THE CARROLL FREE PRE9«, CARROLLTON, GA. Hall Explains Rules Of Primary Voting Chairman Hewlett A. Hall was in Atlanta Monday tor the pur pose o< conferring with Judge John C. Hart, whom he is to succeed as attornoy general, and while here place construction up- oq several ot the rules ter hold ing the state primary which have been puzzling the people lor some time. There can be no ‘’single-shot- ing’’ in this primary according to Mr. Hall. Where two can didates are to be voted tor you must not strike either one, provid ed there are but two candidates lor the two positions. If one name is marked oft, the ballot for those particular ofticers is not counted. For instance for railroad commissioners there are at pres ent three candidates tor two positions. The voter must strike only one It he strikes two :t is at had marked them all from the ballot. THE COUNTY VOTE RULE Considerably misunderstand- ing has been rife over the new rule adopted by the state com mittee relative to prorating the vote ot a county where one can- Blow at the South As was to be expected the Federal grand jury in New York has returned indict ments against James A Patter son, Frank 13 Haynes, W P Brown, E G Scales and M H Rothschilds for endeavoring to corner the cotton and force prices up. It is remarkable that the short interest of New England, Europe and New York City have systematically pooled their issues to torce the cot ton market down, and have been successful in their ellorts lor years, but our patriotic and zeal ous Federal authorities have never discovered any restraint of trade in this transaction. When the New York and New England “bears” sold themselves up to their neck in May cotton in New York in January, and found they could not check the upward tendancy ot the market, they became des- name. p^ ra j e anc i laid plans to have t i, e j aw intervene to save thems selves, at the cost of the cotton planter. We have the name ot at least one New York “bear” who promulgated a circular let ter invoking the sentiment of the country against the unjust treatment of the poor spinner, and those dependent on him, didate does not receive a major-1 suggesting ths anti-trust law as ity over two or more opponents, the final and last remedy Where a county has only one legislator it is entitled to two votes in the convention. Or it is entitled to two votes to every ligislator, to put it in terms easii ly understood. Then where a candidate receives one-eighth ot the vote in a county he is entitled to one-fourth of a vote in the convention. Not less than one- lour^h fit a vote will be counted. This rule applies only when a Candidate fails to recieve a majority of all the votes cast in a county. Only a perfect ticket shall be voted. That is to say, candi dates must not prepare ballots with the name of their opponents left off. To be counted, the names ot every candidate must appear on the ballot. Counties can not levy assess ments upon candidates for state house offices. These assess- ments are levied by the state committee and are to be used for publishing a hand book which virtually w.ll be a Dem ocratic directory ot the United States, setting forth at the outset theDemocratic national platform and the state Democratic plat form. Then is to follow statis tics of theDemocratic party in its every branch ail over the Union.

What about the poor man with the hoe? The men above indicted im. mediately gave bond, and pro ceeded to buy. the market U P‘ ... For the first time in the history of cotton a successful ‘bull’ cam. paign has been waged on the tailend of a short crop. For the first time in the history of cotton the planter has been able to get something near its value every week since the market opened lsst September, and the men who have been indicted for buying up the market are solely responsible lor such conditions ; yet we undertake to say that the consuming world—the spin-* ners—have tory friends enough in the South, misled by laaatic.il demagogues, to condemn these men for supporting the market, in what they would ignorantly term gambling. The “bears” have shot their last wad, and it is up to the people of the -South to retaliate in no uncertain terms for the attempted outrage. To that end Cotton and Cot ton Oil News will publish lull details and names of all parties to the conspiracy as soon as they can be obtained. It matters not to us whom it may help or whom it may hurt. This paper has a mission and a service to perform to the cotton planters and the people ot the South generally, and will not shirk its duty, no matter how much the cost, pecuniarily or otherwise.

Too Inquisitive. Mr Editor. When a fellow has a fine rising or carbuncle on his tace or neck, or when he is suffering from some bruise or sore on the limbs or body and when he is in deep study as to the distance between Kamscat- ska and Heflin or trying to fig ure out the age ot Penobscots great uncle, trying his best to forget his pain and suffering, then tor a rank stranger, one whom he has never seen before and hopes to never see ag-.in, asks the question “Mr whats the matter with your face or neck or arm?” well that brings back unfond recollections and you borrow a little patience J from Job and answet “it is a j sore or wound ot some kind” | yes I knew a man who had one jnsl like that one, only not halt so bad and it killed him, then 1 our friends go on to tell a I remedy or tells a man or woman who nevers tails to cure up things like that. It is considered ill manners for a body to interrogate one on Ids mistoitunes, and especially i-- it so tor any but ones intimate friends. Of course there are some who take their liberty for the good of humanity and with a thought ot beneficial to the afflicted one, but 90 per cent is moved by curiosity. A person gets awlully tired and vexed at being asked about h s afflictions time and again every day. Old father Job never had but three to wo ry him and i e called ( them “miserable comforts” what would he have done it he had been askee and questioned by three hundred. I don’t know but what would have took his wife’s advice, only he should cussed them outjand died. ff “Is Life Worth Saving” Miss Mollie McRaney, Prentiss Miss, writes that she had a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble and that four bottles of Foley’s Kidney remedy cured her sound and well. She closes her letter saying ‘ j 1 heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Remedy to any snfferer of kidney diease.' It saved my life.” Sold by Johnson Drug Co.
