20G5 TAX ASSESSOR Barnes, 3011 McCain, 3750 COUTNTY ATTORNEY Lawless, 4499 Rawls, 2159 ColumbiaOusinQ: In Sssend There is a lull in political activity in Columbia The candidates who will be in the second primary are regrouping their forces preparatory to the last lap of the drive for election. Whether they won or lost, candidates are this week expressing their appreciation to the voters You hear of all kinds of shifts and re-alignments, depending upon who is talking In one group you will hear that all of Barnett's, Wright's and Mrs. Cain's supporters are now in the Coleman camp. But if you listen you will hear from others that alrof these voters'have joined forces to elect Johnson Our guess is that some, of them will go one way and others wlil go another. One would think, however, that Johnson came nearer polling his full strength in- the first, than did Coleman.

There is no doubt that Coleman received a world of the so-called "silent votes" referred to so often just before the first primary Only three county wide officials are to be elected Sheriff, Circuit Clerk and Superintendent of Education. Like the governor's race, each of these will be close because the candidates are all good men. It's just a matter of which ones the voters prefer The writer lost several votes, but won a few Our choice for Governor ran third. But we are democratic, and will support the man elected on every phase of his program we think good for Mis sissippi. Columbian Hugh White has been the subject of more newspaper col umns of copy perhaps, than any other citizen.

Among the latest features on him is the following, from the Jackson Daily News: Governor Hugh White is a man without a home. In January he will be a man with out a political job. In the present political campaign he is a man of silence without words on either side. "I am taking no part in this" campaign," he said Monday. The Governor and Mrs.

White sold their lovely family home in Columbia which he said "puts me out of the real estate business." He said he "would like to move to Jackson if he can find a suitable piece of property." Next January the Governor will bring down the curtain on a politi cal career that began when he first ran for governor in 1931 and was defeated in the second primary by Mike Conner. 'White suffered second defeat when he lost a try for a U. S. Senate seat to the late Gov. Theodore G.

Bilbo. Gov. White was elected to the chief executives chair for the first time in 1936 and again in 1951. Speaking of his Columbia home, the Governor explained that ha sold it because "it has no bedrooms on the first floor and I don't want to spend the rest of my life climbing stairs one leg at a time." The Governor injured his left leg in a fall two years ago and has used a walking cane since that time. He said the Columbia house, which he sold recently "for a good price," was not suitable for installation of an elevator, but he described the structure which was built in 1926 as "one of the best built houses in Missisisppi." It is built of choice long leaf pine lumber.

He said his only claim on the 24-acre site at Columbia was "for six camellia bushes which I rooted." As to his plans for the future, the Governor hinted he might "Travel quite a bit" and he hinted that a' trip abroad may be in his future plans. "All' I want to do now is to devote my full time to the State of Mississippi," the 73-year-old Governor said. He said he will leave office in January with "the financial condition of the state in good shape." "We have six or seven millions dollars in the state treasury and all notes are paid. The next payments coming up are the homestead exemption and school funds in October and we'll be ready for them." Trip Home By Car WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Stennis (D-Miss.) left by automobile Tuesday for a leisurely trip to his home at DeKalb, Miss.

He expects to reach there Thursday or riday of next week. Two other members of the Mis sissippi congressional delegation remain in Washington Reps. Williams arid Smith, Democrats but both plan to return to Missis sippi in the near future. Williams said he will laave later this-week. Smith expects to depart about Aug.

Philippine Gold Mines Losing Money MANILA (AP) The once flourishing gold mines of the Phil ippines have fallen on evil days. Three closed last year, leaving only 11 operating.
