What are primary elections
for?' This is the question most
commonly asked by people visiting
from the various parts of the county,
in speaking of the various cam
paigns Of Messrs. H C. Lynn. and
John p. Schott and F. B. Irvine.
That's inst the point. It's about
time that politicians were convinced
that they will get just as far by fair
methods free from duplicity as they
will by political subterfuges.

nominee for the office to which he

voter in the county who can bring
forth one valid reason for jumping

Personally. the writer believes that
there are sufficient reasons why he
should vote for and support all of

may not agree with that view. But
where is the Republican voter that
can conscientlously say that he can

RoWerdinks votes will not all come

SPRING OATS

While there is no reasonably conve-
nient way to get at the extent of the
oat crop acreage in York county, 1t Is
quite certain that that acreage is larg-
er than 1t was last year, and from the
different reports that have been
brought to the attention of The En-
quirer, the outlook for satisfactory
yields is about as good as could be ex-
pected at this season Of the year.
The reporter overheard a discussion
of the oat question among several
farmers yesterday, and some interest
ing points were developed. One Of the
farmers said that last year he made
nearly one thousand bushels of oats,
and not counting anything for rent Of
the land or interest on the investment,
he calculates that the oats did not cost
him more than q cents bushel. An
other member Of the same party said
that last year he had patch of about
three acres of oats and vetch. and af-
ter feeding four horses and seven cows
during the summer he sold the bal
ance Of the mixture for $117 cash.
During the discussion mention was
made of numerous farmers who each
have twenty or more acres in oats, and
as the acquaintance of these farmers
extends pretty well over the county, 1t
appears that oats are more or less
plentiful in all sections and generally
they are doing WELL

WITHIN THE TOWN

Rev. DIR. E. E Gillespie has declined
the call he recently received to Char
lotte.
There is some local interest in the
question as to whether the old court
house contains a corner stone, and so
far as has been gathered there is no
record in regard to the matter. The
foreman in charge Of the demolition
work has the matter in mind and will
be in a position to see today or tomo'-
row.
The millinery openings are always
interesting, and from the very care
fully prepared advertisements Of the
Thomson Co., ard the Kirkpatrick
Belk company, it would appear that
the displays at these two stores tomor-
row and Thursday are to be still more
interesting and unusual. There will
be on display not only the newest in
millinery, but lots Of pretty fabrics and
plenty to give thorough going ideas as
to all the latest fashions.

tations of snow on Saturday and dur

Miracle Mary" the drama to be
shown at the Lyric tonight Is a repro
duction of the powerful story Of John
A. Moroso, which appeared in the
Christmas number of the American
Magazine. 1t is a Salvation Army
story, hinging around the conversion
of discharged convict, who was after
ward convicted on general principles,
Notwithstanding the correct life he had
been leading in the meantime. The
man Shorty" was sent up for life
for a burglary he did not commit be-
cause Of his failure to establish an
alibi, that was honest and true. He
claimed that on the day Of the crime
he was working on the grounds used
for an aviation meet at such distance
from the scene Of the burglary that he
could not have been there; but the
foreman in charge Of the grounds tes-
titled that he had never seen Shorty
before. Miracle Mary" visits the pris-
on on Christmas, and is guest at all

ed for the convicts. Included in the
entertainment is picture show and as

the trial, and there among the work.

recognized him, all the convicts recog-
nlZed him, as did the superintendent
of the prison and all was excitement.
The facts were promptly laid before
the governor and Shorty is pardoned,
after which he goes back to the Saliva
ton Army. The story is an unusually
strong one throughout.
