A Great Special Edition

we never saw a better stecial edi-
ton, published than that of Tho
Laurel Argus, and which made its
appearance last week, and the enter.
prlslng publishers were compliuentod
by every one. That paper certainlv
makes wonderful showing Of M.
progress of their city, and which
reads almost like story from Inc
Arabian Nights. But an investiga-
tlon VIII show that so far from ex5o.
gefation, the Editors were careful
In securing Information, and in every
instance undererestiable Instead Of
exaggerated. We do not believe an
other city in the South, If in the
whole United States, en- show snch
marked progress as Laurel. And
THIS great edition, not only covered
Laurel but contained a splendid
write up Of Ellisville and the whole
OF Jones county We have seen
larger papers of this kind. but never
one so perfect in It's details or which
IS calculated to do such widespread
good.
Ellisville looks upon Laurel as lis
most enterprising suburb, and re.
lolces In its upbuilding and pros |
lerlty. We are glad 10 see it grow |
and expand. We congratnlai tha
of the Argus on the |
splendid edition they have given the |
public.

HORRIBLE SHIPWRECK.

London, Oct. IL. Not since the IT,
tanic sank has Europe been SO thrill
led as by wireless message today
telling Of the burning of the steam
ship Volturno in mid Atlantic, with a
loss, far as is at present known, Of
1876 lives and the rescue Of 52l.
The survivors now are aboard feet
Of steamers, summoned by the Voltur-
nos call Tor help, some of which are
bound eastward and other westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rotter-
dam on October 2 for New York.
According to the official statement,
she carried y frst cabin passengers;
553 steerage and a crew numbering
gG.
The rescue ships reached the scene OF
the disaster Ia plenty Vt time to save
all, but for hours stood by the blaz-
ug vessel, impotent because OF Inc
storm TO reach the agonized men, wo-
men and children erowding the after
part ol the ship which was within "a
stones throw.
All night Thursday the liieboats
i made d desperate effort 10 get along
side the Volturno, but the waves beat
them back again and again, and not
until Tie storm abated at daylight
Friday did the rescuers succeed in
removing the survivors from the
doomed ship.
IL looked for hours as ii the Titanic
disaster would be duplicated on a
smaiier scale, aud That all OF the
passengers and members OF the crew,
numbering nearly thousand souls,
would have To choose between death
n a stormy sea and cremation on
board the sinking ship.
Ten ships, all located within hun
dred miles Of The VolLurno, answered
the distress calls, and The answers
came SO fast and were so badly broken
that the Volturno operator was con-
fused. All of the neighboring vessels
changed their courses and headed ia
the direetion which they believed the
sinking ship to be located, and sew
eral OF them arrived In time to assist
in rescuipg the 52l passengers who
still survived While the details are
meagre, many feats of heroism will
be recorded.
The gale moderated slightly before
night, and ships arriving after the
Germania, lowered their lifeboats,

.FAvORS PRIMARY FOR
ELECTING PRESIDENTS
Norris Would Abolish Conven-
tions and Let Candidates
Write Platforms.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 1.--Senator
Norris today In a statement came out
for more direct participation by the
people In the government. Though he
is for the reorganization OF the repub-
hcan party, he IL also for legislation
which would practically reorganize all
parties. A national presidential pri-
mary law amendment OF the constitu-
ton to abolish the electoral college and
the election Of presidents by direct
vote are advocated by Senator Norris.
Senator Norris believes sentiment for
q presidential !. primary Is growing
rapidly and that such a law will be
passed before 1916, demanding the TAXI
ing Of h nomination and election or
the president out of the hands Of the
bosses. Senator Norris says IL ought
TO be possible under the law for a man
to become a candidate for president n
dependent Of all political parties.
Practical adjustment of national COM
ventions allowing candidates for prest-
dent to promulgate their own platforms
is among the series Of reforms Senator
Norris advocated.
