DO NOT FEAR THE COMET
Chicago Astronomers Expect But Lit.
tie Effect.

Chicago.-Astronomers of Chicago
and vicinity, who have lost much sleep
in studying Halleys' comet since it's
appearance this year, do not expect it's
influence will in any way be made
manifest on this earth. 1t is composed
of gasses too light and is too far away
to make its presence felt.
"rhere can be but little doubt that
the tail of the celestial visitor, being
some five million miles wide, will
sweep over the earth, but we will not
even feel it, said DR.. D. J. McHugh,
astronomer at Depauw University.
None of the gases OF the comet will
come closer than say, forty-five miles
Of the earths surface. At that distance
the earths' atmosphere is much more
dense than the tail of the comet. Eric.
tion with the atmosphere would destroy
it at that altitude. AS for cyanogen
gas, that is mostly around the head OF
the comet, as the suns repulsion and
the course of the heavenly traveller
may have forced some of it into the
tail"

on which he requires an advance pay
ment of $40 or more, guaranteeing q
return of the deposit if the books are
unsatisfactory.
That is the last the victims hear Of

Fight on Cattle Tick.

At meeting of the live stock board
regulations were adopted providing
that no cattle shall move or be allowed
to move from the quarantined area, or
any part of the state, into Tunica,
Tate or DeSoto counties, which have
been proclaimed as free, nor shall any
cattle from such quarantined area be
moved to any county in which the
work of eradication is being conducted.
The regulations are very full and
complete, embracing some dozen or
more sections, and will be vigorously
enforced, especially in these counties
in which operations are to be con-
Quoted.
The counties selected in which the
work of eradication is to be actively
carried on are grouped as follows:
Claiborne, Adams, Jefferson, Coahoma,
Benton, Pamela, Marshall, Warren,
Holmes, Kinds, Monroe, Lowndes,
Noxubee, Clay, Chickasaw.

Plan Normal College.

The first practical step toward the
attainment of the long cherished plan
for a Mississippi normal college was
taken when the board OF trustees ap
pointed by the governor under the act
of the legislature providing for that
Institution met and effected working
organization by selecting Prof. T, p.
Scott of Brookhaven as permanent
secretary. The board decided to call
for proposals from the towns and coun-
ties, or both, which are anxious to
compete for the location of the college.
1t was decided to specify in the ofn-
clal call that no proposal from COM
munity will be considered that is not
accompanied by cash bid of $1CA 900
or an equivalent in bonds, together
with a deed to at least Sky acres of
ground. The time set for the receiv.
ing of such proposals is September /
next.

THERE WILL BE NO PRIMARY.
First Ordered Senatorial Primary Then
Flopped Over.

After dallying throughout practical
ly the entire day over the question
whether or not they should order
special primary election to be held
this year in order to settle the senate
rial question, as between Messrs. Var
daman and Percy, and after first adopt
ing resolution making provision for
such a primary, the state executive
committee Saturday reversed its posi-
tion and rescinded the earlier resolu-
tion.
This means that there will be no
special primary in November, or at
any other time, this year, for senate
rial nominations, but that the matter
will be passed up to be settled in the
regular primary election of 1911.
The principal cause that brought
about this change of front was the
very positive and plainspoken declara-
ton of Gov. Noel before the commit
tee that, having been advised Of the
committees action in the face of his
communication of the morning, with
out making any threats, but simply as
u matter of information, now that they
had adopted their resolution and were
determined upon holding primary
this year, regardless, he wished to in
form them, that both he and Attorney
General Hudson had examined the law
thoroughly, and ethat they would in
terpose every legal step at their COM
mand to prevent the holding Of such
an election. In the strongest possible
terms he appealed to the committee
not to place themselves and the Dem
ocratic party for which they stood out
side the law, for in his own mind he
had no doubt Of the law nor of the
authority of the executive in the mat
ter.
To call a primary in November
owuld be as much as to say, "We don /
propose to be regulated by the law,
and in this you will simply be passing
from law to lawlessness, Srom order to
anarchy"

USED LAWLER'S DRAFT
STENOGRAPHER FOR SECRETARY
SPRINGS SENSATION.
Saws Taft Adopted Portions of LaWIer
Draft Dismssing CLAWS Charges.
White House Denies 1t.

Neutrality-suspicious. Lawler, assist
ant attorney general for the interior
department., of which Richard A. Bal
linger is the head, did in fact prepare
a draft of a letter addressed to Secre-
tary Ballinger an in such form and
pnase that it might have been adopted
verbatim and signed by the president
as Mr.. Taft's exoneration of the sec
retary from the charges of l.. r. CLAWS
and authorizing the smissal OF
CLAWS from his position as special
agent of the interior department.
These things became clear in the de-
development in connection with the
Ballinger-P. investigation, and
they occasioned a great sensation in
Washington, where almost every man
and woman is either Ballinger or
Pinchot partisan.
The thing came to a head Saturday
afternoon in the publication of a state
ment attributed to Frederick M. kerby,
one of the stenographers in the office
of Secretary Ballinger, in which
Kerby related at length the circum-
stances under which he alleged the
Lawler draft to have been prepared.
Kerby asserts further that all the pre-
liminary drafts used in the prepara-
ton of the letter were burned in
CRATE at the suggestion and under the
supervision of Don M. Carr, Mr.. Bal
fingers private secretary.
The publication of the Kerby state
ment evoked from the White House
statement declaring there was "abso-
lutely no foundation" for the statement
that the presidents letter of Septem-
ber 13, 1909, was substantially pre-.
pared for the presidents signature by
Assistant Attorney General Lawler"
and asserting unequivocally that the
president dictated his letter personal.

Demurrase Conference.

Railroad Commissioner John A..
Webb visited Meridian on Saturday to
attend a conference of the Meridian
Board of Trade, between wholesalers,
jobbers, manufacturing lumbermen
and others interested in general trans
portation matters. The matter to be
discussed is adapting the demurrage
rules adopted by the national associa-
ton of railroad commissioners and
later promulgated by the interstate
commerce commission to be enforced
throughout the country. 1t is what is
technically known as the general aver
age rule of demurrage which has to be
studied and applied to local tariffs,
and as Capt. Webb points out it is
OF more direct interest to the condi-
tlons obtaining in the Meridian and
Eastern Mississippi than elsewhere in

U. S. Court Adjourns.


The regular May term of United
States court was brought to close
Tuesday, when all the jurors were dis
charged and formal matters disposed
of, including orders and DEGREES in
matters of law and equity.
There was considerable business
disposed of during the term, much of
which was on the criminal side Of the
docket, there having been several post
office cases; in fact more of these of a
petty nature than for some years. The
most serious was against Silas Finch,
negro, who purloined mail sack
from the railroad station at Morton
some months ago, opened it and went
through the mail matter. He was
cauht, and Jude Niles imposed a SEN
tence of one year in the Georgia state
penitentiary.
Thomas G. Moore, a white youth
from Lincoln county, was fined $50 and
given six months Jail sentence for
sending Black Hand letter through
the mails, while like sentence was
meted out to F. B. Barlow, Copiah
county man, who pleaded guilty to
sending obscene matter through the
mails.

Argue New County Case.

Attorney General Hudson has re-
turned from Columbia, where he went
to argue the contention of the stae in
the Walthall county mandamus pro-
ceedings over the question whether or
not the commissioners for the special
election held during April in order to
decide whether the people residing in
the dismembered sections of Pike and
Marion county weer willing to indorse
the action of the legislature in the
passage of the new county bill, should
accept the returns from Slade box. The
position of the attorney general is that
1t was the duty Of the managers of the
election at the precinct in question to
rule on the legality of those Offering
to vote, and it was not in the province
OF the election commissioners to go be-
hind their returns. He contends that
there is plenty of law to cover this
position, and it is probable that the
supreme court will be called upon to
construe the point.
