.. Jones filled
the office of Chancery Clerk eight
years and his ability and compe-
tency for any position are univer-
ally recognized and appreciated
The election did not produce in the
State a more acceptable and deserv-
ing incumbent of the sheriff's office.
Messrs. Eikner, Lowe and Bailey
were reelected supervisors from the
third, fourth and fifth districts, by
which the voters of the county gave
expression to their endorsement of
the progressive policies inaugurated
and pursued by the board during
the last four years and which they
will be enabled to continue to final
successful issue.
As far as we have heard comment,
the result in all respects has been
gracefully accepted and all are glad
that the long drawn-out campaign
is closed.

Various and sundry objections
are being urged against the existing
primary election system, guaged
principally by the degree of disap-
pointment experienced by partisans
of defeated candidates as well as
some of those whose majorities were
too small. In this mass of criti-
cism of the statute can be detected
a sentiment to readjust it to suit
particular Whims or its repeal en-
tirely. but the primary has come to
stay for the election of constable,
sheriff and all other officials includ-
ing United States senator, and the
legislator who would for a moment
advocate its repeal or the curtail-
ment of its scope, would take a step
fatal to any future aspiration. The
law should, if possible, be so
amended as to tighten the burden
of expense to the State candidate
and to provide payment for the en-
tire force of election officers, but the
people will not accept the abridge-
ment of any of its essential features.

Open Air Concert

The Fl Centro band gave Its second open air concert last Sunday afternoon and judging from the applause and compliments from, the crowd which listened it was easily evident that the event was a great success. The boys are becoming accustomed to each other and can work admirably together, thus producing the best effect possible with the limited number of instruments in the band.
 A large crowd occupied the hotel veranda, upstairs and down, and many in from the country enjoyed the music from their rigs.
 Prof. Antonio Scarpa, who directs the band, was the recipient of many compliments and had to acknowledge several encores. He has instructed the musicians in way that produces the music and aside from little ner- vousness the boys followed hls baton regularly.
 Another open air concert will be given by the Fl Centro band next Sun day, February 23d. This will be good news to those who heard the band last Sunday. The following is list of the players and Instruments:
