this would be done, and when the
caucus adjourned last Friday it was
pretty well understood that final elm
ination would take place tonight and
that nomination would be made. This
report seemed to be well founded and
had gained such general circulation
throughout the city and state that about
the largest crowd that has attended
the caucus sessions was on hand. AS
the balloting proceeded the excitement
was intense and hardly person dared
breathe. Vardaman had his large
quota of friends present, and Percy
had his and their following on hand.
When the result of the ballot was an
nounced pandemoneum broke loose
and scenes of widest and most turbu-
lent Joy we're enacted. In sharp con-
trast with this was the woe Of the de.
feated candidates friends, which was

first test vote Vardaman fought for an
open ballot, but the conservatives
maintained the precedent of many
years and the caucus preserved the
secret ballot. Then it was seen that
Vardaman was beaten if the conserv-
atives could hold the deadlock long
enough to tie up their followers. This
was the final result.
There were a number Of exciting in
cidenis connected with the contest,
the most interesting being the contro-
versy in the press between the gladi-
ators who went into the arena for the
final round. Vardaman wrote an edi-
torial in his paper charging that the
trusts and railroads had emmissaries
in Jackson to compass his defeat, and
in the interest of one Of the candidates.
Mr.. Percy replied to this with an arti-
Gle reviewing Vardaman's record, and
citing his personal criticisms of sever
al men distinguished in church and
state. This provoked a strong reply
from Vardaman.

not concealed, for they we're as conf
dent that Vardaman would be nomi-
mated as man ever was OF any event.
In few moments the scene was
transferred from the capitol to the
city and messages began flying all
over the state to friends of all the can
didates announcing the result. People
turned out of their homes and mingled
with the crowds on the street. entering
the jubilation that was spreading like
wildGre. 1t was plainly manifest that
the nomination Of Percy was popular
This ends one OF the longest and
most stubbornly contested elections
ever held before Mississippi caucus.
When Senator McLaurin died several
eminent Mississippians announced tor
his unexpired term, among them being
Percy, Vardaman, c. H. Alexander.
j. H. Kyle. Adam Byrd, Frank A.
Critz and lately the venerable Speaker
Street. One after another withdrew
from the contest, as fast as the con-
servatives were enabled to close in on
their following and keep it intact. All
Of the anti -Vardaman candidates were
filled with one idea, and that was to
defeat the ex. governor. They were
known to be willing to sacrifice their
personal fortunes for the most availa-
BILE man for the place, and it was final
ly decided that the great lawyer from
Greenville had the most effective fol-
lowing and was the most popular with
the conservatives so he was ultimately
selected to do battle alone with the
doughty Vardaman.
Night after night the caucus met
with a deadlock on and both sides
confident. From the beginning it was
noticed that Percy was inching up on
the other conservatives. and that Var
daman had rs votes that he could
count on. The conservatives gave him
81 as his full strength in the caucus.
and the several test votes that were
taken showed this to be 50. On the

brawny brown arms lift you into
easy balance on their big broad
palms. If you are a man, you
gasp; if you are a woman, you
start a shrek. But before the
scream can phrase itself, you are
shot through the air and are
standing on the main deck, where
a Chinese steward is waiting with
your handbag, and just as you are
wondering what it was all about,
the polite purser is saying-"your

stands inside of the walls of one

descend with perfect safety, and
almost no trouble at all, if you
don't mind scrambling little.
Then, in the center of that, the
pit of Kilauea, red hot and 1000
feet in diameter, three acres of
fire. And you may approach the
rim of that as close as your nerve
will carry you. If you wish you
may sit on the black rim and let
your feet hang over.
1t is forbidden to fall in.
Occasionally a portion of the
rim breaks off and falls into the
pit. This fact deters any one,
save the most hardened liars, from
sitting on the edge and dangling
their legs over the pit. And they
always go alone. Even liars do

seek adventures.

edges of the pit and float slug

geyser of furious incalescence that
engulfs the black masses as the
day swallows the night. Across
the black areas dart zigzag lines

that closes the half-blinded eyes.
The tone of the great crucible is
yellows and reds. Splendor, mag
nifcence, awe-inspiring.
Not terrifying. Close as you
may stand beside this lake of fire,
there is always a sense of safety.
1t is the brute that sinks away
in terror at the sight of fire. Fire
is the servant of man. 1t seems to
me he can never feel his mastery
over all the earth, and all that on
it and in it so triumphantly as
when he stands close to the seeth-
ing crater, unique and solitary
among all the volcanoes in the
world, and looks down at the sur-
face indication of unmeasured
heat and power and terrific force.
What are the hidden causes of it
all, lying underneath, he does not
know. There are hundred con-
lectures. There is no absolute
knowledge. He can toss peb-
bic into the lake at his feet. He
cannot probe into it's secret.
1t is good thing to remember,
man. Keep the fires of life glow
ing in your soul, deep hidden
sources of mighty power and live
forever. When you let them roar
and leap and rave in the surface
of your temper and your animal
passions, the fires cool and black

1t is not true that a man can
dispose of his money as he
chooses. The purposes for which
it can be used are strictly bound

he cannot buy with it; for ex-
ample, health, long life, wisdom,
cheerful spirit, a clear consci-
ence, peace of mind, a contented
