Mississippi Congressional Campaign
is Expected to Open in Earnest
Within Next Few Days.
Special to The NeUs.

Special to The NeUs.
Jackson, Miss, June 27.--All mem.
bers of the Mississippi delegation in
congress have returned home, and the
congressional campaign will open in
full blast this week, accompanied by
some heavy artillery in the senatorial
contest.
Members of the state delegation de-
parted from the national capital as
quickly as possible after final adjourn
ment, and had hardly crossed the
state border until they commenced
looking after their political fences.
Contests are on in five of the eight
districts. Messrs. Gambler of the first,
Humphries of the third, and Collier of
the eighth, are the only members who
will not have to fight for their seats.
In the sixth district, however, Con-
gressman Bowers has announced his
voluntary retirement, and FOUR candi-
dates, Messrs. F. H. Lewis, B. P. Har-
rison, J. R. Tally and E. NJ. Barber
have engaged in vigorous campaign
for several weeks.
While it is yet too early in the
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-06-27

campaign to make positive forecasts
indications are that majority OF the
present delegation will be returned tc
congress by good majorities. The
veterans have succeeded in vanquish
ing apparently formidable opposition
before. and feel confident Of their
ability to do so again, despite the fact
that they have only few weeks in
which to renew acquaintance with
their constituents.
Thus far none of the congressional
district executive committees have
/ been called to hold sessions to ar
range for the primaries, but the meet
ings will probably be called during
the present week.
In justice to the present incumbent
who have been detained in Washing
ton by the important work of con-
gress it has been suggested that the
most remote dates possible be select
ed, and this will doubtless be done.
The primary election law provides
that congressional primary shall
not be held earlier than August goth,
nor later than September 1st, and
dates in the same week in which oc-
ours the maximum will probably be
selected. The first OF September this
year comes on Thursday.
In the second district Congressman
Thomas Spight has three active op-
ponents. land 1t is believed that
second primary will be necessary.
Mr.. Spight vanquished four oppo-
nents in the election two years ago.
In the fourth district Congressman
T. U. Sisson is opposed by Messrs. o.
F. Bledsoe and F. H. Harper. In the
fifth Congressman Byrd is opposed
by Hon. S. A. Witherspoon. In the
seventh Hon. w. A. Dickson is op-
posed by Hon. Thos. Shelton. There
are no contests in the other candi-
dates, save the sixth, where four men
are after the seat of Bowers.

The Diplomat and the Cal.

In the biography of Oscar Browning
II is related that Lord Odo Russell
British papal ambassador in 1s4s. told
him of the most delicate affair he had
ever adjusted. The exiled queen of
Naples, an excellent pistol shot lived
near Cardinal Antonelli's mother the
houses standing back TO back. On the
top Of the boundary wall between the
gardens used to parade a magnificent
Persian cat, the property of the cardi-
nails mother.
The queen. who rose very early
saw the cat one morning, and the
temptation was too strong for her She
fired, and it fell. The excitement was
tremendous, the chanceries of the
Holy City were overwhelmed with cor
respondence, but the affair was at
last composed by the efforts of Odo
Russell, the universal peacernaker
He told me that up to that time the
two most difficult affairs which had
fallen to his lot TO arrange were the
embodiment Of General Fox (wbo had
been challenged by the French com
mandant) and the murder of Cardi-
nal Antonelli's mothers cat"

FACING THE CUSTOM HOUSE
American Women, According to
Magazine Writer, Find the Customs
Law Peculiarly Oppressive.

We American women find the Gus
toms law peculiarly oppressive be-
cause it is almost the only law with
which most of us ever come into con-
tact, says a writer in the Century.
We go about our task at home, live
out our days and die, without a
thought of legal obligations. We are
proud of our freedom, too, when we
travel, glorying in it. Boosting of per
sonal liberty as the very breath of
our national existence, demanding,
because of it, the overthrow of so
many social traditions abroad that
our less-favored sisters on the other
side regard us with awe and envy.
Then we start for home One day

ment's printed form of declaration,

the law. Some of us cannot under
stand 1t. We tremble; our hearts
beat. We have consultations with
friends and strangers Blood-curdling
stories are told. We can think OF
nothing else, talk of nothing else.
Where have we packed our new
things, where our old? Will they dig
out everything? VIII they believe
us? Those little presents we have
brought mare they presents until
we have declared them? And so on,
and so on, until our last days become
nightmare compared with which
seasickness is a paradise Neither 10
there any man to protect us with any
of those liberal interpretations"
which stand most of us in stead. We
must go through the ordeal as we go
through death-alone!

A Trial bv Rice

They have peculiar methods of try
ing suspects in Bengal. One of
these is called trial by rice" Every
person suspected was ordered to be
present. and all turned up. First the
people were made to sit in a semiclrcle
and a plate" Ia square of plantain
leaf was set before each. Then a
priest walked up and down chanting
and scattering flowers. The ceremony
over one of the clerks went to each
man and gave him raw rice and told
him to chew it to a pulp. After about
ten minutes they were told to stop
and eject 1t into the plantain leaf.
All did so easily with the exception of
three men. One Of these three prompt
ly commenced to cry and begged for
mercy, confessing everything and say
ing that another of the three was the
chief instigator. 1t Is a curious fact
that fear, arising from an eyH con-
science prevents saliva coming to the
mouth, with the result described.

that lightning will not kill anyone
who is asleep.
The folk lore of lightning is ex-

one school, the splinters of a tree

specific for the toothache. But the
most pleasing superstition is that
which used to be cherished by the
