A condition never seen here before is
now at hand when but a few days yet
before the time for candidates for the
Democratic nomination to represent
Fayette county in the next legislature
closes and no candidate talked of for
the place. Diligent enquiry by The
Falcon fails TO find even a prospective
candidate. The Democratic nomina-
ton means election without opposition
and yet, so far no one is in the field for
the office. Under the primary law
candidates must file their intention to
run with the County Primary Board by
July l, and that is now but few days

turers every advantage for economic
production, such as would be afforded
