The laws governing the nomination
for congressman do not seem to be
generally understood, and number of
Inquiries are being received at the
State Capital touching this matter.
Some of the primary election laws Of
Mississippi were changed at the ses-
sion of 1914. Section 1892, Chapter
149, Section 2, of HemingWay's Code,
Is quoted in order that congressional
committees and others may be fully
acquainted with the change in the law:
1.-THE first primary election for con-
gTessmen shall be held on the third
Tuesday in August of the years in
which congressman are elected, and
the second primary, when one is neces-
gary, shall be held three weeks there
after, and the election shall be held in
all districts Of the state on the same
day. Candidates for United States
senator shall be nominated at the con-
gressional election next preceding the
general election at which senator is to
be elected under the statute putting
into effect the seventeenth amendment
to the United States constitution, and
In the same manner that congressman
are nominated and the chairman and
secretary of each congressional execu-
tive committee shall certify the vote
for United States senator to the secre-
tary of state in the same manner that
county executive committees certify
the returns of counties in general state
and county primary elections"
Visitors from all parts Of the state
report that registration Is picking up
throughout the various counties as the
result Of the continued insistence OF
the weekly newspapers that the men
and women register forthwith unless
they expect to become political or
phans at the August primary, and at
the November election for United
States senator, congressman and
judges and chancellors. Under The
law no person can vote at the Novem-
Der election or August primaries I'M
less they have registered four months

Tart exhibited with much pleasure a
letter from Hon. A. s. Kyle, state SEN
ator from Pamela county and chairman
of the finance committee Of that body,
enclosing an auditors warrant ON the
state treasury for $500. Seator Kyle
stated that this was half of the salary
paid him, the legislature having raised
the salary from $500 to $1,000 for mem

Jackson has voted $4,000 to con
struct an up-to-date auditorium. This
auditorium has been badly needed at
the capital, which has come to be rec
ognized as the convention city of Mis-
sissippi because of it's eligibility, Il
having railroad facilities equal to that
of any city in the south. Among the
sites being discussed for the audito
rum, which is expected to be ready to
accommodate the Mississippi teachers

Begin Here Today.

Kate Parsons had quarreled with
her mother in her youth. The girl
was high-spirited, ran away from
home one night and disappeared in
the maze of the great city.
There she had met, loved and
married Dan Ward Their married
life had been happy but he had died
and after a long absence Kate turn
ed toward home.
There she learned that her moth
er was dead. Kate decided to live
with her father Justin Parsons, now
alone in the world with only the old
dog, Monk, for a companion.
Go on With the Story.
Almost with the dawn Kate Ward
was up.
While she dressed, Monk padded
around at her heels, rubbing an af-
fectionate nose over her slippers.
Then he stretched, with his huge
forepaws on her shoulders while he
looked confidently but questioningly
into her face.

the other side Of the hall, was stir

clarity his vision, in which persisted
Kate and her mother as they were
years before.
Hot biscuits, Monk-and bowl
of broth, an bone for you?"
Monk expressed approval with a
mad twitching of his stubby tail and
followed Kate to the kitchen.
Didn't do much dishwashing,
reckon, in the city," Justin was help

breakfast things.
Not much!" smiling.

You're lying, Katie. I never
knew you to tell an untruth, but l
know you aren't that kind of a wo-

He's gone now-anyway," gently.
Justin Parsons looked at his
daughter sharply. That was like her,
just to come and not say anything.

American Woman Forced To
Stop Speaking At British
Political Party Meeting

LONDON, Dec. 16.-(By Associat-
cd Press. Lady Astor was the cen
ter of stormy scene at the confer
ence of the National Unionist Asso-

arousing so much ire that she was

delegate shouted, GO back to

ganda," Lady Aston threw the first

proclaimed that the real enemies of
the workers were the capitalists, the
leaders of the old political parties,
and the foolish sheep who allowed
themselves to be led to the slaughter.
On the extreme right and more
dangerous to the sorely troubled re-
public are the Kaiserites. They have
their newspapers and their pamph-
letters. They point out Germany's
sad plight and then they bark back
to the good old days under the
kaiser.
In some sections of Germany, re-
cent elections have shown an in
crease in the voices for the Mon
archist party. While the Communists
dream of a red revolution which will
make Germany Bolshevik, the Mon
archists plan for another "putsch"
which will once more put them in
the saddle.
My own judgment is that there is
more danger from the Monarchists
than from the Communists.

SCHOOL BOARD
Is ENTERTAINED
Members of Education Board Are
Guests of School Faculty At
Annual Banquet

The board of education was enter
tanned Friday evening by the faculty
of the city schools from 1880 to 10
o'clock, voted by all present as one
of the most delightful occasions of
the kind in the history of Americas
schools.
The Furlow Grammar soup kitch-
en- in the basement of the building
was attractively decorated with
handsome ferns and palms outlin-
ing the wall, with vases and bowls
of cut flowers on tables and pedes-
tails.
The snowy white tables were
placed to form the letter a." trac-
cry of vine trailing the center, out
lined with roses. At intervals tall
vases held handsome midwinter flow
ers, and benches were used for the
seats.
Unique place cards showed minia-
ture school states with a drawing of
some unmistakable characteristic.
Notably striking were those desig-
mated for George r. Ellis, who was
pictured as the champion golf play
er,while that of Elmore Poole de-
scribeda court house which he was
entering as chief executive.
Dainty little girls from the class
es served the delightful repast, while
handsome little pages assisted.
Upon entering the room, Miss Sa-
rah P. Cobb, principal of the Gram
mar school, took charge of the cere-
monies, telling the children" that
they would have to march around the
tables until their place cards were
found. Much merriment was Great
ed by this reversion to old school
days. g@4exI
C M. Hale, principal of the High
school, was toast master, and after
delivering a cordial welcome, sub

taking for his illustration the face

were asked. The prize was captur-

THE OMEN AN WOMAN.
B Y RUTH AGNES ABELING

1t was like her neither to ask for nor
to expect sympathy, and So
Katie didn't know; I'm sorry"
he spoke. @sfan
And that was all that was said be-
tween Kate Ward and her father
concerning the passing of Dan Ward.
A little later Kate walked alone
out in the garden where the holly
hooks grew tall and pink. On down
the little path she went toward the
cool, green dusk of the grove.
Il can forget here-and l can find
him again here" she murmured as
she rested against the soft moss at
the foot of huge oak.
There was in her heart a very def
mite happiness despite the loneh-
ness. Because Kate Ward knew that
she had come back, all the way back,
a little narrow, primitive path.
She remembered so we'll the night
she dropped out Of her bedroom Win
dow and started down the road. Re-
I membered the season that had fol-
lowed, the mad hit-or-miss days with
Elsie, until Dan Ward, in his car
passed the park bench on which she
| sat alone that morning.
The way down on that morning
hadn't been the glorious, free, rose
pink, candlelight way of the romano
ers imagination. 1t was little way,
Swallowed and uncertain, licked on
either side by the flame of a not vet
numbed conscience. A primitive way
steps rough-hewn by ruthless desire.
She had had to come back by that
same little way that she went-with
who loved her. She had known that
one burden added-doubt of the man
while he lived. Dan never felt quite
sure about her, but she felt that with
his passing he must understand.
I So, even in her loneliness, Kate
was happy because she was sure he
knew at length that her heart had
gone every step of the way back.
She smiled as she turned once
more toward the little house.
Her father stood in the door.
Katie" he said as she neared
there's someone here to see you."
