 five Committee in regard to the select ion of United States Senators really calls for two Independent contests-thee one for filling the seats now occupied bv Senators Morgan and Pettus. the other for the filling of possible vacan- cics in the terms beginning in March, 1907 and 1909. respectively. If no va cancy should occur in those terms, our veteran Senators would be left free to seek succession themselves, and the voters hope there will be no vacancy.

The Delta Bank Of Leland has
closed its doors by order Of the direc-
tors, who have been investigating the
books of the institution. The failure
is due to the disappearance of the
cashier, W. H. Bell, with over $4,000
of the banks funds. Cashier Bell
left here six days ago for Memphis,
Tenn, and has not been heard from
since. No one suspected the condition
Of the bank until a transaction came
up that aroused the suspicious of the
directors, who Immediately began an
investigation. The exact amount of
the shortage will not be known until
the books are checked up, which will
require several days. Bell is bonded
in the United States Fidelity, of Bal
timore, for $4,000 and this will cover
the shortage, it is thought. Jack
Stinson, of Leland is the Assignee,
and the assignment is made without
reservation or preference. The de-
posits amount to about 1000, and it
Is thought that the depositors will be
paid in full and the stockholders re-
