THE residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.

afternoon Of last week between 2 and

at work in the field SOM, distance

summoned. those at home had to bat
tie with the flames some little time
before outside assistance could reach
them. The house was four-rOom
cottage in good condition. 1t had
been built about eight years. Al
most all the household goods were
! destroyed by the fire. An organ. one
| dresser and some feather beds were

clothing Of the various members OF
| the family. were lost. There was no

We are in receipt OF a letter
from our old friend. ]. y. Ruther-
ford. formerly Of this section. but
now a resident OF Alabama, in which
he enclosed for our inspection copy
OF the Democratic primary election
ticket used in Montgomery county on
the 9th instant. The ticket is quite
a formidable looking affair, being
Just 35 inches in length. On the
ticket there are the names Of sc
| candidates. a popularity ESQ it
would appear to Carolinians) is the
fact that the ticket provides for op-
nnrtunity 10 vote for second
choice.' The voter indicates on the
left margin Of the ticket the candi-
date for whom he casts his vote for
given office. and on the right margin
is left space in which the voter is
directed 20 indicate his second
choice" This, however, occurs
only in instances where there is prob
ability OF q second race. Mr.. Ruth
erford notes that several Of the
county Offices are not to be filed this
year: otherwise the ticket would
have contained the names % ahcut
100 candidates. and would have
been considerably over three feet in
length.
