Several Days.

Ten dollars minute, that is what
Forrest county farmers and truck
growers say that today's rain storm,
which gave preliminary exhibition
of wetting the parched and burning
earth late yesterday afternoon, is
worth to them.
In the nick Of time came the rain
from the southeast. 1t had been fore
casted by the United States Weather
Bureau, but the rain clouds coming
from the Windward Islands made bet
ter progress than na0 been expected.
Consequently the storm reached here
several hours ahead of schedule time.
The rain was needed. For several
days, vegetation throughout this coun-
ty and this section has suffered on ac-
count of the dry spell. Truckers in
particular, had begun to complain,
and the owners of gardens in Hatties-
burg and vicinity began to have vi
sions of living off of canned goods

Is Soaking Rain.

But the soaking, "clod busting
rain appeared jus; as the truckers had
commenced to lose all hope. They're
all wearing smiles today, as they sit
on their porches and literally see the
late crops growing, anG their curnip
seeds, planted last week, pushing
their way upwards through the
ground.
The blow which is scheduled to
accompany the disturbance originat-
ing in the Windward Islands. however.
has not struck South Mississippi. 1t
may not appear for another "a hours.
From Washington came the report
that the first West Indian disturb
ance of the season had appeared near
the central portion of the Windwards.
The intensity or the disturbance
was not indicated. Cautionary ad-
vices were issued.
Weather for the territory east OF
the Mississippi river for the week, is
said by the Washington forecast to be
largely dependent upon the movement
of this disturbance At present indi-
cations are as follows:
Middle Atlantic states-Fair We'd
nesday, followed by showers Thurs
day and Friday and possibly Satur
! day: probably fair remainder ot
week; moderate temperatures.
South Atlantic and east gulf state:
Thunder showers for several days
| followed by fair weather the remain
der of the week. Seasonable temper
atures.
West Gulf states-Thunder shower.
for two or three days, followed by gen
orally fair thereafter. Seasonablt
temperatures.

AS TO a SPECIAL SESSION.

Since the visit OF Governor Fergu-
son to the East, during which he de-
livered an address before the Life In.
surance Presidents Association Of
New York. the clamor for a special
session of the legislature has broken
out again. Be II said there has been
no word from the governor on the
subject. but from individuals and
from certain newspapers. among
which is the Galveston News, which
gives some very plausible reasons for
favoring special session at this
time. The need may be urgent. and
the Eagle would be inclined to favor
II were II not for the fact we have
kind OF bunch the time OF the ses.
sion would be spent. not in an effort
TO cure defects In the election laws.
the reason urged for its being called.
but in an effort to whip through the
passage OF the Gibson bill.
We have had no intimation to this
effect. but Just putting two and two
together we believe that would be the
result. The Galveston News makes
strong argument for the special ses.
sion as follows:
Although ordinarily disposed to Ia.
ment special sessions OF the legisla.
ture. the News believes that Governor
Ferguson would tbe fully justified IN
convoking the Texas lawmakers at an
early date TO make certain slight
amendments TO our election laws. An
analysis Of two OF these laws enacted
by the thirty.third legislature. appear.
Ing In yesterdays News shows that
as they now stand they will be prolific
Of much confusion. cause citizens
much unnecessary trouble. and that
the four primary elections which they
require TO be held in 1916 will nut
citizens and taxpayers 10 the enor.
nous expense OF not less than 1926.
600. II Is further made clear that by
eliminating the presidential primary.
which will be entirely unnecessary in
1916. since President Wilson undoubt.
eddy will be nominated to succeed
himself, and by consolidating the
county and senatorial runoff pri.
maries. at least s125.OOO OF expense
can be eliminated. This sum is very
much less tpan would be the cost OF
a special SESSION. OF the legislature,
and We think that upon the ground
Of economy alone the course here sur.
gested would he Justified. Also II Is
worth something to save the people
from unnecessary trouble and con.
fusion.
There Is yet graver reason why
such action should be taken. The
law prohibits anybody from coniribu,.
Ing funds 10 defray the expenses a.

held in the event no candidate for
United States senator shall receive n
majority Of the votes In the general
primary election. At this time II ap.
pears certain that there will be rea.
son for holding this second primary
and II so. II seems probable that there
will be evasion OF the law. as II now
stands, in order TO meet the expenses

Republicans would be tempted ~.
seat a TEXAS senator upOn the round
that he was Illegally nominated. and
therefore Illegally elected, for our
senatorial election law declares that
the name OF no party candidate for
senator shall be placed upon the bal
lot OF the final election unless he
shall have been nominated in accord
ance with this law.
We do not abate our advocacy Of
presidential primaries. but we do feel
that our present hurriedly enacted
statute upon the subject is sadly de-
fective. and that Il ought to be sup
planted by a law which shall more
definitely and clearly cover every
necessary point. Its main defect. how
ever. Is that Il contemplates a fight
for the presidency every four years,
and therefore mandatorily requires a
primary to be held. II makes no pro
vision for such a contingency as now
arises by reason Of the want OF oppo-
sItion 10 President Wilson. When the
law shall be redrafted. In our judg.
ment. II ought TO give the voters OF
the Democratic party a certain OPP
tion: say. let II provide that the
presidential matter shall be dealt
with through the convention system,
unless. say, 10 per cent OF the men,
bers Of the party shall petition for
primary election. This would in
sure the use OF the primary system
when needed: otherwise II would pro
tect the people against unnecessary
annoyance and expense.
However. II may not be possible to
amend the law In a special session.
Nor Is II necessary to do so at this
time. The existing need can be met
by an act suspending the presidential
primary law for 1916 and declaring
that article 3l75. r. s.. under which
the conventions heretofore have been
held. shall apply, Also II would be
well. in order that the ballot OF the
general primary shall be relieved. to
amend article 1854, which requires the
Democratic party TO nominate all
candidates for state offices" in pri.
mary Elections so as to except there.
from the offices OF presidential elc-
tors.
Further. Il Is our belief that the
senatorial election law ought 10 he
amended in the proposed special SEES
sion in three particulars. namely;
First. so as TO consolidate the
county and senatorial runoff pri-
maries. Preferably, the consolidated
runoff should be on the fourth Tues
day IN August.
Second. SO as to authorize some
body to contribute just share of the
expenses Of this primary on the part
Of the candidates. All counties do not
require a majority vote for county Of.
iicers. and therefore all OF the ex-
penses OF the consolidated runott pri.
mary could not be placed upon local
candidates.
Third. so as TO give the minority
parties option to nominate candidates
for United States senator either by
the primary system or the convention
system. an option which they now en-
Joy in respect TO all other offices.
The enactments which we here sug'
gest are simple. could easily be put
through. and would be worth very
much more TO the people Of Texas in
saving money and in economy Of time
than the entire cost Of special SEES
sion. besides which II is 70 be consid.
cred that the legislature in such spe'
cial session might do other necessary
work"
