Hon. J. w. Turner, prominent resi-
dent of Carriere, this county, and an
nounced in the columns of The Echo
as candidate for the Office of Super
visor from Beat 8, spent several days al
the county seat during the week, in at
tendance upon court. Mr.. Turner has
/ many friends in Bay St Louis, as well
as in his section of the county, and he
is always welcome visitor here. He
says his candidacy is meeting with
much favor, apd there is no doubt OF
his election. He strongly favors good
county roads, better and more schools
and equal taxation. Such a platform
cannot but win, and the people of his
beat-Carriere, Yamacraw, Picayune
and Hariel-have every assurance and
feel fully confident that he will carry
out it's provisions.
Hancock county circuit court convened
in this city Monday morning, with Hon.
w. H. Hardy on the bench, and Hon.
P. B. Harrison prosecuting for the State,
Hon. E. H. Hoffman, occupied the clerk s
desk, with Sheriff J. E. Saucier in his
accustomed place, and Deputy Sheriff
Albert J. Sheriff assisting. The Judges
charge was vigorous and to the point,
touching upon many subjects directly
effecting Hancock county, including the
good roads subject. The number of con-
yictions have been mostly in cases where
the charge was carrying concealed
weapons" In its next issue, after the
adjournment of court, The Echo will
publish the proceedings.
Hon. E. F. Noel, of Holmes county,
and prominent candidate for the office
of Governor, was a welcome caller upon
The Echo Wednesday, and we were
glad to see our friend again. He in
forms us that he is meeting with much
encouragement, and he has no doubt of
his ultimate success. MIR. Noel is a
prominent and distinguished citizen.
one who has gone to the legislature
time and again, and is the author of
some of the most important and sue
cessful laws of the State. He addressed
the voters of Hancock county at the
courthouse Wednesday afternoon, and
his remarks were we'll received.
Mrs. Helen L. Behrens, residence at
"Buena Vista" home, announces in this
issue of The Echo the formation of
classes in literature, four weeks to a
course, at easy terms. Mrs. Behrens
has taught in the higher schools of New
Orleans for many years, and is excel
lently qualified to hold such classes.
This is a rare opportunity to the young
people of Bay st. Louis, and the older
ones, too, that should be taken advan-
tage of. These classes will be continued
throughout the summer.
District Attorney B. P. Harrison, in
attendance upon the present term of
circuit court, continues in his able work
representing the State. He is active in
the cause, ever on the alert, and his
knowledge of the law is deep and lively.
His addresses are brilliant and scholarly,
and that he is a candidate for e-elec-
tion is gratifying. Mr.. Harrison, so
far, has no announced opposition, and
so successful has his work proven that
it is likely his candidacy will remain
unopposed.
The Pass Christian Beacon is of the
correct opinion that "if the l.. & n.
Railroad would aid in the development
of the trucking industry along the coast
it could make this section one of the
| richest along its lines. There appears
to be no trouble at all in producing
| abundantly all kinds of early vegetables,
| but the trouble lies in the growers being
unable to have their product reach the
markets in reasonable time or at rea-
sonable rates."
Hon. E. J. Smith, deputy auditor of
the State of Mississippi, was visitor to
this city Wednesday in the interest Of
his candidacy for auditor. He is very
competent man in the auditors office
already familiar with the work, and is
asking for promotion. His chances O.
election are splendid and he feels con-
fident of success.
DR.. A. Kergosien, one of the mos
popular and successful young men Of
| the county, spending the winter at New
Orleans, came out Monday evening te
be present at Circuit Court session in
response to subpoena calling him as
