HAMILTON LEADS.
in RACE FOR MAYOR
But Crowder's Friends Are Claiming
Every Ward Except One-No Dis
turbance of Any Kind Has Marred
the Proceedings.
Daily News Special.

DAILY News Special
Jackson, Miss, July 2O.-Jackson's s
municipal primary election is on in full
blast, and the indications are that
the largest vote in the history of the
city will be polled before the closing
of the polls at o'clock.
The campaign has been the shortest
ever known, dating practically from
the holding of the special eledaon held
about six weeks ago y determine
whether the city would adopt the new
commission form of government rs
authorized by the last Legislature.
til that election was over with the
didates were unwilling to annod
themselves, as the carrying of
proposition would have changed
whole plan of city government
And while this has been the sh
est campaign ever had here, it
been at least one of the friendl
With the exception of few parti
friends of the candidates the ped
have refrained from any of the us
mud-slinging tactics so characters
of such elections. The cpndida
themselves have been very pleasant
| each other, and so far as known all
on good terms personally.
Naturally the chief interest in 1
election centers in the race for may
between Messrs. A. c. Crowder a
w. S. Hamilton. both of whom are
present doing aldermanic service frd
the First Ward, and each of whom
well fortified with personal and d
litical friends.
Mr.. Hamilton is regarded as the ad-
ministration candidate and is under
stood in a general way to be in SYM
pathy with the policies and deals of
the present mayor Hon Nam =
Wharton. while Mr.. Crowder has aaet
outspoken in his opposition to several
of these policies for several months
if not during the entire admn,st -
tion of the present board.
The polls opened at o'clock this
morning. but there was apparently
very little interest among the voters
until after the noon hour. The candi-
dates themselves and their closest
friends have been at the polling places
in the six wards throughout the day
closely watching the voting lists, and
this afternoon they are hustling out
and bringing in those who have for
gotten to vote.
Most of the vote so far polIed was
got in during the dinner hour. as the
average voter takes his voting time
out of his lunch allowance and goes
around to see how the vote is run
ming
1t is almost universally estimated at
this hour that the vote in the six wards
will approximate 2,O00 Mr.. Hamil-
tons friends claim that he will carry
every ward in the city The friends
of Mr. Crowder concede the Third
Ward TO his opponent, with a close
vote in the smaller wards south of
Capitol street. claiming all the north
ern portion of the city, including the
First Fourth and Fifth Wards, for
their candidate.
Up to this time there has been no
disturbance of any kind and while the
interest is lively, it Is nevertheless
sane and free from rowdyism.

Cold Weather Has Kept Buds
Back. Soon Trees Will
Be In Full Bloom.
DANGER FROM FROST IS OVER
Fruit Growers Were Nervous This
Week, But Critical Point
is Now Past.

The prospects are good for ne fruit
crop this year. The cold weather of the
past month has kept the buds ack and
they are now ready to burst out in full
bloom when warm weather comes. The
danger of frost is now practically over.
The thermometer registered close to
freezing point Tuesday night, but there
was no frost.
Grape vines, peach trees, cherries, ap-
Piles and pears we're never in batter con-
dition than at the present time. With
favorable conditions from now on there
will be lively times in Paw Paw this
fall. The failure of the fruit crop for
the past two years has caused noticea-
BILE depression in all lines of business,
and during the cold spell this week
when weather prophets predicted
freeze. there was some cause for worry
The fruit farmer has not been discour-
aged by the failures, but has always
looked on the bright side. A good crop
this year will make everything boom
