THE COURT HOUSE.

There is always peculiarly weird
charm attendant upon a visit 10 q
court house during vacation season.
between cou1ts-causing feelings, as
one views the empty benches and
silent auditorium that no other
words so forcibly describe as the
couplet:
] feel as one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted. "
The judges stand showing a vacant
chair, and the jury row Of benches
all silent witnesses of the eloquence
and pathos poured out in many past
forensic battles tend to lend sadness to
ones thoughts and especially so when
some dear mother is remembered
whose son perhaps had faced the bar
of justice here.
The court house Of old Perry,
situated here, caused just such feel
ings as are described during a visit
of the wrir3r there the other day,
it being his first visit.
And the old Jail HARDLY, as it was
viewed from the window, brought to
memory a legend which once showed
above the entrance door of cell of a
prison in the old penitentlary at
Jackson" Who enters here leaves
hope behind" and this thought inten-
sified the solemnity of the hour.

opening of the house, the prices will
be a little higher than those of most
later occasions. After the regular

range from the popular price shows
Mt ten, twenty, and thirty cents TO
some as high as $3.50 for the lower
floors. Let every one turn out on

CURFEW LAW.

A subject which is now engaging
the attention of sociologists, Grimm
ologists and theologians is that of the
enormous growth and prevalence of
depravity among youths. 1t is we'll
known fact that youths of very tender
ages often commit crimes which i'll
atrocity and villiany could only be
equaled by the most hardened crimi-
mails, and it is very frequently the
case that these boys have as parents
che most respected citizens Of their
community. While Hattiesburg, in
this respect, has gained the reputa-
tion of having some of the worst boys
of any town in the state, and while
the criminal records show that this
reputation is being sustained by the
recent large number of crimes by our
youths, still there are great many
of as good boys in this city as can be
found anywhere, and a determined
effort is being made by our citizens
to suppress those criminally inclined.
On several occasions the adoption of
a curfew law has been agitated. and
is being done so now, but it may be
that the passage of this ordinance
would have an entirely different
effect from the one intended. In
fact, it is now contended by those
who make the development of Grim
.inals study, that it tends to increase
rather than decrease the percentage
Of crime. The following dispatch
from Austin, Texas gives the princi-
pal argument against the curfew law
and the citizens of Hattiesburg who
are urging the adoption OF such would
do we'll to think over the subject
The dispatch says:
Mayor Whire has vetoed the cur
few ordinance recently adopted by
the council He took occasion to say
that the proposed city law was in
reality, means toward increasing
the class of young criminals, for boys
and girls who would be locked up on
the charge of violating such law
would lose all respect tor other laws,
and would in addition receive GRIM

1t is predicted that inasmuoh as
many of those were in the first pri-

mated or defeated, that the interest in
the second primary will fail to bring
out the crowds to the polls that the
first did, and, consequently, nothing
like as large vote will be p0lled.

his intention Of making the race for
