JACKSON, MISS. July 6.-Several coun-
ties had primary elections or mass-meet-
ings to-day to select delegates to the
Democratic State Convention. which meets
In this city August list. and so far as
heard from Senator A. J. McLaurin mas
been declared the choice for Governor
none of the counties voting to-day having
previously voted
In some of the counties vote was also
taken TO decide the choice for United
States Senator to succeed Senator George,
but on this the people are badly mixed.
Two or three counties have endorsed
Congressman Money for the place; ex-
Governor Lowry's friends claim one or
two. and Congressman Hooker's friends
are claiming Copiah. where primary
was held to-day to decide the matter.
A special from Crystal Springs says
Lowry is in the lead.
Copiah is Colonel Hooker's old home,
and has always stood by him. so that
the other candidates rather conceded II
TO him.
The unanimity with which the counties
have endorsed Senator McLaurin for Gov
ernor shows that the people are suffer
ing from the silver craze.
all county and State officials. but the tick
ct is such a large one that the result
will not be heard tonight.
The candidates do not hope TO settle
anything in this primary except as to who
will secure the highest vote and secure
a place on the ticket for a second pri-
mary to be held July 10Th, when Kinds
county will also vote for United States
Senator. AS every candidate for the
Legislature and Senate is an avowed free
silver man, there Is no contest for the
place on account OF the senatorial race.
State questions and home affairs have
not been thought of or discussed during
the canvass. but every candidate, from
constables up. have been forced to de-
clare their opinions on the great question
OF finance. Some of them know no more
about it than a pig does about Sunday
school.

Worth thinking About.

In many Of the large apartment-houses
of New York the clothes are hung on the
roof to dry, and as the roof in the major
ity of cases is not large enough to accom-
modate the combined washing of all the
apartments, each family has different
washday assigned to it. On Wednesday,
for instance, the entire washing belong
ing to four families may be hung on the
roof, on Thursday giving place to the
wash Of four families. and SO on. This
often leads 10 mistakes, and complaints
of losses are not inirequently heard. Re-
