Vote Was Divided.

AS will be seen by these figures, the
vote formerly given to Mr.. Anderson
was pretty well divided between Cow
ernor Vardaman. Mr.. Alexander and
Mr.. Kyle; vardaman polling two votes
more than he had ever polled before,
and seven more than his average
vote of 20, and coming within twelve
votes of landing the prize. This was
very gratifying to his supporters, in
view OF the fact that there we're
several members absent, and yet Il.
was by no means disconcerting to the
opposition who had perhaps counted
noses and anticipated the result.
Each of the remaining seven candf-
dates is apparently serene and san
guine of success, while the supporters
of Governor Vardaman feel confident
of gaining the necessary twelve votes
in the event other Withdrawals occur.

Text Book Commission.

Mr.. Fatheree ocered a bill setting
aside $4,000 to defray the expenses of
the new textbook commission to be
appointed by the Governor within the
next sixty days. The Governor has
thus far taken no steps toward the
selection of the new commission, but
there seems to be strong sentiment
among the legislature against any
radical changes in the text books as
now being used in the public schools,
and one resolution is pending suggest
ing that as few changes as possible be
made.
