To the people Of The Southern

Since my incumbency to the
Office of Railroad Commissioner,
| have honestly, faithfully and
conscientiousIy devoted all of the
energy of my mind and body to
the public service, to the detri-

out great individual and financial
loss, IN Justice to myself and fam

NOEL And BREWER
AT JACKSON
A LIVELY TIME AT THE JOINT De.
BATE SATURDAY NIGHT.
Noel Draws Brewer Out CIea TIy on State
Prohibition.
Great Disorder Prevailed D uTing the
Speaking Which Neither Candi-
date Could QueII.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 17.-One
OF the largest crowds that ever
gathered in the Coliseum build
ing, was present tonight to hear
the joint debate between Senator
Noel and Earl Brewer, the two
gubernatoriaI candidates.
The Brewer followers discovered
early in the evening that the meet
ing was largely Noel" and this
fact led them to do their best to
break up the meeting, OF at least
prevent each speaker from being
heard.
Senator Noel opened the de-
bate and began by clearly defin-
ing his views on all the issues
which have been brought out as
the most important in the cam
paign-the prohibition question
and the public service corpora
tions.
He spoke under great difficulty
for one hour, but only those who
sat near the speaker were able to
hear any part of the speech.
When MIR. Brewer arose to re-
ply pandemonium reigned, for the
Noel followers seemed determined
to retaIiate. Ex-Governor Low
ry and Senator Noel both rose,
and getting the attention of the
vast audience for minute or two.
appealed to them to hear Mr..
Brewer. The appeal had some
effect and for time Mr.. Brewer
received the attention of the au
dience. But following applause
by the Brewer followers, the Noe
people joined in and the result
was that only those who sat close
to the speakers stand were ablt
to hear.
So noisy had the crowd become
when Mr.. Noel rose to make his
rejoinder, that he made no at
tempt to catch the attention of tht
audience, confining his remarks
to the reporters who we're seated
at tables nearby.
During Mr.. Noel's speech ht
brought out the fact that one o
Brewers main arguments useC
prior to the first primary was di
rected toward Hon. Charles Scott
on the ground that Mr.. Scott wa'
being supported by corporation
attorneys. Mr.. Noel said ht
could not understand why j
should be a crime for Mr.. Scot
to be supported by a few corpo
ration attorneys, and a virtue fol
Mr.. Brewer to have practically al
the influence of every corporation
attorney in the state; that it wa
a point he could not understand
why the corporations we're al
supporting Brewer 10 the face 0

THROWN FROM EARTH.
Moons Space Kept Nan from Be
ing Fish, Says Prof. Pickering.
fBy Telegraph to The T,-ibune

BY Telegraph to The Tribune
Chicago, Feb. THAT in the early history of
this world the moon thrown into space from
the present site of the Pacific Ocean IS explained
by Professor VIII am Pickering, OF the astro-
nomical department Of Harvard, in the current
issue of the University Of Chicago's journal Of
Geology"
The explanation is accompanied by maps and
measurements of the earths surface as il is to-
day and as it probably was when I'm a gaseous
and later in molten state, and from these ac-
cording to shc professor. It is quite easy to SEQ
that, granting that the moon was thrown off
from the earth. II could have come from no
other source. A comparison of the specific grav-
ity Of the earth and OF the moon also shows that
the earth must have disposed of the moon in this
manner. That made more room for water. the
professor says otherwise modern men would all
be deep water fishes.
