The Bohemian had an article enti-

Marshall p. Wilder, the we'll known
humorist, cites this story as an illus

story with joke In 1t about Labou-
chere, the genial editor of London
Truth. When he was standing for
the borough Of Northampton for the
English parliament a little girl came
up to her father and said: Papa. who
made Mr.. Labouchere?' why, Proyi-

Hurry.


To our own age belongs the credit of
having raised hurry from the degraded
position Of disease to that Of a com.
mercial process. Formerly hurry sim.
ply brought people to an early grave
with nothing to show for it, whereas
now 1t Is become the means OF trans
forming peace Of mind, which Is g
soiecism, to say the best Of it, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to be
a great fact in life. Even the fashions
take account of 1t, until women are
found doing up their hair In such a
way that they may go the speed limit
without fear of its coming down. And
the best of hurry is that it is its own
sufficient justification. Nobody ex-
poets hurry to have any particular
reason behind it any more.-Life.

The monthly report of the agri~

condition of the cotton crop on July

the condition ON that date as $50.
This shows an improvement Of three
per cent. over the same on June 25tk.
1907, when the condition was 72.0.
Although there has been an improve
ment over last month, the condition
is still low as compared with former
years. the report issued on July 25,
1906. having shown a condition of
S2.9, with ten year average of So. 6
for that date.
In Mississippi the condition is sew
enteen per cent. lower than the same
date last year, the present condition
being Z 1 against Ss on July 25, 1906,
with ten year average of 50. From
the best information obtainabie crops
in the territory contiguous to Colum-
bus are better than in other portions
of the State. In many instances a
second planting was necessary, but
the weather during the past few
weeks has been decidedly favorable,
and cotton has made good progress.
The report had a buil1ish effect
on the market, which advanced thirty
points within a short time after the
estimate was made public. The adj

SENATORIAL RACE
STILL In DOUBT

ONLY OFFICIAL COUNT

Gubernatorial Race is Also in Grave
Doubt-Scott. Brewer and Noel
Are Running Neck and
Neck in the Race.

Although two days have elapsed
since the Democratic primary, both
the senatorial and gubernatoriaI races
are still in doubt, and it will require
an official count of the ballots to
ascertain the outcome in the senate
rial and gubernatorial contests. The
Memphis papers of Friday stated that
Hon. John Sharp Williams had prob
ably been nominated as United States
senator, and that Scott and Noel were
leading in the gubernatorial race.
This announcement, however, was
predicated upon on returns which
We're received up to midnight Thurs
day night, and which came from the
cities and towns. Returns from the
rural districts, which began to come
in Friday, showed substantial gains
for Vardaman and Brewer, and it
was conceded yesterday that nothing
but the official count could determine
the outcome in either race. Both
Vardaman and Williams claim the
senatorial nomination, while Scott,
Brewer and Noel all claim the lead
in the gubernatorial race.
In the race for minor State Offices
Lowndes county had two men in the
field, Mr., H. F. Simrall, who was a
candidate for State insurance COM
missioner, and Mr.. ]. T. Senter, who
ran for railroad commissioner. In
the former race Mr.. T. NJ. Henry led
the ticket, and either Mr.. Simrall
or Mr. Miller will enter the second
race with Mr. Henry. In the fight
