Jackson.-A second primary in the
race for governor between Vardaman
and Critz seems assured. The returns
have been slow coming in, but they
have practically all been received with
the exception of three counties, with
two electoral votes each. making to-
tai of six. These counties could not
change the result, no matter into
whose columns they went. According
to the returns Vardaraan has 119 cleo
toral votes sure; Critz 1T, and Noel
"a. There are 266 electoral votes in
the State, and it will take 134 to make
nomination, so giving Vardaman the
six doubtful counties, a second pri-
mary on the 9th of this month would
be necessary to decide the contest. In
the race for senator, Money and Nc
Laurin go in on first ballot.

telegram sent before.

This is the first official notice that
Mgr. Falconio has received of the cleo
ton of Cardinal Sarto as pope. The
first telegram mentioned by Mgr.
Merry del Val has not been. received
at the legation here. Immediately
upon receipt of the above cablegram,
Mgr. Falconio issued the following ad-
dress to the bishops within his juris-
diction:
"Washington, D. @.
''Your Lordship: After the painful
announcement of the death of Leo
Kill, I am happy to bring you today
tidings of great JOY. The most emi-
nent Cardinal Joseph Sarto, patriarch
of Venice, has been elected pope, and
has assumed the name of Plus x.
Such is the consoling information I
have just received from Mgr. Merry
del Val, through cablegram.
''With the election of the new pope
a new link has been added to the gold
en- chain of the succession of Roman
pontiffs, which stretches unbroken
across the broad and historic field
from st. Peter in the first century to
the newly elected pastor in the twen-
tieth.
''Let us rejoice and return thanks
to Divine Providence for having so
speedily provided the church with an
other worthy pastor. Guided by our
faith, we recognizesin him the success
sor of st. Peter, the vicar of our
divine Lord, our spiritual father, the
supreme pastor of the church. As
such he claims our obedience, love
and veneration, and I have no doubt
that the Catholics of America, faithful
to their glorious traditions, will equal
those of every other nation in their
fidelity and attachment to the new
Pontiff.
"May God grant him a long and
prosperous reign for the welfare of the
church and the honor of the apostolic
see.
I'm making this announcement to
you, I have the honor to remain, most
faithfully yours in Christ.

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is infiamed you have rumb-

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

stroyed forever; mine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
