Result of Primary.

The democratic primary passed OH
quietly throughout the county yester-
day. The returns show that the vote
was lighter than two years ago oy
several hundred votes, From the par
tial returns, which we have gatE cred,
it seems that Col, j, Brooks Wingard
is elected to the House on the hrst
ballot, and it is probable that Hon,
Isaac Edwards is also elected, AS 1t
now stands the second race for the
House will be between Shuler and
Redd,
Wingard has defeated Malpass for
treasurer; Drafts is again elected
judge of probate over Hayes,
For county commissioners no one
seems to have received majority and
James Caughman, S, Rufus Smith, ",
l., Addy, and John w, Smith will be
in the second race,
The remaining boxes to be heard
from are SO remote that we do not
feel it would be wise to hold-over un-
till the official count is made to-mor~
row, as the result could hardly be
changed, We will print the official
tabulation next week

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED.
Beck Homestead on Belgrade Road
Destroyed Thursday Morning.

The old homestead on the Belgrade
road. which has belonged to the Beck
family for the last 80 years. was COM
pletely destroyed by fire at an early
hour Thursday morning. William f.
Beck who, with an aged lady, Mrs
Tfask, occupied the house, stated
Yesterday that he was awakened by
a sitting smell of smoke at about
$50. and upon investigating found
the kitchen. storeroon and shed en-
veloped in flames. Fred Garland
one of the rural mail carriers, who
is now on vacation and was passing
the house shortly before o'clock on
his way after load of wood, is re-
ported to have seen the fire and tried
to arouse the inmates of the house by
knocking at the different doors Fail
ing in this he went to the house Of
Eugene Bennett nearby to get his as
sistance. 1t was probably during this
interval that Mr. Beck was awakened
Mr.. Garland and Mr.. Bennett assist
ed in getting Mrs. Trask out of the
house and also helped Mr.. Beck get
the livestock from the barn.
