The primary lias been -held and in almost every instance the result is conclusive. There is no room for doubts or quibbling. The re sults are surely not pleasing to ail, but a majority have spoken and we are a democratic people. Wc are founded on the principle of majority rule. If the results in the recent election have gone to please us let us conduct ourselves with moderation and a spirit of full con sideration for the feelings of others. If wc have been disappointed we should yield gracefully,to the will, of the majority and let no spirit of bitterness find place in our hearts. After all this m ittur of elections does note deserve all t he seriousness with which we usually dignify it. Friends and neighbors have many tilings that are of so much more importance to themselves and to the community interest, that these matters that loom so large seme- time during a campaign should im mediately be laid aside when the result is known, and all fall in line for striving to advance the common good. Wc trust that in Grady county in particular that the inn Rot's of the campaign will he allowed to sink into a forgotten past without any effort on the part of any one to embalm them. Grady comity stands at the threshnolil of great things if we ns citizens will all work together. And why should we not. Is it any crime that should keep us apart that wc have not all had the same opinions as concerning some man who is run ning for office? We call upon Gra dy county to let the dead past bury its dciul. There is much ahead of us for live men to do. We must not be dragging dead carcasses around with us if we are .to do the work of men. No doulT mistake^ have been \ | \Yh. Searcy; Chairman; W. T.
