anniversary Of George Washington to-

officers and members of the Yorktown
Historical Society. under the auspices
OF which society the exercises OF the

complimented
To-day,s program embraced many
specially appropriate features. the
most pleasing being the able and pat
riotic address of Hon. James r. Lloyd,
of Missouri, a member of the House OF
Representatives from that State; also
chairman Of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee He was
given marked attention by the large
AUDIENCE of the men and women, of not
only York county, but many leading
citizens of Gloucester, Warwick and
James City counties.
His tribute TO the memory of Wash
ington was brilliant one. and the
appreciation of his audience was free
quently manifested by applause. He
also paid o splendid tribute to the
memory of Thomas Nelson. Jr. and
other sons of Virginia, who did so
much to make America a free and in
dependent nation. Mr.. Lloyd display
cd great interest In the proposition
now pending in Congress for the
building of a grand boulevard from
Yorktown to Jamestown Island, and
assured his hearers that he would
| heartily support the measure. and do
| all possible to cause It's enactment
| into law.
Another very interesting and APP
propriatc part OF the days program
was the reading by w. s. Mexican
secretary and founder of the Histori'
| cal Society. of a very carefully pre-
pared paper on the surrender of Corn.
wallis. in which he vividly pictured
the closing scenes of that great his
torical event. Singing by the schoo
| children of York county was q fea-
ture and specially pleasing. The chair.
man Of the meeting, which was hello
in the County Court room, was James
4 w. Clements. OF Halsteads Point, ono
of York couutS's most popular and
prosperous citizens. The invocation
was offered up by Rev, William B. Lee
rector of Grace Episcopal Church here
and the benediction by Rev. r, N

States Senator from Mississippi to
succeed the late Senator a. j. Nc
Laurin, and to serve during the three
years of his linexpircd term, by ma
jority in Joint Legislative caucus of
five votes over former Governor James

fifty eighth ballot, and was brought
about through a process OF elimlna-
ton, terminating deadlock which has
prevailed during seven weeks.
When the caucus met tonight it
WAS after a recess since last Friday,
following announcement by Governor
Noel that should no selection be made
during tho present legislative session

in turn, and the fight narrowed to
the two leading contestants. The
votes controlled by those candidates
who withdrew went almost soltdly to

Remarkable Political Contest.
In several respects the fight IL
caucus has been one of the most .e-
markable political contests ever held in
The South. From, the start. partisan
feeling has been intense, and the con-
test early resolved itself into a fac
tional struggle between the adherents
and opponents of the former Governor
Throughout Vard<ulan has maintained
his original vote, at times gaining
enough to bring him within few vote
OF the goal.
When announcement was made
the result pandemonium broke out,
pent-up enthusiasm of weeks wa
given vent, and it WAS with difficult
that brief addresses by the victor an
vanquished could be heard above Il
cheering.
Mr.. Percy promised a faithful sci
vice, while Mr.. vardaman formal
served notice that he would be a can
