The only people who showed the least uneasiness over the primary yes? terday were the extreme anti sewerage folks. They seemed to lose sight of the fact that the council can do noth? ing in the direction of establishing a sewerage system without submitting the question to a vote of the people: an election for which cannot be order? ed unless a majority of the freeholders sign a petition to council asking for such an election. Judy Sanders was on trial before the Mayor yesterday. The demand was made for a jury and the trial promised to be a long and tedious affair.

OPENING. fa " \ ' ' , The House Warming of the New Home of the Overall Kids. .The formal opening of Jenkins Bros.'_ new bicycle store under the Masonic Temple on yesterday was the event of the day, even the municipal primary" itself taking a second place in the public interest. The store was visited by hundreds during the morning and at no time was it not crowded. There were almost as many ladies among the visitors as men, and they, especially, were enthusiastic in their praise of the handsome and artistic manner in which the new store is fitted up. The walls are papered in panels, the paper being a particularly rich pattern, the ground being a dull red with figures and borders of green and gold. The walls are farther adorned with a num? ber of attractive pictures and framed posters of the popular wheels that this firm sells. The 190*2 line of Cleveland, Colum? bia and other wheels was displayed in racks arranged along the ^z\ls, and at? tracted the attention of .7 visitor. This line is not only ful1 and complete but the wheels are of tne best grade and the most handsomely finished of any heretofore placed on the market. Another ' feature of the wheel display that excited admiration was the wheel made by Jenkins Bros., who not only know how to sell and repair wheels but how to make a high grade wheel from the rough material. A large concert Graphbphone dis? pensed popular music throughout the day and visitors were entertained as well as made welcome. The "Overall Kids" themselves did the honors of the occasion, attired in spick-and-span new overall suits and received the many well merited compliments on the appearance of their new establishment with becoming modesty. Columbia desk calendars and thou? sand mile cyclometers were distributed to the visitors and everybody was made to feel welcome. . The opening was continue until 8 p. m. ? r *-? . - tm THE FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT. What Was Done at the Mass Meeting Thursday Night.

Goodwill, March 20.- Th? hand? some ten room residence on Mrs. Rosa I. Cooper's plantation was burned today about 10 o-clock a. m.. It caught from a spark on the roof, and when found nothing could be done to save the house or a lot of valuable old furniture that was stored on the second floor. Mrs. Cooper's parlor furniture and the furniture of Mr. S. N. "Welsh, the occupant, was- saved, and by hard work on the part of Messrs Welsh and Jones and the negroes on the place, the outbuildings were saved. So far as could be learned there was no insurance. This old ante-bellum mansion, with its white pillars, set back in the pine forest, with a beautiful flower yard of about two acres filled with rare flow? ers, plants, trees and shrubbery neatly kept, where for many years a bounti? ful southern hospitality was dispensed, was Ohe of the "show" places of Salem.

The April Ladies' Home Journal. Chief among the attractive features of the Easter Ladies' Home Journal is the opening installment of Helen Kel? ler's own story of her life. The fact that this, and all the autobiography which is to follow, were actually writ? ten by the wonderful girl herself is only equaled by the remarkable liter? ary merit of her production. There is a delightfully personal article about "The President's Daughter," accom? panied by a hithero unpublished pic? ture of Miss Roosevelt, and a pretty story of the singing of Easter carols in a New York belfry on Easter morn? ing. Neltje Blanchan ells "Why the Birds Come and Go," and The Jour? nal's two splendid serials, "Those Days in Old Viginia" and "The Rus? sels in Chicago," are given space. The new Children's department, called "The Good-Time Garden," begins in this number. Mr. Bok discusses sev? eral timely subjects on the editorial page, chief among them the growing tendency of the American father to neglect the companionship of bis children. The illustrations, which are beautiful and numerous, include one of Mr. Taylor' exquisite pictures of southern life, and a double page of col? lege girls at their studies. The de? partments are more interesting and helpful than ever. The beautiful Eas? ter co\er is the work of A. E. Forin ger. By Thc Curtis Publishing Com? pany. Philadelphia. Ten cents a copy: onedollar a year. Sheriff Scarborough did not get Archibald Brearley Thursday.
