Dixie MinstreIs.

Arrangements were made last
night with Mr.. ROltaire, to direct
a performance here for the ben
eft of the Columb bus Rifiemen.
The following is a clipping of his
work at the University and
speaks for itself. The perSOnel
of the company will appear Sun
day.
On last Tuesday night one of
the best performances that have
been given here this year, and
the best minstrel show that has
been given by the students in
several years was at the opera
house. The crowd began to as

to make a hit right from the
start. Several rags" were
sung by the Ministries and &C
cOmpanied by j. E. Luckett who
had charge of the music. One
of the star features of the show
was the Varsity quartette, com
posed of Gladdis. Holmes. Myers
and Boyd. Having been trained
to excellence by Miss Winches-
ter Of the Woman's College, they
received loud and repeated APP
plause to their sweet strains.
The bar and mat tum bling was
of no mean quality and a con
spicuous part of the perform

The Election Ordered.

AS per the call Of the Chair
man of the State Democratic
Executive Committee that body
met in Jackson last Monday for
the purpose of considering mat
tiers of interest to the party and
for the purpose Of ordering a
State primary to nominate State
and county officers. Upon mo-
ton. Thursday, August 9th, was
decided upon as the date for the
first primary and accordingly it
will be held upon that date.
The matter of qualification
came up for consideration and
precipitated a spirited debate
1t will be recalled that the At
tOrney General ruled that in or
der for a voter to participate i'll
the August primary that he
must have been registered four
months before same. NotWith-
standing the Supreme Court in
an opinion sustained the position
of the Attorney General the com
mittee decided that every man
who will have registered four
months before the regular cleo
ton in November will be qualified
to vote in the primary in August.
The primary will be restricted
to white voters.
A resolution was adopted ask
ing the county executive com
mittees not to charge the State
candidates over $3.50 for the
privilege of putting their names
on the State tickets and an order
was passed that every candidate
for State Offices must register
his name with the chairman of
the State committee thirty days
before tie first election or on or
before July 9th.

Candidate Crawford continues
to pour hot shot into the peni-
tertiary board and the State
prison management. He says
he State convicts are doing a
great deal of work but the State
Is receiving little pay; that the
products of the farm are illegally
sold and improperly accounted
for; that while the prison inves-
tigating committee report did
not charge dishonesty it did
show gross mismanagement.
This convict system in Mississ-
ippi will be compelled to make d
full and correct accounting to
the people if Vardaman is elected
and it is this thought which in
spires much of the opposition
to him.

The East Mississippi Times
says that when the campaign be
gan Gov. Logino had no following
in Noxubee, but in few short
weeks a revolution of public sen
timent occurred there, and he
will carry that county. A polit-
ical sentiment that is as tickle as
this is liable to change again be
fore the August primary and
Longino 5 strength will vanish to
the wind. 1t occurs to US ia this
connection. however, that the
reaction" and the revolution
are doing overtime in Mississ-
ippi's present campaign.

Jack Ertman, a negro residing
on the Gentry place near Mill
port, numerically beat his wife
last week using a hammer on
her and the poor woman died.
Batman made his escape coming
to this city, being seen by the
police officers before they re
ceived notice to be on the look
out for him. The negro went
over in the prairie and then re
turned to his home where Sheriff
Hollis, of Lamar. found him. In
attem pting his arrest it was nee
essary to shoot him, but the ne
gro was not killed. Sheriff Hol-
lis arrived in this city last Sun
day and carried the young white
man named Harper back to La
mar where he was wanted for
hog stealing.

If the conservative crowd will
give US as many one dollar bills
as Vardaman has gained votes
since the campaign opened we
will give them as many five dol

he has lost. Now. those fellows

opened will please show up, put

Our friend Bernard Foster,
who returned this morning from
the coast section OF Mississippi,
states that Money and Varda-
man will carry jackson, Han
cock and Harrison counties.
Both gentlemen have many en-
thusiastic and influential friends
working hard in their behalf
and, in fact, the people in gener-
al in that section of the State are
for Vardaman and Money.
| Vicksburg Post
The fellows who have been
running the State Conventions
say that Vardaman is losing
ground every day, but the men
out in the country who do the
voting don't talk that way. By
the way, one man now has as
much voice in elections as an
other. -Ackerman Plaindealer.
The report that Major Varda-
man is losing ground is only an
other political trick. The truth
is that Vardaman is the strong
est man in the field to day, and
his popularity is spreading with
a rapidity that is alarming to the
other fellows. Newton Times.
After the conclusion of his ad-
dress Major Vardaman was driv-
en- to Bethany, where he adj
dressed another very large and
enthusiastic crowd Of loyal sup
porters. and from the best infor-
nation obtainable he will sweep
the western portion of this coun-
ty by an immense majority. ~

Hot Weather Weakness.

If you feel tagged out, listless and

suffering from the facilitating effects
of summer weather. These symptoms
indicate that a tonic is needed that

Recently there have been
charges of Mark Hannaizing in
the campaign, but the finger of
suspicion cannot be pointed at
Major Vardaman. No one is
employed TO work in his interest,
but the people are doing it of their
own free will. He is not able to
hire men and send them out and
if he were able a thousand times
over he would scorn to do so.
Altogether, the clean and able
manner in which Major Varda-
man is conducting his campaign
without any manager is meeting
the hearty approval Of the peo-
pie. the great masses. as it is
shown by the manner in which
they are rallying around his
standard. -Commonwealth.
It is said that Vardaman will
carry Lauderdale county, the
home of the Meridian Press.
over both of his opponents. A
Of the county papers
are for Vardaman. while those

This is strange isn't it2 A ma
jority of the common people are
for Vardaman. majority of the
rich politicians are against him. |
