Miss July 18, Tie county convention to send dele- 'es to the state convention will meet Haymond to-morrow. It 1 certain that Jome resolutions? indorsing Colonel A. Montgomery, of Binds soldier, zen. neighbor, friend and legislator, in candidate -for tie Democratic -I nation for governor, and commend- fclm to the state convention, will be iuslastJcally adopted. There axe a Somber of candidates from Binds nty for stats offices, and It Is Quite -ly that the convention will select a nation which will vote In turn for a one of tha Binds county candidates tie state convention.

Indications point a well-attended convention at Bay-ad to-morrow. Some of the delegates a Jackson left this afternoon for Bay-ad, where they will spend the night her than start from here on the freight la the morning, which would aeces- ite very early rising. Binds county convention Is as-rled under a call of the county ex- itive committee. This call allowed Slo -sons, whose names are stricken from whisky petition, becanse of a fail- to pay poll tax or other constltution-Ciaquailncatlons. to vote, while the 1 for a state convention by the state cutive committee provided that none qualified electors should participate the selection of delegates to the state -vntlon.

It Is not likely, since there 1 be no contesting delegation from is county, that the state convention .1 refuse to seat the seven delegates Binds county, sent np In defiance the-order of the state executive eom-ittee, that none but qualified electors uia. participate in the seieetion of dele tee to the state convention, which vision tracked the law and the constu rion, "oat If there should be a contest delegation the convention assembled ier the caH of the state executive whoa mandate the Hinds county utrve committee wholly disregarded, 1 not do otherwise than refuse to. the delegates to toe so chosen at mend to-morrow. allow persons who do 9 not think of their eitisenshlp to qualify selves by paying a poll tax or other-, to rote In- the primaries, where kill the votes of citizens who do themselves by -paying their poll and contribute otherwise to the sup-t of government Is a travesty and a la one ward In town there li q-narifled electors and 206 who not qualified electors.

As both, Me-Lsurtn and his supporters la this county claim that a vote for Allen or anybody else than McLaurln was a vote against him, the majority of the people of the county either voted against Win- -as would have been shown by. the Wlll-lama vote, if they had been counted, or some voted blank for United States senator, and we do not think that any. did that. Governor McLaurln owes the success In this county in the primary election not to the votes cast la the primary election, it to the refusal of the executive committee to examine the votes and eltates senator, which the manageranad not eoaaiea wr injouui imm were known to have been cast for Williams." Msyor Todd has already tacked a number of blind tiger pelts on the city hall wall, and the hunt continues. A number of convictions have been had and fin-s Imposed by Police Justice Wharton and Chief of Police Kwlng and his corps of subordinates are chasing the tiger so persistently that life blind tiger fife at least is being made anything but a bed of rosea for him.

Mayor Todd is receiving unstinted pralae from the best people of the city and the people ot Mississippi may confidently rely upon the fact, that the blind tiger traffic In their capital city (a to be suppressed, for Mayor Too a nas said it snouia oe, ana ne has the abilltr and the courage to en force its suDDreaalon. and. having said that it should be suppressed, his word may be taken as if it were nis oono. It Is learned that the verr heavy rain which fell toere vesterdar afternoon, ac companied by severe wind and very heavy thunder, was very ugnt west or tne city, being only a small ahower In the west ern suburbs. At noon to-day there was some heavy thunderings and rain followed, which it is hoped wss quite general, since only one or two rains of any Importance have fallen since spring.

The gardens and crops have suffered greet-Iv for want of rain. In many laces being so hard that plowing waa impossible. The summer la fast sHnolng away, and the oeoDle of the capital city continue to anxiously await the creaking dirt for the sewerage system. The bonds have been sold, the money, some 1110,000, principal and premium, is on band and the delay ought to do cut as snort as poasioie. oomoatlble with nrooer olans and soecl- ficaflons.

Sewerage will be a great thing for the capital city, and the sooner it materialises the better It will be for the health and wealth and comfort of the cltUena and taxpayers of this community. State street since the rains of yester day and to-day, where excavations have been made to conform to the electric rail road track, are almost Impassable The niie clav at these nieces will almost stall an empty vehicle, and, unless gravel Is put on and the streets put in good condition before the winter rains set In, wnerever excavations nave occurreo dosis will perhspa be needed if the street Is used this winter. The second day's lay of the Mississippi State Chess Association's annual tournament was held to-day. The result cannot yet be nnounced, as all games have not been played. To-morrow will bo the closing day of the tournament.

To-morrow 'night at 8 o'clock, at the capitol trail ding, will be held the most interesting feature of the session, when Judge Leon Labatt, of New Orleans, by special invitation, will engage twenty or more players in simultaneous plsy.

Geo. 8. Gardner, of Laurel, Miss. But the purpose of that secret gathering baa at lest leaked out, snd it proves to be of vast Importance to the mlllmen of these two states. Perhaps nothing baa come up In recent years that concerns the lumber people so vitally.

It la, la just a word, that the railroads of tbe south have been looking upon this great era of prosperity among tbe mill- men with an envious eye, and they have decided to get some of the cream themselves. They have about determined to advance the freight rates xn lumber cents per 100 feet. It Is farther alleged that. the freight and traffic representatives of these roads will bold a meeting In Virginia In. a few days for the purpose of passing on this sweeping dec- laration.

Some of the road nave- ob jected to. the proposed advance 1m rates, but the majority are believed to favor tha'' move; end will attempt to push it through. 'i; They argue that the mlllmen are making mints of bard coin this year; and that there Is no reason why tne transportation lines should not get more out of this seaaon of prosperity than they did when the lumber business waa flat and the mills scarcely making a livelihood, --Cv Anyway, it is stated upon the best of authority, that the secret session of the mill owners and operators in the Grune-wald Hotel one afternoon waa for the purpose of setting on foot's movement to fight the proposed The fight la now well under way, and strong pressure-la being brought to bear on the transportation lines. Tbe lumbermen will get together again In a few days, and It la said the meeting will held at Hotel Grunewald. The date has not been set.

English, how would tbeS-cent raise in rates affect the price of lumber to the general public was asked of one of the members who attended the meeting at the Grunewald yesterday afternoon, soon after he got in town. he price 7" he said; "It would raise the rnnl nrio of lumber tO the consumers about $1 on the thousand sect. -Ajiat. may -not seem to yon, at a glance, but If will get down and figure out some big order you will soon catch the enormity of the thins, it niii tnam the extra expendi ture of thousands upon thousands of dol lars in a very short time.
