Ordinarily this would look like a
long-shot proposition, but the confi

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,

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.

l
Dally News Special.
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.

Our family were all born and raised
