Primary Law
Giving Trouble

County Clerk Will Ryan, who IS
one of the best posted men on the
Primary Law in Nevada, has discov-
red a point in the law which may
eventually upset the primary cleo
ton. In Section II, paragraph 8, it
is provided that at the bottom of the
last column on any official primary
election ballot there shall be left one
blank space which shall be preceded
by the words, County Committee
man" As the law does not provide
how the County Committeeman shall
be placed on the ballot Clerk Ryan
wrote to Attorney-General Stoddard
and asked whether or not a candi-
date for County Committeeman had
to secure certain number of sigma
lures to a petition the same as other
candidates. In reply the Attorney
General stated that petitions are not
to be filed in the case of County
Committeeman, but, the blank spaces

The Primary Law itself does not
authorize the writing of any names,
and the law further provides that
the General Election Law shall gov
ern when points in the Primary Law
are not clear, and any writing on a
ballot would be considered an iden-
tifcation mark and the ballot would
be thrown out. This is a very impor-
tant matter and an effort should be
made to get an opinion from the SUI

Nevada Wool
Crop The Finest

George w. Callahan, the wool buy
er, returned this morning from bus
mess trip extending to Lake View,
Oregon; Twin Falls, Idaho, and Og
den, Utah.
Mr.. Callahan says that that the
Mr.. Callahan says that the Nevada
clip was not so large this spring as
usual, owing to the hard winter and
the dry spring. The f1ecces, how
ever, are of good quality.
Prices range from IA to 10 cents.
While this is several times the price
paid during Cleveland adminstra-
ton, when wool reached low water
mark, it is six or seven cents below
the highest price on record since that
time.
The cause of the relatively low
price is the failure of the Eastern
manufacturers to land large orders
for heavy fabrics and the worsted,
which was to have opened i'll June,
was deferred. The manufacturers.
therefore, adopted the hand to mouth
principal of buying. A better feel
ing now prevails in the East and the
outlook for the TALL clip, which is
unusually light. in this state is very
good.-Gazette.

Durham to Hear Gore.

Durham, Aug. 20.-The Elks have
received through their exalted ruler,
w. G. Bramham, letter from Senator
Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma, in
which he accepts the invitation to ad-
dress the people of the city under the
auspices of the Elks at an early date,
perhaps in September. Senator Gore
is an enthusiastic Elk, in addition 10
which he is one of the most eloquent
men in the country. The date of his
coming will not be announced until
next week, but it is expected to be
sometime in the next month, perhaps
the middle. At the announcement of
the date the subject is also to be dis
closed.
The coming of the senator isn't an.
nounced as an aid to that proposition,
but it will be pretty nearly contempo-
raneous with an agitation for m Elks'
home, an institution that the order
has declared for, it is an uncommon
l yf1ourishing lodge has oodles of
money and no debts. 1t is very much
alive on the, proposition to build a

What Has Chemist FOUND?

The analysis of the stomach of
young Edward Cromwell, who was
found dead in the Rock Spring hotel
after the fire that destroyed that
building about ten days ago, will pro-
badly be completed by Wednesday,
but DR.. G.. D. Bell, the coroner of this
county, does not know whether the re-
port of the finding of the chemist will
be made to him or to the solicitor.
Yesterday DR.. Bell received let
ter from the state chemist saying if
he had to come here to testify it.
would S25 a day, but that he would
want an arrangement made so that
he would not have to remain at the
trial more than a day. 1t is regarded
as a little significant that a letter
should have been written concerning
court for if no trace of poison is found
in the stomach the state would have
no use for the chemist who made the
analysis, but if poison is found he
would be a very material witness.
1t was rumored on the streets yes
terday that Holly had made a state
ment concerning the Rock Spring af-
fair, but al; efforts to run down the
rumor proved futile.
Capt. w. A. Scott, deputy insurance
commissioner, will probably arrive in
| the city today and be ready to go to
work Monday for the purpose Of see
ing if there is any evidence to show
! that the hotel fire was of incendiary
origin.
| In addition to the firm of Ricaud &
Empie, retained by Holly soon after
his arrest, he is said to have secured
the services of Herbert McClammy,

Will Not Punish Sailors.

Washington, D. c., August 22.-The
efforts of w. H. Ellis, of New York, to
have President Taft and the navy de-
partment perpetrate second Browns
vile episode by charging number OF
sailors and marines, whom newspa
pers charged with beating negroes in
cident to the returns of the Jeffries.
Johnson prize fight on the night OF
July 4, having been in vain.
The president has turned the re.
quest down and the commandant OF
the Norfolk navy yard has reported
to the navy department after care
full investigation that he has nothing
to warrant meeting out severe punish
ment to the men under his command.
He states that he is convinced that
several men were out of barracks tnat
night and that probably some of them
became involved in the fights. but
that he finds nothing to indicate that
they had done more than was done
in hundreds of other cities in the Unit
ed States the same night, and which
amounted to but few fights, 50 ne
broken noses and injured feelings.
The navy department will let the
matter drop here, believing that the
commandant of the Norfolk ma ~ yard
is capable of taking care of the men
under him, and that if any of then
deserve punishment they will get it
from him.

Government Buys smokeIess Coal.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 22.-The Smoke
less Fuel Company, which maintains
offices here, has been awarded a con-
tract by the United States govern
ment to supply it's torpedoboats at
this station with 10000 tons of what
has been designated "The Torpedo
boat Pocahontas Coal"
Just when the first cargo will be
taken on is not known. The contract
terday.
The above designated coal is mined
at the Superior-Pocahontas mines at
Davy, w. Virginia. The government
uses large quantity of coal for fuel
ing it's torpedoboats and torpedoboat
destroyers, a coal which will not
clinker easily, and which is smoke
less as well as free from any large
quantity of ash, being required. AS
the speed of these boats is great the
tendency is for the ordinary coal to
cover the deck with cinders. The.
government wished to avoid such
contingency.
Recently the government took q
train load of ffty-four cars of coal
from the Smokeless Company to
Charleston. s. c., where the tests
were made. 1t is learned that the
coal was purchased at a premium
over the market price, with an added
premium of three cent? per ton for
each additional 100 b. t. us in exce5-
of $1,000.

er, Of Wilson, for Solicitor at Same
Convention.
The Republicans of Nash county.

Saturday and left the naming of the
county ticket to seven men and Chair
man ]. C. Matthews.
r. A. P. Cooley was endorsed for
congress, ]. A. Farmer of Wilson, for
solicitor; James B. Gaskill, of Tar
boro, for Judge, and John D. Dawes, of

endorsement were made by Bernard
Brooks, recent recruit to the party.
Col. w. S. Bailey presided over the
deliberations of the meeting.
The action of the convention was
agreed upon in caucus, and the con-
vention was harmonious for the most
part.
When the report reached here late
Saturday that Mr.. John Dawes had
been endorsed for state senator, his
Wilson friends felt sure that the ac-
ton of the Nash convention was with
out his permission and this opinion
proved, of course to be correct Mr..
Geo. w. Connor phoned to Mr. Dawes
regarding the endorsement. Mr.. Con-
nor learned from him that Mr.. Dawes
knew nothing of the action of the
Nash county Republicans until late
Saturday afternoon; that it's action
was without his solicitation and was
support Thorne and Holding, Demo
cratic nominees for the senate as he
has always DONE" !
Mr.. Dawes friends are indignant at
the unwarranted use of his name by
the Republicans of Nash county. He
has twice represented the Seventh
senatorial district in the senate and
is an earnest, useful Democrat-al-
ways found in the front of the bat
ties of Democracy. -.--ssss
Mr.. J. A. Farmer of Wilson who
was endorsed by the Nash county Ee-

tor was interviewed this morning. MIR.
Farmer said that he thoushr l. vas
generally understood hat he was
out of politics, that his large iarll-
ing interests and law practice de
manded all his attetion and while he
appreciated the action of his friends
in endorsing him for the position Of
solicitor yet he is compelled to de-
cline the nomination.
