Will be Fought To-
morrow.
PREPARING FOR THE FRAY
And the Excitement is Approaching
the Fever Heat-ReturnS Will
be Known at Early Hour.
JUDGE CRITz is THE FAV0RlTE.
Big Odds Being Offered on Him
Two Railroad Commissioners
to be Elected.

Jackson, Aug. 26. The governor
ship of Mississippi will be decided at
the primary election to be held to-
morrow, and on the eve Of the big
battle the Critz and Vardaman forces
are both stoutly calming victory for
their favorite.
The county executive committees
met in some of the counties today and
filled vacancies in the lists OF election
managers and bailiffs, some of the Off
GERS who served in the first primary
on the 9th of August found it impossi-
BILE to serve in the second primary.
Some falling off in the vote, as
compared with the first primary, is
anticipated, but it will not be so
heavy as first expected, owing to the
intense feeling that has been worked
mp, and the political managers say
that the total vote cast will be at least
50, 900, and may go 5000 in excess of
that figure. The total vote in the
fl irst primary was 98, 775.
Judge Critz continues to be the IA
vorite in the betting, odds of two to
one and three to two being offered in
his favor. Plenty of takers are
found at these odds, however, and if
Judge Critz is the winner his major
ity will not exceed u, 600.
Public feeling is high, especia lly
in the larger towns, AMI it is feared
that the intense partisan spirit Is
likely to result in bloodshed at the
polls.
Owing to the brevity Of the ticket,
the election returns will be quickly
reported, and the result Of the gov
ernorship fight will probably be
known by eleven O'Clock Thursday
night unless the result is very close,
in which event it will require the
official figures to determine the win
ner.
Railroad commissioners are to be
elected in the middle and southern
district /. In the middle district the
race is between r. /. Bradley, o.
Kinds, aud J. ID. McInnis, of Lauder
dale, with chances somewhat il
favor of the latter. 1t is probable
that DR.. F. NJ. Sheppard, of Jones
will defeat Hon. S. d. McNair, O
Jefferson, in the southern district.

NEW WIRELESS SYSTEM.
Invention In TeIegraphy by Chi
cago Electrician.

caGo Electrician.
A Chicago electrician named G. 5.
Piggott declares that he has invented
new system of wireless telegraphy
which is simpler than those now in use.
THE new SYSTEM" says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. should it prove commercially
practicable, has, it is claimed, many
advantages over the style used by Mar
conf in his invention. First, there is no
pole at either receiving or sending sta
ton, and although in recent tests the
receiver was exposed on the deck OF the
vessel the transmitter was in the room
of a house, and, according to the in
Ventor. the receiver would have re-
sponded to every message even IL 1t
were carried in a pocket. An intensi-
fer makes the poles unnecessary. To
prevent the interference of foreign cur
rents each instrument is to respond
only to a current of a certain rapidity
of alienation. This, says the inventor,
may be done so accurately that no in
reference of any kind is possible, no
matter through what medium the vi

| their journey from one instrument to
| another \ special code of telegraphy
is used by Mr.. Piggott, called the dou-
| BILE dot code. in which dots are used
| instead of the dots and dashes of the
Morse system"
The invention is described thus:
Instead of employing a Taper and
sounder on my receiver | use a Taper
sOunder,' one instrument which does
the work of two and takes up less
space l also employ an intensifier Of
my own construction, which makes the
station poles unnecessary. This sys-
TEN, which l call space telegraphy,' is
| timed to a certain rapidity of alterna-
ton, and if outside vibrations of differ
ent time intervene they will not affect
the workings of my instrument. The
current has approximately 26,000 al
! formations per second, and all other vi
brationS of lesser or greater alternating
rapidity will not be recorded on my re-
ceiver My transmitter is what is COM
! monty called an alternating current,
static, electric generator, mechanically
operated. This is a mechanical con-
trivance which gets its current from
the ether. and therefore / do not use a
| shark coil"

THE "SINGlNG SANDS"
Massachusetts Professor Explains
Musical Noises at SeashOre.

Massachusetts Professor Explains
Musical Noises at seashOre.
At the field meeting of the Manches-
ter (Mass) Historical society and Essex
institute Professor J. II. Sears of the
Peabody Academy of Science spoke re-
garding the famous musical sands
which have given the name of Singing
beach to one part of Manchester
ocean front. He announced that he
had actually discovered the cause of
the peculiar sounds and had expert
mented so well that he could as an
agent bring them about at will.
Professor Sears says the theory is, in
brief. as follows: The sounds really are
produced by minerals of a harder ma
ture than the sand itself, which is COM
posed of quartz and feldspar. Occa-
sional grains of both quartz and field
spar contain inclusions of such min
erals as tourmaline and Zircon Tour
maline possesses a hardness of nine,
and that of Zircon is from eight and a
half to nine, while the hardness of
quartz is seven and feldspar is still
softer, with its hardness measured only
at six.
The grains of quartz and feldspar
which contain these inclusions upon be-
ing worn away leave the inclusions in
condition of points surrounding the
grain of sand. These points. since they
are so much harder than the mass of
sand, give out scratching sound when
the sands are rubbed together, and
these sounds are at Singing beach dis
tinctly musical.

THE COTTON CROP
In Perry County is Considered the
Best in Years Picking Has
Begun.

Farmers all over the county who
have raised cotton this year are very
hopeful of the fine prospects for one
of the best cotton crops in this sec
tion for years. 1t was at first thought
the cotton crop in this section would
be a failure, but just at the crisis the
condition became favorable, and have
remained so since that time. The
res lit is that the staple is in -four
ishing condition, and, fortunately,
entirely free from insects, and almost
so FROM the equally deadly rust. In
no part of the county have reports
come of damage by worms, and only
in few scattered localities has rust
been reported and rhis has done 10
great damage, even where it exists.
The era OF prosperity for the farm
ers that must come now with cot
ton at its present price and fine crop
OIL hand means much for this section,
especially Hattiesburg, it being the
commercial centers for many miles
around. The farmers sales will net
them almost unprecedented
amounts, and this will mean not only
the greater prosperity for them, but
for the people as a whole. From
our merchants to our artisans the
effect will be noted, and since nearly
all other crop prospects, corn especially.
are very fine.

SET OF DICKENS $4,000.
Extravagances of Cashier Who
Killed Himself.


Killed Himself.
When Howard T. Goodwin, cashier
for CasSatt q Co., bankers and brokers
of Philadelphia, killed himself last De
cember it was said that, aside from his
stock speculation, his only extrav-
agance was book buying. To what
lengths Goodwin carried this, says a
late Philadelphia dispatch, develops as
result of the cataloguing of his library,
valued at several hundred thousand
dollars, preparatory to its being offered
for sale. He permitted himself indul-
gences in first editions, editions de luxe,
rare works and extra illustrated vol.
umes that halted at no expense.
Pre-eminent in the collection is set
of Dickens for which Goodwin had cor
tracted to pay the enormous price of
S130,000. There were to have been 125
volumes with an extra portfolio of IL
Illustrations. When Goodwin committed
suicide only three volumes had been de-
livered TO him.

REAL ESTATE REFLEX.
Very Encouraging Signs For Hat

Shown.

This has been made memorable
day in the number of important real
estate transactions that have taken
place. Tom Ferguson says he never
witnes led such demand as has
sprung up here within the last thirty
days. and would it be termed egotlst-
ical in The Progress to claim a little
credit for this spirited demand. since
in its every issue under the new
ownership it has pictured more glori-
ous times ahead for Hattiesburg?

ANOTHER
SLander Nailed.

The report is being industricusly circulated
by the enemies of Judge Critz that he is opposed
to union labor. This is malicious SANDER of the
worst sort, and is in keeping with the plan of
campaign that is being waged by the Vardaman
men. Prominent among his supporters among
the union labor of Jackson is Mr.. A. B.
Lowe, the secretary Of the Trades and Labor
Council of the city of jackson, which is COM
posed of delegates from all the local unions. An
other is Mr.. w. E. Zebach secretary OF jackson
Typographical Union. The gentlemen named
have been prominent IN the ranks of union labor
in the city for years and they and hundreds of
union men in Jackson are satisfied with the atti-
tude that Judge CrItz has taken on the question
of union labor Union men are hereby warned
against any stories which may appear stating
that Judge Critz is opposed to union labor. Most
of the printing for the Vardaman committee in
this city has been done in an office which is
closed to union labor, having been blackliSted by
the Typographical Union. Union men, this clrcu-
lar, as you will see, bears the label Of the Typo
graphical Union and the work on it has been done
in a union office where the men who produced it
received fair wage.

In ordinary life Pierre Lott is Louis

The plaintiffs asserted that the transfer
