FLOATER RACE
CAUSES FURRY
Second Primary is EnIivened in Hinds
County by Controversy.
Special to The Ne1s.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 22.-The pollti-
cal situation in this CHinds) county,
was enlivened by small controversy
that arose at the last minute between
w E. Mallette and E. ]. Ellzey, both
of whom were candidates for fioater
representative from Kinds and Yazoo
counties. Ellzey had majority on
the face of the returns in the first pri-
mary, but Mallette claims that this
was due to the fact that his name
was not on the ticket in Yazoo county.
A committee met after the first pri-
mary and resolved that there had been
no nomination and that both names
be placed on the ticket for the 22nd.
Another committee met Saturday and
declared Ellzey the nominee of the
party. The voting here today is some
what spirited and it is made more live
" by Ellzey coming out in a care
asking that the voters cast their bal
, lots for him. Other offices are alsC
being warmly contested.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 22.-lt looks
like a wrangle is brewing between
Governor Reeves, who was suspended
by the Governor from performing fur-
ther duties as sheriff and tax collector
of Harrison county. Assistant Attor-
ney-General Carl Fox on Monday rem
dered an official opinion to the COVER
nor declaring that Reeves had no
right or authority by law to ho'd on
to the office, but that H. H. Tipp1ns'
who was named for the place, was the
heir to he job. Reeves continues to
hold his place serenely and Tippin
does not care enough about it to fight
for it. 1t now looks like the Governor
will have to force Reeves from the
office if he is that much determined
in it.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 22.-Anent the
report that Senator John Sharp VIII
liams would decline to introduce Sena-
tor-elect Vardaman to the senate when
the latter goes to assume the place,
the Senior Senator from Mississippi
has addressed a lengthy letter to The
Jackson Daily News in which he de-
clares that it would simply be his
duty to introduce the new senator and
that he is not in the habit of running
away from his duty. He states that
he will present Governor Vardaman
to the senate if the latter desires 1t
and that he will also walk down the
allies of the senate with him. Senator
Williams says he will not have any
hypocritical ado about being fond oil
each other in case he is called on fol
this task, but will simply perform his
duty in this as in other cases tina
come before him.

Cotton States League Closes
1911 Season Tomorrow Afternoon

Too much can not be said in praise
of Manager Smith as player and
and we can well add as a
man. There is no cleaner, more gen
tlemanly player in baseball circles
than Carlos Smith.
The records will show his standing
as a player. The standing of Hatties-
burg in the league is an evidence OF
his ability as a manager. He is es-
pecially adept in the development of
young players, and every man under
him looks on him as friend and looks
to him for advice. Smith will doubt
less have charge again next year.
Of the other players-and they are
conscientious, hardworking, gentle
manly lot-M. Smith belongs to Mont
gomery and leaves today for thai
place. Gondolfi has been sold condi
tionally to Chattanooga and will prob
ably leave tomorrow. Madden belong
to Dallas, Texas, and will probably pla!
in the West next year
Wickenhoffer, Blanchfield, Crew;
Bagby, Harb, Dodson, Redding an
Eaton belong Internationally to Ha
