Clark of the county executive committee said to day that there was some doubt about there being any primary held In this county. There la no money In the treasury and he thinks It Improbable that the candidates will stand for an assessment from every county, or eveir two-thirds of the counties of the state. There are thirteen voting places In this county, and 3,300 white qualified voters. It costs 3300 minimum to hold an election, when the polling places all over the county are opened. The coun ty commissioners of this county have recently refuted to pay a portion of tho expenses of the county primary, which was held two months ago, and It' Is presumed will refuse to bear yie ex penses of the state primary. The registrars of the county will re fuse to make out the voters' lists until some assurance ts forthcoming that they will receive pay. There are tick ets and election blanks to be printed and none of this wilt be undertaken un less some scheme presents • Itself for raising' the money.
