OFFICIAL RETURNS
OF STATE ELECTION
Shows Evidence of One of the Hard
est Fought Battles Exer Held in
the Commonwealth of Mississippi


the Commonwealth of Mississippi
The state executive committee Ill
canvassing the vote for governor on
the face of the returns. accepting the
reports as sent in by the county exc
cutive committees, reported as fol-
lows;

Brewer, 2S,III.
Scott, 26,o4I.
Sisson, 2o5o7.
Truly, 1867
Thomas, 1904.
Disparity in Vote
It is apparent from these figures
that Mr.. Noel led Mr. Brewer by a
plurality Of 1,26o, and Mr. Scott
lacked I.Iz1 votes of the number ne
cessary to get into the second pri-
mary.
A singular feature Of the returns IS
the disparity between the votes for
senator and governor. Mr.. Williams
received 5o4o6 and Governor Varda-
man 58.848, a total of 1854. 4 re-
cap;tulation of the vote for governor
shows a total of T22,o22. the ques-
ton presenting itself for answer IS,
what became Of the 3,6z8 votes shown
by a subtraction OF 1884 from I22.-
o2a? It is rather hard to believe that
SOB persons would neglect to vote
on the senatorship contest when it
was the center OF interest III the cam
paign.
The members Of the executive com
nittee do not attempt to explain this
discrepancy They accepted the re-
turns at face value and totalled the
vote in strict accordance herewith.
Both Of the senatorial candidates
were satisfied with the accuracy Of
the count.
This discrepancy might furnish the
reason why there was no contest and
why no demand was made TO GO be-
hind the returns. For other state OF

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The Old Time Notion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.

Are Made In Heaven.
The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar in America, where 1t is held to be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod
est for girls to manifest any interest
in the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees of the gods and
that in due season husbands will be
provided like mamma in the wilderness
for sustenauce of the faithful. Unfor-
tunateiy this miracle does not always
come Off for every woman. The supply
of mamma gives out. There are not
enough husbands to go around, and
these are unevenly divided. Some wo-
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share in the dispen-
satlon was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves. as old
fashioned Methodists used to say, In
an attitude to receive the blessing
