THE PRIMARY.

The Record is in receipt Of a
letter from ore OF its subscribers
at Reed complaining at the ac-
tion Of the democratic county
central committee in throwing
the primary open to republican
voters. He says the democrats
Of his section are very much dis
satisfied with this action Of the
committee, and requests the ed
itor Of this paper to offer means
OF remedying the situation.
We don't suppose there is any
way to remedy the matter 80 far
as the approaching primary is
concerned. We suppose the will
OF the central committee is law
in this case.
But there is a way TO prevent
such a thing occurring again.
The central committee will be
reorganized at the next county
convention by the delegates to
the county convention. II these
delegates favor a straight demo-
cratic primary and will see to 1t
that men who favor q straight
democratic primary are chosen
as township committeeman, the
democratic primary in 1912 will
be u DEMOCRATIC primary.
That's the way to do IL.

On the Sth day Of August of
each year the Clerk, as required
by law, publishes financial
statement of the condition of the
several revenues of the county.
Or the Sth day Of August, 1909,
he published the financial con-
ditioD Of the county, except the
condition of the several school
districts, in which he stated;
"a statement of the financial
condition of the school districts
of Sharp county is omitted for
the reason that the county has
no Treasurer acting to give an
authentic statement Of same"
On the 18th day Of May, 1909,
S. D. Johnston, County Treas
urer Of Sharp county, Arkansas,
appointed Owen G. Shaver, Dep
uty Treasurer, who took charge
Of the Office as such deputy on

DAVE KING.

This paper has neither abuse
nor mud to throw at Judge John
Meeks or Would-be Judge Buck
Baker.
This paper hopes Dave King
will defeat his two opponents
and is giving him its support for
some very good reasons, at least
reasons that satisfy this paper.
Dave King is Sharp county
man.
This paper is for Sharp county
and Sharp county men.
II Dave King does not rank
ahead Of his opponents in ability,
he is at least their equal.
Then, why not support Dave
King?
Judge Meeks has held the Of.
flee two terms, or eight years,
at the fat salary Of $1,000 per
year.
Therefore, Judge Meeks has
already drawn $4,000 for his
services to the public.
The last legislature raised the
circuit judges salary to $4,000 a
year.
Now, Judge Meeks stretches
forth his hand and says:
"Men and brethren | would
thank you for $4,000 more!"
Very modest man, this Judge
Meeks.
Buck Baker is q very fine
man.
We like him,
But
He's dead one.
1t has been our unbroken rule
Of a lifetime, thus far, never to
utter a word against the dead.
