WILL ENTER
The Race -Four Years Hence For
County Treasurer.

Fellow-citMens of Holmes county:
/ take this means Of saying that |
am profoundly grateful to my friends
throughout the county for their gen.
erous support of my candidacy for
the State Senate. | received a very
creditable vote, but | shall not make
the second race as | cannot afford to
incur the expense which would be
necessary to vigorous contest and
cannot neglect my business any
further to enter doubtful race. |
thank my friends for their many as
sdrances of support in the second
primary. | have made up my mind
not to enter that primary, but | will
act on the suggestion made to me
quite generally to enter the race for
county treasurer four years from
now and | have determined to do SO.
Respectfully,
Tom JORDAN.

A CARD OF THANKS.

My physical condition requires
rest and trip to the Stafford Wells,
for which point am now on the
eve of departing; and from which I
came just little while before the
primary. From birth till now, I
have been q citizen of Holmes.
Since youth, to best Of my ability I
have contributed to the upbuiiding
of our county and state. Circum-
stances, which were in measure be-
yond my control, prevented my
making a canvass. Really, felt
more concern in the success OF my
schoolmate and friend, E. F. Noel,
than in my own election, and put in
more work towards that end than
for myself. This however does not
in the least diminish my gratitude for
friends throughout Holmes County,
who gave their cordial support, and
assured me that the people in their
sections would be for me, whether,
or not, / was able to make them
visit. To have made these visits
and to have seen my old friends
again, and to have made new ones,
would have been pleasure, pleasure
from which was denied.
. As one OF your representatives,
sha | be vigilant and zealons in the
Advancement Of every measure con-
tributing to your welfare; and shall
be glad to learn by letter, or per-
sonally, any Of your views which
you may wish presented in the com.
ing Legislature, and OF Which you
may think ! am not fully advised.
My appreciation Of your kindness
and confidence will be manifested, I
hope, by my official career.

of a fight, which the Vardaman
people had inaugurated, for their
joint benefit. The same position was
used, on both sides, on election day
the Critz people sending some tele-
grams on that line. All of this
work on election day would have
amounted to little but for the work
done before, along the same lines.
1t was the aid given by the Varda-
man workers to Judge Critz which
contributed most largely towards
turning to Judge .Crih that part Of
the conservative vote which was cast
Judge Critz, on the idea that Mr..
Noel was practically out of the race.
Statements of that kind from the
Critz people, could be readily met, as
the motive was approved, but when
corroborated from Vardaman side, it
carried conviction to sufficient num-
ber to put Judge Critz in the lead Of
Mr.. Noel.
This is our judgement Of the sit
uation, after candid review Of all
the facts; and looking at the situa-
tion as a whole, we think it furnishes
more reason for complaint against
the Vardaman's side than against the
Critz side.
However, Senator Noel and his
friends have taken Messrs Vardaman
and Critz at their word and will vote
according to their views of the re-
spective merits Of the measures rep
resented bv Messrs Vardaman and
Critz, and is unefected by any per-
sonal phases of the canvass.

! have caused his attorney-general to
90 after the coal trust that William
Randolph Hearst had freed with his
own money and solely in the interest
Of the people. His voice was silent.
Instead of saying, "Sick 'em Knoxy,"
he left Mr.. Hearst to guard the tree
alone. The facts that are slowly
coming to light in regard TO the new
Bureau of Corporations in the De-
partment of Commerce should open
the eyes of the voters Of the country
to the real position of the president
on the trust question. In discussing
the Present Statistical Outlook in
Washington" the correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin on July 27,
said Of this new bureau: "The work
now laid out for this bureau is Of a
really thorough type, and if it is pur-
sued with vigor on the lines now
suggested there will be good deal
of complaint in the near future when
the methods new contemplated are
actually applied. Pressure Of the
most strenuous sort will undoubtedly
be brought to bear at the White
House. Just how soon the depart
ment will really begin to show its
hand in the matter of trust investi-
cation cannot be certainly predicted,
but those who are in a position to
know say it will not be until after
the next presidential election. AS q
matter of fact, a good deal of time
is needed for the organization of the
work and for laying out special lines
of investigation. All this will con-
sumo many months, and Secretary
Cortelyou is too tactful a man to
weaken his strategic position by
opening fire in presidential cam
paign, if there would be any danger
of hurting his party thereby. 1t
will, therefore, be good while be-
fore there are any definite results of
the inquiries of the Bureau Of Cor
porations."

 A similar effect is produced in silvered mirrors by just laying on the refiectng character in one kind of tinfoil, and fil- Ing the rest of the surface with a foil of the same appearance, but different reflect ing quality. Akin to this style of work are the magic lacquers which at certain oblique angles disclose figures and lines which are invisible when looked upon at right angles to the laquer's surface. Odc- est of the oriental mirrors are those set at the bottom of cylinder or trun- cated cone whose surface is waved or un- dulating. The base reflects in ordinary manner; the sides in such a fashion as to produce foc or focal circles at various points. From one point of view the look CT sees a faint halo about his face at the bottom of the cylinder; from second point misty human face alongisde of his own; from a third face looking at him through his reflected eyes.
 The principle which undelies these odd images is the same as that used by Cooke and Maskelyne in London in producing their ghosts" and seems to have been employed with great skill by Cagliostro in the eighteenth century. .
