 For 1t is an immense structure. For three hours the Commissioners walked through the halls Investigating, watch ing and talking with patients. In some mysterious way news of the com- ing of the commission had flashed over the building, in the rooms and in the halls. The patients were eagerly wait ing and they were given every oppor- tunity by the doctors and nurses to talk with the investigators.
 They would pull the coat sleeves of some member of the Commission, take him aside when they had complaint to make, and talk to him privately. Some inmates had written notes and had them ready to pass to the Commission CTS
 They had ample opportunity to do this, or to talk with the Commission CTS free from the presence of the doe tors or the nurses. Those who had complaints were told they would be given hearing before the Commission. and they were in their informal state ments listened to attentiveiy by the Commissioners
 At the close of the inspection of the womens' building, at the request of the Commission, pr. J. T. Sesrcy Super intendent, delivered an informal ad- dress on, insanity The Commission dined at the Hospital. They were then given seats of honor at a typical asy- lum dance. while the patients. to the music of piano and violin, moved through quadrilles, the waltz and the grand march. s
 No testimony was taken today. There was no time. The Commission will to- morrow morning continue it's inspec- tion of the building. For three hours walking this afternoon only carried the members through the womens' build ing.
 The rersonnel of the Commission has undergone another change. Senator Merritt was unable to serve and Sena- tor Harry F. Reese of Dallas has been named in his place.
 The members of the Commission who reached Tuscaloosa this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock were: Chairman J. c. King, Senator W. H. Hayes and Rep resentatives J. J. Arnold and Gaston Gunter. They were met at the depot and driven to the asylum, where they remained until 80 tonight

 Memphis. Tenn. Aug 22.--The second primary election for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination was held in Mississippi today. the run on being between E. F. Noel of Holmes Coun- ty and Earl Brewer of Coahoma Coun- ty.
 Weather conditions were good. Early returns indicate that the vote polled was not as large as that cast in the vardaman- williams Senatorial primary on August list.
 Early returns from twenty-four towns in North Mississippi give Noel a lead of 20s votes.
 At II o'clock complete returns from ten counties out of seventy-eight counties in the State, gave Noel ma jority of HOO votes. This is a dis- tinct gain for Noel over his vote in these counties in the first primary.
 Returns will necessarily be slow and the result will probably not be known until tomorrow afternoon.

STRIKE IN GREENWATER
AND DEATH VALLEY

Greenwater. May ia strike was made
in shaft No. 2 of the Greenwater &
Death Valley last Thursday st depth
OF AS feet from the collar. The lead was
a blind one, dipping contrary to the real
fissure The main ledge dips south, while
the ore the men cut Thursday night dips
to the north. The vein is heavily miner
allied, carrying both the oxide and posi-
tive information OF the near approach of
the sulphide on which this camp depends,
and which now appears beyond a reason
able doubt in the showing now in the
shaft.
More miners are working in this dis
trict today than there has ever been DUR
ing the past. There are twenty HOSTS
developing, and many more IN course of
contemplation. There are at least half
dozen shafts down to the soo-foot level,
and they are being pushed to greater
depth. When 1t is realized that only nine
months ego there were but one hoist IN
the entire district. IL can be readily per-
ceived that the Greenwater district sur
passes any district on the desert for the
amount OF Improvements and the prog
ress made in so short and limited space
of time.
