FLOOD VICTIMS
EATING SOUR CORN
More Than Thousand People on the
Verge of Starvation in Submerg-
ed Alabama County.

PORTLAND, Ala. - There are
more than a thousand people in south
Greene county who are starving.
They have been reduced to such cir
cumstances that they are compelled
to eat the sour green corn where the
waters have receded. This county
lies in the forks of the Tombigbee
and Black Warrior rivers. The en-
tire county was submerged and the
crops are a total loss. This leaves
the inhabitants without credit and
WITHOUT food. The farmers are una
BILE to feed the negroes, and the lands
are too wet to be worked.

7-FOOT SAUSAGE"
PROVED To Be SNAKE
JUST COMMON ONE, SOME SAY.
PERUVIAN PRETZEL SPECIES,
SAYS POLICE OFFICER.

NEW YORK.-The good fortune
which Charles Beckstein believed had
come to him the other day failed
when the seven-foot length of sau-
sage he reached for in the cellar of
his pork store turned out to be a
rather lively snake.
When Beckstein saw what he sup
posed was a coil of sausage that had
been overlooked by clerk he chuck
led and called to his wife for Irvine
with which to tie the sausage into
links for the display counter.
Excited cries for aid emanating
from the cellar indicated to persons
passing in the street that Beckstein
had made a serious error. Among
the first to hurry downstairs were
Policemen Meagher and Ames.
They found the snake running a
close second in the twelfth lap of a
race about the cellar. When the con-
testants passed the reviewing stand
on the stairs in the thirteenth lap
the policemen smothered the snake
Will d UldIIhSO anu OOOIl AldO Lllll az
the West Tooth street station.
Examination proved it was just a
common snake-or rather an uncom-
mon snake, for no two persons could
agree on its variety, though Lieut..
Joyce insisted that it was Peruvian
pretzel snake, which is fond of sau-
sages and other things associated
with pretzels.
Inquiry developed the fact that a
few days ago a snake seven feet in
length escaped from a long-haired
man who was demonstrating the eff
cacy of a corn oil" in a drug store
window a few doors from Beckstein's
store. A Quiet search failed to find
the snake, and the corn oil' man
moved to other fields, leaving several
hundreds of tenants in that row of
tenements ignorant of the truth that
a large snake was at large.
Instead of doing harm, however,
the snake busted itself in diminishing
the visible supply of rats and mice.
Tenants had noted falling off in
the supply of rodents and could not
account for it until the snake was
found.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION
BILL PASSES SENATE
DECLARED UNDEMOCRATIC BY
OPPOSING FORCES. APPLIES
TO COMING ELECTION.

ATLANTA-Th Neill primary
election bill was passed in the senate
TODAY after a somewhat vigorous but
thoroughly parliamentary debate, by
a vote of 20 to 8. AS passed the bill
carried an amendment offered by
President Persons which provides
that where any candidate receives a
majority of the vote of any county
in the first primary the second prl-
mary shall not be held in that county,
but such county shall remain IN the
column of the candidate receiving It's
majority vote.
Under the Persons amendment,
which must be concurred in by the
house before the measure goes to the
governor, if a second primary is held
between the two leading candidates
in the first primary the candidate
who gets majority IN any county IN
the first primary retains that county
regardless of his position in the race
and even though he may not be one
of those to make the second race.
The senate voted down by % to .
the Mclaughlin amendment which
sought to provide that the primary
bill go into effect January l, 1911,
and it will become effective imme-
diately after it receives the govern
or's signature.
This will make its provisions APP
ply to the coming state primary OF
Sept. ~. The bill recognizes and
provides for the county unit system
in all statewide primaries, including
candidates for United States senate,
governor, all state house officers,
Judges of the superior courts and
court of appeals.
The first primary is to be held the
second Wednesday in September of
each political year. The candidate
who receives a majority of the coun-
tv unit vote is to be declared the
nominee and in the event of tie
with only two in the race the popular
vote shall then decide the result. In
the event no candidate receives a
majority of the county unit vote then
there is to be a second primary or
"run-off" between the two highest
candidates. In the event there is a
''run-off" it is to be held the first
Wednesday in October.
Senator Mclaughlin, urging his
amendment to postpone the effect
iveness of the bill until next year,
called attention to the fact that the
rules of this years primary have al
ready been laid down by the state
executive committee, and that to
make the law apply to the coming
September primary would be in the
nature of retroactive legislation.

Senator Burnside, of the Twenty

Adams, of the Thirty-third, also de-
