In Kinds county the United States
SenatorShip was left to a vote in pri-
mary" election as in Holmes. Mr..
Harper one Of the leading candidates.
was taking no sides with either party
to the Senatorial contest. Col. J. S.
Hamilton, an intelligent. shrewd
politician, and Gov McLaurin's
campaign manager in Kinds, tried in
vain several times to obtain Mr..
Harper's support to help carry Kinds
'or Coy. Mcl4aurin, assuring him If he
would do so, he would get the McLau-
rim vote in return, as Mr.. Harper pub
llShed in Il card in his paper, the Ray
mond Gazette. Failing to secure Har-
per to McLaurin another candidate
was agreed on, which the McLaurin
leaders are endeavoring to take all the
McLaurin vote, and secretly fight all
the other legislative candidates. Mr.
Harper exposed the scheme. The last
issue of the Raymond Gazette says:
1--WE have often heard of the packing

Can You Endorse His Record ?

| Greenwood Commonwealth
A vote for MCLaurin endorses the
| following official acts;
| Drunkenness in high officials: proof
the Jackson bridge fight with MAYOR
Broken pledges: proof, the dis.
charging of two Dinkin's slayers.
Bossism and Clanism: proof the
appointment of his political support
crs to Office.
Cowardice; proof, leaving his post
when duty said stay.
Revengeful: proof, the incident at
Jackson with Nardaman.
The waste Of the peoples money
proof, the calling of the Legislature to
build new capital and then vetoing
the bill.
Disgrace; proof: the George funeral
expense and the lvo Miller case.
Disregard of Constitution: proof the
appointment of Bird and |. |. & G.
matter.
The above is his platform-on it lie
stands and your vote for him means
his vindication. Can you do it? Can
you in placing the sacred ballot in
the box, knowing the above to be true
say to your God and man that in voting
for him you do it, in the interest Of
State, church and society? We do not
think you can, and believe you will not
when the test comes. Give us a man
OF honor with fair intelligence in
preference to one without honor.

ture of the earth was never much above
that of melted lava, and this at very
early stage in earth history, far ante
dating the eras which are now grouped
as the Azoic age in geology; or it was
when the earth was between the last
stages of nebula and the first of a
liquid or solid body. The bearing of the
new law on geological inquiries is OBJ
vious and of supreme Importance.
The study of the multiple stars led to
other results, rather unexpected and
not so directly connected with the mat
ter Of temperature. These concern the
matter of division Of the nebula, now
detected in process in a comparison Of
certain nebulae, and the consequences
of which are assumed to lead to the
beautiful binary and multiple systems
that challenge the admiration and puz-
zle the acumen of astronomers. The
process of division, or the separation of
a minor from q larger body, has al
ways been assumed to have been in the
form of an equatorial ring, which part
ed from the main body when the centri-
fugal forces at the equator overcame
the force of gravity
lIllS, IOIGo0OI PCC ou5SSSlS Is IlOL
only not the rule, but is relatively I'M
common. The nebulae in Andromeda
and some others appear to be acting on
such law, but the disturbances OBJ
served in the appearance of mist ne
bulae, and above all the derived data
from the orbits of binary stars, partic-
ularly of Sirius, make a process akin
to cell-division, a necessary factor in
the history of the stars; that is, that
the original division was a construction
in an elongated body which proceeded
until complete separation into bodies
was affected.
Where, as in the case of Sirius and
his companion, the companion was con-
siderably the smaller body, the rate Of
heating promised by Professor Sees
law, followed by the defeating, went
at faster rate in the smaller body,
and the result was, as Is found now in
the case of Sirius, a comparatively
small dark companion approaching the
end of its cosmical career, associated
with a still bright, intensely and in
creasingly heated principal star.
An interesting corollary to the above
is that the heavens are probably peo-
pied not only with dark bodies that
have out-lived their luminous stages,
but with nebulae, vaster and grander
than any yet seen, in the first stages
of nebuar history; in the stage when
the aggregation OF matter still at or
near the temperature of space, but still
so attenuated in structure that the
molecular collision required to gener-
ate the heat necessary for even the
feeblest illumination had not been nu-
merous or constant enough.
This suspicion was warranted by
brown appearance of the sky, often
noted by acute observers, and above all
by some photographs, the plates of
which, more sensible to faint actinic in
f1uences than the eye, revealed pictures
of nebulae as yet invisible.-From The
Boston Herald.

The stOclx Market.

New York. Jan. 16.--The week opened
with transactions reaching the million
share mark again, and resulting In ir-
regular net changes, losses prevailing.
London. it was estimated, sold alto
gether $4,000 shares here, nearly half of
that amount in the first quarter OF an
hour. There was no news marketwlse
Of any Importance. Standard stocks
were in heavy demand in the forenoon,
all the grangers making new records
for high prices The evidence of sup
port to leading stocks was followed by
bursts of strength elsewhere after a
period of hesitancy in the early deal
ings. There was a rise in Federal steel
on the continued good demand for iron
products, but the advantage gained was
not fully retained. Among other spe-
cialties where renewed interest was dis
played were Metropolitan, Consolidated
Gas, Leather preferred and American
Steel and Air Brake made an advance
of IL points. The Pacific stocks were
weak all day. The heavy London sell
ing was of assistance to many board
room traders in bringing about a reac-
ton in the final dealings, although ear
lier in the day when prices were Of
fered down there was an increase of
buying instead of selling ordars brought
into the market 1t was in the last half
hour that practically all of the earlier
gains in the market were lost and in a
number of shares the prices were car
red sharply below Saturdays close, es-
pecialy Union Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Louisville, Manhattan, Southern Pacific
and Kansas and Texas preferred. Pre-
viously the market has been rather
quiet on declines, but the greatest ac
tivity to-day was toward the cl Sc when
prices ran off. Among the coale s,
Reading first and second preferred suf-
fered about point. Heavy liqu dation
in Lake Erie and Western preferred
dropped the price Of that stock points.
The bond market maintained a very
good tone during the greater part of the
day, but suffered somewhat in common
with the stock speculation in the late
selling. Total sales, $4,S75, 900.
