David r. Smith, !. Necessary to nom-
nation. So.
Judge Paynter's nomination ends one
of the hardest fought senatorial strug-
giles waged during the past twenty years
of Kentucky politics. His nearest ops
ponent was J. G. S. Blackburn. the in
cumbent who represented Kentucky In
the House and Senate with but one in
Permission for nearly a quarter of a
century. When the joint caucus met to-
night there was no contest over the
craftsmanship Senator Henry George. a
Paynter supporter, who was last night
chosen chairman of the Senate caucus,

ticians already foresee one OF the effects
of the contest on kentucky politics in
the future.

RAP|DITY OF

Gov. Nardaman Says Negroes
Who Read and Write More
Criminal Than Illiterate.
fBy Associated Press.l

JACKSON. MISS, January Ex-Governor
James X. Vardaman in his annual mes
sage to the Mississippi Legislature, which
assembled to-day again took strong
stand against spending public money for
the education of the negro. saying in part:
what shall we do with she negro? Ger
tainly the education suited to the white
child does not suit the negro This has
been demonstrated by forty years of
experience, and the expenditure in the
Southern States of nearly three million
of dollars.
As race the negro is deterioating
morally every day Time has demons
strated that he is more criminal as a
free man than as a slave: that he is In
creasing in criminality with fearful rapid
ity, being one-third more criminal in 1890
than he was in 1880. The startling facts
revealed by the census show that those
who can read and write are more criminal
than the illiterate. which Is true of no.
other element of our population.

A Strong Committee.

Chairman Henry C. Stuart. who pre-
sided, announced that he would select
his committee with great care. and when
the members had been chosen he would
Gala meeting for further action. De-
termination and enthusiasm marked the
entire proceedings last night, and some
ringing speeches We're made, which pro-
voked loud applause.
The principal one was by Chairman
Stuart, and 1t was along the most sensi-
BILE and practical lines.
At the request of the meeting he gave
brief description of his recent visit
to the International Live Stock show in
Chicago. perhaps the greatest of its
kind in the world
buildings had been erected four years
ago, he found them still in good repair,
and that their size had been adrupled.
The Pavilion, he declared. would seat as
many people as Madison Square Garden,
and around 1t were acres of other build
ings.
and yet" he said, Eat both the after
noon and evening performances thou
sands were turned away, and heard the
manager say the capacity would have
to be doubled next year.
81 mention this to show the growing
interest in agricultural pursuits in this
country" he went on.
The practical farmer has at last
reached the conclusion that book farm
ing is not a failure. There is a rising
tide along this line, and men are search
ing the books and journals for advanced
ideas in the prosecution of their work.
