A Mrs. Benedict, who hves in McDonald county, near Eric, about 15 miles from Neosho, was accident ally shot by her brother last Satur- day. He was cleaning a gun, which he supposed to be unloaded and put acap on to see if it would go off. He found that it would and that a nandful of shot went with it, passing through a partition into an adjoining room where his sister was, wounded her in such a manner that at last ac- connts her life was despaired Thus does the unloaded gun still find its victims, when in the hands ot a damphvol who don't know taaded.—Neosha Times. ot. it was As to primaries or convention, which the Democrat and Times are discussing, it is not too early to bring this matter up for consideration, though it is not necessary to decide the question until the proper time. Four years ago we were first to urge the primary system, and labored un der great opposition. It was then absolutely necessary, to secure the mghts jot the democrats of Osage township. Now the necessity to se- cure representation according to our democratic strength does not exist. We have a proper yoice in a con- vention. Four years ago, however, we were terribly disappointed in the manner the primary system was con- ducted, the vote ot the democratic primary resulted in as many votes being polled as were cast by demo- crats, republicans and greenbacker, at the general election following. This was not the fault of the pri- atary system, but under the circum- stances we felt it our duty, two years iater, to contend ior the convention system, and a convention settled the neminees. We were satisfied with! the -resnit, as we had been two years } betore under the primary system, but as a successful disposition of the business in hand there was very little honesty in either. The primary sys- tem properly regulated is certainly the most likely to give general sat- istaction’ If it were lett to the Re- wew we should Say primary, and then surround tne machinery so there would be very little traud. But we are not going to push our cpinion; we don’t have to; Osage township | and southern Bates can hold its owa & on either plattorm—yet we would hke | the views ot our democratic readers, | Ne —Rich Hill Review. i tor of the Totes, Mr R.
