tisticai department Of the state board
OF health by DIR. Z. II. Galloway. secre-
tary and executive officer Of the board.
owing TO lack Of harmony on the part
OF the former. has stirred up quite a
little tempest. Dir. Hunter recently
published in Biloxi paper a copy of a
letter which he had written DR.. Gallo
way. in which the Biloxian openly crit
icises Secretary Galloway and charges
that he was inspired to his action in
order to gain cheap notoriety."
DIR. Galloway prepared an open let
ter. In which he defends his action in
dismissing DIR. Hunter and assumes the
entire responsibility. According 20 the
correspondence. DIR. Hunter took ex
ception TO the action OF the state
health authorities in the matter OF
handling the bubonic plague inspection
and a quarantine along the coast and
declined to cooperate with DR.. Rowan
and the surgeons Of the public health
service, which action was considered
as detrimental to the morale and dis
cipline deemed so essential to the sue
cess Of the campaign against possible
plague Infection
The publication OF the letters. that
OF DR.. Hunter to DIR. Galloway and ol
the latter. has caused considerable
comment. the consensus Of which Is &c
approve the course OF the state health
authorities in the matter. DIR. Gallo

Preparing Ballots.

Secretary OF State Power has . con.
siderable task cgpfronting him between
aow and the tin for preparing the Of.
fetal ballot to he used throughout the
state In the general election to be held
In November. when the nominees In
the primary election and those who
will come out Of the run-off In Sep,em-
her viii be formally elected. Under
the primary election law. the secretary
of state has nothing official to do In
connection with the arrangements for
holding them. All the details are left
to party management: TO the distric,
executive committees OF the political
parties participating. which bodies are
required to meet at some designated
courthouse In their respective districts.
canvass the returns sent in by the
county executive committees. and OF.
ficially declare the nominees.
Since the election Mr. Power has re.
ceived kilograms and telephone calls
from sundry sources, seeking informa.
tion as TO election results. which OF
course he could not furnish. since II
Is not his time. under the law. for sup
plying information. Even some OF the
county executive committees have sent
their returns to his office. under pal.
pable misapprehension Of the situation,
which Secretary Power has promptly
returned.
The duty OF preparing the ballot
forms. which the secretary OF state will
be required to send to the election
commissioners Of the different coun.
ties. will involve considerable care and
study. II is simple enough to prepare
the congressional district ballots. as
they are well marked and clearly
grouped. But with the judicial dis.
tricts 1t is different. Where there are
eight congressional districts existing
IN the state. the same territory con.
tains 10 chancery court districts and
II circuit court districts. In these
three groups Of districts there are no
two exactly alike. and in none Of them
are the same counties embraced in the
same three classes Of districts.
Taking the adjoining counties OF
Rankin and Hinds. as an example
Rankin is Included in the Second chan
cry district. which also includes Lau-
derdale. Smith. Scott and several 9TH
er counties; in the Eighth circuit court
district. which includes Neshobs.
