Marion-Sumter Fair

Ocala.-The Marion-Sumter fair,
which has closed, was a success, both
in point Of exhibits and entertainment
and also in the matter of attendance.
The crowds did not come up to the
expectations of the management yet
they have been gatherings Of represen.
tative people. The corn display was
not so abundant as in former years,
nor was the corn itself so good, but
there were twenty-six exhibits from
the boys corn clubs, which in itself
is encouraging. Some of the ears are
very large.

from the community affected, and for
that reason it is generally conceded 1t
would be practically impossible to put
through a county division bill without
the support of Senator Hines. Wheth-
er he would favor or oppose such bill
is not known. 1t is believed that the
bill could be passed through the house
without any trouble, but it might run
into a snag in the senate if Senator
Hines opposed it.

RATES REASONABLE


Bucharest.-Th Roumanian parlia-
ment has convened and the future
course of action of this kingdom prob
ably will be decided. 1t is said Rou-
mania is prepared to cede to Bulgaria
some of the territory which she OBJ
tanned after the second Balkan war
at the expense of her neighbor. This
may mean that Bulgaria is about to
take her stand with the allies and in
return be permitted to straighten out
her boundaries and take more OF the
country now inhabited by her ma
tiOnals.

Nav Grow Dasheens

Jacksonville.-A "dasheen expert
Of the United States department of
agriculture, gave some sound advice
the other day to the growers of the
more or less delicious and nutritious
tuber in this state, when he cautioned
them against growing dasheens in
quantity greater than necessary for
home use. He said it would take time
to create a demand for dasheens that
would bring them into market rivalry
with the Irish potato.

The log cabin Democrat., 1914-01-07

A vote of fully 2,7OO, the largest ever cast at county primary, with the nomination of nine good men for county offices and the defeat of 21 equally worthy candidates marked one of the most interesting elections ever held in Faulkner county.
 Besides the big vote, showing a par ticipation by vast majority of the Democrats of the county, the most satisfactory feature of the primary was the rapid and accurate manner in which the returns were received last night. Not single township was held back the vote in every rural township being given out as fast as it was counted, and the judges in Cad ron township issuing partial returns at intervals until the count was com pleted at about o'clock this morning.
 The majorities or pluralities were in most instances decisive, and the re suit in no contest was in doubt at midnight last night. The honor of re- ceiving the largest vote of any candi- date with opposition goes to Ed Con- dray, who was nominated for repre- sentative over George M Cornell by a majority of 1,090. J, A. Lea's major ity of 539 over Prof T. J. Bullion for county clerk was the next largest. j.. w. Holt received a plurality of 230 for county judge and slight majority of the entire vote A. M Ledbetter won over J. s. Johnson for circuit clerk by 409.
 Perhaps the race in which the greatest amount of interest was taken was that for sheriff All three candi- dates received good vote, w. w.. Bishop winning by plurality of PIP over c. O. Payne, who ran 221 ahead

BOB KING WINS AS
 CADRON CONSTABLE E (
J. l.. PHILLIPS GETS FOURTH PLACE AS JUSTICE OF THE

By vote almost as great as that of his hree opponents, Bob King was nominated for constable of Cadron township in the primary election Tuesday. King received 356 votes, a plurality of 206 over Lois A. Mum who ran second
 The names of but three candidates for the four places appeared on the ticket for justice of the peace of Cad ron township, but 209 voters wrote the name of J. L. Phillips of Caney on the ticket, giving him the fourth place as nominee. G. M Easterwood, l.. B. Atkeison and R. M Clibourn were

of R. Haydon.

J. R. Giddens easily won the nomi nation for county treasurer, his plu- rality over John Lindsey being 269. The remainder of the vote was divided rather evenly between the five other candidates.
 For tax assessor Austin Johnson of Mathews township made a runaway race in the rural townships, but w. o. Durham and Roy Rogers received heavy vote in Cadron township, the
 latter carrying his home township. Johnsons plurality over Durham was 137, Rogers was third followed by Herbert Req, who received only four votes less
 For surveyor B. G. Wilson, and for coroner J. A. Pence were renominated without opposition.
 The vote in Cadron township was ITS, record breaking poll for a coun- ty primary election.
 From early in the evening until midnight the Log Cabin Democrat of flee was crowded last night with can didates and their friends who were ianXious to learn the results. The re- turns came in better than in any pre- vious election, every rural township having reported by II o'clock The candidates who failed of nomi- nation all took their defeat good na- turedly, and were quick to congratu- late their successful opponents. While there has been some talk of "boodiing" by various candidates, the Log Cabin Democrat believes that on the whole the election was one of the cleanest ever held in the county. At least, there was no disposition upon

Che part of any township to withhold returns, which in itself is one of the best indications of fairness.
 For the purpose of making the off ciai canvass of the result, the Demo- cratic County Central Committee will meet Tn Conway Friday. While it is not expected that the canvass will show any change in the general re- suits, there is likely to be a few slight changes in the figures, due to difficulty Tn transmitting the returns over some of the rural telephones.

Ask Aid From the Court.

The law requiring candidates for office
to file their petitions in a certain time
says that candidate for Congress must
have his petition in the hands of the
Secretary of State at least thirty days
before the day set for the primary. Sun
day, August %, was the thirtieth day,
and on Monday, August "a, Mr.. Bachar-
ach, candidate for Congress in the second
district, took his petition to the Office of
the Secretary of State. The latter official
received the paper and filed it, taking
the ground that as the Office of the Sec
rotary of State was not accessible on
Sunday, the petitioner was entitled to
bring his application in the next day.
To this, Assemblyman Richards, who
is aspiring to Congressional honors in
the same district and from the same
city as Mr.. Bacharach halls from, took
exceptions. He claims that sat least
thirty days before the primary does not
mean twenty-nine days, and that Mr.
Bacharach had plenty of time to file his
petition before Sunday which marked
the expiration of the limit of thirty days.
When asked what would have been the
case If the thirty days had fallen on Sun
day and the next day was legal holt
day, Mr.. Richards said it was the duty
of the candidate to get his paper in on
the previous Saturday if not before.
When reminded that there is half-holi-
day on Saturdays, Mr.. Richards said
then it was up to the applicant to seek
the proper officer before midnight and
get his petition on file.
Dissatisfied with the action of the
Secretary of State in receiving Mr.. Bach
arach's petition Mr.. Richards applied for
writ of certiorari to discover whether
Mr.. Bacharach's name should be allow
ed to be printed on the primary tickets.
The writ was allowed and will be argued
before Justices Black and Garrison on
Saturday. If the decision is against
placing the name of Mr.. Bacharach on
the primary ticket there will be some
lively hustling done as, under the law,
the primary tickets have been printed
with the gentleman's name on them and
if the opinion goes against him it will re-
quire new tickets to be printed and cir
culated within two days as the primary
occurs next Tuesday. The sample bal
lots which have been sent out according
to law, will have to stand. The official
ballot may have to be changed.
The result will be watched with in
terest but the feeling in this neighbor-
hood is that Mr.. Richards has not
strengthened his position by what APP
pears to be very childish action. He
had much better have let the matter go
before the people for settlement at the
polls, but it will be hard to make many
believe that he was not actuated by fear
that he was not as strong in the race as
he has been protesting he is.

Oysters Fine.

Reports received by the State Bureau
of Shell Fisheries are to the effect that
oysters are in as fine shape as ever were
found in the State and that the yield
for the coming year will be as large if
not larger than before. The great adj
vances of the cost OF living because of
high prices of other food products will
increase the demand for oysters in all
parts of the country but there is no pros
pect whatever of advance in the price of
New jerseys oysters and consumers are
informed officially that this delicious
food of the sea is absolutely healthy
and nutritious.
The State Bureau of Shell Fisheries
still has few remaining copies of the
booklet showing one hundred ways in
which to prepare oysters for the table
which will be sent free to any address
on the dropping of postal card to the
Bureau at Trenton.

A Public Hearing.

A public hearing on the matter of tn
bulkhead built by r, c. Chance & Sons
at their factory on the Rancocas creek
Mount Holly, will be held at the hous
of America Hose Company, on Friday
afternoon, at two O'Clock. All persons
interested in this matter are invited t.
be present. The hearing will be conduct
ed by the New Jersey Harbor Commits
sion and it is requested that all state
ments and arguments in the case be pre-
scented in writing by the respective
parties.
( This hearing is to listen to anything
that may be said for or against the bulk
head This is the term used by the
Harbor Commission, but the affair is
apparently wharf. The Messers
Chance, when it became necessary to re,
pair the wharf, followed what they
thought was the proper line and what
their deed called for, to low water mark
After they had erected the bulkhead
there was some objection to its construc-
ton, the claim being made that it was
too far into the stream, hereby throwing
the force of the water against the opposite
bank 1t is to determine how far out
the bulkhead may extend.
There was no intention of infringing
ON the rights of others and the Chance
firm did not think they were encroach-
ing. The objections having been en-
tered it is the duty of the Harbor Com
mission to look into the matter and it is
for this purpose that the public hearing
will be held.
