Der of counties the democratic county
executive committees are arranging
to have the primaries for county Off
GERS held on date separate from that
of the state primary.
There has been some criticism of
this action, and in defense the county
comitteemen of several counties claim
that it will be almost impossible to
make their dates correspond with the
state primary, owing to the extreme
length of the ticket, some counties
having from fifty to one hundred cam
didates in the field, and to vote a
ticket of this length in addition to
the state ticket would render it diff
cult for all OF the voters to pass
through the polling booths, and
would also greatly delay the county.
Again, spirit of feeling is pre-
valent in some counties that local
politics should not be complicated
with the state campaign, the candi
dates fearing that their chances might
be crippled thereby. This is an
other manifestation of the spirit of
every man for himself" ," which has
been prevalent to a marked extent
since the campaign opened.

pectations it has been necessary to
increase the acquisitions for rolling
stock. One town alone, Brook haven,
is expected to send two thousand visi-
tors.
The details of the parade on June
have been cmpleted, the line of march
arranged, and Grand Marshal Robert
Lowry has all Of the preliminaries
we'll in hand. The command to start
will be given from the head of the
column promptly at II O'Clock, and
all bodies expecting to participate who
do not arrive before that time will be
expected to fall in at the rear.
The local fraternity organizations

entertain visiting members, and the
Masons, Woodmen of the World, Odd
Fellows Knights of Pythias and
Elks will keep open house during the
two days.

Jackson, June THE coming week
will be the busiest in Jackson's his
tory. Already the city has commenced
to fill up with visitors to attend the
state union Of the confederate veter-
ans which assemblies Tuesday morn
ing, and the corner stone ceremonies
at the new state house, which take
place on the day following.
The town is in gala attire, flags
and bunting being draped from all
buildings in the business district.
The hotels are crowded, and each in
coming train brings persons who in
tend to remain until after Thursday
and participate in the festivities.
1t is expected that there will be at
least one thousand veterans on hand
when General Lowry calls the state
reunion to order Tuesday morning at
8 O'Clock. Decorators were busy all
day Sunday at the old state house,
where the sessions are to be held,
and the venerable old pile is swarthed
in gay colors and the pictures of the
confederate heroes. This is perhaps
the last time that the structure will
be decorated for public occasion, as
the new state house will be occupied
in July, ana the decorators have made
it a noteworthy undertaking, the
grimy walls and crumbling pillars be-
ing almost completely hidden from
sight beneath a profousion of con-
federate flags and red and white bunt-

L
jackson, June 1.-The open letter
of Hon. E. F. Noel, candidate for
governor, in which he makes a sharp
reply to some of his critics, and de-
nounces several campaign canards,
has attracted considerable attention.
Mr.. Noel is unquestionably the most
aggressive candidate in the field for
the governorship, and his style OF
campaigning produces even greater
spirit for the contest than has yet
been shown. In his speech at Green
vile he directd some warm personali-
ties toward Major Vardaman, and the
manner in which he did so is said to
have won many votes.
It has been rumored about for the
past ten days that unless Mr.. Noel re-
Trained from his criticisms Of Varda-
man, and charging him with incon-
sistency in his public record that he
would be called personally to account
for the language used. Mr.. Noel
took occasion at Greenville to remark
in the presence of Major Vardaman
that be was a peaceable man, and
was not looking for trouble, but II
any person desired to call him per
sonally to account he was wiling tC
accommodate them in any manner
they might name. His language
was cool and collected, but it had q
perceptible effect on the audience.
