twice much space as should be needed,

are in some shelves three deep, and there

opportunity to demonstrate to members of
the Legislature the urgency of the library s
need for new shelving.

which go to make one of the most peculiar
cases which the police department has met
for some time. 1t was learned that Friday
afternoon Mrs. Sarah Smith, an aged wom-
an, died at that number. Her friends and
relatives made the complaint. Below the
room a restaurant and confectionery store
was being moved in and there was, con-
sequently, a great deal of noise. The rela-

of the incoming store and requested them
to be quiet, as Mrs Smith was dying and

relatives say no attention was paid to the
request and that the old woman died with
the noise going on. They requested the pro-
prietors again to desist. but failing to OBJ

notified. The officers learned that Mrs. f..
Wilson and. John Buck were putting in the
fixtures for the new store. Mr. BUCK, when

promise. The officers departed after request

Saturday night the same off1cers received
a similar order to that of Friday night.
Again they went to the number given. The
relatives of Mrs. Smith said the noise had
continued all day, louder than ever. The
officers went to Mrs. Wilson and demanded
an explanation, She replied that she had
paid her rent and If the family upstairs
had any objection they could come down
and pay her rent. The officers were at a
loss to know what to do. There was no
charge to make against the proprietors of
the restaurant, There was nothing to pre-

brookhaven Citizen.
The ~Pascagoula DEMocgAr.STAR.
edited by Col. y. X. Mayors, one OF
the fathers OF the Mississippi Press
Association, copies our article in re.
gard to the 'cpt-throat" brethren OF
the press, calling on the loyal members
OF the Association for action in regard
TO this crowd.
The Citizen Is glad TO see its war on
this crowd endorsed by such journals
as the DEMOCRAT-STAR, and we wish
TO state that 0ur actions IN this mat
ter is not from a desire to reap revenge
for a loss of legal work, etc. as our
columns will show, but purely from
the standpoint Of principles. Our
columns could have been full Of the
same announcements that the other
papers OF this town have had we
adopted the "cut-rate' system. but we
had the principles to stand by the
Association rules, and as for dollars
and cents we are as well off as the
balance.
We had the preference over the press
here on a legal advertisement and be-
cause we declined to publish it at a
rate cheaper than the price fixed by
law it went elsewhere and was pub
lished at a "cut-rate" price.
The Citizen was established on
principles that could not be bought
nor muzzled for the sake of money, it
has fought its battles on that line and
will continue to do so, believeing the
people who are made Of the same
metal will stand by 1t, and we are here
to stay on no other ticket.
Can all the State press say and prove
this? M. Then let those who can not
be denied the privilege Of enjoying the
hospitality of the Biloxi people in
May. We have not attended a meeting
Of the Association IN several, years.
but we have and will stand by its
rules, let the result be what it may.
Let the balance of the State press dc
the same and all will prosper.
