quently said that there was more good
things to eat on this occasion than
on any of the former occasions. It
is said that there was as much grub
carried away from the grounds as
was eaten.
1t is said to be the largest crowd
of people that ever assembled on
there grounds before, the number
ranging from five to seven thousands
of people. There was pretty strongly
represented at this great feast four
adjoining counties, Pamela, Tallahat-
chez, Grenada and Calhoun, besides
great number from other counties.
Old Yalobusha County turned out
a good force particularly so because
of her great field of candidates from
bailiff to sheriff.
Practically all the county candidat-
es had an opportunity to present their
claims to the voters of Yalobusha
County, as did two or three of the
state candidates and also Messrs w.
F. Hamilton and Richard Denman as
candidates for District Attorney for
the 18th. Judicial District of Missis-
sippi. Hon John L. Harris acting as
master of ceremonies. The speaking
began about 1890 a. m. and run up
to the noon hour when there was a
short time given for dinner. The
speaking started again about 100 p.
m. and closed about $3.50 p. m. all
candidates being limited to just
few minutes time. There was dane
ing pretty well all day and night
among the young people.
The music for the day was splindid
There were many amusements
throughout the day, where the entire
day was one of much Joy to all
present.
On occasion Of this kind there are
nearly always casualties, but fortu-
nately, there was only one accident
reported, which was Strong, Jr. of

PRECINCT CHANGES
ARE HELD ILLEGAL
Boards of Supervisors Disre-
gard Law, Atty.-Gen. Says.

Jacnson, Miss, July 5.-The attor-
ney general has been asked for an
opinion on the law governing the
proper place for persons 10 vote in
the August primaries, where the
board of supervisors has changed the
precinct lines within six months be-
fore the election. Under the law the
board is not authorized to change the
precinct lines within six months of
an election. Six months residence
in precinct is required before man
is entitled to vote in such precinct
changes the law was passed to prevent
changes in the precincts which would
place voters in new precincts less than
six months before election.
In cases where the supervisors have
disregarded the law and made such
changes, the voter has the right to
vote in his old precinct and there Is
question as to whether the votes
polfed in such new precinct would be.
legal. All Of these questions as to
the primary election law, should be
taken up with the county executive
committees whose decisions on such
matters are absolutely final and not
subject to any appeal to the courts.
The committees may authorize such
voters to vote in either precinct as
most convenient to the voter, and
when they count such votes that set
ties the matter. The supreme court
has already settled the question that
man does not lose his vote because
OF changes in the voting district
lines. He only loses it by voluntary
change of his residence from one vot-
ing precinct to another.

of negroes reported to the local police
tonight that they had paid a strange

hearing him tell of jobs at big

Pittsburg, Pa, together with passes
to the Pennsylvania city.

and nights at the railroad station at

self as an agent of the Detroit COM
pany. After waiting for two days they
decided they had missed the train.
One of them passed through last night
on his way north.
A new record in the exodus of ne
gro farm laborers to the industrial
centers of the north and east has
been established in the week just
passed, when more than 1900 passed
through Memphis bound for Chicago.
AAether record for a single day
was established yesterday when near
ly 600 left. They came from all points
in the Mississippi delta, from eastern
Arkansas and from Shelby County,
Tenn. They left on a special Illi-
nois Central train composed of seven
cars which departed from the Grand
Central Station at 8:20 o'clock last
night. Two carloads had been at
tached to Illinois Central train No.
a, leaving at 8 o'clock. The seven
cars represented "the overflow"
They had bought tickets to Chicago
but few of them knew what their ul-
innate destination was. Only ten ne
groes of the departing horde last
night were travelling on free trans
portation and had assurance of job
when they reached the promised
land" The remainder had paid their
fares. They are mainly. depending on
friends in Chicago, Gray, Ellwood,
Detroit, Mattoon and in the other in
dustrial and railroad centers Of the
middle west. They are going seeking
only the golden fleece.
where are you going," one from
the Mississippi delta was asked.
~ don't know where I'm goin, boss,
but Pes going to travel as long as
my money las" he replied.
"Where are your belongings, boy?"
another was asked.
"The stalment man done got 'em,"
was his pertinent reply.
Others left the fields because the
grass had got in the cotton, but most
of them were going, pound for some
unknown destination, where high
wages and little work are supposed
to abound.
One negro had a letter from
friend in Gray warning him to not
get mixed up with any labor agents.
When he left Memphis he gave labor
agent So. to get him a job at SO
day on a construction gang. He fin
ally found job at S9c an hour in
steel mill after he learned that the
Gray address the labor agent had
given him was bogus.
Many of the negroes who left last
night had their wives and families
with them. When the exodus first
began the negro men would leave first
and would have their wives follow.
The baggage cars on the pecial
and No. 4, were loaded to capacity
asst night. The negroes were taking all
their belongings. Early yesterday
they started arriving. AL
day they poured into the city until the
streets in the vicinity of the Grand

But few were left on the platform
