While exact information is yet
lacking, County Chairman J. F. Car
ter states that the enrolment for the
Democratic primaries this summer is
about 100 names short of the enroll
ment of two years ago. AS soon as
the information is available, The
Herald will publish the enrolment
at the various clubs of the county
for the information of the public.
The Democratic Executive commit
tee held meeting at the court house
Monday afternoon for the purpose
of arranging for the holding of the
primary on the third Tuesday of this
month. Managers for some of the
precincts were named, but as there
was not full attendance of the
committee, some of the managers
will be named at later date. The
notice Of election will be printed in
the next issue of The Herald.
Mr.. Robert A. Bennett, an Ehr-
hardt boy now doing his bit in
France, writes to Carter & Carter
as follows: write to home boy on
the news. Gosh, this is a great trip
and a wonderful country. We are
well and happy. With best wishes,
Robert A. Bennett, A. E. F." Car
ter & Carter pass along the sugges-
ton, and we trust that Mr.. Bennett
and all the other Bamberg boys will
hereafter receive a good many let
ters from the home folks, and that
this little reminder will be sufficient.
The friends of the boys over there
should make it a habit to write to
them often. You can imagine how
good letters from home will be read
on the other side.
