All Primaries Show Democratic
Trend

Recent Democratic primaries and
conventions, while they indicated
lively interest in nominations, were
free from the bitter factionalism
that marked Republican contests in
several of the same states. In
sume states Democrats selected
candidates for the United States
Senate with practical unanimity.
The Republican primaries in Mon
tana, California and Wisconsin
were conducted with such ferocity
that there is every likelihood
thousands of the supporters OF de-
feated candidates will revenge
themselves by voting for Democrat
ic nominees or staying at home on
election day
Senator Jones or New Mexico
and Senator Pitman of Nevada
were renominated without opposi-
ton, and are regarded as sure to
beat their Republican opponents In

ial nomination went to William J.

WARNING ON DIXIE HIGHWAY
NEEDED

We were just getting ready to
congratulate ourselves upon the little
part that we have played in helping
to make Berea perfect town when
our attention was called TO a danger.
Gus place on a road in the city limits
where there have been at least three
automobile wrecks during the last
year which cost the car owners APP
proximately 5000 besides personal in
juries from which some have not
wholly recovered.
The danger spot is at the curb in
the bend Of the road on the north
side Of Dixie Highway at the juno
ton Of Estill end Forest streets. BY
all means a railing should be set up
at this place extending 9 or 10 feet
on either side of the curb. This
would not cost more than $500 or
$1,000 and would make future wrecks
easily avoidable at this point

Last Thursday evening. March 9,
the Dramatic Club put on the Ser.
want in the House" in Richmond
Despite the rain there was a very
good crowd and all seemed well
pleased with the performance. Every
player did well We believe playing
above the amateur,
The dramatic part started when
"l3" Of the club sat down - a good
supper at Goosmsn's restaurant.
Thirteen always was an unlucky
number. The development of the
plot IN more rain and water was
clear, and the climax Of the tragedy
was the creek at Kingston. II you
don't believe that bridge ought TO
span that little stream near Kings
ton, just ask Miss Kersey and Miss
Sherwood, or have a private consul
taton with Albert Churchill OF Mark
Wesley, who we're forced by the emer-
gency of the situation to pull Of their
shoes, roll up their trousers and wade
out in search Of mule to draw them
ashore.
This tragic scene was staged at IL
o'clock in the night in the middle OF
stream that is dry nine months in
the year

Cross Ford.
