VARDAMAN TO BE ABSENT.

Jackson, Miss, July 26-Indications
are that nobody viii ever know who is
Senator James K. Vardaman's per
scnal choice in Mississippis contest
for governor.
Senator Vardaman will not come
home to vote. Definite news to this
effect was received here today. The
junior senator is now on a lecture trip
through the West and is booked to be
somewhere in Idaho on August .. Be
fore leaving Jackson he made it
known to number of personal
friends that he would not return for
the primary saying that it would be
a sacrifice of several hundred dollars
in lecture fees.
Up to this time none of the mem
bers of the Mississippi delegation in
congress have named their favorites
in the race for governor.

8 to 10 days, although during hiberna-
ton it may be prolonged to as long
as from 4 to 5 months. Altogether, it
appears that between the time the
eggs are laid and the time that the
adult fly energies "a period of from s
days upward elapses. Ten and 12-day
records were very common in the eX-
periments made to determine this
point. Within > or days after the
emergence of the insect as an adult
fly, the female is ready to deposit her
eggs. Thus, it is possible to have
new generation of flies every II to Il
days and in such a climate as Wash
ington, for instance, this will permit
of from 10 to y generations every
summer. The really effective way to
get rid of this dangerOus pest is to at
tack it in its favorite breeding place
manure.

DA VINCI A PROPHET,
ITALIANS DECLARE
GREAT PAINTER OF FIFTEENTH
CENTURY FORECASTED MANY
THINGS HAPPENING TODAY.

Rome, July 26.-The Leonardo da
Vinci, of whom the world thinks only
as a great painter is now set forth in
the Italian papers as a great prophet
of what might come to pass in war
fare In the latter part of the fif-
teenth century his versatile genius in
cluded skill as a scientist, engineer,
mechanician and architect, as we'll as
painter and musician, and his imagi-
nation led to the design of many re-
markable implements of war, among
which was a steam gun which was
run by boiling water. In this inven-
ton, incidentally, it is said he antici-
pated the steam engine.
In certain of his works he told of
several forms of bombarding engines,
one of which threw minute particles,
like a storm of hail, producing guam
titles of dense smoke to brighten the
enemy. Among his papers are found
what may be called the ancestors of
the terrible cannon for throwing burn
ing liquid at a great distance, which
the Krupp and Essen factories are
said to have turned out. There will
issue from the EARTH" he wrote, that
which, with frightful sounds, will
deafen the surrounding and with its
breath will kill men and ruin cities
and fortresses.' He suggested the
use of a powder which would stun and
suffocate the enemy, and at the same
time suggested a remedy. ITO send
poison in powder he said, ''be careful
to have a wind which will not send
the powder upon yourself, or have the
nose and mouth covered by a thin
wet cloth, so that the powder can
not pass
He left sketches of mortars and
other heavy engines of war which sug-
gest the modern heavy and quick-fir-
ing guns, and seemed even to have
imagined submarine and aeroplane.
Of the former, he wrote, according to
the quotations given in the Italian pa
pers, 81 do not publish or divulge my
way of staying under water because
of the bad nature of man who would
use it for assassination under the sea,
by ripping open the bottom of ships"

A bad fire occurred in the Charles

empty box cars is estimated at about
$500 each; the loss on the three load

and $3.50 each, with an additional
loss of about $1,000 on the seventy

will have to be replaced. The cotton
was a consignment, two ears from
Camden and n from Winnsboro, for
Sprunt and Sons at Wilmington.
When discovered the fire was burn
ing in one Of the empty box cars and
these were in bad condition so that
they could not be moved to where

could reach them. The three cars
loaded with cotton we're moved,
however, to where water could be
thrown on them and the fire was ex-
