THAT MILLION DOLLAR RAIN

"1swas worth million dollars to this section That's the way local fruit growers and farmers are talk ing with reference to the heavy down pour of rain which visited Springdale Saturday night It was the badly needed moisture te help cut the straw berry crop, which was being cut down considerably by the dry weather, but indicate ons now are that the newer beds will come out much stronger than first expected. Garden truck which was suffering has been great ly revived, and the farmers fortunate enough to have their corn planted are jubilant While the rain was accom- panied by some wind, and tightening, no damage has been reported for this section It was the biggest rain fall for this section in some time, and seems to have been of general na- ture. Sunday and Monday were cool days. but fortunately cloudy weather prevented frost.

The action of the County Cen tral Committee wil doubtless meet with the approval Of the people and the Democrats Of Washington County. From the roll call of the members t was evident that the session would b. rather stormy, and the resolution introduced by Mr. Hurst. with his remarks, and the opposition leI by Mr. CardweI, only served to show that the Committee was hopelessly divided. and had ne resolution prevailed or lost, ' would have percipitaeed a brea.s in the ranks Of the Democrats ae Washington county.
 There were members 9f tae Committee present wa9 would have withdrawn from the meet ing had the resolut on carrje3, and there were probably members who would have withi-a8n had the primary motion carried.
 That there were some features in connection with the meeting of the Committee not entirely in accord with the principles of Democracy was easily apparent, and had these predominated the party might have suffered. The final result will serve to the best interests of all the people. fea- ture greatly desired
 The bars are now down, candi- dates regardless of party or creed may enter the lists Democrats, Republicans and Social. sts Nil appear on the ballot at the gem eral election, doubtlessly, and three men must be chosen to re- present Washington county and Democrats will not be confined to the primary ruie May the best qualified men within the borders of the county receive the position is the desire of The News.
