A number Of Speaker Byrd's friends
approached him yesterday concerning
the current report that he would be
candidate for Attorney General before

Speaker did not seem to object to the
linking Of his name with the office,

House he had no purpose of aspiring
to any position.
Mr.. Byrd demonstrated two things
In the management OF his bill on the
floor. One was that he is a man Of
strong influence and personality, and
the other that he is, a parliamentary

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

This should be stuffed into all cracks around the doors and windows and in the keyholes.
 Cover a register or fireplace with un- bleaehed muslin tackled or pasted tight over the opening, to prevent the fumes from escaping. An old-fashioned blower can be used in the fireplace if the edges are stuffed tight
 Open bureau drawers and closets and open and hang up bedding and any un- derclothing that may have been in the room.
 Buy rolled sulphur and break it into small pieces. Every 800 cubic feet of air space will take about a pound and three quarters of sulphur Three pounds to room ten feet square will answer.
 If the sulphur is saturated with alcohol it will burn better It is well to investi- gate at the end of half hour or the sulphur may not have ignited. Do not open the room for 24 hours.
 If you cannot get at the windows from the outside, cover the mouth and nose with a damp cloth until the window is reached, and have a strong draught blow ing from the hall.
 Let the room air for a day before using again, and wash off the woodwork and floor with a solution of carbolic acid and water in the proportion of a tablespoonful of the acid to gallon of hot water
 For scarlet fever or diphtheria bedding should be burned or sent to be recovered. All toys that cannot be washed should be burned, and books as well. Scarlet fever has been taken from books after 20 years. Fresh paper should be put on the walls.

Dressing to Fit the Occasion.

What shall I wear?" is the feminine question eternal What shall I wear to the wedding? A reception? Shopping? :? Travelling? These and a thousand and one other things perplex a woman day in and day out.
 The best advice to the best groomed women has always been. appropriate ness;" it matters not where or when.
 The perfectly gowned woman is the one whom you meet who always looks at traetive and well dressed, but for the life of you you couldn't say when you left her what she had on. You only know that she looked and was well dressed.
 1 quote a writer on this subject who casions. She says:
 '"rhe question of dress at weddings, like everything else, depends upon the kind of wedding one is to attend, and is solved by the common sense of the wearer. If the wedding is informal and quiet the dress should be simple, if elegant. A pretty summer afternoon gown would an- swer admirably. If it be a very elaborate affair the dress naturally corresponds with the occasion. Something in silk, satin or silk voile would be required, and the latest cut of empire with low neck and long sleeves. The fitting of these gowns requires the artistic eye of a proficient modste, so that amateur efforts are yain Make no such mistake as to attempt it.
 'The woman who receives at home may wear dainty linen gown or linen skirt of blue. pink, lavender, cream or green. They come in all delicate shades and are very effective with the white shirtwaists and jumper to match the skirt. This is not too dressy for the woman in moder- ate circumstances and is by all means suitable White lingerie gowns serve for indoor winter occasions, and the woman who receives her friends in these light, airy summer creations is becomngly at tired.
 ''rhe reception gown, if low al the neck. may be made of the silk muslins, liberty silk, or net over soft silk of a delicate tint, which lends an iridescence. Some of the prettiest reception gowns are made of two shades of chiffon for the lining, with a net fall over all.''
 Travelling outfits should be modest genteel. and always quite in color, taste and style. Those for shopping the same way. Nothing is so outre as a flashy, loud frock in the morning in the shops. The tailor made gown, with a becoming hat, dark gloves and good sensible low heeled shoes, marks the woman of ele- gance and good-breeding.

NEGRO NIGHT RIDERS.
Six Are Arrested on Charge of Burning
 Gins.

New Orleans. October g.-News reached here today of the arrest at Myersville, Miss, of six negroes, charged with post ing night-riding warnings against cotton ginning, Posses are searching for two others wanted on the same charge. The alleged confession of one of these negroes, Walter Robinson, declares that negro or ganizations have been formed for night riding purposes in both Mississippi and Louisiana. Robinson said he had knowl- edge that the scope of such organiza- tions is extensive in this state. He said a negro from Louisiana, who claimed to have organized night riders in that state had formed the Myersville band.
 On October 2 a ginnery was burned at Shipland, Miss supposedly by night riders, and the authorities at Myersvile are now investigating to ascertain wheth- CT negroes were responsible. The ar rest of the six negroes was made through information supplied by J. T. Heath gi1ner, who recognized the handwriting of former negro employe in a warn ing which he had received.

Right Way to Fumigate.

When disease and Illness have over taken a household there is nothing of greater importance than the proper fumi- gation of the premises. Especially in scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever and other dangerous diseases.
 Unless done by the board of health or professionals, a few words of advice to those who will do their own Immigration will not be amiss.
 First of all the room should be air tight. This does not mean doors and windows closed, but practically hermeti- caly sealed.
 If possible, shut the windows so that they can be opened from the outside. It makes it easier on the one who must open the room after Immigration.
 Have on hand plenty of cotton batting cut into strips three or four inches wide.
