NEVILLE GETS BIG
VOTE FOR JUDGE
Fails Of a Majority, How :
ever, and Will Have to Go
Into a Second Primary.

Gulfport, Miss, Aug. 19.
With all the but few precincts heard
from, it is now certain that James Fl.
Neville and d. M. Graham, the two
Gulfport candidates in the race for
circuit judge will have to run in Sc
cond primary, which will take place
September 8. Neville obtained a large
plurality, having about 700 votes more
than the next highest candidate, he did
not get a majority. Both Neville and
Graham expect to be elected en- the
next primary. An interesting feature
of the voting was that Neville's plurality
did not come from any particlar section
but was general over the four counties
comprising the circuit district.
The voting was light over the coun-
ties, but Gulfport cast much larger
vote than was expected, 532, probably
because two of the candidates were
from Gulfport. The total vote reported
here so far over the entire district was
3.503. This does not include several
small boxes not yet heard from.
Incomplete returns indicate that B. P.
Harrison, present congressman from
this district, was reelected by an
overwhelming majority, getting in some
places practically the entire vote. His
opponent. J.. d. Donald of Hattiesburg,
made poor showing and was defeated
in his home town almost two to one,
In Gulfport Harrison secured All votes,
while Donald polled only AZ. At Long
Beach, HARRISON got "a and Donald
only 5. In Jackson county Harrison
received 500 and Donald IL. Other
counties and boxes polled proportion
ate vote.

cation one day with the janitor, who
entered the classroom and Insisted on
sweeping while Dockeray was lectur-
Ing, a number of students rushed to

free for all fight during which the
cantor, who had drawn a revolver,
was overpowered and disarmed. AS q
burly student grasped the pistol shot
was fred. AS soon as order was some
what restored the frightened ana Zee
Ing students reassembled and accounts
were taken from them Of the affair.
All the students swore they had heard
the shot, and several told of seeing
the smoke from the revolver. Then
Professor Dockeray told them It was
an experiment. d fight had been plan
ned carefully, and the shot Of the re-
volyer was from the outside of the
building BY "a student posted there.
The purpose Of the experiment was to
show the unreliability Of information,
