CONGRESSIONAL
PRIMARIES.
WhitthOrne Polls FlattpriMg Vote
in Marry,
But the Figures From the District are
Rather Against Him.

The Democratic primary election
to nominate a candidate for Congress
from this district, passed off quietly
yesterday, so far as we have heard,
and in the home counties of Messrs.
Whitthorne and Cox, large vote
was polled. The figures and esti-
mates we may give, Of course, are
not official. but are as reliable as we
could obtain.
In Maury County, with eight dis
tricts to hear from, the vote stood
l,739 for Whitthorne, 23S for Cox;
majority of 1901 for Whitthorne.
Senator Whitthorne's friends esti-
mate that his majority in this coun-
ty will be between seventeen and
eighteen hundred.
williamson.
In Williamson County between
seventeen and eighteen hundred
votes were polled. We could not
get the exact figures, but by tele-
phone learned directly from Col.
Cox that he estimated his majority
in that county at twelve hundred.
He said that he had heard from
nearly all the county, and was salts
fed that his majority would approx
mate the figures named.
UiIes.
In Pulaski, Col. Cox carried the
box by So votes; at Lynnville Sena-
tor Whitthorne carried the box by
II votes. The Whitthorne men con-
cede the county to Cox by 800 ma
jority; the Cox men claim it by 600.
Dickson.
In the Dickson box and one
other, Cox's majority was rs, and
the indications are that Cox will
carry the county by a small ma
jority.
Lawrence.
The combined votes at Iron City.
Wayland Springs, West Point, Law
renceburg and Summertown, give
Cox majority of 1874, and his friends
claim the county; but the Whit
thorne men say their districts in
that county are yet TO be heard from
and they are still hopeful of CARY
ing the county.
From the returns at large Col. Cox
and his friends are sanguine of sue
cess. But Senator Whitthorne and
his friends, while not over-conf1dent,
still think the vote will be very
close, and that it may take the
official returns to decide.
This is the situation at 8 o'clock
last night. Whoever he may be, the
HERALD is for the nominee, and
will urge all Democrats to stand
loyalty by their colors.

A Criticlsu.

A story used to be told by Robert Louis
Stevenson to some Of his musical friends
of an eccentric acquaintance Of his whom
he once took to hear Sir Charles Halle
play the piano ut st. James hall, London.
Sir Charles was musician OF the most
correct and severe British type, though a
German by birth. After the concert was
over they walked as far as the marble arch
neither having spoken. Arrived there,
the friend stopped and delivered himself
thus, 1.-The manner Of the elderly states
man at the piano was somewhat austere
and chilling" And then they walked on.

HOW A MAINE MAN CATCHES FOXES
He Plays a Sort of Confidence Game Upol
Them Quite SUCCESSFULLY.

He Plays Sort of Confidence Game Upon
Them Quite Successfully.
II can catch fox easy as q rabbit"
said Elverdo Norton, Milbridge's famous
trapper 1.-THE way do it is this: In the
fall before snow flies l find spot in the
vicinity of fox signs, take some chaff,
build nice bed about feet wide, and
every few days go and throw meat upon
It. Seal meat is the best for catching
foxes never step into the bed myself,
but always throw the meat into it from a
distance. Soon the foxes begin to come
here regularly for their meat. They find
1t, and so they keep on coming. Well, as
soon as snow flies, or before, set trap
In that bed and get my fox every time
not one, but dozen perhaps if they are
there. never fasten down my trap, but
leave 1t loose in the bed The fox jumps
with 1t as soon as 1t springs on him and
he walks off with it, without making any
fuss at all. Should the trap be fastened
and the fox founder about in the bed, no
more foxes would come near the bed.
After the fox goes away in the trap fol-
low him up and find him.
~ have known fox to take the scent
of pork scrap with strychnine pill in
it) not larger than the end of your thumb
at the distance of mile or more. One
day put out the bait at the end Of an old
pine stump. The next morning found
the bait gone and about 80 yards to the
left found the fox, dead. The night be-
fore the wind blew northwest thought
would ascertain the point where the fox
first took the scent of the pork scrap.
There was snow on the ground, and had
no difficulty in tracing the course Of the
fox previous to his taking the fatal pill
soon found his track and learned that the
fox was travelling a southeasterly course
and that when he reached that point
where the wind was throwing the scent
across his path he had wheeled in an in
slant and made straight for the pork scrap.
He ran off to the left short distance and
dropped dead He had taken the scent of
that tiny scrap at distance of a mile. -

who understand the harmful effect of

know why the people continue TO buy
