PURVIS IS AGAIN
VISITED BY STORM
DELUGE OF RAIN DOES MUCH
DAMAGE TO NEW STOCKS
OF MERCHANTS.

HATTIESBURG, Miss, May O.
Purvis, Miss, the little town which
suffered most in the tornado which
recently swept across this section of
the South was visited by another
storm today. No serious damage was
done, but the heavy rain brought
about much suffering among those
who lost their homes a little over a
week ago. Stores in Purvis, which
were unroofted in the recent tornado
and which had erected temporary
roofs of canvas, were deluged and
their new stocks of goods ruined. The
rain in this section was general and
resulted in great delay 70 traffic on
the several railroads entering Hat
tiesburg. Washouts are reported
from several points, and number of
trains have been held up by high
water
JACKSON, Miss, May 5.-There is
torrential rainfall over the greater
portion of Mississippi today. The
precipitation thus far amounts to
about four inches. All railroad trains
are delayed by washouts and several
are waterbound. Unless the rainfall
seases during the day traffic may be
completely suspended before night.
The storm has added to the misery
and suffering in the tornado stricken
where many families are
living under temporary shelter.
Reports from Durant, Miss, say that
owing to washouts on both sides Of
that place Illinois Central passenger !
trains Nos. / and 2, from the South, |
we're delayed half day at Durant..

rs place where persons are permit
ted to resort for the purpose of drink
ing alcoholic liquors and beverages.
This is not denied. The New Charles
ton Hotel company, therefore became
a party to the violation Of Section %
OF the dispensary Act (approved the
10th OF February, 19O7,) which pro-
vides that all places where persons are
permitted to resort for the purpose Of
drinking alcoholic liquors or beverages,
are hereby declared nuisances.'
Therefore, there is no reason why
the New Charleston Hotel company
should not likewise be enjoined from
maintaining the said nuisance. In the
case Of Dobbns VS.. United States, 6
otto G9o, the princi pie was announced
that II the owner Of land permits it
/" be used It's il site for Il distillcry,
the law places him ON the same foot

Iamd will be forfeited Tor the unlaw-
lUi acts and omissions Of the dis
ll!.rr. uSt us il he were the owner,
even II the owner was ignorant Of
such fraudulent acts and omissions.

cr "f the property voluntarily leased

Hon. o. Is. Martin, State supelin-

Mr.. Martin said:

III his announcement for the SEN

consideration of his record. I simply
took him at his word. I think the
time was opportune to say something
about the Use Of money in elections.
| do not think it is right or legitimate
to put fellow in charge of a cam

pathetic banker for funds to use in an
election. The responsibility cannot be
shifted in such eases. II must rest
with the principal. I propose to de-
nounce the use Of money in this way.
II is entirely appropriate for me to
inject This issue in order to try to
prevent just such things as men
swore occurred in Spartanburg. I
long ago adopted the principle, when
you are right you cannot be too Wig

not be too careful

month and expense of election. placed
upon the anxious seat.
The fact is there is so much in the
proposition of danger to the school in
terests OF Chickasha as well as that of
engendering a spirit Of clannishness
that it were far better for any one in
terested in the proposition to let it
pass by than to throw onto the city
extra taxation for the election, and
possibly one or two more elections,
if not prolonging the erection Of a high
school structure so long as to cut the
city out of its use next winter.
If the dissatisfied ones can call an
election on one-tenth of the voters, it
is reasonable to suppose that the dis
satisfied ones in the next selection
may petition for a referendum vote,
and there is no telling where is would
end, all the while they would be pill
ing up taxes.
Now what are the facts regarding
the block selected? 1t is a beautiful
plot of ground. None prettier was
offered. OF the three blocks finally
settled down to as ones from which
to choose, all were in that part of the
city in which the one selected is To-
Gated. True, the block is not now in
the center Of the city but it will be
within the next three years, and in a
case of this kind we should look more
to the future than the present. The
