Neck and Neck In Mississippi.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 23.- More recent returns from the Mississippi Democratic guber- material primaries of yesterday make it more certain that only an official count can determine who will receive the nomination of the party for that office. Com plete returns from three fourthS Of the counties of the state at P: 30 this morning show k. F. Noel in the lead by majority of IF votes, again passing, in the ex- tremely close race, his opponent, Earl Brewer The total votes re ported are: Noel 50,621; Brewer 50, ,444. The vote is apparently even heavier than it was in the first primary.
 Neither side tonight is willing to concede point. Brewer claims his election by a majority of 1 ,OO0, and Noel claims a majority of ,, 900.

KIRBY
The Attorney General Will An. nounce His Candidacy for
 Governor in a Few Days.
HIS PLATFORM IS OUTLINED
And Embraces the Abolition of the Con- vict Lease System, Completion of State House Under Present Con-
 tract, and Other Matters.

Little Rock, Aug. 24.-Special -l am candidate to succeed Governor John $. Little.
 The above was the answer made by Attorney General Kirby, yesterday afternoon, to a question by the newspaper men, as to what he is going to do in the coming political campaign. Gen. Kirby has discussed the matter very carefully with his friends. for some time, but never has made any statement to the news paper men regarding his atten- tions, until Friday. It is his in tentiOn to make his formal an nOuncement as soon as it can be arranged. It may be expected at any time, and he will then enter at once into campaign for the governship. His platform, which is now practically ready for pub lication will not be given out un- til the day the formal announce. ment is made. No newspaper man has been allowed to see it, and all statements concerning it are purely speculative. But from public utterances in the past it Is considered safe to predict that the following blanks will be found in that document:
 Abolition of convict lease sys- tenn.
 Completion of statehouse un- der contract. These two matters. especially the former, lies close to the heart of the attorney gen eral. He ofteptimes, in private conversation, discusses what he considers to be the errors in the management of the State Prison. and is extremely bitter against what he believes has been the treatment of the convicts. He de- slres, apparently, above all others to abolish the system by which the conviCtS are leased to con tractors for work on railroads and elsewhere, ;lnd to work them on the public roads of the state, or elsewhere, in such manner as the state willat least secure some future benefit from their labors.
 His position on the StatehouSe has been clearly set forth in the opinion rendered the State Capi- tol Commission a week ago, in which he declared the building should be completed within the present contract. The people have ordered the building of the new statehouse, and it should be completed" is his statement.
 General Kirby's announcement will be made at very early date, and will be followed by others, it is stated. A number of lesser state officials are also waiting for gubernatorial announcements before getting into the fight.

FOR THE FARM, ORCHARD AND GARDEN
Matters or Importance 10 The Agcuurtt and HOtcunurst
Conclusion.

These concentrated soluble oil prep
arations are the most convenient to
use of any material yet devised for
the destruction of scale insects They
mix readily with cold water and are
not injurious to spray pumps. harness.
horses nor the face and hands of the
user. None of them, however, seem
to possess the fungicidal properties OF
the lime and sulphur sprays, but as
scale killers some, at least, are en-
tirely satisfactory and greatly simplify
the matter of combating scale insects
on fruit trees. The ease with which
these materials may be prepared for
use in small orchards and fruit gar
dens, as well as larger plantations,
offer good reason for the hope that
in the future more interest will be
taken in the matter of spraying by
those who own scale infested trees.

ARE FIXING THE BLAME
Continued from page -

s---'-zgS--7-7ss
Mr.. Shipley will probably be sum-
moned by the coroner's inquest.
Engineer Magner was closely ques-
toned by Baltimore G. Ohio officials
when he pulled into Camden station
on the engine of the express. Mr.. Mag
ner stated that he had plainly seen a
white signal at the block signal sta
! ton and had proceeded as usual,
thinking there was no danger. He re-
turned to Washington late in the aft
ernoon.
In the official statement of the wreck
made by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Co, the efficiency of the signal
service was referred to as follows:
While the operating officials at
once started a rigid investigation. the
cause of the accident has not yet been
determined.
1T is reported that Engineer Mag
ner, OF the express claims that he got
a white signal at Harwood, nearly a
mile west of Hanover. and which
would mean that the two blocks ahead
or the distance between that signal
and the second one east of it, was
clear of any other train On this
branch, as we'll as on the Philadelphia
iivisfon and Metropolitan Branch, the
railroad has installed general cleo
trio automatic signals. These signals
are placed at distances of about 5000
feet apart, or little more than one
mile, and show either white, green
or red White indicates clear track
green signals the engineer to proceed
with caution and red is warning to
stop and indicates that there is a
train within the next block This sig
nal system is regarded as the best in
the country and is almost perfect in
its operation. During the month of
October the record of this signal for
efficiency was 1896 per cent. perfect.
During the last eight months there has
only been one failure where a white
light was shown and thus increasing
the danger of accident. In the other
failures either green or red was
shown"

there was practically no difference be-

noted that there was considerable diff
