Trenton, N. j., June 1S.-The Legis-
lature conyeres today and it will re
ceive from Governor Stokes a mes
sage which will urge the passage of
a law which will make the contin-
uance in public office contingent upon
efficient service to the State rather
than party loyalty, as at present. In
addition, the Governor will urge the
enactment of a grand jury for re-
form law, and will again advocate the
passage of bill for the expression
If the popular choice of United States
Senators at the primaries. Both thu
civil service and jury reform bills
were introduced at the regular session,
the Senate and House in their closing
hours got their wires tangled, and not
withstanding that fact that two bills
having this object in view were pend
ing, both failed of passage. 1t was
thought for some time that one of
these bills had been approved by both
Houses, and it was not until recently
that the true situation, which the Gov
ernor will now try to have rectifed,
was discovered.

prior to the surrender), is living on

Now, boys. let's all go to Meridian
this year. We will get better fare
than we did in the sixties. Let us
make up a strong membership and
make it the nucleus of reunion of
the Baldwin-Sears Brigade. This Bri-
gade was composed of the Fourth,
Thirty-fifth Thirty-sixth. Thirty-ninth,
and Forty-sixth Mississippi Regiments
and the Seventh Mississippi Battalion.
Singularly enough, all of these com
mands are represented in the Hat
| tiesburg Camp, U. c. ", except the
Thirty-ninth. If Walthall's Brigade
can keep up an organized reunion, and
have yearly meetings, surely we ought
to do as well as they.
Now, men of the Forty-sixth. Think
over the foregoing proposition and pre-
pare to act And let the first thing
you do, be to write to me, stating
where you live, and giving the names
and postoffice address of all other
living members of your company that
you can, also any member of any other
company in the regiment If we neg
lect this matter any longer it will
never be done at all.

CONTEST VOTES
COMING RAPIDLY
Three Of the Contestants Have Al
ready Passed 1000 Mark.

The handsome $500 piano now on
exhibition in the show window Of Orr
Brothers Furniture Store, which is.
to be given away by the Daily News
on August 4. is attracting great
deal of attention.
The vote yesterday was the largest
since the contest was inaugurated. due
largely to the fact that two additional
ballot boxes have been placed In the
business district, which makes it more
convenient for subscribers to deposit
the coupons which they cut from the
paper. These boxes are located at
Bufkin & Co.'S and the Owl Drug
Store
Owing to the increased interest and
the corresponding increase of labor in
counting ballots, the count will hence
forth be made at 6 o'clock in the even
ing. Ballots cast after that hour will
not be included IN the announcement
made in the paper on the follow az
day. but will rem.ir a the boxes until
the next regular counting time.
Remember You get 500 votes with
each annual paid-in-advance subscrip-
tion to the paper. 200 votes with each
six months subscription, or 100 with
each quarterly.

WORK is RESUMED
ON MAIN STREET
METHODIST CHURCH
Construction Had Been Temporarily
Suspended While Waiting for a
Car Load of Stone.

Contractor Crymes has resumed
work on the erection of the Main
street Methodist church, after delay
of week or ten days occasioned by
an unusual delay in the shipment of
a car load of stone for the ornamental
base of the building.
The stone was being placed in posi-
ton yesterday, and several days will
be consumed in this task, after which
the brick work will go forward at a
remarkable rapid rate.
The new Main Street Methodist
church is to be one of the handsomest
church edifices in the South. The
building will cost about $4,000 and
the furniture and other fixtures will
run the total cost up to a little more
than $4,000.
Located right in the heart of the
business district, less than a block
from the county court house on one
of the main thoroughfares, IT. will be
a splendid advertisement for the city
There is nothing which speaks more
eloquently for the moral and social
side of town or city than handsome
church buildings and Hattiesburg will
soon rival any city in the State in
this particular respect
The plans for the Main Street Meth
odist church were drawn by Architect
R. e. Lee, who has the honor of hav-
ing designed some of the handsomest
buildings in Hattiesburg.
As a rule. Hattiesburg people be.
lieve in giving their work to home peo-
pie, but Mr.. Lee has never solicited
business for this reason. The work
which he has received in Hattiesbrig
has frequently been in competition
with famous architects from al over
the country, and he has received the
preference because of his reputation
for excellence and thorough manner
in which he discharges his duties after
his plans are accepted.

1t was decided to try to arouse
enough interest in the matter to have
every company represented at the re
union in Meridian in 1907. Meridian
is the point where the regiment, the
old Sixth Mississippi Battalion, was
organized, and where the last organ
lied remnant was paroled at the final
surrender. 1t is centrally located, is
easy of access and is an ideal spot for
a reunion of the companies. Hence
every member of the "old Forty-sixth'
who may read these lines is earnestly
requested to make it a point to be
present at the State reunion.

. iment were: Company A, from
Wayne County, Angus Taylor being

To while away the time he walked out short way in the environs, where the picturesque ruin of a castle met his eye. He asked a countryman who was passing to be so good as to tell him the name of the castle. The reply was somewhat start ling. "It's no the day to be asking sic things"'
 Another good story of Scottish. ob servance of the Sabbath Is told by a clergyman.
