located right in front of the old CAPT.
toll building, at the intersection Of
Capitol and State streets, where those
who have business in connection with
the fair may easily find him during
the hours mentioned.
A major portion of the available
SPACE. in the exposition building has
already been engaged for this fall,
and sthe Indications are that every
thing will be in readiness for the
opening day. Last fall there was a
grand rush for space during the last
few days before the opening, and
many applicants had to be turned
away for Lack of room. 1t Is hoped
that this may be avoided this year
by inducing those interested to en-
gage space for exhibits early, so that
additional space may be provided IL
necessary, and the indications are
that 1t will be.
Unless there is some unlocked for
calamity there is every reason to be-
lieve that the present year will be
one of the biggest in the history of
the annual fair, and doubtless there
will be many exhibits from the county
fairs, as was the case in a limited
way last year.
The fact that the exposition opens
week earlier than last year gives
some assurance that the weather will
be warm and pleasant.
The management is working on the
racing calendar as well as the var
ious premium lists to be issued dur
ing the summer, and the most careful
pains will be taken to avoid the pos
sible mistakes of former years, and
get up the best things possible all
! the way around.

An address that will be of much
general interest when the press as
ISOLATION convenes in Hattiesbure
May 10, will be delivered by Mr.. J.
F. Mckay. Speaking of this the
Jackson Evening News says:
The newspapers of the state have
been great aid to the Mississippi
Industrial Exposition since 1t was es
tablished few years ago, and the
kindly feeling between the press and
the state fair has constantly grown
each recognizing the other as being
one of the most powerful agencies
on earth for the promotion of the
commercial welfare of the state.
An instance showing the relations
between these two interests was the
putting on the program for the meet
ing of the Mississippi Press Associa
ton of an address in the interest OF
the fair by Mr.. j. F. Mckay, secre
tary and manager.
That this address will be an inter
esting feature of the program goes
without saying, as Mr.. Mckay has the
workings of the exposition at the tir
Of his tongue and can tell them al
about it in as interesting manner as
it can be told, and it is fair to as
sumo that the address will bring
good results. The press is always
willing to boost the fair, and the more
information the editors have on the
subject the better they will be able
to boost.
Mr.. Mckay will reopen the office
of the fair association in few days
and while attending to other business
during the forenoors, will give the af
ternoons after 8 o'clock to the bust
ness of the exposition. The office Il

in DR.. Hallam's platform, one of
which is the holding down of the
trusts and combines, which he would
use his influence toward doing in
case of his election.
HE would not sanction the admis-
sion to this country of undesirable
immigration of whatever nationality
and would advocate the passage of
more stringent immigration laws"
The Daily News endorses DIR. Hal
lam's declaration in favor of the re-
peal of the 18th amendment and re-
grets that every candidate for con-
fress in the state hasn't the courage
to make a pledge to press the issue
at every opportunity.
Plans for colonization of the negro
race have been discussed, however,
for generations, and nobody has as
yet evolved a plausible scheme for
its consummation, even if it were pos
sible to secure an acceptable substi-
tute for negro labor in the South.
Everybody agrees on the trust
question-except, perhaps, the trusts
themselves-and there can be no dis
agreement among Democrats IN this
respect.
The position of the people of Mis-
sissippi in regard to immigration
was amply demonstrated last year,
when at Least one distinguished Missis
sippian, otherwise well qualified for
the goyernorship, went down in de-
feat because he favored the bringing
oof Italian laborers to the Delta sec
ton of the state.
But the fact that DR.. Hallam has
predicated his campaign almost en-
tirely upon the "Vardaman Idea
makes the race in the Eighth district
of more than local interest. None
of his five opponents have thus far
announced their platforms, and some
of them may crawl over on the same
side of the fence. Otherwise DR.
Hallam is practically certain to ge
into the second primary, and thel
will come the tug of war.

Running for Congress
an Vardomon Platform.

The six-cornered race for congress
over In the Eighth district assumed
an Interesting aspect Tuesday even
ing, when DR.. Frank Hallam, the
first candidate to announce for the
place soon to be vacated by Con-
gressman John Sharp Williams, made
the first speech of the campaign.
DR.. Hallam was introduced by ex-
Governor James X. Vardaman, AMI
stated at the outset of his remarks
that he would make the "Vardama1
Idea the battlecry of his campaign.
In fact he will go the ex-governor one
or two better, as the following ex-
tract from the jackson News indi-
Gates:
THE speaker was introduced in a
very complimentary speech by ex'
Governor vardaman, upon whose plat
form. with some changes and add
tons, DR.. Hallam will make the race,
believing not only in going immed-
lately after the repeal of the 18th
amendment, but also in doing some
other things to the negroes, including
the colonization of the criminal por-
ton Of them In some other country.
Just what the other country would
say to this is not clearly explained,
but the assumption seems to be that
ii would be all right.

Harrison County Sheriff
Tries to Locate Conuicts

ed one of the convicts that recently
escaped from the Gulfport Jail, b, {
it turned out to be case If mistaken
identity.
About two days ago a negro was
arrested at Sanford, who appeared to
answer the description of one of the
escaped prisoners and he was brought
to Hattiesburg and placed in tn.
county jail. Sheriff Reeves was no
tilted of the capture and came up to
Hattiesburg to take look at the sus-
pect. The negro gave his name as
ISAIAH Lee, and while he bore q striiR'
ing resemblance to one of the con
victs, yet he was not the right man.
Lee, however. was not given his
liberty, as 1t was learned that he was
wanted at Collins for some misde
meanor and he was carried to thai
place yesterday by Mr.. J. z. Rawls
and turned over to the Covington
county authorities.
The Harrison county sheriff thought
he had a line on one or two of the
prisoners out on the Mississippi
Central and after finding out that the
negro, Lee, was not one of his men
he went out on the Mississippi Cent
raj to investigate the report thai
some Of the prisoners had been seer
at some point on that road.

All of this newspaper talk about a
contest between John Sharp Williams
and James X. Vardaman for the posi-

convention is nonsense. And those
who are looking for anything of the
sort will be disappointed, as neither
of these distinguished Mississippians
would provoke fight of this sort on
the floor OF the state convention.
