The Will of the People,

Primary elections are thought to
be a fair and legitimate way of find
ing out the will of the people in CUB
ernatorial, congressional, legisla =
tive and county elections and the
custom is practiced in this county
and all over the state. Then why
Is it not equally proper and fair to
hold primary elections to instruct
orr representatives as to who is the
choice Of the people of Giles county
for United States senator2 "Oh,''
said one man to US the other day,
"our candidates for representative
have already made up their minds
on this subject" We don't care a
farthing for their individual minds
on the subject. We don't know
who they are for and we don't care.
1t is the mind Of the people we
want to get at. No matter what
the individual preferences of the
representatives may be the people
who elected them and whose will
hey 60 to carry out, have a right
TO say to them: $50 there and car
~ out our will as we instruct YOU
No matter who legislator is for if
ne doesn't carry out the will of the
people he is not true representa-
i've of the people.

Yellow Fever.

The latest reports from the yell
iow fever section are a little more
hopeful. There have been only
four new cases at Decatur recently
with two deaths. There was one
case at Cullman, Ala, and one at
Flint. At Jacksonville Tuesday,
there were 143 new cases and four
deaths. The cases are of mild
form now and the death rate is very
small. The citizens are becoming
more cheerful. There have been
several cases at Jackson, Miss,
but none reported since Sunday.
There was one suspicious case at
Memphis Tuesday, but it hadn't
developed into yellow fever at last
accounts. The outlook generally
