TIE PRIMARY.

~ three TO one the delegates to Roa-
no,,e arc in favor of the primary. And
the reason for this overwhelming sup
port Is the belief that the primary,
with all its defects, represents the VIII

Old methods did.

Of which favor the primary, with IS

favor of the primary, 80 think the
state should bear the expense. and -
desire the primary to be legalized.
II is interesting to note That y
of the l01 responses do not desire any
change made at all though in nearly
every instance where criticism or sug-
Sestion is made, it is in the Inc OF
reducing the expense, and opening the
opnortunities wider for men of small

some suggest that the primary be re-
stricted to local officers, and the Gov
ernor and congressman be excluded
from the primary. Four replies urged
that restrictions be placed around the
primary which will prevent any but
Democrats from voting.
The marked trend of all the replies,
however, is towards establishing the
right of the individual voter In the
fullest and freest way. 1t Is also Sic
,,ificant that the friends of the primary
have a reason for the faith that Is
in them, while those opposed to the
urinary content themselves In almost
every instance to saying that they do
not like that system. The percentage
of those replying in favor of the pri-
mary is a little over r. and their
answers show that in the great ma
iority Of Instances their interest is not
a light affair. Even those who arc
opposed to the primary are not in every
instance ready to destroy it. Ono
reply says. In answer to the question
are you in favor of the primary? NO
but give it fair trial" others say
that they are opposed to The primary

encouraging for the friends of the
primary to find that an impartial can
vass discloses such an enormous pro-
pondarance in its favor. While the
canvass we give to-day by no means
decides the course that Roanoke will
take, 1T makes the retention of the
primary almost foregone conclusion.

DIR. BRYAN AND THE CoNTR1Bu-

The emphatic denial of Mr.. BRYAN
that he had any knowledge or a con-

disproof of Mr.. Bryans completely in
the transaction. Even those who he
lieve that the contribution has been
made gave no credence to the most
serious part of the New York Worlds

chased by tho contribution.
But that the money was sent to Ne
braska and spent in behalf of Mr.
Bryan's campaign for the Senate has
not Yet been denied either by Mr.. Allen
or Mr. Dahlman or Mr.. Sheehan. Nor
has there been a denial that the gift
came originally from Mr.. Ryan. FOR
bheehan's statement that the money
was taken from the general fund is
not inconsistent with Mr.. Ryan's gen
crosby toward such funds, nor does il
Show that he may not have indicated

,rIrE, GROWTH OF THE SOUTHERN
HARDWARE INDUSTRY.

HARDWARE INDUSTRY.
Ono of the factors leading to thel
belief that the present business de-
presslon is to be OF short duration as
cnrnpared with those of former periods
is the accumulation of wealth and
capital in the West and South, which
so differentiates the present time from
1873 aud 1898.
An example of this accumulation Is
given by Hardware for May in show
ing the growth of tho Southern hard
ware industry since 1850 In that year,
out of $40 establishments manufactur-
ling hardware in the whole country but
eight We're in the South. BY 1851. lhey
Ehad increased to but nine.
The following table Will exhibit the
subsequent progress:
No, of Capital Wages Value of \
Mfs. invested. paid. products.

1850 81 ao4yo5o la7,3sS 537o45
1906 IS ,s4l5ost 27e,5l7 s5a,s2s
The decrease in the number of es-
tabiiahments from 1850 to 1905 only
I shows the tendency to concentration of
capital and effort, for during the Same
time there was an increase both in
4 Investment and output. In forty-fve
7. years capital increased thirty-fold, the
value of products twelve, the amount
OF wages paid over ten, and the value
Of materials used fifteen.
As stun further showing the progress
I made, II Is pointed out that while IN
II 1850 the aggregate value of all hard
ware goods throughout the South was
! only $l6,ooo,ooo, by 1905 tho value OF
such goods had reached the enormous
sum Of $5i.O0O,ooo, In 1870 the total
i number of hardware dealers, manufac-
} turers and jobbcrs was Approximately

dealers alone is 5000
