in the raising of cantaloupes and mel

less tEan 3 600 acres planted in canta-

CONTEST
POLITICIANS NOW FIGUR-
ING ON DETAILS OF RACE
AS TO A JOINT DISCUSSION.

Tne action of the State Democratic
Committee in calling a Senatorial prl-
mary for Nav 10 next and State con
vention for Nav 2, has uet with the
approval of all who have expressed
themselves on the subject Few of the
politicians who gathered tor the meet
ing were in the city Sunday. but many
favorable expressions We're heard from
them before they LETT Saturday night.
The prevailing question IS: "Will
there be joint debate?' 1t IS gen
orally understood that Senator Car

Saturday night. sent Gov. Taylor a
challenge for y joint debate, and rumOr

ton of this could be received SUNDAY
from Gov. Taylor, who good -naturedly
evaded direct answers to questions.
Friends of both candidates profess 70
be favorable to Joint debate. Some
months ago the two were discussing the
matter, but no direct steps towards an
agreement were ever taken, and the
matter of dates was never discussed.
Now that the primry Is settled for
Nav u there is something definite to
figure upon, aud owing to the meeting
of Congress Dec. something will have
to be decided very quickly, as it is
thought that Senator Carmack will not
allow the campaign to interfere with
his official duties. Whatever is done
towards Joint discussion will proha-

weeks in order that the mill my
