The call for primary to nomi-
nate Democratic candidates for
magistrates, school directors and
constables in the fifth district is a
little unusnal, and there seems to
have been no demand for it. But
inasmuch as it has been called for
July IA, we trust that the repre-
sentative voters of the district will
select ticket composed of strong
men who are willing to sacrifice
private interests, if need be, for
the public veal.

AS usual, the "pie counter" is
causing all the trouble in the
ranks of the Tennessee Republi-
cans. The distribution of federal
jobs is too fascinating for Brown
low to give up. The governorship
is q very small thing to Brownlow
and Evans; it is question of lead
ership with them, and it is SO I'M
derstood by every little Republi-
can politician in,, the State. So
long as the present method of dis
tributing federal Offices prevails
in Tennessee the Democrats have
little to fear from their political
adversaries.

Among the quaint and ancient cere-
monies with which the Italian people
keep their Easter celebrations, none is
older or more picturesque than the II
known as the festival of the Beata Clio
wanna, which is held at sigma on Easter
Monday. Sigma is a small village stu
pted among the vine clad hills that
be seen from Florence. OF Giovanna,
the heroine of the festival, very little
appears to be known, except that she
was born somewhere in the thirteenth
century and used to tend her fathers
sheep, which We're pastured on the hill
sides of Sigma. Very early in life she
gained Il reputation for sanctity, and i'll
course of time her fame spread far aud
wide. She was credited with the pow
er of performing miracles and with
having special control over wild ami
mails and storms. In later life she re-
tired to a cell built into a house in the
village of Sigma and remained there im-
INJURED until she died and was buried in
the village church.

Ishes for miles around send gifts of oil
and other things to the church of her
native place. Populations headed by
the local clergy pour into sigma from
early morning until late in the after
noon. The gifts they bring are borne
by n donkey or a pony, on whose back.
in addition, is a small child, who is sup
posed to be the prettiest the village can
produce. His hair and neck are cover
ed with necklaces and other articles of
jewelry, with which the women have
decorated him, and he is often clad i'll
gold embroidered robes.
AS each procession is sighted the ofii-
cials Of the church sally out to meet it,
with banners flying and bands playing.
and it is solemnly conducted into Sigma.
The donkey, with its burden, is led into
the church and up to the altar, where
prayers are said and the gifts removed.
In the streets and open places of the
village a fair is always held on these
occasions, with the accompaniment of
merry-go-rounds, steam organs and itin-
Grant performances of the usua de-
scriptions. At sunset a stiffness falls
upon the whole place, and the priest ap-
pears upon the small gallery over the
church door, and there, holding up to
view the hands and other relics of the

upon the assembled people.-London

"Everyman."

Ben Greet, the distinguished London actor and producer, states that the first impression of "Everyman," which his company is to present at the Jefferson theatre Wednesday afternoon and night, December 19, is traceable to the year 1929 but there are good reasons for believing that this quaint morality play was in manuscript early as the reign of Ed ward IV-before Columbus discovered America.
 During the reign of Henry VIII an edi- ton of the play was published, and evil dently at that time it was popular and often presented. The next edition occurs century later. Dodsley's edition is the best known and the one most frequently found In the libraries of dramatic enthu- siasts. Owing to the success of Every man as acted by the Greet company. there are enumerable editions of the work. put out by both American and English publishers.
 "Everyman' had not been presented within the last two centuries until revised by William Peel for the Elzabethan Stage society of England for a single matinee performance in the open air The most enthusiastic member of the society had no conception of the dramatic strength of | the play before a modern audience until
 that performance.
