With the daily announcement

primary interest in local politics
grows apace. There are already no

the fourth district, are said TO be Zig.

The sheriffs office Is proving a big
drawing card, but so far it has not at
tracted as many candidates as the
trustees office. But three are actual
ly announced candidates for sheriff, al
though there are two or three more
who are feeling the waters and il not
found to be too cold they will make
the plunge in a short time. One an

or three others, according to rumors
current in local politics.

with the large number of candidates
out, and the large vote that in conse-
quence is sure to be polled the danger
of Independent candidates will be min

ed that the early date for the prima-
ry was an invitation for such devel-

yet been provided for the primary, but
it is assured that some definite action
will be taken along this line within
reasonable time. The candidates will
also be assessed with the expenses as
this is a character of primary unlike

must be met by the party holding the

Fire Destroys
Handsome Home
Near Columbia

/ Shortly before noon today fire COM
pletely destroyed the beautiful bunga-
low of Nolan Gardner near Columbia
on the Sowell Mill pike. The building
was occupied at the time by Jack
Cranberry /. The blaze originated
from sparks falling on the roof it was
believed. Mr.. -Gardner's furniture was
stored in the building at the time of
the fire, he having been employed at
the Old Hickory Powder plant for the
past several months A part OF the
furniture was saved.
The building possibly could not be
built now for less than $4,000 and
was practically new Mr.. Gardner
had insurance amounting to $4,000 on
the building and $1,000 ON the furni-
ture. Mr. Cranberry also had $4,000
on his furniture in the building.

EUGENE voss SUCCEEDS THE

Eugene Voss, substitute carrier, is
carrying the mail on Glendale route
made vacant by the death of George
Douglas. 1t is expected that the post
office department will order an exam
nation at an early date to fill the va

ready half dozen or more prospective
applicants who have indicated an in
tention to take the examination and
get into the contest. In the meantime
the duties of carrier will be performed
by Mr.. Voss, whose friends are already
at work urging him to get into the
contest. 1t is probable that he will do
so. He is assured of strong backing.

TWO BRIDGES 70 :
Be CONSTRUCTED
IN COUNTY SOON 81 j |!
ANS ARE COMPLETE FOR CON-
CRETE STRUCTURES ORDER
ED BY COUNTY COURT.
MUCH REPAIR WORK BEING DONE
Many Bridges in the County Being
Re.FIoored and Re-Painted-Road
Work to Begin in Earnest Soon AS
Farmers Are over the Rush.

Plans have been completed for two
new concrete bridges ordered erect
ed by the county quarterly court. Su-
perintendent of Roads Burke Wilkes
stated that within few days bids
would be invited on these bridges.
Ons of them is located at the Thomas
place in the sixth district over Little
Bgby creek and the other is on the
Bear Creek pike. The plans and
specifications have been prepared by
an expert engineer under the. direc-
ton and at the expense of Superin-
tendent Wilkes.
Mr.. Wilkes is having good deal OF
bridge repair work done in the coun-
ty and is trying to get that out OF the
way before road working begins in
earnest. The bridge on the Williams
port pike has been re-foored and the
bridge across Duck river on the Santa
Fe pike is being re-lioored This work
is being done with little interference
to traffic A number OF other bridges
in the county are having necessary re-
paids and improvements made ON
them. Several are being painted.
Just as soon as the farmers get
through their rush work road repair
ing will begin in earnest in all parts
of the county. 1t is going to be easier
to get labor this year than during any
year since the war began. Not only
that but most of the communication tax,
in fact practically all OF it will be
worked out on the roads. This tax is
$40 this year under the new law and
practically none of it is being paid in
money. The trustees collections
from this source will probably be the
smallest in years. With labor mere
abundant and cheaper the parties Sub
leCt to road work will find it go)d
deal cheaper to work out their tinte
on the roads than to pay the money
The plan will be more popular too
since the work win be done on the
roads near the homes of those WHO
perform and the benefits will the e.
fore be more direct. ~

NEW YORK, June 23.-Support of
the theory that at least a portion of

agents of the Russian soviet govern

OATS EXPECTED
To- OPEN AROUND
PRE- WAR PRICES
CENTS GENERALLY
FORECAST AS THE PROBABLE
PRICE NEXT WEEK.
POTATO YIELD VERY SMALL
But That in the Country Generally
Good and the Value Has Slumped
to $1.75 Barrel-Farmers Urged to
Plant Second Crop Now.

From present indications the oats
market will open around thirty-tive
cents. Some extra choice samples
may bring as much as forty cents a
bushel but it. is safe to forecast at
least thirty-fve cents. OF course there
may be a slump between now and next
week, but it is not expected.
Practically no oats in the county
have been threshed nor will they be
until next week, and few will come to
the market for a couple of weeks yet.
The wheat crop is nearly always
threshed and gotten out of the way
before the oat crop is threshed.
Park Bros, the big produce dealers,
here, have so far SHIPPED three car
loads OF potatoes and probably will
have another car or two. The price
has slumped recently and the potatoes
are now bringing only $175 barrel,
whereas a few days ago they We're
quoted at 50 barrel. The yield was
greatly reduced in~t4fe county by the
drouth but big crop was made all
over the United States resulting in
low prices.
Cord D. Park this morning advised
the farmers who expect to plant a sec
ond crop Of potatoes to get their cold
storage seed and plant without any
further delay. The earlier the seed
are put in the ground the better the
for a good yield. When
farmers wait too late they take chanc-
es on an early frost.
