Mississippi Soldiers to Be Drilled and
Prepared for Maneuvers.

Adjt.-Gen. Fridge, with the co-opera-
ton of Capt. Edgar Coffey, United States
army officer detailed to service as in
structor with the Mississippi National
Guard, are involved in considerable work
in advance of the general movement to
Chiekamauga, which is officially pro-
vided for, to take place during the com
ing summer. The entire command, con-
sisting of general staff, two regiments
of infantry, battery of artillery, troop
of cavalry and one company of the sig
nal corps, will be under marching orders
to proceed to Chickamauga and remain
there and participate in the joint ma
neuvers from July 5 to July IA, which
will be in lieu of a general state en-
eampment during 1910.
Prior to this movement the secretary
of war has ordered a school of instruc-
ton for the officers of the guard to be
held at Camp Williamson, below Vicks-
burg, from May 90 to 81, and has des-
ignated the army officers to have charge,
as well as outlined the courses OF in

BUT NOEL HAS HIS DOUBTS.
Will Refer Legality of Primary to At
torney-General.

Discussing the proposed early primary
asked for by Senator Percy and ex-Gov.
Vardaman, in order to u off before
the people the race for the senatorship,
which was the feature of the legislative
session this year, Gov. Noel said:
while | am in hearty accord with
Senator Percy in this matter, it is a
question that the people must pass upon,
and the state executive committee,
which represents the Democratic party
in the state, is the Sole judge of whether
or not it is best"
As to the legality of the proposition,
the governor will refer that phase of it
to the encouragement, and with an
opinion from that official he will prob
ably have something more to say
later on.
He entertains very positive doubts,
however, as do a number of other
lawyers who have given thought to the
subject.
