One of the most hotly contested primary elections ever held in Pulaski County in the last decade passed into history last Saturday. No trouble of (word missing) has been reported and it is miraculous that the day passed quietly as the contests were very hot. The result in this county is not a surprise to a majority of the people. The winners have been touted by wise ones to win from the beginning. Probably the bitterest campaign was against Judge R.C. Tartar who was victorious by 385. The opposition made a determined fight at him. N.L. Barnett polled the largest and won by the largest majority. He defeated his opponent by (word missing). Most of the other races were close. Friends of Stella May are very disappointed that she did not win, but proud of the fight she made at such odds. It is said that Miss May is now telling that she will be a candidate again four years from now. Kennedy Wins Republican Nomination For Circuit Judge Over Judge B.J. Bethurum. One of the surprises of the election was the big majority by which Judge H.C. Kennedy defeated Judge B.J. Bethurum for the Republican nomination for Circuit Judge in the 28th Judicial District. This fight was probably the bitterest in the whole State and was watched with interest by politicians in all sections of the Commonwealth. Judge Bethurum and Judge Kennedy opposed each other fives years ago and Judge Bethurum won by a small vote. When Judge Bethurum fell down was in his home county of Rockcastle where he became involved in the county races. He had expected to carry that county by 1,000 votes which would have put him over, but the returns show that he only carried it 142. Judge Kennedy made a wonderful showing in Wayne County and it was this voted that brought him victory. His majority was around 1,500. Clinton went for Kennedy by 252, which was a reduced majority from five years ago. Bethurum carried Pulaski by over 700. Kennedy's majority in the district is around 900 it is said. The Democrats have nominated Hon. Eli Bell of Wayne County as their candidate for Circuit Judge. He will make an active campaign. W.A. Kinne was nominated for State Senator by a plurality of 1,200. He carried Pulaski, McCreary, and Whitley over his nearest opponent S.C. Hail. Mr. Kinne received a total of 4933; Mr. Hail, 3721; Mr. Hogue, 3039. Reward Offered. Governor Morrow has offered a reward of $200.00 for the arrest of the person who assassinated Richard King on August 4th. Officers have been unable to find any trace of the guilty party, it is said. Walster Killed. Mr. Clay Hughes was in the city Wednesday and brought the news that his brother-in-law, J.F Walster, Jr., was killed in an automobile wreck at Ranger, Texas. He said the news was received in Lexington just before he left and he did not know the particulars. Mr. Walster was in the oil business. Mr. and Mrs. Walster are both well known in Somerset. Mrs. Walster before her marriage was Miss Nell Finch. Nell - Murrey. The following item will be of interest to Somerset people: Miss Katherine Nell, one of Columbia's pretty young ladies, was married to Mr. L.W. Murrey, traveling salesman with the Deavers Dry Goods Company, Knoxville, Tenn., at the resident of Eld. J.Q. Montgomery, in this city, last Wednesday evening. The courtship dates back several years. She was visiting relatives and friends in Lincoln County and Mr. Murrey came through and brought her to this city and many of her close friends did not know of the marriage until afterwards. We wish to extend them our heartiest wishes for a long and prosperous voyage on the matrimonial sea. Casey County News.

Street Cars Will Start Again Within A Week. Seven Cent Fare To Be Collected. The street railway will begin operation again next week with new cars and a much improved service. MR. L.B. Herrington, vice president of the Kentucky Utilities Company, who as in the city Monday, said that he hoped to have the cars here and in operation next week some time. An agreement was reached between the City Council and the Utilities Company Monday, and Monday night at the regular meeting an ordinance was passed, by a unanimous vote, granting the company a 7 cents fare. They agreed to operate the cars on this basis. Where books of thirty tickets are purchased the rate will be 6 ½ cents, and school children going to and from school can ride for 3 1/3 cents, provided a book of thirty tickets are bought. The Kentucky Utilities Company will pay for all the street improvement assessed against the company and will maintain the streets between the tracks and 18 inches on each side, from the Kenwick Hotel to Griffin Ave. The City will maintain the street from the Kenwick to the end of the line on College St. The people of Somerset are very much pleased over the agreement reached. About fifty business men were present Monday night at the Council meeting to urge the Council to accept terms offered by the Utilities Company, but it was announced before the meeting that an agreement had been reached and there would be no fight. The new street cars are of the latest type and will be quite an improvement over the old rattle trains that have been in operation. The Council also took another forward step when they purchased from the American LaFrance Co., one of the latest type fire trucks. The new apparatus is the same used in the larger cities. It cost $9,400.00 and the company took the old truck in for $1,775.00. The new truck is a six cylinder and develops one hundred and ten horse power. Sandusky Wins in Wayne. Former Judge J.S.

Here is my heart and my hand to those who did and to those who did not support me Let us be friends. Let us forget the past and set our faces earnestly toward the future.
