CLUB
 IS HELD UP

Paris, Dec. 1.-The extraordinary spectacle of an illegal club being held up py thieves has occurred at Beziors. At eleven o'clock the other night two thieves, armed in ture wild west fash ion with two revolvers each, entered q club in the center of the town, and under threats Of exposure demanded all the money in the possess ion of the manager and croupier Afraid of the possibility of exposure, they parted with al! the money in the establish ment, including the receipts of the bar. Te bandits then retired without disturbing the thirty gamblers sitting around the green table. The gam blerS were none the less afraid but after the gamblers had left the prem ises, several of them regained their courage and went in pursuit. In the course of the chase several shots were fired and the attention of the police was thus drawn to the incident An inqury was instituted and resulted in the manager of the gambling house being summoned, while action was taken against several of his custo- mers for carrying prohibited arms. The thieves got away.

That Ever Burning Race Question.

A decision has been rendered by
corporations counsel, Thomas, that
hotels, restaurants, cafes and barber
shops of the District of Columbia will
be compelled to serve colored persons
in the same rooms and at the same
price as white persons.
The old plan, it is said will be re-
stored and undesirable patrons will
be driven away by charging prohibi-
tive prices. If the negro should float
into a favorite collation. room of the
upper tendon and ask for cup of
coffee, he will be politely informed
that it will cost him two dollars and
thirty-five cents, or for plain steak

Visit of DR.. Mayes.

Hattiesburg will have within her
gates tomorrow distinguished visitor
, in the person of DR., Fred J. Mayes, of
New Orleans, now touring Mississippi
under the auspices of the State Board
of Health.
DR.. Mayes will spend Wednesday
visiting the public schools of the city,
lecturing the teachers and pupils on
the Importance of hygiene and sani-
tation.
Wednesday evening he will be the
guest of the Forrest County Medical
Society at a smoker, when the doc
{ tors of the city and county will en-
gage in a general discussion of pro-
fessional topics.
But the public will be most inter-
ested in the fact that Dr. Mayes is
to deliver a public lecture at the
court house Thursday night when
every citizen of Hattiesburg is urged
to be present.
In his public lectures DIR. Mayes
does not deal with technical subjects,
but discusses common-sense measures
for the prevention of disease, and in
language that every man, woman and
child in the community can readily
understand.
One of the most hopeful signs of
the present generation is the fact that
doctors are turning their attention to
the prevention of disease, and that
the more thoughtful members of the
profession pay more attention to this
phase of their practice than to the
actual treatment of existing maladies.
Sanitation and hygiene are espe-
cially important in cities the size Of
Hattiesburg and the discussion of the
subject by man of the professional
standing and authority of DR.. Mayes
should result in much permanent good
to the community.

SELECT JURY FROM SPECIAL
PANEL To TRY JOE WILLIAMS

The work of empaneling a jury in
the case of the State VS.. Joe Will
liams, on a charge of murder, began
just before noon in the court house
this morning. A special venire of
100 men had been summoned and as
the circumstances of the case are so
well known it is doubtful if jury is
selected this afternoon.
1t was rumored around the court
house this morning that an effort was
being made to compromise the matter
in some way, but if such an effort
was made on the part of either side
it did not meet with success.
There are said to be three indict-
ments against WILLIAMSBURG for muir
der, one for forgery and another for
embe3zlement, all connected with the
bank affairs of which Ed Howell was
the head, and of whose murder Will
liams has been accused. This is the
only capital case that will be reached
this week. and as the case gained so

BIG SUCCESS

Atlanta, Ca, November 17.-This
city. which two years ago barred 1.-THE
Clansman,' from it's gates stretched
it's arms open wide to "The Clans
mans" successor, "The Traitor" last
night, and accorded it the heartiest
welcome that has ever been extended
to any play in the theatrical history
of Atlanta. The immense Grand
Opera house was crowded from pit to
dome. The brilliant audience includ-
ed nearly everybody of prominence
in social and political circles. Gov
ernor Hoke Smith occupied a stage
box and another box occupant was
Robt. Maddox, the citizens candidate
for mayor. The success of 1.-THE
Traitor" was never in doubt for an
instant. Fully a dozen curtain calls
followed each act and there was a
tremendous outburst of enthusiasm at
the thrilling climax of the third act,
when John Graham, the hero of the
play, escaped from the court room
where he has been tried for his life
by a negro jury. Although six per-
formances of "The Traitor" will be
given in Atlanta, practically all seats
are already sold for the balance of
the engagement. Manager Degive of
the Grand Opera House has booked
the play for return engagement of
a weeks duration commencing early
in December.

Preparing for Revision.

The tariff hearings at Washington
will probably follow the lines of sim
liar hearings in our history. The sup
porters of the party in power will be
called upon for information and ask
ed, however the question is disguised
in diplomatic language: What do
you want?" And the revision accept
ed will be a compromise reached be-
tween the demands of greed on one
side and the need of placating the
public on the other, for there is al
ways the danger that the running fire
of popular protest may grow into a
conflagration from which the party
may not escape by taking to a ditch
or setting a back-fire in 1912. The
party must hold it's supporters. Why
not? Is not ours a government by a
party controlled by personal interests
and a force of disciplined soldiery?

England and knew he could only hold
it by dividing the strength of the
people so as to make it ineffective.

saries held the localities in check
from forfeited posts and subdued the
kingdom again by means of a flying
army made up of detachments of
trained soldiers from every castle in
the land. The labor of the people
supplied campaign funds to their foes

turned always against the people for
