VARDAMAN MAN WINS In SIXTH DISTRICT.

Bay ST. Louis, Miss. august 23.-
Almost complete returns from yester-
days primary give B. P. Harrison, Of
Gulfport, a plurality of about 300 votes
over his nearest opponent, J. E. Tally,
of Hattiesburg, for Congress from the
Sixth Mississippi District. F. H. Lewis,
of PascagouIa, is only few votes be-
hind Tally. 1t is believed, however,
the second race will lie between Harri-
son and Tally.
Harrison, the leading candidate in
the Sixth District, is staunch sup
porter of Vardaman. Mr.. Tally, we
learn, is also Vardaman man, while
Mr.. Lewis, the tail-ender, is alleged to
be a Percyite, and had the support of
the corporations and trusts, = From
Vicksburg Post.
Thus, according to the Post, the vic
tory isa clear-cut one formal. .Vardaman.
Both Harrison and Tally are friendly to
the major, and whatever result the sec
ond primary may have, the ultimate
victory will be the same.

HARRISON CLUBS LETTER TO THE VOTERS.
Campaign Not One of Personalities. = Much
Intelligent Interest in the Campaign.

Gulfport, Miss, Aug. 25, 1910.
To the voters of the Sixth Congressional
District:
The results of the first congressional
primary are very gratifying to Mr.. Har-
rlson, who appreciates deeply the loyal
and enthusiastic support of his well
wishers in every part of the district.
The recent primary shows the large
vote ever polled in a congressional race
in this district, demonstrating that the
people over the whole district are keenly
aroused and deeply interested in the
questions involving the welfare Of this
section of our State.
Mr.. Harrison S overwhelming plurality
in the primary can only be cons trued as
a great tribute to the personal worth of
this brilliant young candidate and a
most favorable endorsement of the views
he has so eloquently presented during
the canvass.
Mr.. Harrison has not made this cam
paign one of personalities. He deeply
deplores whatever feeling may have
crept into the campaign and sincerely
desires that the issues as presented by
Mr.. Tally and himself will be the sole
guide for voting in the second primary
| The large vote for Mr.. Harrison from
all parts of the district demon strates be-
| yond the shadow of doubt that the
| people of the sixth congressional dis
trict will not stand for the stirring up
of sectional feeling and sectional strife.
| The political and industrial welfare of
the district demands candidate pledged
to work untiringly for the welfare of
the whole district and no one part of it.
This is one of the cardinal principles OF
Mr.. Harrison's campaign, and upon this
ground we frankly appeal to the voters
of the district to rally to Mr.. Harrison s
support in the second primary.
We hope that the intelligent interest
manifested in the campaign thus fal
will continue to increase, and that every
| voter will let nothing stand in the way
of registering his vote in the second
primary.
! Respectfully,
HARRISON CLUB OF GULFPORT

Gulfp0rt Record:

Gulfport Record:
The result Of Mondays Democratic
primary election continues the chic +
subject of conversation on the stree IS
and in the offices about the city. Every
where genuine satisfaction is expressed
among Mr.. Harri8on's friends at the
splendid run made by him in the lat te
election.
From all returns in hand the result
as given in Tuesday 'sissue is unchang ed
in the main, save to serve to swell the
plurality of Gulfport's favorite son.
The second primary, which will take
place on Monday, September IL, viii
be between Messrs. Harrison and Tally,
and, while there is no likelihood Of a
walkover for the Harrison county man,
there is every reason to believe that he
will be the choice OF the people Of this
district by a handsome majority over
his remaining opponent.
From every section OF the district the
news comes to the Harrison headquar-
ters in this city that his friends are act
lively at work in his behalf and have
gone into the second primary with a
determination to press their candidates
claims to the last ditch. Many express
sions from those who opposed his can
didacy in the first primary are to the
effect that he will receive their unstinted
aid and support in this race.
Mr.. Harrison is in the fight to a fin
ish, and is not going to sit down and
wait for things to come to him. He is
on the go, even at this time, and may
be depended on to keep up the battle
until the very day of election. 1t is
generally conceded among the ardent
friends of the Hon. Frank H. Lewis
that Mr.. Harrison will now come in for
a major portion of his vote, which in It
self would mean the swinging OF enough
votes to insure his nomination by a
/ handsome majority.

MISSISSIPPI FISHERMEN FORGOT TO GET
Lieease, and, as result, They Gould Not
Draw Their Senes in Louisiana Water.

| Biloxi, August 25.-Some Of the fish
+ ermen engaged in shrimping for local
i canning factories were sent back from
/ louisiana waters during the last few
/ days because of,the fact that they had
failed to procure licenses for their
seines, and the matter is causing notice
able comment among shrimp catchers,
the talk being that the licenses should
have been obtained at the outset OF the
season.
In Louisiana the license on a shrimp
seine for a resident amounts to $40; for
a nop-resident, $50. 1t will be seen,
then, that Mississippi fishermen operat-
ing in Louisiana waters must produce
the wherewithal to catch shrimp.
SIT happened to those who had not
paid their licenses" said the manager
of one of the shrimp canning concerns
yesterday. "None of my boats were
sent back, because 1 planked down the
money. They ought to have known
better, for they know the law, and
should have secured licenses at the
opening of the shrimp season. They
thought they could get off without
paying for licenses, suppose. "
Shrimp are being brought in by good
schooner loads, and the crustaceans are
large and fine. The fact is that the
shrimp season is in full swing.
One OF BiIoxi's foremost industries is
the shrimp business, and with the com
ing of each season the industry grows
to larger proportions, the season for
shrimp coming twice year, in spring
and fall, each lasting from four to eight
weeks. The shrimp are caught at Point
aux Chenes and other places along the
Gull coast, and sometimes as many as
thirty Or forty barrels are secured in
one set Of nets.
There are about 500 men engaged in
the business Of catching shrimp for the
canneries in this city, and about 1875
schoouers are used in the business.
of persons are engaged in the
picking and the canning of shrimp at
the factories in this city, and the pick
ers are principally women and children
the shrimp business gives
to thousands of persons at
least four to five weeks a season.
The prices paid for shrimp vary, ac-
cording to the stage of the season, the
supply of the shrimp, and So on, the
fishermen, pickers and Gamers getting
good earnings. Some of the fishermen
share as much as $40 to $50 week,
while others make $40 to S25 in the same
length of time.
The shrimp season has caused a no.
ticeable stir in the business of the city
within the last few days. 1t is esti-
mated that, at the present rate, over
$4,000 week is paid out to fishermen,
pickers, Gamers and others engaged in
the business. Each shrimp season sends
a wave OF prosperity to Biloxi.

Gulfport, August %.
B. P. Harrison will get the Lewis vote
in Jackson county. That the Lewis vote
in the PascagouIa country is worth go
ing after is evidenced by the fact that
both of the candidates for Congress who
are to try conclusions in the second pri-
mary were at Pascagoula yesterday, and
| both were out after the voters. Mr.
Tally arrived in Pascagoula two hours
| before Mr. Harrison, but he also left
two hours before Mr.. Harrison started,
indicating that he found his efforts of
little avail after Mr.. Harrison appeared
on the scene.
Mr.. Harrison was accompanied to
Pascagoula by J. L. Taylor, of this city.
Mr.. Taylor Immediately started active
work among the voters and leading men
of the town, and while Mr.. Harrison
was on a trip to Moss Point Harrison
club was organized.
Speaking of the manner in which the
Lewis supporters in Pascagoula had
come oyer to the Harrison ranks, Mr..
Taylor said: sit was just like meeting
body of men coming across the street.
was given the assurance yesterday
that Mr.. Harrison would get at least 80
per cent of the Lewis vote in Jackson
county, which means that the county
will be carried by him almost sofdly."
Mr.. Taylor said that Biloxi would also
throw practically all of the Lewis vote
to Harrison. The district attorney car
ried this county by an immense majority
in the first primary, but it seems that in
the contest of September L he wNl get
the vote almost to man.
Today Mr.. Harrison goes to Me- Neil,
in Pearl River county, point on the
New Orleans and Northeastern Rail
road, to which an excursion was run to-
day, and where large gathering is ex-
pected.
In GulfpoIt Mr.. Harrison's friends,
whenever they are questioned about his
candidacy, express the utmost conf
dence in the result. In fact, his success
is considered so near to certainty that
the subject has not provoked a great |
deal of discussion since the complete |
returns have been received. Stacks of |
letters and kilograms rendering support |
continue to be received at the Harrison |
headquarters, where a force of several |
clerks and stenographers is employed.
Being assured, as he now is, of receiv-
ing nearly all of Lewis $40 votes in |
Harrison county and his~819 votes in
Jackson county, Mr.. Harrison has little |
to fear as to the outcome in the secand |
contest. Lewis also received 260 votes |
in Hancock county, almost every one of
which Harrison can count on getting.
There is still some talk heard to the |
effect that Tally will withdraw from the |
race, but this is not authentic No such |
advices have been received at the Har-
rison headquarters, nor are the Harrison |
campaign managers counting on any
such ending of the present contest.
