because persons OF other parties have voted at
primaries, but we have no doubt that this evil
will be remedied. On the whole, we do not be-
lieve that the Republicans of this county would
be willing to take up the plan of nomination by
county conventions especially when there is COM
plant in the lower counties against that system.
Certainly there is everything in the character
OF the nominees on the Republican county ticket
this year to encourage those in the lower coun-
ties who are in favor of direct nominations in
stead of nominations by conventions. The pri-
mary plan is coming more and more into favor
throughout the country.

couNTY NOMINATIONS.

HE Milford Chronicle III h is. is convinced C Of the
method of making nominations for the county
and legislative ticket The Chronicle remarks
that a result of the system OF direct vote of the
people the Republicans Of New Castle county
have nominated strong, clean ticket of repre-
sentative Republicans. 1t asks what the Repub-
hcans Of Kent and Sussex counties will do at their
conventions, which TO make nominations
for the tickets in those counties. We know what
they ought to do and whatwe hope they will do
that IS. nominate tickets containing the names of
the very best men in the counties. Good nomina-
tions help all around.
The nomination by direct vote, while Il may
have some drawbacks is, we believe, far better
than the system of convention nominations
In this county some objection has been made

KENT LEVY COURT MATTER.

I HE Kent County Levy Court acted wisely in
4 placing the report of its investigating COM
mittec with the Encouragement for scrutiny The
report reached after careful investigation in
which the attorney for the court, Mr. Anderson,
very materially assisted 1t is proper that the
Encouragement should pass upon the question of
whether certain officials of Kent county have
been involved sufficiently in alleged wrong-doing
to make them subject to criminal prosecution.
Mr. Richards will give the subject his serious
attention. The course pursued by the Levy Court
is the only course in Justice to the men alleged to
be implicated and to the country we'll II hats
the FIRE from the Democrats who have been
sailing the work OF the Republican Levy Court
The court replies that it will condone no sus-
pioion of wrong. 1t has made clean breast of
the matter and tells the voters of Kent that
the affairs OF the county shall be administered
properly and legally. There is no fear that the
party will be hurt by the procedure of the Levy
Court In this county the Republicans have had
experience with officials who went wrong, They
were punished and the party is stronger than ever
in the county firmly holding the confidence of
the taxpayers.
Certain officials of Kent have been accused Of
wrong doing, They have not been proved guilty.
Their cases will be fairly considered, without
prejudice or malice, with the sole idea OF justice.

CATHOLIC CHURCH'S
NEW MARRIAGE RULES
Become Effective Sunday
Over POpe'S Domain.

NEW YORK, April 16.-(SpeciaD -
Important changes in the marriage
regulations of the Catholic Cchurch
will become effective Sunday through
out the country, in compliance with
the Papal decree. me Temere. A
synopsis of the rules follows:
1. All engagements and promises
to marry to be valid, must be signed
in writing by the contracting parties,
also by the parish priest or by the
bishop, or at least by two witnesses.
2. Marriages of Catholics or of
those who ever were Catholics will
be valid only when celebrated by a
parish priest, bishop of the diocese
or by priest delegated by either,
and at least two witnesses. The two
exceptions to this are in case a priest
cannot be had, in which case the
parties may, after a month, contract
privately in presence of two witnesses;
second, in danger of death, when
parties may marry before any priest
and two witnesses.
8. Marriages to be both valid and
lawful must be celebrated before the
pastor of the parties or before a
priest allowed by him.
4. Before Catholics who are mar
ried outside the church can regard
must go before a priest and be re-
married.
The new law requires the record of
marriages in the baptismal records
as we'll as the marriage record.

COTTON EXCHANGE TO
CLOSE ON MAY |
After Supplying Needs for
Over s Months.

On May l the local Cotton Exchange
will be closed for the season. The
Exchange was opened the latter part
of August, and will have been in
operation a few days over eight
months. 1t had been planned to close
two months. ago, but the slowness
with which the local stock has been
marketed made the full reports from
the New York and New Orleans mar
kets valuable.
During the months that the Ex-
change has been open it has been in
charge of Mr.. James L. Williams, an
expert operator from Montgomery,
who was formerly connected with
the Associated Press. His work has
been of a most satisfactory nature,
his previous experience in handling
markets for newspapers having made
him fully familiar with the work re-
quired here. Mr.. Williams has ac-
cepted the invitation of the Exchange
directors to return in the fall and
take charge of the Exchange again.
Besides taking the New York, New
Orleans and Liverpool cotton mark
cts, the Exchange has posted the
New York stock quotations and the
Chicago grain and meat market quo
tatfOns.
After the closing of the Exchange,
the cotton factors will take a limited
service, receiving the quotations ev-
cry fifteen minutes.

FOR CHIEF OF POLICE
A CONTEST is NAGING
Successor TO Chief Feaqin
Will be Named.

The election of Chief of Police W.
H. Feagin as sheriff of Sumter coun-
ty will, of course, create a vacancy
in the police department and, at the
same time, insure lively race among
possible aspirants to the position of
police chief, Chief Feagin does not
enter upon his duties as sheriff until
January 1st, next, and in the interim
of nearly nine months will continue
to be- the best chief in Georgia. The
election of his successor by the
Board of Police Commissioners will
scarcely be considered until some
time late in the year, but in the mean
time not a few aspirants may cast
longing glances at the red buggy and
gold badge with chief" inscribed
upon each. The vacancy will, with
out doubt, be filled from the ranks
of officers now in the department, as
experience is required of a man fill
ing such responsible position.

mere shifting of residence, care will
be taken that they are only counted
once.
Mr.. Persons stated yesterday that
he would not complete the count be-
fore May 1, delaying so that new
