Train No. 204, which should have left here last night at 10:2O o'clock was an- nulled as the road is impossible between Tupelo and New Albany. The water is reported to be receding and the tracks will probably be in condition today.
 The Alabama Great Southern is clear through to Chattanooga on the north di- vision but the water on the track be- tween York and Livingston on the south ern division will prevent trains passing until this morning at 10 o'clock. No. 5 from Chattanooga to Meridian, which leaves Birmingham at 4:3O o'clock to- morrow afternoon will be the first through train.
 Local trains are being run as far as Livingston. Superintendent Frazier is personally conducting the repair work on the tracks between York and Livingston, and reports that trains will be able to pass this morning by 10 o'clock No. 1 from New Orleans, arriving here at 10:10 o'clock was annualled last night, as was No. to New Orleans at 6:45 clock

state Democratic committee has full power to call primary election, as much the election should be before August, for the registration will not De complete be- fore then. A primary will demonstrate the working of the constitution and will be direct expression of the will of the people instead of an indirect expression as is often the case with conventions. The tendency of the times is towards fair elections. Our people are tired of unfair methods, and with the Democratic party in control of the election machinery, the responsibility will be upon them to show that elections can be fairly managed"

NEW THEORY OF SLEEP.
Thrown Into the Circulation
Causes the Phenomenon.

What causes sleep?
Very likely there is not scientist
of your acquaintance who will be able
to tell you. AS for the poets they
have been offering explanations ever
since time began, but, unfortunately,
none Of them is reasonable, says q
scientific exchange.
A rather startling theory lately
put forward by young psychologist
is attracting considerable attention.
This student believes that gland or
certain glands In the system secrete
narcotic substance; that this SUBJ
stance is stored in the gland or
glands until at definite times main
ly influenced by habit and "tiredness"
Of the individual-it is thrown into
the circulation, and thereby causea
the phenomenon of sleep.
There is no direct evidence of the
correctness of this theory, but he res
fers to lately discovered fact that
the urine of health secreted in walk
ing hours always contains a narcotic
substance, and he urges this point in
support of his theory. The existence
OF such glands is difficult to deny.
Sir 7. Lauder Brunton has pointed
out that opium will keep person
awake If he wishes to be wakeful,
and, conversely, will make him sleep
If he wishes sleep-which would seem
to show that sleep is in some meas
