Is TABULATINC
ELECTION LAWS
SECRETARY OF STATE WILL is
SUE A PAMPHLET TO
ENllGHTEN THE
VOTERS.

"A pamphlet containing a tabulation of
the new election laws is being prepared
by Secretary OF state Frederick c.
Martindale and will soon be given gem
eral distribution throughout the state
Some of the changes made by the last
legislature are radical and about many
lof them there is a general misunder-
standing.
Under the revised statute no can
didate shall be deemed nominated
whose party does not cast IS per cent
/ OF the vote cast for secretary OF state
at the last election and such party
shall not have the names of any candi-
dates printed upon the election ballot
This will mean that the Republicans
will have to poll S3129 votes at the prl-
mary election, Democrats 1896, Pro-
lhibitionists 1,465. Socialists, 1862 and
Socialist-Labor 1S4.
Secretary Of State Martindale points
to the fact that there Is always a con-
test of some sort i'm the Republican
ranks and that party has little to fear
from the new law, but unless the
Democrats, Socialists and Prohibition
lists visit the polls in larger numbers
than has been their custom i'm primary
elections held in other years. there is
n possibility that some of the candi-
dates may not be allowed TO have their
names on the official ballots at the
general election.
The new law provides that there
must be an entirely new enrolment
among all political parties in the state
in 1912. If a voter of any political faith
wishes to participate in the primary
election Tuesday, August 27, it will be
necessary for him to register again
previous to that time. The registra-
ton days have been set for Saturday,
January q, and Monday. April /.
The officers to be nominated at the
August primary are governor, lieuten-
ant governor, United States senator
Congressman, state senators, reprcsen-
tatlces, county officers and such Off
GERS in cities of over 10000 population
holding elections i'm November
Special elections for the submission
of any proposition are not to be called
on any regular primary day When
special election is necessary to fill
vacancies in counties or districts. the
primary shall be the tenth day prior to
the regular election, unless that day
be Sunday. when in such event. it
shall be the day prior. The county
convention may be called any time be-
tween August q, the date of the gem
eral primary, and September H.
All county conventions of the same
party are to be held on the same day,
the call to be issued by the state CEN
trail committee in its announcement Of
the state convention. The county COM
mittee of each political party, except
chairman and secretary. shall be
chosen at each county convention held
after the August primary.

Roofing THE "HANTS.D
Why Mirrors are Placed on Graves o.
Negroes.

Negroes.
Il would be very difficult at this late
day to discover anything new i'm the
way of negro superstitions, but one
has been unearthed i'm Raleigh, n c..
which may or may not have wide prey
alence. A negro graveyard-for they
do not use the word cemetery at all
is often strange sort of place. There
is something rather barbaric about it,
IN a cemetery there a great many of
the graves are covered with bright
objects. and i'm one case. where n man
died of consumption. the earth mound
is almost covered with triangular bot
Ties, which once contained medicine,
bits Of looking glass being set here and
there, SO that the effect is really daz-
zling. gfWT
In another case a grave is covered
with broken bits of looking glass of
an sorts and shapes. and it is this par
ticular grave which developed the fact
of the superstition. An aged negro
was met very near 1t. and conversation
began, taking quite a range There
was some discussion of "hants" and a
story was told regarding the appear
ance of one of these specters i'm the
suburbs Of Raleigh, an aged negress
declaring that n little before dusk she
had seen the "hant" Here is what
she told about 1t:

seed or sort ux twinkle in lie element

Whar whole lot NV horseshoes is

The old darley listened to this story
very intcntly; his eyes rolled and he
said BLESS Gawd!" several times.
Then he looked about and said: Mig

THE REASON.

A Russian gentleman tells a funny
story of his first encounter with the
English language
The day after his arrival in London
he made a call on friend in Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
note book what he supposed to be the
correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called to a cab
man and pointed to the address that
he had written down. The cabman
looked him over cracked his whip. and
drove away without word.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
sian turned Indignantly to the police.
with no better results. one officer would
laugh, another would tap his head and
make motion initiating the revolu-
tion of a wheel, and so on.
Finally, the poor foreigner gave it
up, and with a great deal of difficulty.
recalling the land marks which he had
observed the day before found his way
to his friends house. Arriving there,
and in company with one who could
understand him, he delivered himself
of a severe condemnation of the cab
men and the police of London for their
impertinence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for look at the
address, and the mys-

The Russian had with great care cop

IS INDICTED
CHARGED In The Federal Courts With
Issuing False Bills OF

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 2O-The
grand jury in the Federal court fin
ished it's work yesterday and ad-
journed for the term. The report
was oral-not written, as is always
the case in the state courts. Sixteen
indictments were found.
Among these indictments were three
against the New Orleans & Northeast
ern railroad. Two of them were for
false bills of lading and one for falsi-
fication of record.
These indictments were under the
laws governing interstate commerce.
1t is said that company coal intended
for use on the New Orleans & North
eastern would be billed from the
starting point in Alabama to Arundal,
so that the company could participate
in the rates for a double haul and in
terchange freight rates. The company
would have the cars unloaded in Me
ridian, so it is claimed, and would
not take them to Arundal at all.
It is claimed that false records were
made of these transactions, and this
resulted in one of the indictments

LEAGUE MEETING
TO Be in OCTOBER
Some Doubt About Greenwood and
Yazoo City Staying in Anoth-
err Year.

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 20.-Presi-
dent Frank Scott will issue call
within the next few days for the regu-
lar meeting of the board of directors
of the Cotton States league to as
semble in Vicksburg during the early
part of October.
The meeting will be for the pur'
pose of reviewing the season just
closed, auditing the accounts of the
president, and discussing plans for
the season of 1911.
That the league will hold together
is foregone conclusion. Perhaps
there may be some changes in the
circuit. one or two towns may drop
out and others come forward to take
their place, but professional baseball
will continue, even though, from a
financial viewpoint, it is a losing pro-
position.
The formal award of the penant
will be made at the Vicksburg meet
ing, and after the call is issued Presi-
dent Scott will endeavor to ascertain
whether there is any likelihood of va
ZOO City or Greenwood quitting the
game.
If either intends to retire the lea
que president will try to get another
city for the vacancy.
1t is not yet known whether Presi
dent Scott will stand for reelection
There is considerable talk around the
circuit of pressing the name Of Mr.
A. Lewis, of this city, for the place
1t is an unquestioned fact that there
is not an official in the league whC
knows the game more thoroughly. o
who possesses higher quality of eN
ecutive ability in baseball matter
than Mr.. Lewis. If elected he woul'
be an ideal president.
