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

First Ordered Senatorial Primary Then
FIopped Over.
After dallying throughout practical
ly the entire day over the question
whether or not they should order
a special primary election to be hell
this year in order to settle the senate
rial question, as between Messrs. Var
daman and Percy, and after first adopt
ing a resolution making provision 70
suoh a primary, the state executiv"
committee Saturday reversed its pos.
ton and rescinded the earlier resolu~
tion.
ThisE 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
matter of information, now that they
had adopted their resolution and were
determined upon holding a 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, 1--WE dom
propose to be regulated by the law,
and in this you will simply be passing
from law to lawlessness, from order to
anarchy"

Mistaken.

Recently two gentlemen, driving
in a wagonette, were smoking, when
a spark falling from one of their
cigars set fire to some straw at the
bottom Of the carriage. The flames
soon drove them from their seats;
and while they were extinguishing
the fire, countryman, who had for
some time been following them on
horseback, alighted to assist them.
ct have been watching the smoke for
some time" said he. why, then,
did you not give us notice?" asked
the astonished travellers. %Well, .

many new-fangled notions nowadays,

Confession of a jury Man.

A lawyer once asked a man who
had at various times sat on several
juries, who Influenced you most
the lawyers, the witnesses, or the
judge?" He expected to get some
useful and interesting information
from so experienced a juryman.
This was the mans reply: 81 tell
yer, sir, 'ow 1 makes up my mind.
I'm a plain man, and a reasonin'
man, and l amt Influenced by any
thing the lawyers say, nor by what
the witnesses say, no, nor by what
the judge says. 1 just looks at the
man in the docks and 1 says, If he
amt done nothing, why's he there?'
And l brings 'em all in guilty"

here IS A new CURE FOR INSOMNIA
When All Other Remedies Fail, Try
This One.

AV~AAAN~@@~R
This One.
The Nashville Tennessean offers a
new cure for insomnia. After all
other remedies fail, recommend this
to your customers:
Not long since a friend Of mine
who heard that was suffering from
insomnia told me of a cure" said
Fred. H Logan, of Newark, N. j..
This friend told me that by drink
ing two glasses of sweet milk and
eating a pint of roasted peanuts just
before retiring / would sleep like a
log. / tried the cure. For the bene-
fit of others who are suffering from
the same disease of not being able to
sleep I'll relate my experience. First,
let me say that my friend was right.
I did go to sleep very soon after
putting away the milk and peanuts.
Then a man with a long tobacco
knife came along and chopped of
my head. Just as couple of street
dogs grabbed my head and started
to run away with it l stepped on a
trolley car and broke both legs. The
conductor jabbed with a long red
hot iron, and cut off my right arm
just above the elbow. l was negoti-
ating with a millionaire for the pur-
chase of his brown stone front when
q Chinese dragon happened along
and bit me in two. With a tooth
pick / stabbed the dragon to death,
and then proceeded to eat three
bricks for my breakfast. l had just
left the table when a locomotive
rushed into the room and shot me
between the eyes. 1 jumped up and
threw ton of chewing gum at the
feeting engine, when, all Of sud-
den, 1 was picked off my feet by a
monster fish, who deposited me In
the middle of the ocean. l jumped
up and ran across the water and
stopped a passing steamboat and
climbed aboard. Hardly had I TAX
en- a seat on deck when huge snake
swallowed me and started to fly
through the air. AS 1 went up into
the clouds 1 woke up, and found I
had been asleep almost ten minutes.
For insomnia, try milk and pea
nuts" =

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 81
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-
cial call that no proposal from a COM
munity will be considered that is not
accompanied by cash bid of 100000
or an equivalent in bonds, together
with deed to at least Sky acres of
ground. The time set for the receiv-
ing of such proposals is September 1

by the April blizzard, matters are not
in nearly as bad shape as was the case

that the panic of last year, the boil

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-
coed ngs 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
Mar on county weer will ng 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
l. was the duty of the managers Of the
election at the precinct in question to
rule on the legality of those offering
to vo-e, 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 VII be called upon to
construe the point.

MOVING PICTURE
WALKS AND TALKS
This is the Sort That Edison
Says He's Fixed for Enter
tainment of People.

Orange, N. j., Sep. Que Of the
most interesting experiments in mo
ing photography that Thomas A Edison
has ever tried, in his many attempts to
merge motion with sound, has just been
tested in one Of the Edison laboratories
in Orange. For the first time he show.
ed exactly what he had accomplished
along the lines Of one of his favorite
pursuits. the production of nm instru.
ment which should give simultaneous.
~ the movements of the human being
and the sounds Of the same being IS
voice. lie said this evening that he
believed he will succeed within n year
in giving ont results wnich will please
the public nightly. His new invention
he calls the Edison kenitophone.
Many attempts have been made, as
Mr.. Edison and his assistant pointed
out. to render the human voice in ma.
tural accompaniment with the moving
pictures which have become so popular
all over the world. There have been
made certain records of dances and
songs Of primitive people by various
exploring scientists, but these have been
made by two separate instruments, one
picturing the movement, the other re.
cording the sounds Of both voices and
musical instruments, and there has new
er been that actual and precise agree
ment between these two instruments
which is necessary to give the desired
illusion.
The real test of the evenings expert.
ment came when a big man walked for.
ward on the screen, bowed to tho au.
dience, and began to speak. As loon
as he opened his mouth the sounds came
naturally as they would from an actor
on the stage, or TO he more precise, per
haps II ought to be said that they came
like the sound of a voice of Il manager
