Helm And Puryear Sweep The County
The Formers Majority Being 547,
The Latters 277.

The first compulsory primary election
ever held in Garrard county went off
quietly, there not being brawl of any
kind throughout the county. The vote
was heavier than was expected. Har-
vey Helm for Congress defeated Jere
Sullivan by majority of SAT votes,
while Emmett v. Puryear carried the
county over w. S. Burch by majority
of 227. j. w. Dinsmore republican
candidate for congress without oppo-
sitson received only twelve votes in the
county. 1t was tacitly understood that
while Dinsmore's name appeared under
the Log Cabin, that he was a "Bnll
Moose, and the adherents to that
faith would not support him because
his name appeared under the republi.
can emblem, and the old line republi.
cans withheld their support because OF
his alleged support of the Progressive
ideas, so he caught it going and coming.

U. 5. Government Accepts Option On Lo
cal Property To Be Used As Site
For Federal Building.

The U. S. Government has for some
time held options on several pieces OF
local property to be used as a site fol-
the Government building; they at one
time decided upon the Park in the GEN.
ter of the Public Square as the site,
but owing to the differences existing
between the town and county as to the
ownership of that property they aban-
doned the idea of utilizing it, and last
week they notified Mrs. Emma P.
Grant that her property, upon which
they held an option would be accepted
as the site for the proposed site. The
price to be paid Mrs. Grant is $45OO.
and in addition to this about Is or &c
front feet have been purchasd from
the Presbyterian church for which the
sum Of $500. will be paid the two pieces
OF property will give frontage of Isl
feet on Danville street and the lot will
be 200 feet deep to the alley. The dea

SsAoSe Va eASiC WiiiCH tut government
requires, and when that is prepared
and accepted, the money will be paid
the appropriation having been made
some time since for the purchase Of
the site. There is regret felt by some
at the failure to place the Fedora
building in the center of the square
but there are great many people who
strenuously object to its being located
there, however, there is general feel
ing of delight that site has actually
been decided upon as this means that
we are surely to have building, just
when we are unable to say, but its ul
innate erection is assursd.

The estimated cost of the great Pam

$400, 600, 900. This in round numbers,
would be about four dollars to each

In a speech gemmed with flowers OF

lawyer and son of Senator Bankhead,
placed in nomination the name Of Os-
car W. Underwood.
This magnificent convention is pro-
phetic of democratic victory in No
vember.' began Bankhead THE re-
publican party has become, in the hours
of its present degeneracy, the embodi-
ment of complacent incompetancy and
broken faith.
For months the people of this coun-
try have been confronted by the humil.

and the presen. chief executive of the
United States engaged in TRADE of
determinations in which the vocabu-
larry of biilingsgate has been exhaust
ed"
Criticising both republican insur-
gents and standpatters, Bankhead
charged against the G. o. p. that "the
sum total of its achievements has been
the further impoverishment Of the
poor" He then continued:
we challenge the opposition to sue
cessfully deny that every essential
pledge of the last democratic plat
form has been kept in spirit and let

and would be in force and eff

sible opposition,and brutal veto power
of republican president
And though success, under right
conditions. Is within our grasp, never
has IT been more essential than now
for us TO nominate our best and
strongest man"
Bankhead declared that the tariff is
the paramount issue.
SO unjust is the present tariff that
no one today dares rise up and defend
its further continuance. for it stands
for industrial fayoritism and indus.

which is artificial and spasmodIc and
