| xecat.ve.-New York Sun.
It IS not often that our 1n2enio.s
contemporary permits u i to be
lpronged on its own harpoon, So to
speak It certainly is al !past at
variance with itself for this time at
least. The Sun sent a spec.si staff

partment 10 Meridian to see. hear and
become acquainted with the two
statesmen and contestants With whem
had been dealing at ST i long
range. Ne quote an extract rom the

Says the Suns correspondent:
The upshot IS evolved in as dense
cloud OF uncertainty as ever,
though the primaries are only about
three weeks distant. A particularly
critical and observant person might
find the enthusiasm for Vardaman
more genuine than that exhibited II

Hon. John Sharp Williams is attend

he goes, but to the dispassionate eat
this does not ring quite true 1t re

acclamations aroused by Vardaman

This is all the more perplexing be-
cause, while Mr.. Williams dresses
himself and manipulates his tobacco
in fashion which should commend
him to the profoundest affections of
the "hill billies," Vardaman keeps
himself SO clean and neat and fresh
that one would expect him to incur
suspicion, if not open enmity, as a
dandy.
I'm all respects Of manner, bearing
and external appearance, the contrast
between the two men is literally

USES FOR OLD RAGS.
Odds and Ends Can Be Turned e.
Good Account.

Old balbriggan underwear and out
ing or wash flannel may be used for
mop rags, but better still is the waste
or woven mop cloth which can be
bought at any furniture shop. Mop
ping floors is hard on cloths, and 1t
pays to buy something woven for the
purpose.
; Old silk skirts and waists can be
cut up and washed, for busters. Moth
ing except perhaps chamois is better
for piano case than soft old silk
For taking finger marks and spots Off
piano case use channels and cold
water. Polish dry with channels or old
silk. Old silk is also good for busting
ibric-a-brac.
Old black stockings may be made
into mitts with which to rub dust out
of silk skirts. Put mitt on either
hand and rub the silk on both right
and wrong side. These mitts do bet
ter work than any clothes brush
made. especially If mud or clay IL
thickly encrusted in the silk.
Do not employ old stockings for
holders to be used around the stove
unless you cover them with ticking
Better even than stockings to fill hold
ers is conton flannel or asbestos.
The best dish rags are made from
cheese cloth doubled and sewed with
seams turned inside. Next to cheese
cloth come old gauze shirts, sewed
double. Either of these fabrics is so
porous that grease and CRIME wash
out easily.
Boil your rags in a washing powder
and household ammonia. Do not let
them get hopelessly and irremediably
dirty. And have handy hooks and
racks on which to hang them where
air and sunlight will strike them
