The supreme court of Tennessee
has rendered an important decis-
ion involving the right of a rail
road company to make discrimi-
mating transportation contracts.
\ few years ago the Memphis
Commercial Appeal by guarantee
ing Sl25 per day and securing an
exclusive contract for transporta-
ton of its papers, induced the
Southern railroad to inaugurate Il
special or additional passenger
train to run between Memphis and
Huntsville. After wards the Mem
phis Morning News was estab blish-
ed and demanded equal rights for
It's papers on that particular train,
rendering transportation charges,
but was refused on account of the
contract with the Commercial APP
peal, and the express company
suspended its service on the train
entirely TO avoid suit for refusing
transportation. The supreme court
decided that the railroad company
rs a common carrier exceeded its
authority to make contracts that
would discriminate in favor of one
class of shippers TO the detriment
of others, and affirmed the lower
court. which took the same view.

Leflore County Special Election

A special election was held in
Lefiore county last week for chan
Gerry clerk. to fill vacancy caused
by death. There were three can
didates. two of. whom received
nearly all the votes and they ran
so closely together as to require
the official canvass Of the returns
by the commissioners to decide
the result Upon investigation the
commissioners found great irregu-
larities and that numerous fraud
uent votes had been cast-lOI in
the entire county. At one precinct
there were s illegal votes cast; at
another 3; another q; another 4 !;
another IS: another 10; another =;
anolher u; another 3; and one box
with no list of voters, with 10 bal
lots and only : appearing on the
poll book as having voted. There
being only five or six votes differ
ence between the leading candi-
dates. and no manner of ascertain
ing who had received the fraudu-
lent vOtes, together with the other
gross Irregularities, the commits
sioners with unanimity decided
not to declare the result and re-
ported accordingly to the board of
supervisors, recon mendino an or
der for another special election.
Many of the votes declared illegal
were those Of persons who had not
registered four months prior TO the
election.
This incident serves to exempli-
fy the necessity for care and close
scrutiny on the part of election of
fcers i'm the matter of conducting
the approaching primary election.
The managers will probably be
furnished lists of qualified electors
at each precinct, and lists will also
btless be in the hands of chal-
lengers who champion the cause
of individual candidates. so that
illegal voting from that source
may with a little caution be re-
duced to the minimum. We sug-
gest that the county executive com
mite provide these printed lists
for the use OF the election officers
at each precinct, so that errors
as to the four months registration
at least may bc avoided. The ex-
ecutive committees of several 9th
er counties have already adopted
such course and it ought to be-
come general.

FEAST OF PASSOVER
BEING CELEBRATED.
First of the Important Hebrew
Festivals is Now Here.

First of the Important Hebrew
Festivals is Now Here.
Yesterday at sunset the Hebrew
Feast of the Passover began, and ac-
cording to the ritual, continues seven
days. For the first time in the his
tory of the world this feast, which is
the equivalent to the GENTLE Easter.
falls upon Easter Sunday and in the
synagogues all over the world appro-
pirate services will be held. 1t is a
festival as strictly observed among
the Jews as the Day of Atonement
and is particularly emphasized by the
eating of the Matzoths, or unleavened
bread.
The Feast of the Passover, the first
of the three annual festivals of the
Jews, was instituted by Moses in COM
rnemoration of the deliverance of the
Israelites from Egyptian bondage, and
celebrated from the 18th to the 2ist of
Nissan, both inclusive, thus falling be-
tween the Gentle March and April,
at the time OF the first tuil moon in
the spring. The first and the last day
of the festival are particularly kept
holy and observed by abstaining from
work and by prayers and other cere-
monies, and during the whole period
the strict Jews eat the unleavened
bread.
From the records it Is found that on
the evening of the fourteenth Of Mi
san, the Passover lamb was killed by
the head of the family. The animal
was designated to be year old, male
and without hlemish. 1t was roasted
whole, with unbroken bones, and con-
sumed entirely at one meal. The blood
was sprinkled upon the door sill in
commemoration of the night preceding
the exodus from Egypt, when the
death angel passed through Egypt and
slew the first born in every household
not protected by the sign of the blood
on the door.
On account of some uncertainty
with respect to fixing the new moon
by the Sanhedrins at Jerusalem, the
Jews who lived in foreign countries,
were ordered to celebrate all their fes-
rivals on two successive days, and this
law is still enforced among the ortho-
doX Jews everywhere.
In a large number of instances the
Feast of the Passover is now a hallow-
ed family feast among the Jews. All
