The following Jackson dispatch to
the Commercial Appeal of Wednesday
will doubtless interest our readers:
In passing on the appeal case OF
the Kosciusko Oil Mills VS.. The Wilson
Cotton Oil CO., of Lexington. appealed
from the circuit court of Holmes
county, yesterday afternoon the chief
justice intimated that the record as
submitted presented very strong and
palpable evidence Of Intentional viola
tion of the state antitrust laws. The
evidence seemed to show that the
Kosciusko mills had been carrying on
a conspiracy to control the movement
and price of cotton seed, to the detri-
ment of competition, and recommend
ed that the attorney general proceed to
investigate the facts with view to
multiplying the charter,
Attorney General Fletcher stated
today that he would begin the inves-
tigation as suggested by the supreme
court as soon as he could get hold of
the records, and will investigate along
the lines indicated in the opinion Of
the supreme court. 1t is possible that
this investigation will lead to dis
coveries that will involve other cor.
porations of similar nature in the

Candidates Hold
Forth at Durant

On Monday night the citizens OF
Duraht listened to speeches from the
three candidates for the state senate,
each one of whom felt highly honored
by the many ladies who graciously lent
their charms to the interesting occas.
ion and made it one of the most pleaS-
ant and agreeable events OF the present
political campaign.
Col. J. G. Hamilton, a gentleman of
the old school, who has no superior in
the courtly and elegant demeanor
taught in the chivalric antebellum
days, introduced the speakers in his
Incompatible manner, John M. How
ard was appointed timekeeper, and
called them down. at the very
minute their time expired.
The first speaker was Prof. ]. 81.
Fuqua, Jr., who by his elegant die
ton, superb delivery and oratorical
powers highly interested everyone
present,
Hon. s, N. Sample was then called
upon and responded in most happy
speech, giving a clear, concise and
satisfactory account of his steward
ship as legislator. 1t was practi-
cal speech, delivered by practical
man, and convinced all that he had
delivered the goods. -
DIR. Henry Christmas followed and
his many friends and admirers, who
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1907-04-12

have heard him in years agone were
highly pleased to note that he is even
a better orator than ever before. This
is saying great deal as DR.. Christ
mas has always been recognized as one
of the very best public speakers
Holmes county has ever produced.
After rejoinder by Prof. Fuqua,
the following legislative candidates
were called upon and very briefly an
nounced their candidates., all of
whom made most favorable impress
sions, and the people present were
convinced that no matter who is
elected, Holmes county will be credi-
tably represented Capt G, Oltenburg,
DR.. L. s. Rogers, ] B. Mitchell, ].
E. McRae. After they had their in
ming, G.. G. Reid. Parham Williams,
Prof. W. H. Smith, were called upon
and made their spiel for the va
rious offices to which they aspire, and
were given a hearty greeting. The
meeting at Durant was one of the most
pleasant and agreeable of the cam.
paign so far, and the candidates will
ever remember it with unmixed pleas

Narrow Escape
for Popular Couple

On Sunday evening while Eric Nor
quist and Miss Mary Williams were
out driving, the spirited horse got be-
yond Mr., Norquist's control and dash
ing wildly away ran against the fence
in front of M. J. Peters residence, on
Rhyme hill, with the result that Miss
Williams was thrown against the fence
and on the brick walk, receiving very
severe bruises and contusions, but
happily none that will prove Of a
serious or permanent nature. Mr..
Norquist was thrown clear over the
fence but escaped with severe shak-
ing up and the ruin of good suit OF
clothes. The horse continued its fight
as far as the iron bridge, where it was
headed off by A. E. Swinney. The
horse received several bad wounds, but
will recover, and the buggy was badly
damaged. 1t is q matter of felicita-
tion, and almost miraculous, that the
damage was no worse.

In securing DR.. Potts. of Memphis,
for services in his meeting, Bro. Kin

my privilege to hear DR.. Potts deliver
a series of sermons at Oxford, Miss,
and it is not too much to say that they
were very interesting and helpful.
For one, / am delighted with the pros

meeting, understand, will begin on
Monday night, next, and continue
through two weeks ! hope the Meth
odist congregation will attend these
services, and get all the benefits they
can from the meeting, and render all
the help within their power to make
this successful occasion.
Soon after the close of the Baptist
meeting, have arranged to hold spe-
cial services, at the Methodist church,
for several days. I hope and pray that
through these efforts the entire COM
munity may be greatly benefited.

Minority Leader
Popular in Holmes

Hon. John Sharp Williams, the dis
tinguished minority leader of the
house of representatives and incident.
ally candidate for United States
senator, spoke to a very large audience
In the court house last Friday after
noon. He was introduced by Hon. w.
p. Tackett, who has no peer in that
line the world over-for grace. beauty
and charm Of effiorescent diction, his
little preliminary talk was the ne plus
ultra-an iridescent and scintillating
gem. No comment is necessary re-
garding Mr.. Williams speech. Inter
nationally regarded as one OF the
worlds ablest orators, it Is superfuous
to remark that he held the appreciative
audience deeply interested from start
to finish. His talk occupied over two
hours and a half, and yet the audience
regretted that he did not keep on
longer which is the highest compli-
ment possible. Those who heard him
speak and were charmed by his oratory
ten or more years ago noticed a de-
cided improvements which was not
then considered possible-and con-
vinced them of the patent fact that he
possesses the true elements of states
manship- growth. He gave a good and
satisfactory account of his stewardship
as public officer in the past and dis
cussed the various issues of the day in
his characteristic logical and convinc-
ing manner. His remarks were inter
polated throughout with hearty ap-
plause by the audience, and at the
close he was accorded perfect ova-
tion. After his address, Hon. W. J.
Miller, our present state treasurer,
gave his reasons why he ought to be
elected insurance commissioner, and
he made an elegant talk too.
