This is the Proposition That is Being Offered Around the State House and Thus Far It Has Not Met With Any Takers. Daily News Special. Jackson. June 26.—State House poii _ ticians who are sportively inclined are ' | offerihg wagers at even money that five of the six Mississippi members of ■ congress who are candidates for re " | e i ec tlon will be endorsed by the vot in-1 i of at the August primaries and re j tain their seats for another two-year period. Ordinarily this would look like a long-shot proposition, but the confi dent manner in which certain men are offering to bet real money on their judgment has thus far prevented them from getting any takers. It is believed here that in some of the districts the races are not even going to be close enough to be inter esting. In the fourth district of course, a very lively interest has been aroused in the three-cornered contest, and the same is tfue of the second district, where there are six candidates \n the 5t field.

Tickets for the trip were issued on the same plan as those used in rail road traveling, and the fare is identi cal with that charged by the standard railways to the delegates who prefer traveling by rail. These tickets will be countersigned by the mayor of the various towns .through which the delegates pass. This is the first time in the history of American transportation that auto- mobiles have been utilized for long distance passenger service in compe- tiiion with trunk line railroads, and Committeeman Sullivan's selection of this novel method of travel for his delegates is a precedent. The tour- ing cars which will compose the train each will seat seven passengers, and are built on the same type of chassis as that of the war message car, which recently made an ardous trip with army despatches from Ney York to Fort Leavenworth, Kan. STATE GUARD JACKSON WILL SUBMIT INVITA TION TO THE MILITIA. Board of Trade Has Taken the Matter Under Sonsideratlon, and Will In vite the Soldiers to Hold Gathering Here. Their Daily News Special. Jackson, June 26.—Jackson is in the field to secure the annual encampment of the Mississippi National Guard, and of the Board of Trade is getting in read re- iness to submit a proposition to the military authorities to- capture the re a are of the the sub i event. Natchez has withdrawn her Invita tion, owing to the lack of available site. Thus far Gulfport has not indi cated her purpose to submit an offer. Columbus and Vicksburg, however, are putting forth strong eqfTortS to capture the event, and it is more than likely that the choice will narrow down be tween Vicksburg, Columbus and Jack son, unless Hattiesburg and Meridian should make up their minds to apply. The war department allowance of about $20,000 will become available after the 1st of July, and Adj-Gen. Fridge is busily engaged with the necessary preparations. It is expected that the encampment will be held dur the latter part of July. . DAVIDSON'S St . ao SALE S ATU RD AY. NEW RAILROAD BEING PROJECTED GOVERNOR NOEL HAS INCORPOR RATED THE ROAD. Will Be Built Through Kemper Coun ty and ife Promoted zy Home Cap italists—Will Open Up a Fine Farm and Timber Country. Jackson, June 26.—Gov. Noel today issued his proclamation authorizing the organization of another railroad The new line is to be a On |he west the company. branch of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad 1 and Is to be built In Kemper county. j It will be known ' as the "Sanoody I Valley Railroad Company," and pro poses to run from DeKalb, the county seat of Kemper county to Sucarnooche, a station on the Mobile & Ohio road. The line wilf be between 12 and 15 miles in length. DeKalb is almost In the exact geographical center of Kemp er county and Sucarnooche is about 12 miles distant on a bee line, and about 2 miles south of a direct east and west line. Kemper is one of -the largest counties in the state in area with an almost exclslvely white pop ulation and contains much splendid hardwood limber. At present It has only one railroad, the M. & O. which runs through the. extreme eastern side of the county). Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City road runs through the center of Neshoba, six miles from the west boundary of Kemper and 20 miles from DeKalb. The proposed line will give the county seat direct connection with the M. & O. greatly relieving its isolated con dition. The incorporators are Sam O. Bell, A. A. Overstreet, T. D. Stennis, T. A. Hopper and other citizens of the coun ty, and it is proposed to construct the line at once so as to have it in opera tion by the first of January next. While the line is promoted by local people, it is doubtless backed by the M. & O. which for the past two years has en I couraged the extenion of these branch lines into Mississippi and Ala bama.

Jackson, MIsb., June 26.—Chaplain Webb Brame, of the state penitentiary, expresses gratification at the success so far achieved in his effort to collect 'a good library at the Rankin farm, where most of the white convicts are kept This movement was started several weeks ago by an appeal to the people of the state to make such contributions of books and other literature as they felt inclined, and the result Is that more than 400 volumes have been col lected, many of them coming from in terested parties outside the state, as well as from those in Mississippi. There are more than 100 convicts in the penitentiary, with varying tastes and conditions of literacy, and Mr. Brame states that many more volumes could be used, and that It would be al most impossible to find a volume which would not be suitable or acceptable. A Sunday school has been estab lished at Rankin, with the wives of the chaplain and one of the sergeants as teachers, and about fifty members have been enrolled among the prisoners, no compulsion or over-persuasion being used to secure the memberships. Ser vices are held on Sunday afternoons, and the work Is being very successfully conducted. Born in Iowa.
