SATURDAYS PRIMARY ELECTION
0NESIDED AFFAIR.

The Democrats of Kentucky rolled
I'D a large majority at the polls Sat-
urday for United States Senator Ollie
James and the people of this Con-
gressional district did the same thing
for Congressman ]. Campbell Can
trill. Regardless of the fact that Sen
ator James had only nominal opposi-
ton and spurred on only by desire
to send him message of good cheer
to the sick room at Baltimore, the
Democrats did their duty, but at that
the vote was a comparatively light
one in many localities. 49,.
The returns indicate that William
Preston Kimball, who was on the bal
lot, as an opponent of Senator
James, received only a small scatter
ing vote, and even in Fayette county,
the home Of Mr.. Kimball, Senator
James received an overwhelming ma
jority.
Indications point to DR.. Ben Bru-
ner, of Louisville, as having slight
lead over Judge B. ]. Bethurum, OF
Somerset, for the Republican nomina-
tion for United States Senator. The
counties heard from are scattering
and represent every district in the
State The Republican vote fell faI
short of that cast in the Democratic
race for Senator.
The vote in this county was very
light, a total Of only about $50 votes
being cast. The farmers were busy
with their crops, and nobody seemed
to care very much about it, anyway
In one precinct in the county thers
was not a single vote cast, the elec'
ton officers failing to show UP, ant
the voting booth remained closed al
day

AUGUST COURT DAY.

There was fairly good crowd in
the city yesterday, despite the swell
tering heat and the pressure of nee
essary work on the farms. Most of
the farmers were too busy to leave
their work, and those who did come
in, transacted their business and re-
turned to their homes early in the af-
ternoon. 1t was a very light Court
day"
There was not much stock on the
market, and trading in all lines was
rather dull. Merchants reported a
fair volume of business, and collec-
tions fair in proportion. The war
occupied the center Of the stage. with
the high cost of living playing a
close second.

ELECTRIC LIGHT co. BRINGS M-
JUNCTION SUIT AGAINST CITY !.

An injunction suit was flled In the
office Of Circuit Clerk w. n. Webb.
Friday, by the Paris Gas & Electric
Co., seeking to restrain the Mayor Of
Paris, e. B. January, and the-mem-
bers of the Paris City Council from
interfering with the company in col
lecting gas and electric light bills
according to their scale Of prices.
The public Is pretty well acquainted
by this time with the details Of the
controversy between the City Coun-
Gil and the Paris Gas & Electric Co.
Consulting, Engineer w. 81. Weiss,
who had been employed BY the City
of Paris In that capacity, recently
drew up new scale Of prices, which
was given publicity, together with
notice to the consumers to offer pay
ment according to that scale. 1t fur
ther advised that If the Electric
Light Co. refused to accept 1t they
should bring their bills to the May
or's Office, where they would be tab
ulated. Another notice appeared at q
later date in another Paris paper,
sanctioned by the Paris Gas & Elec-
trio Co., advising the consumers to
ignor the advice Of the city, but to
settle their accounts according to the
old scale which had been In effect for
slime time by the company. Soon at
ter this came the iling of the injunc-
ton suit against the Mayor and the
members of the City Council.

STOLEN CAR RECOVERED.

The vigilance of the Lexington and

stole DR.. Charles G.. Daugherty's au-

ed. The machine, which had been
left standing in front Of DR.. Daugh-
erty's residence on Pleasant street a
few nights ago, disappeared and was
not heard of until Friday night, when
the Lexington police department no
tified the Paris police that it had been
loeated there on side street, aban-
doned by the thief or thieves.
DR.. Daugherty seemed so we'll sat

The following information has come

1t is Of vital Importance. and our peo-
pie are urged that they cannot at this
time be too watchful in their efforts to
detect such practices as are here cred
tied to the Germans Read for YOUR
