It was a very hard struggle yester
day at the primary election for county
and supreme court officials.
The former took (he precedence in
interest and the latter were hardly
given, recognition, for the returns
from ..the country districts hardly,
showed up the refol’ns for them.
It is a well known tart that the cau
didate4orßeprAeiitative, Hou. Joseph
diesis that had not
’ been allotted to him and that W. J.
Futral led the ticket for county com
missioners, as was predicted. W. W,
Champion has R. F. Strickland to
support him. It is an entirely new
board, and oue that is good as gold.
J. C. Brooks was re-elected as treas
urer, and there is no belter attribute
to his efficiency than the vote ha re
ceived.
Wm. Thomas, for clerk of the court,
had no opposition, for it would have
been useless, as he can never have suc
cessful opposition.
Harry Johnson, too, received a pop
ular vole and will be tax receiver by a
large majority.
Tom Nurt, without opposition, is tsx
collector, and he gets it every time he
wsuts it.
W. M. Holman is surveyor, and he
won it over A. B. Kell.
Uncle Jeiie Williams will continue
to administer on the last estate of man,
as he is now coroner. ~
Everything was as pleasant as could
be, and the candidates who received
Dominations made speeches that were
applauded.
y i The following in (he (otal vote as
far as it could be obtained last night,
though it is incomplete so far as the
judges and those who had no opposi
tion is concerned!

SHAFTERS TROOPS LAND.
THEY MEET WITH NO RESIST
ANCE FROM ENEMY.
Bear Admiral Sampson Shells the
Woods and Five Thousand Cubans
Assist the Americans.
Washington, June 23—General
Shatter has begun landing hie troops
on Cuban soil. This was stated in a
brief dispatch received by Secretary
Algor yesterday, which was as follows:
"Landing at Daiquiri this morning
successful. Very little if any resistance.
Shafter.”
Shortly after this dispatch was re
ceived,Secretary Long received a more
extended cablegram from Admiral
Sampson, which translated from the
navy department cipher, is as follows:
"Landing of the army is programing
favorably at Daiquiri. There is very
little if any resistance. The New Or
leans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp and Bu»>
wanee shelled the vicinity before land
ing. We made a demonstration at
Cabanas, to engage the attention of
the enemy. The Texaa engaged the
west battery for some hours. She had
one man killed. Ten submarine mines
have been recovered from the channel
of Guantanamo. Communication by
telegraph has been established at
Guantanamo. Sampson."
Admiral Sampson’s dispatch . indh
cated that he was carrying out hia in
structions thoroughly to clear away
for the landing of troops. The demon
stration which he made with the Tex
as before Cabanas, which is just east
of Guantanamo, may easily have led
the Spaniards to suppose (hat a gen
eral landing was to be attempted in
that immediate vicinity.
It waa evident from the text of Ad
miral Sampsonki dispatch that a con
siderable landing had already been
effected pear Guantanamo, as he no
ted that communication by telegraph
bad been re-establiebed at that point
and that the channel bad been cleared
of submarine mines. Io the opinion
of naval tfffid«WTWg"hnidifig at Guan
tanamo was the matinee rather than
of land forces.
A week after the United States
troops left Tortngas, they began to
disembark on Cuban soil, landing in
formation at two points, so as to at*
tack Santiago in the rear and at the
aides, with the navy to help the work
in front. Thus the military invasion
of Cuba may be said to have begun,
for though the United States marines
were the first of the regular forces to
land upon Cuban soil, their
purpose was not, after all, invasion,but
the establishment of a naval base and
a base for a cable station, in which
they were eminently successful. To
the regular troops was left the begin
ning of the formidable task of invad
ing Cuba in force by land.
Willi the beginning of lift military
movement the navy will draw close in
shore to pound away at the forte at
the entrance, and draw the cordon of
warships so closely around the mouth
as to make it impossible for Cervera’s
vessels to escape, even if they are dis
posed to take the most desperate
chances,
NEW ORLEANS POLITENESS.
Kight Men Help • Stranger to Find a
House at Might.
“I was given a good example of south
ern politeness the other night, ” said,a
gentleman from the north. “I had gcQfi
to the Comas ball and had agreed to es-'
cort a lady home. She was also a stran
ger in the city and was stopping with
some friends on Bourbon street, about
three blocks the other side of the opera
house. As it was only a short distance
we decided to walk. I was of course
totally unacquainted with the street
and when we left the lights of the opera
house I felt very much at sea. The
houses were dark and I could not see
the numbers, and it was only by the
number that the lady could identify her
boarding place, as she had only been
there once.
“Ahead of me was a small man. I
asked him if he knew where the num
ber was. He answered very politely
that he did not, but was going that way
and would help me hunt. He told an
other man in front of him about it, and
that man told some of his friends. In a
few minntes the gentlemen had formed
an advanne guard in our interest. We
walked calmly behind while they went
in front, on either side of the street,
striking matches and looking for the
number. There were eight of them, and
their matches would go off one after the
other. It was a regular flambeau parade.
I was overcome. 'Here it is,’ shouted
an advance scout
“We approached the house rapidly
and found the eight gentlemen standing
before it. It was almost w..a emotion
that I raised my hat and thanked them
for their efforts. 'Nothing at all, they
■sid nolitely, and the entire eight raised
their hats and walked into the dark
ness.’’—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

CEBVEBA KISSED HOBSON
The Brave American Tried to Fight
His Way Back to Sampson-
A dispatch to The New York Press
from Albany, N. Y., says, according to
the story related by James Myers of
the flagship New York, io a letter
written to a friend in Troy, Admiral
Cervera kissed Hobson and hie asso
ciates of tbe Merrimac for their brav
ery. Mr. Myers’ letter io part fol
lows :.
‘Hobsop and his men fought brave
ly to cut t'heir way back to us, killing
many Spaniards; but the tide was too
strong and they were carried . shores
ward and taken prisoners of war.
"The Spanish captain of tbe Cristo
bal Colon came to this ship bearing a
flag of truce and told the admiral that
all our men were alive, but without
clothes We sent them clothes, pro
visions and money. He also said that
our men fought like demons and kill
ed many of their men; that the Span*
ish admiral said be never saw / such
bravery and kissed every xme <if them
on the forehead.
“Everybody is admiring the pluck
of the Spaniards, as the odds are all
against them. They have no food,
clothes or way of being helped, yet
they will not give in. However, in
another woek wo will take it without
the loss of blood by having them ear
render or will kill every Spaniard on
the island. We are in it for fair, and
will hold up Old Glozy in spite of every
human feeling. The Spaniards have
been cruel to our boys of tbs Maine,
and now we will show them what jus
tice, is and give them a little of Uncle
Sam’s wrath. '
‘By tbe way, when tbe Merrimac
was going into the harbor to its doom
s big flag with ‘Maine’ printed on it,
was on tbe foremast. The poor Span
ards must have felt sore to see that
we never forget!"
THE INDULGENT FATHER.

“Speddwcff inrinlguntfAtherw “
Colonel Calliper, “reminds me of an
old friend of mine named Silas Zirig
tock, who formerly lived in Starkville
Centro, Vt Once when hisClittle son
Rufus wanted very much to fly a kite
at a time when he was not well enough
to be permitted to go out Mr. Zingtock
rigged up a contrivance whereby the
youngster’s desire could be gratified in
the house. He set up a blower in the
back parlor, belted it to an engine in
the cellar below, and when everything
was all ready he started the fan and
produced a current of air that was
ample to float a kite.
"It was great fun for young Rufus to
sit in the back parlor and fly his kite
in the front, and for a time everything
went all right, but on an unfortunate
day Busy, not satisfied with the amount
of wind the fan was blowing, undertook
to make it blow harder, which is some
thing that Mr. Zingtock had expressly
forbidden. It seems that the blower and
the boiler and machinery were all much
larger than were needed to produce a
breezq sufficient to float a kite here, but
Mr. Zingtock, who, though rich, was
also thrifty, had had a chance to buy
this plant second hand cheaper than a
new plant of smaller size would have
cost, and so he took it and had it set
up, and every morning he used to adjust
it‘so that it would not go above a cer
tain speed, and several times he had
cautioned his son never to touch it.
“About one minute after Rufus did
touch it on this morning when he want
ed it to blow harder the big facNras go-'
fffg at a gait that set up a hurricane in
the parlors. It blew the kite against one
of the windows and broke that the first
thing, and within a miaute the pictures
were off the walls and their glasses
smashed, tables were upset, bric-a-brac
was knocked into flinders, aqd the
whole parlor was a wreck, with the big
blower going at top speed and churning
everything there into fragments /md
blowing the debris out of the windows.
* * That ended the father’s indulgence. ’’

THE SIAMESE GIRL.
Her Oarmenta Are Soanty, and She Is aa
Inveterate Smoker.
From the moment of her birth a Si
amese girl is treated with less consider
ation man a boy. For several years aft
er quilting the realms of “babyland"
she drmses vwy slightly indeed (I refer
more particularly to the lower classes,
though the rule applies more or less
generally). Next she adopts the sarong,
or waist cloth, and on top of this is
placed a bright colored scarf of consid
erable, length and breadth, which Is cus
tomarily crossed and recrossed over the
breast and under the arms. These two
garments constitute the whole of a Si
amese girl’s wearing apparel unless she
chance to wear a scanty vest of linen.
Bings and bracelets are inevitable, pro
vided she be of class enough to afford
them, and hi a few cases the costume is
finished off with a 'flimsy pair of }Up
pers, into which the stockingless feet
are thrust.
The avenge Siamese girl is an invet
erate smoker of cigarettes from a very
tender age. When quite a baby, too,
she, in common with' the rest of the
population, is taught to chew the leaf
and nut of -the betel palm—at least
shedees not require to be “taught" this
unlovsiy bnt (if we may bfgleve what
we we) fascinating pastime. Since,
however, t she knows full well that she
will be esteemed passee, not to say an
cient, at the agq,of 30 she concentrates
the whole of her intellect upon the seri
ous business of either entering the pal
ace m getting married. But it it be the
latter, the marriage in Siamese middle
aMUpper elans life la the mart elabo
rate function that an English girl could
imagine. The negotiation—what we
should term the "courting"—is gener
ally conducted in the first instance
through an old beldame. It is this old
woman’s business to discover among
other things whether the “stars in their
courses" are propitious toward the hap
py event and whether the respective
birthdays of the bride and bridegroom
fall suitably to the date fixed for their
union, tor in all sueh matters the Si
amese would appear to be even more su
perstitious than their Buddhist belief
might reasonably be expected to make
them.—■ Gentleman’s Magazine.
