MAHON IN THE SECOND
PRIMARY.
No doubt our readers are all
familiar with the returns of the
election last Thursday. Marshall
County's candidate stood second
in the race and will be in the run
off on the 10th day of September.
In addition % the handsome vote
received in this county Mr.. Ma
hon was strongly supported else
where. \ conservative estimate
shows that nearly 5000 voters OF
the district lid not exercise their
rights of suffrage last Thursday.
There are many of these electors
who will vote for Mr.. Mahon and
he is daily receiving assurances
that they will be at the polls next
time.
Enough people have expressed
confidence in him to put him in
the second primary. He has
made the race so far and none
have questioned the fact that he
is worthy of your confidence.
Mr.. Mahon is young, active
and aggressive and in position to
help the people of the district.
We believe that a majority of the
voters of the district see the mat
ter as We do. and that when the
returns come in on the 10Th OF
next month they will show that
MahOn is the choice of the people
for Congress-Holly Springs Re-

REVISING THE TARIFF
WORK OF PREPARING BILL IS
 HEsUMED.
Hundreds eg Letters and Briefs Are Beang Received Daily aad
 Many suggestionR Of-
 fered slae Committee.

Washington. D. C.. Dec. 2s-The work of preparing the revised tariR bill was resumed today by the sub committee of the House Ways and Means Committee Two meetings were held today and there is. every likeli- hood that the tariR framing committee which consists of the Republiean mem- bers Of tht full committee. will con tinue to hold daily meetings until the time comes to report the bill to Con- eress at the special session in March.
 Hundreds of letters and briefs are be- ing received by the committee daily and many suggestions offered and changes re0uIred are varied. Judge H. E. Gary has returned the printed copy of his +estimony with the corrections he dee aided made in the final report of the bearinRs. He does not change the sub stance of his testimony but has made several corrections in the figures which he gave while on the stand before the committee.
 The tarifH framers are giving much consideration to the maximum and min 1nnum duty problem in connection with e inc new tarif. Although the United states was the first to apply this meth od of securing favorable trade reia- tions with other countries. it has never anDlfed the principle to more than a
 
 few articles, while several foreign countries have adopted the system to cover everything.
 If a maximum and minimum tarifr becomes a law, it will be possible for the President to extend the benefit of the minimum tariff to those countries which give to his country the benefit Of their differential rates of duty.
 The United States has trade treaties with France, Germany. Italy, Portugal. Spain and Switzerland, granting re- duction in the duties on certain articles only and while 1t is very probable that these reciprocity treaties will be pro- vided for in the tariff bill now being prepared. 1t Is quite likely that these countries will endeavor to get the bene- fit of all minimum rates from the Unit ed States In exchange for similar con- sessions.
 It is said that the differential will be about twenty per cent.
