COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES
Hold Meetings for Naming Primary

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 30.-Perahrs two
thirds of the county executive COM
mittees in Mississippi held meetings
yesterday for the purpose of naming
primary dates and making other ar
rangements for the coming election.
The duties of county committees are
so plainly pointed out by the new
primary law that the meetings for this
purpose are of very formal nature,
the bodies having nothing to do save
to name the same dates as those
selected by the state executive COM
mittee, August 9th and 9th, and to
Tx the assessments on candidates to
defray the expenses of the election.
The assessments on state candidates
will range from twenty-five cents to
81 30, and in no instance should it
cost any candidate over 1926 to get his
name on the ticket in every county
In the state, while it is quite likely
that the average will not exceed
800. The county candidates are to

FRANK B. MOORE
The Most Famous Photographer in
the South Now Located in
this City.

Never before have the people of
this city been given such an oppor-
tunity of obtaining PHOTOGRAPHIC work
of so great merit as is now presented
them by Frank Moore, one of the
best photographer. in the United
States. He has been in New Orleans
for a number of years in this business
and has gained for himself the repu-
taiton of being easily the best photog-
rapher in that city.
Mr.. Moore comes to our city more
for the purpose of recreation than any
other, and has formed a combination
with our we'll known citizen, \. s.
Pitts, proprietor of the Elite studio
intending to remain with him for a
short while, returning then to his
home. A Qrogress representatiS
called TO see Mr. Moore, and was
shown specimens of his work, OF
which it is no exaggeration to say
were absolutely perfect
Mr.. Moore stated that it was his
intention to spend hundreds of dollars
advertising his business, both here
and in New Orleans, and as AN in.
stance of this he said that he was
going to give to all the secret organi.
cations in the city complete set Of
pictures comprising each individua
member, and all put on an immenst
frame in the respective lodges. A
the prices usually paid for such worl
this alone will aggregate almos
$1,000.
The studio is being entirely reno

be assessed from S. to SO in a ma
jority of the counties.
Another formal matter for the
county committees to dispose of is to
take action regarding fioater senators
and representatives, and as the dem
ocratic principle of alienation will
be universally followed this work can
be disposed of in short order.
The new primary law requires the
county committees to meet on the first
or second day after the election, can
vass the returns, declare the result,
announce the nominees for county
and county district offices, and the
name of the candidates to be submit
ted in the second primary. The vote
for state and district offices is to be
tabulated and certified to the state ex-
ecutive committee and mailed to that
body within thirty six hours after the
result is known. The state commit
tee in turn meets one week from the
date of the primary and canvasses the
returns of all the senatorial, state and
district contests.
The county committees have been
compelled to elect many new members
on account of the larger number of old
members who are running for office
and were therefore compelled to re-
sign.

In Mississippi Today-Both Ne
groes, and Will be Hanged on
Same G3lloWs.


Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 30.-Three legal
hangings occurred in Mississippi to-
day, the victims of the hangman's s
moose in each instance being negroes
who were convicted of the crime of
murder.
A double hanging took place at
Holly Springs which was witnessed
by several Thousand persons. The
condemned men were Charles Strick-
land and Sol GLASGOW, and they were
dropped through the same trap by
Sheriff McWilliams. death resulting
few minutes later.
Strickland was convicted of the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Thompson,
which occurred in 1896 He was cap
tured six years later and the first
sentence of death was reyesed by the
supreme court. Again he was con.
victed. and the second death SEN
tence was affirmed.
Sol GLASGOW killed white boy
named Neil Jones at Holly Springs
The crime was wholly without pro
vocation. and sentiment was very higf
in the community against the pris
oner. An attempt was made TO Lynch

shrewed work of Sheriff McWilliam

ANOTHER new BUILDING.
To Be Constructed on Corner Front
and Mobile Streets by E.
6. Eaton.

Nearly all of the vacant lots in the |
burnt district on Front and Mobile |
streets are now occupied by handsome, !
creditable and prosperous business
houses, and the progressive citizens
Of our city are always contemplating !
some new addition, making it an
assured fact that all that portion of
the city now occupied by canvas tents !
containing fish stands, fruit stands, |
restaurants, blind tigers, gaming |
rooms, and almost every form of
enterprise, many, however, per-
fectly legitimate, will at some near
future date be occupied by two, |
three and four story brick buildings
such as will grace the city and add to
its wealth and standing. A notable
instance of this is the recent letting
of a contract by E. @. Eaton, a prom
inent citizen of our city, for a large
brick building to be erected on the
corner of Front and Pine streets, on
the lot formerly occupied by W. ".
Massengale, whose store was destroyed
in the big fire. The work has al
ready begun, and the editice promises
to be splendid addition to the num-
erous large buildings we already have.
The wisdom of erecting business
houses on the vacant lots seems too
apparent to be spoken of, yet the pro-
- .t,o>.>> --e,.~.- |
unoccupied, for the purpose, it is sup
posed, of speculation. Let these fol-
low the plan of Mr.. Eaton and many
others who have builded on this pro-
perty, and the result will be gratifying
both to them and to the public in gen.
eral.

PRETTY HIGH PRICE
Is That Charged Candidates by the
Different Counties in
the State.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 30. Several of the
county committees which held their
session yesterday fixed the assessments
on state candidates for primary ex-
penses very high, the figures rang
ing from S3 to S. each. The object
of this committee, it seems, was to
make the candidates assist in paying
the expenses of conducting the e'ec-
tion, as we'll as printing the ballot,
and it is claimed that this is violative
of the spirit of the new primary
law. Such instances, however. are
very few, and it is not believed that
the average charge on state candidates
will exceed 81.
