GARNET BACK IN FAVOR.
inexpensive Stone Now Worn In Mum
erous Designs.

The garnet is the jewel Of con-
stancY and fidelity. 1t is the birth
stone of January, but to judge from
the new and lavish displays of this
stone at the jewellers its use is by no
means to be restricted to the January
girl.
It's warm red hue harmonlzes wcll
with the rich dark reds to be worn
this winter, and it is probable that 1t
will enjoy a return to high favor.
It is not an expensive jewel. A
bracelet of gold plate, solidly incrust-
ed with garnets in square settings,
costs less than SO, but since mex
pensive jewelry is so much worn this
piece is not at all bizarre nor in bad
taste.
Brooches of garnets take the old
fashioned round form, although some
show new bird, butterfly and floral
designs. Garnet dog collars are eX-
tremely attractive, and coiffure combs
and pins thickly incrusted with these
stones are very beautiful.

The experience of the recent
past should make every Demo-
crat wary; especially should the
farmer and the laborer be awake.
The hope of the political trick
ster lies in a convention; the
salvation of the people is IN a
primary.
No man who.is afraid to trust
his political ambition to the direct
vote of the people Of his party is
worthy of their trust.
Certain wouldbe politicians
now boast of their ability to force
a convention on our people for
the nomination of district judges.
The State Committee has pro.
vided for the election of senators
and all state officials by primary,
and the citizens of our counties
and Judicial districts should make
their demand for district and
county nominations 80 emphati-
cally, that no man dare oppose it
When you find the source of
opposition to primaries, you will
find the political machines, rail-

and if our people desire TO pro-

ination and tyranny of monopo-
hstic sway, they must do it by
the selection of officials in SYM
pathy with the peoples interests,
and the only place to do that is
in a primary where the vote
of the poor man is equal to
that of the railroad president.
But | am not writing to convince
you of the necessity of primaries,
but that you may net sit still and

My advice is that every town

to at once provide for a primary
to be held at the same time the

don't let it rest until you force
what you want.

The Election Results

Whatever be the outcome
OF today's election, we think
we may rest easy, as good
men-men above the aver
age party nominees,-were
on both tickets. While we
prefer to see the Democrats
win, we do not set partizan-
ry up as the biggest thing
in life, and the Democrat eX-
poets to keep plugging away
for the good OF the city and
it's own sweet self regardless
of whether the city is Demo
cratic or Republican. We
have told nearly all the boys
on our ticket that we expect
to ride their necks some
should they dowrongand to
applaud well doing, in case
they are elected. We did not
90 into the matter with the
Republican nominees, be
cause we would express our
selves anyhow.
SO whether it is Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Hehey, or Mr.. Stelz-
ner and Mr.. Cooley, we are
resting easy. All four OF
these gentlemen are friends
OF the Democrat. The city
will do well in the hands OF
either party.
The Democrat feels con
gratuIatory ON account OF
the city campaign in this re-
spect,-that it has been tree
from mudslinging to an un-
usual degree. One thing
that we personally very
much regret is that Mr.. Far
rington's article published
in the Democrat compelled
us to take a fall out of Ross
Hume editorially. Editors
never like to do these things,
and we have always believed
that Mr.. Hume, ii elected,
will serve the city to the best
of his ability. Neither Nr.
Miller nor any other, can do
more than this.
Taking it all in all, the
Democrat is pr, pared to ac-
cept the outcome without
heart burnings, and is dis
posed to be of all possible
assistance to the new city
officials. Also We incline to
be thankful that we can quit
manufacturing prediction
puffs and get down to Jour
nalism again. The result,
be it Democratic, Republican
or mixed, is perfectly salts
factory to us, and the pur-
pose of our business-to try
TO be OF use to the city-is
not changed thereby one

pany presented the famous four-act
drama, "a Messenger Boy" For a

in good numbers when a show of

and those who'attended were more
than repaid for the time and money
spent. Mr.. Sweet, in the character
Of Grit. the newsboy, was favorite
with the audience from the start,
and he was we'll supported by an ex-
cellent cast. Each member of the
company showed excellent talent in
the several parts and from start to

Late Yesterday afternoon, shortly
after the Whistles OF the large Hat
tiesburg mills had given the city
workmen the signal to cease their
labors for the week, two handsome
policement were seen accompanying
a white man to the police station.
This. Of course, is nothing out Of
the ordinary on Saturday, especially
with those WOO look to the bottle for
the finishing touches to the weeks
labor.
The man who was being tenderly
cared for by the polite, but firm Off
GERS, had taken on just a little more
than his brain could stand for. He
had roamed down by the creekside,
evidently to quench unlimited thirst,
