called the daughter to the room and she

clothing from her grandmother with her
hands.
Mrs Shannon was burned from foot to
shoulders, but the flames did not reach
her face and head. She was attended by
: Drs. H. T. Hehin and Drake. While she
was suffering great pain last night it
may be two weeks before her condition
will change for better or worse.

form, and he has done some things that

The Early Primary.

Ii is an interesting and noteworty fact
that the leaders in administration cir
cles are now urging one of the very
things for which they so bitterly attacked
the old ring" during the last campaign
an early primary. They have called upon
the state committee, which meets Thurs
day, to call one primary and one state
convention, in June, as 1t will have to be
held in time for the selection of delegates
to the national democratic convention at
Denver on July Z.
This general demand for an early pri-
mary, coming from within administration
circles has led Hon. Seaborn Wright Of
Floyd who wants to be a candidate for
senator but who wants a late primary to
further his plans to raise the cry as to
whether he has cotton into another
ring
Mr.. Wrights demand for late pri-
mary say in August is exastly in line
with the old views of the new regime,
but Is in total discord with the new views
of the new regime. He felt that he had a
right to expect his friends, the admins
tration, 10 stand by.its old demand for a
late primary, and he can't understand
what looks like a flop.
The argument used to be that the farm
ers were busy in June and couldn't get
out to vote: now 1t is that the people of
the state should not be burdened with
two primsries. which was exactly the
contention Of the old ring
The probability seems to be that the
state committee will follow the advice Of
the leaders and call one primary to be
held late In May or early in June; but In
80 doing 1t will have to ignore the atti-
tude Of Mr.. Wright, who still stands on
this proposition where his political
friends stood prior to their advent into
more prominent Official life.
Altogether the situation Is not devoid
OF interest even for an off year in state
politics.

Out in the dewy morning,
With its wide horizon line,
Earth with her voice of music.
Speaks to this soul of mine:
"Chld of my heart and life,
List how my songs are blent,
Take of my healing balm,
Drink of my deep content"
Out in the heated MONDAY,
When all the songs are still,
Saving the lOcust's whistle
Or grooming of the soft-voced rill;
thrilling deep in my soul.
Cometh the voice anew:
"Take of the balm of peace,
Fresh from my heart for you"
But when the sun is sinking
Into the twilight dim,
And out of the mist of evening
Rise phantOms, tall and grim,
Then list to the lulling voice:
"Come to my heart and rest,
Healing and health be thine,
Close folded to my breast!
