That the sentiment OF The peo-
pie OF this county is against the
holding OF a special election ON
the 23rd of this month, for the
purpose OF filling the vacancy in
the House of Representatives
caused by the death of Hon. A..
+. Grantham, cannot be truth
fully gainsaid, and this senti.
ment was strongly evidenced at
DeKalb on Monday, when a pc
luton. requesting the Governor
to rescind his action in the mat
ter, was prepared, n~umerously
signed and forwarded to Jack
son.
Further, the sentiment against
this special election is so strong
that the County Committee post
poned action in The premises un-

position to incur any unnecessa-

essary. There is no likelihood
OF Governor Vardaman calling a
special session of the Legislature
prior to the fall election-indeed.
Judging the future by the past,
1T will be something extraordi-
nary indeed that will cause him
to call a special session at all
and the vacancy caused by Mr.
Grantham's death can be filled
at that time just as well as now.
1t is to be hoped that the Gov
ernor Will take the matter under
further advisement, and with the
facts set out before him in the
proper light, that he will rescind
his order for this election.
We believe that he will.

troduce resolution and have 1t referred to
the committee on rules. Mr.. DeArmond
today introduced the resolution and has
had 1t referred to the committee suggested
by Gen. Grosvenor.
The resolution provides 'that the Speaker
appoint committee of five members of the

early a date as may be practicable: that
said committee shall be authorized to sit
