The recent jail-breaking at Ke
nansville, whereby eight negro
prisoners made their escape,
seems to have been pulled off
while the inmates were holding a
very loud prayer .meeting and
song service, which drowned the
noise of the tools being used in
making an exit hole. Only one
prisoner has been caught, and it
was he who revealed the mode of
escape. Jailers had better put
the soft pedal on their shouting
prisoners.

ters, wkereupon Elliott and
Moore set out to capture the high

The new primary in the Third
District, which is to settle the
claims of George E. Hood and
Charles R. Thomas for the Con

fee," levied by the executive
committee of the district. Sim
plification, adjustment and re
adjustment of election machinery
and methods are needed. Such a
price to pay for being a candi
date may well eliminate the best
man. Since the foregoing was
written Mr. Thomas has an
nounced his withdrawal, saying
he felt that he would not get a
square deal, as all the election
machinery was in the hands of
his opponents. It's been a rather
dirty mess all through the Third
District campaign and the victor
has little ground for satisfaction.
