comes that the voting was unusually
heavy, and it is estimated that near

'IRST PRIMARY BEING HELD.
City Full of Voters and Candidates
And WarmeSt Contest Ever
Held is in Progress.

Today is the day for which the
candidates have been marshalling
sheir forces ard outstanding their en-
4rgies since first they began their
canvass. The city is full to overflow
ing with voters and candidates, and
the greatest electioneering this city
has ever known is in progress. Good
humor is everywhere prevalent and |
opposing candidates and ardent sup |
porters of candidates have kept the
strenuosity of the hot campaign |
mellowed down by good natured
jokes and repartee.
Two sets of election commmis-
sioners have been appointed to facili
tate the handling of the votes, and
the ruling was made that voters living
on the east side of the city, making
the Northeastern road the division,
shold vote at the court house, while
all others should vote at the city hall.
| This was a wise provision, as it
makes error less liable to occur, and
will make the result known much
earlier. Both places have been
crowded since being opened early this
morning, and it is believed that
nearly every qualified voter in the
precinct will visi the polls, making
the vote here almost the turning
point for all county candidates. The
weather until shortly afternoon was
fair and extremely warm, but during
the latter part of the day a light
rain began, but ceassd after a short
time. This has served to throw g
damper on enthusiasm somewhat, but
the voting continued very lively all
the afternoon.
The results from this precinct vii
be known shortly after O'Clock
4 and the results from all over the stat
will be known early tomorrow morn

Jackson, Aug. 6.-The battle of
the bal Lots is being fought today in
the seventy-five counties of Mississip-
pi, and according to the result will
Mississippi be governed. The firsf
general democratic primary held in
the state, to nominate two United
States senators, Il governor and other
state and county officials. will end
at six O'CLOCK this afternoon. The
fight between a number of the candi-
dates has been bitter. and there is q
general feeling Of relief that it is
ended A primary in Mississippi
held by the democrats is equivalent
to an election, as there is bat one
party in the state; hence the primary
is always referred TO as an election, for
it is, in fact, equal to one.
A man from another world, had he
dropped down this morning, could
have told that something unusual
was taking place in Mississippi.

The police jury at its meeting
here Monday has displayed some
liberality towards the public
schools. Messrs. T. j. Liable and
Robert Martin made pleading to
the jury in favor of increased sp-
preparation. and the jury readily
agreed that this parish should be
a leading one in the line of public
education, and have agreed for the
coming year to set aside two mills
of the tax, for school purpose.
Last year only one mill was sp-
propriated to the schools. With
the special tax voted by the peo-
pie. the increased .apportionment
by the police jury, we can expect
that in year or two, when We
will be able to complete the bull
dings and fully equip them on the
lines contemplated by the school
board, we are sure that we will
have a model school system, as
good'if not better than any other
parish in the state. Our people
are taking some pride in our
schools, and the more we improve
them and raise their standard. the
more efficient they will be and the
more they will be appreciated by
our own people.
