Jackson, Miss, March 15.-Accord-
ing to advices received here from De-
catur, sentence will not be passed on
Hamilton F. Sively, former cashier of
the Merchants C Farmers bank at
Newton, until two weeks hence
Sively was convicted of receiving de-
posits when the bank was insolvent,
several indictments alleging this Of

him. His attorneys announce that they
will file motion for a new trial, and,
should this maneuver prove fruitless,
sentence will then be passed on the
convicted banker.
According to the persons who wit
messed the trial, the rulings of Judge
Dobbs were uniformly fair and impair
tial, and little hope of getting a new
trial can therefore be entertained.
The trial of W. Baker Sively, vice
president of the defunct bank, and ia.
ther of the convicted cashier, will not
take place until the next term of court
continuance having been agreed to
by attorneys for the state. President

.SISSON OPPOSED
TO PRIMARIES
DOES NOT BELIEVE POSTMASTER
SHIPS SHOULD BE SETTLED
IN THAT MANNER.

Jackson, Miss, March 15.-Congress-
man t. U. Sisson of the Fourth Mis-
sissippi district, who is at home for
the short vacation period, expresses
himself as opposed to primaries for
postmasterships, position that has
also been taken by several other men,
bers of the state delegation.
Mr.. Sisson says he favors primary
elections, as a principle, and primaries
to fill postmasterships would be salts
factory if any assurance could be felt
that the Democratic party is perma-
nently in power, but, owing to the un-
certainty of politics, it might prove
disastrous, especially in the Southern
states where heretofore the Democrats
have always been able to get a ma
jority of the postmasterships under
Republican administrations.
The primary for postmasters, Mr.
Sisson fears, might eventually bring
the negro back into politics, and this
is the last thing the South would like
to experience.
Congressman Humphreys and With
erspoon are thus far the only members
of the delegation who have given ap
proval to the primary plan. The po
sition of Senators Williams and varda
man has not yet been defined, but |
is generally believed that they oppos'
the method.

killed, scores severely injured, and
great property loss sustained in the
disastrous electrical tornado which
swept parts of Georgia, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas Thursday afternoon and night
Eighty odd deaths have been reported

be increased when wire communica-
ton is restored in remote sections de-
vastated by the cyclone. The damage
to property cannot be estimated, but
probably will have to be computed in
millions.
Twenty-nine persons are reported to
have perished in Georgia and damage
to property is roughly estimated at !
million dollars. Calhoun, Gordon coun-
ty. Ca, and vicinity, bore the brunt
of the storm in this state, where eleven

in Middleton, four at South Berlin
three at Huron, two at Culleoka and
Lexington, and one at Leesburg and
Rally Hill and Bryant station. Many
sections swept by the storm have moi
been heard. from.
The loss of life in Alabama is esti
mated at thirteen, although severa
persons still are reported missing. Five
negroes were killed near New Decatur
three perished at Calara, and two eacf
at Hokes Bluff, Gayesville and Duke.
Four additional deaths have beer
reported in Texas at Huling. The to
tai in that state is now palced at five
