J.S. KELLEYSAW
MILL BURNED

Sunday evening the J. S. Kelley
Saw Mill, located on Mr.. A. T. Kel-
ley's farm this side of Paris, caught
fire and burned most of the mill be-
fore help arrived and got the flames
under control.
The mill had been in operation Fri
day, and Mr.. Kelley believes spark
must have lodged in the saw-dust and
held smothered fire until Sunday
evening when it broke into flames and
spread to the mill machinery. Prac-
tically all the sawmill plant except
engine and boiler was destroyed.
There was no insurance on the
outfit. Mr.. Kelley had about $4,000
feet of sawed lumber stacked near
the mill, which, fortunately, was
not destroyed by the fire.

SENATOR VARDAMAN
MAKES STATEMENT

MIR. Vardaman gave out the
following statement;
To my friends;
The good men and women
of this state have been most
generous to me in their loyal
and unsel6sh support. l have
no means of repaying them
except to extend to them a
heart full Of love and my sin-
cere thanks. May God bless
the people of Mississippi and
exercise his divine influence
in the solution of the many
problems which confront
them in this critical hour.
want to ask that my
friends continue their efforts
in the race. IL Is my delib-
crate judgment that we have
the race won by an over
whelming majority, il the
vote shall be registered.
Cordially and sincerely,
Your friend,
James X. VardamAn.

Vardaman claim that they will get
the bulk of the Kearney vote, but
Miss Kearney has said that Stephens
was not big enough for the Senate,
and as Stephens opposed woman suf-
frage, and Vardaman voted for it
it is right and natural that the Kearn-
ey vote should go to the latter.
In 1912 Vardaman got majority
over the field and went in without a
runoff. Some say that he will now
take the stump in spite of the con-
dition of his teeth.
d:tior of his teeth.
Late returns from the Fifth district
indicate that Ross Collins is having
the run of his life for reelection to
Congress. Collins headquarters are
claiming they need only 100 votes
to give him majority, and Leake
County is expected to furnish them.
DR.. B. G. Lowrey came through
with a good victory in the Second.
The Commercial Appeals figures
show that he was renominated over
A. C. Anderson by about 1,100 votes.
The Vardaman Campaign Com
mittee gave out the following:
Senator Vardaman will win in
the second primary if he only gets
one out of three votes received by
Miss Kearney, but, as a matter of
fact, he will receive majority of
these votes, and will win, therefore,
by a considerable majority.
"We assure the friends of Senator
Vardaman that his nomination is a
practical certainty, because we know
he is the choice of the real Democrats
of Mississippi"

s,O25 1909 e,s2s

Complete returns from every
one of the 80 counties in Mis-
sippi gathered on Wednesday
night by the Commercial APP
peal definitely places Ex-Sena-
tor James X. Vardaman be-
tween 5000 and 1000 votes
ahead of Hubert Stephens in
the race for the Democratic
nomination for the United
States Senate.
The Commercial Appeal has
tabulated returns from so coun-
ties and through its correspond
ents has virtually complete fig
ures from the other 80. This
tabulation gives the following
totals:
Vardaman -------69,O68
Stephens s---------62,601
Miss Kearney-----16,793
This gives Vardaman a lead
over Stephens Of 6,667 votes.
The same figures give the total
vote as 148,462. 1t may be
that in the windup the total will
run around 1000 votes more,
though the entire state vote is
complete with the exception of
a dozen or so precincts. These
are located in two ORG counties
several hundred miles from
Memphis.
Vardaman 80 Per Cent
The first is now in the run off. An
analysis of the table of figures shows
that Vardaman got as per cent of
the total, Stephens az per cent, and
Miss Kearney got IL per cent. I'm
der the Mississippi primary law, the
successful candidate must, in order
to win in the first primary, get a
clear majority of all the votes cast,
or so per cent.
Miss Kearney made vigorous fight
on both the candidates.

man and Candidate Stephens will be
clearly drawn Both Stephens and

GOV. RUSSELL AGAIN
SUED FOR 100000
Frances Birkhec d Institutes
Action in u. S. Court at Ok
ford. Sensational Damage
Suit Against Mississippi Ex-
ecutive Takes a New Turn.

Frances Birkhead carried her dam
age suit against Gov. Lee M. Russell
into the federal court again yester-
day when her attorneys filed bill
at Oxford, containing practically tn,
same allegations as those in the suit
filed in the Jackson district last
winter.
Service upon the governor was OBJ
tained in Oxford Tuesday morning,
when he arrived at his home to cast
his vote in the Democratic primary.
The bill was filed upon a pauper's
oath made by the plaintiff, which
eliminates the troublesome item of a
cost bond.
The new suit will be called at the
December term of the court for the
northern district of Mississippi, which
will be convened in Oxford on the 1st
Monday in December by Judge Err
win Holmes.
The filing of the new bill in the fed
eral court came as a surprise both to
the governor and his friends.
Following the dismissal of the orig
inal proceeding at Jackson by Judge
Holmes last May, the governors for
mer stenographer filed her bill in
the Kinds County circuit court. How
ever it was only formal filing of the
declaration and subpoenas to answer
the complaint was never served on
the governor.
This suit is set for trial on Sept.
18 and its fate is problematical in
view of the new proceeding instituted
at Oxford Tuesday. The natural con-
clusion is that Miss Birkhead viii tt
a non-suit in the circuit court and
prosecute the case at Oxford. How
ever, the governors accuser has not
devulged the course she intends to
pursue.
The suit filed Tuesday is the third
case brought by Miss Birkhead against
the governor in less than a year.
The original suit for 100000
damages on charges of seduction, was
filed at Jackson, in the southern dis
trict of the state. This action was
dismissed by Judge Holmes on the
ground that it was laid in the wrong
venue. In an oral opinion in which
he established the governors legal
residence at Oxford, Judge Holmes
held that the bill should have been
filed either in the northern district of
Mississippi or the New Orleans dis
trict of Louisiana, the latter being the
place of the plaintiffs residence.
Some weeks after thee case was
thrown out Of the Federal court at
Jackson, Miss Birkhead's attorneys
filed the bill in the circuit court of
Kinds County.
Now the case is pending on two
suits in state and federal courts.

The north Mississippi herald., 1922-08-18

According to the Commercial
Appeal tabulations of returns from
the Fourth Congressional District,
Busby seemingly has won the nomina-
ton over Sisson, Semmelman and
Miller.
Following is the result as given in
the Commercial Appeal:
The north Mississippi herald., 1922-08-18

No exact estimate of the number of
miners who will be put back to work
under the settlement was obtainable
but varied between $4,000 and 75,-
600 men. Altogether there are $780,
600 soft coal miners on strike, union
officials said. 1t is expected by them
that the operators will accept the
settlement effected, but meanwhile
the strike will continue at their mines.
The terms of the settlement mark
breakdown in the system of col
lective bargaining that has grown up
in the soft coal industry since 1884.
1t means the abandonment, for the
present at least, of the central COM
petitive field, comprising western
Pennsylvania, Ohio; Indiana, and
Illinois, as the basis for fixing wages
in fields outside the four states. In
the past, wage contracts have been
made for the competitive fields and
those of outlying districts have been
fixed on the basis Of the central field
