FOR A VACATION.
British Parliament Prorogued,
Friday, by the King.
Premier Balfour Outlines Conditions
Of the Important Situations.
Kings Address Refers to Warm We'll
come While Abroad.

Londcn, Aug 14.--Both houses of
Parliament assembled, early today to
wind up the business of the ses-
sion in the House of Commons.
Several questions were asked relat-
ing to matters of international
interest, Premier Balfour in
general reply said there had been an
unexpected delay in the Venezuelan
question, which, however, was not due
to Great Britain or Germany, who had
taken parallel action. but the fact that
France and Spain objected to the use
Of the English language by that tribu-
fal. The question had been left TO the
tribunal itself to decide. He believed
the court whose members the Car had
been requested to nominate, would
meet on the date originally fixed.
Regarding the complaints that the
government was showing lack of
sympathy with Macedonia, Mr.. Balfour
pointed out that any of the deep
sources Of mischief was the dissensions
among the Christians. 1t was not the
Turk alone, deep as his guilt undoubt-
edly was, who was responsible for the
miserable conditions 1t would be folly
to forget that the Christians committed
atrocities on Christians. The govern
mert was still of the opinion that the
best policy was to support the Austro-
Russian endeavors to improve the ad-
mnistration.
Dealing with the protests against
puZZling the House on the fiscal con-
troversy, the premier said, he thought
there was no necessity fer undue hurry
in discussing the matter. There was
no pending fiscal question before
Parliament, nor would there be one
during the currency of the present
Parliament.
With u final fling from Winston
Churchill who seemed doubtful
whether the present Parliament would
meet again, and to characterize the
Prcmier's policy of transferring the fis-
cal discussion from Parliament to the
country rs that of a demagogue, the
sitting was suspended.
Subsequently the House was sum-
mcned to the House of Lords to hear
the Kings speech proroguing parlia-
ment read. The speech was of little
general or international interest. 1t
referred to the cordiality of His Majes-

SHOT IN HELMET.
Burglar Tries Revolver on a
Brunswick Officer.
One Hits His Hat and the Other Whis-
tied Near His Head.
No Plumber Secured and Both Burglars
Frightened Away.

Brunswick, Me, Aug. 14.-Officci
Alexander narrowly escaped death,
early today, at the hands of two bur
glars whom he discovered in a Main
street store. While chasing them six
shots We're fired at the officer, who
emptied his ive-shooter. One shot
struck the peak of the officers helmet
and others passed so close that he
heard them whistle.
The places entered were the grocery
stores of b. r. Jordan & Sons and H.
L. Emmons. At the Jordan store Sc in
money, eight revolvers and a quantity
of cartridges were taken. The bur-
glars were so well supplied that it is
supposed the reason they discontinued
firing was their fear of bringing REIN
forcements to the officer.

MOBILE MERCHANTS.
They Arrive too Late for Progress
to Give Full Details, but We
Shall Tomorrow.

The Mobile Merchants Excursion
not reaching Hattiesburg until p.
n3., rendered it impossible for us TO
give any of the details of their visit
today, our hour of going to press be-
ing 3 80, but full account, cover
ing every detail will appear in our
issue of tomorrow.
In another place we give the timer
ary and personnel of the excursion
from which it will be seen that Mo-
bile puts her best foot foremost in her
representation, the names showing
her most eminent business men.
There is no telling the good that
will come to this section as result
OF the comimngling of such repre-
sentative body of gentlemen with our
people, bent upon but one purpose,
that of courting closer business and
social relationship, and we trust that
not only every attention be given
them during their stay, but that they
be given assurance that from now
and henceforth the tie is made COM
plete to declare the two cities one and
inseperable in guarding the covenant
of mutual interests that has, hereto
fore BEEN growing, but not made COM
plete till now.
Thrice welcome, Mobilians. All
praise for the enterprise you show ;
the good feeling you manifest; the
sacrifice you make in being willing
to turn your interests loose to come
here and mingle with us in an effort
to further cause that means as much
for us as yourselves.
All praise, say we. and may your
fondest hopes be realized and the
coming years made brighter and more
prosperous and happy for You as re-
suit of your visit.

little or nothing for the work, and
yet he is morally compelled to take
it. By fixing a standard OF payment
for this class of work Mr.. Mser hopes
TO put an end to the practice of boards
in hawking the work about. and to
establish the relations between boards
and publishers on a more business-like
basis.
In the publishing of mortgage sales
Mr.. Maer hopes to give an especial
benefit to the poorer Glasses, as in a
great many instances at present the
posted notices of such sales are placed
in obscure corners and the holder Of
the mortgage Invariably p-earrangss
the sale on basis that will bring
him his money aud no more. With
wider publicity for each sale it is be-
lieved that larger crowds will be at
tracted. and fhe bidding thus made
livelier. The injustice of selling a
man out with no more publicity than
q card tackled upon an out of the way
door or wall, thus in effect preventing
open bidding for lands or stocks. has
resulted in tbs loss of untold millions
TO the small property owner. and will
continue to be source of loss to him

Prohibition the Issue

Jackson, Dec. 28.-The outcrop-
ping of the opposition to the proposed
constitutional amendment providing
for state prohibition are already being
manifested, .and the measure will be
the subject of spirited fight when it
comes before the legislature. Even
in the prohibition ranks some dissen-
tion is apparent. the claim being
made that it is safer to continue in
force the present local option meas
ures rather than incur the risk of lay
ing aside the weapons of war and be-
ing pulled in to fancied securely after
the constitutional amendment is
adopted by the people. 1t is further
asserted that moral training on the
subject of itinerancs would be neg
lscted by such an enactment, and that
the only way to keep alive an organ
lied opposition to the liquor habit is
by continuing fight against the ap-
petite for whiskey.

jackson, Dec. 2S. One week from
today the capital city will be filling
up with legislators to attend the Jan
uary session. which promises to be the
most notable that has heeu held in
Mississippi for many years
All arrangem snts have bean COM
pleted for the session. The prelimi-
naries will be brief. aud there will
be no interruption of the work on ac-
count of inaugural ceremonies 1r
public demonstrations. The law
makers can Immediately settle down
to work, and there is no reason why
the work should not be we'll under
way when the new governor is in-
Quoted into Office on the 10Th of jan
uary. Much interest naturally at
taches to the recommendations TO be
made by Governor Yardaman in his
inaugural massage but as the legisla-
ture can act on any subject at regular
sessions without executive recommen-
dation, the routine work can at once
be launched and carried through the
regular trend Many of the measu res
to be recommended by Governor Var
daman will doubtless he anticipated
in advance by bills introduced by va
rious members who are thoroughly
familiar with his views on leading
topics.
Many of the lawmakers have al
ready made arrangements for their
boarding house accommodations dur
ing the stay. Aside from the settle
ment of contests for minor offices,
very little business is expected during
the first week, and the daily sessions
will probably be quite short, consum-
ing only the forenoons.
The chief preliminary fight in pros
pect is over the Office of state libra
rian, for which several lady candi-
dates are in the field. This berth is
always productive of much trouble,
owing to the fact that the members
sometimes pledge themselves too fire.
quently, and therefore strenuously op-
pose an open ballot, either in caucus.
or when the election is brought in be-
fore the body proper.
The selection of two United States
Senators wilt be brief and informal
affair. No cauouses wilt be necessary.
and the usual course of taking three
ballots will attract little or no at
tention, owing to the fact that the
Legislators are already instructed by
their constituents the primary vote
being equivalent to an election.

PRICES THAT ARE LOW

While others are advertising great

1t has never been our policy to
sell our goods at two profits part
of the year and then mark them
down to a legitimate profit and
make big bluff and blow about
slaughter sale. We always try to
get fair profit, and never ask any
more.
However, during our invoice in
the Shoe department, we discovered
that we were overstocked in some
lines, and until these goods are sold
out we are making especially low
prices. If you need shoes it will
