Hinds County Whisky Men Fight Local Option Tactics
A prohibitionists conference in the city declares plans to block a whisky petition by disqualifying petitioners and seeking withdrawals. They cite a legal opinion that the state and county primary constitutes an election, potentially barring a local option vote within sixty days. The Board of Supervisors may be urged to refuse the petition, and an injunction is being drafted, making an election this year unlikely. The report also notes other local items including a 14 inch roasting ear, a plan for an iron bridge over the Bogue Chitto river, and a July 14 special city election with two candidates.

The Champion Blowhard in the Vicksburg Herald
A letter signed Observer claims Lincoln County for Money and Vardaman and predicts Lawrence against Longino. The piece notes a picnic at Bogue Chitto on the 4th and dismisses Observer as a blowhard, suggesting Money and Vardaman rely on hot air if Lincoln and Lawrence are their best shows.
