THE NEW WHITE HOUSE
CHANGES MADE IN REMODELLING THE
HISTORIC MANSION.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The new White House,
which has been in contemplation since the days
of Lincoln. has at last been achieved.
There is little about the interior of the his
toric mansion to suggest the oldtime conditions,
and even the exterior has taken on a changed
appearance, sandwiched, it is, between the
newly finished east and west terraces, and
with its spick and span little office where a
green hill used to be. The first step through
the main entrance is enough to bewilder the
most intimate of former visitors, so radical are
the changes which have been made. The i'm
posing lobby. with its massive white columns
and buff walls gives reminder of the odtime

The Electric Meter System.

To the People of Brookhaven:
The electric meters are on hand and
the superintendent is ready to wire
them in. A circular letter, inclosing
an application, has been mailed to each
subscriber who has five lights and
over. The policy of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen is to furnish me-
tiers to subscribers who now patronize
the plant, and this proposition is open
to July LIST. There are numbers of
people who desire lights who cannot
be furnished with them now because
the plant is already overloaded. When
all subscriptions are in for meters,
after July LIST, any persons desiring
lights may apply to the city clerk who
will furnish such parties with the
necessary application blanks, and the
first to come will be the first to be
served, if in the opinion of the super
intendent any more lights can be put
upon the plant. Every subscriber is
ton desired on the subject will be
cheerfully furnished by the mayor, the
collector, the superintendent or any
member of the Board of Aldermen.
You can make your light bill small or
large. Economy will be rewarded by
a small bill at the end of the mouth,
and extravaganza in the use of lights
will show on the meter. You can
economic by the use of smaller candle
power lights, by use of best lights, and
by turning out lights not in actual use.
Study your meter, formulate system
of economy, and you will be more than
pleased with the change.
Respectfully,
II. CASSIDY,
City Clerk.

A DAY AT MT. PLEASANT.
Educational Rally-C Candidates and
Speeches Galore.

Editor Leader:
Friday, the 18th inst, was one
large day for Mt. Pleasant school
folks. The political-school picnic
and school commencement rolled
into one pill and sugar coated by
the Auburn High School band,
was swallowed by the big con-
course of people with perfect
amiability and sweetness. The
crowds came in carriages, wag-
ons, ox-carts and astride shank's
horses. The spacious grounds
contained several solid acres of
humanity and took on some of the
characteristics of a Donnybrook
fair. The Auburn High School
band, consisting of a dozen
pieces, dispensed all sorts of mu-
sic through the day.
The morning program consisted
of an address on Education and its
Need, by w. F. Parsons, and APP
piled Education, by Mayor Geo.
S. Vernon, of Bogue Chitto;
Prof. |. E. Russell, presiding.
At high noon a spread was
laid under the oaks, around which
three hundred hungry, happy folk
gathered.
The afternoon was given to the
various aspirants for Office. The
chairman, W. F. Parsons, presi-
dent of the Board of Supervisors,
with fuency and wit, that for
three mortal hours kept the people
in good feeling, introduced the
numerous speakers. First came
Mayor Geo: S. Vernon, who an
nounced himself a candidate for
Floater Representative. He made
the most scholarly address of the
afternoon, and impressed his
would be constituency with his
mental ability to fill every inch of
the Office he was seeking. Then
followed the candidates for Rep
resentative: DR.. V. B. Watts,
pleading as evidence of worth, his
answering fidelity to duty while
in Office; DR.. R. Z. Applewhite,
whose white hairs were no winter
than his record, to which he
proudly referred, as he sought the
peoples slffrance; Rev. J. A.
Scarborough, of Bogue Chitto, de-
clared that the fact that he repre-
scented ''the CLOTH" should not de-
bar him from the race, but rather
enhance his chances of success.
He was harnessed for the trip and
meant. D. v, and with the peo-
pies consent, to come under the
wire first, R. c. Applewhite,
though long in stature, was short
in words, as he announced himself
for the high office of sheriff. He
proudly pointed to his record as
deputy, and sheriff, and smiled
serenely as he recalled the good
service rendered, and assured his
hearers he was not in that army
of the untried. J. G. Cosnahan,
who also had a record, covering a
dozen years, told the people he
wanted to be sheriff himself, and
believed in the line of civil SER
vice promotion it should. come to
him. Frank Greer, put in an
earnest plea, declaring the plum
should fall into his lap. The
candidates for Treasurer were
plentiful. The first to speak was

Hot Weather Weakness

If you feel tagged out, listless and

summer weather. These symptoms in

create healthy appetite, make diges-
