The Roosevelt Dynasty,

Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of
Theodore Roosevelt, says that the
present incumbent of the White House
will be president again in 1916.
Roosevelt denies the statement of
his son-in-law, of course. He ought to
disown him for peddling family Sc
crets.
Nicholas should have known better.
But the country-at-large is glad that
he didn't.
The secret is out.
We know now why it is that Mr..
Roosevelt is bent on using all of the
machinery of the administration to
land Taft in the White House. We
know now why the president insisted
on Tafts nomination-why he dis
counted the worth of others more de-
serving.
1t was merely matter of reciproc-
ity-a link in the shrewdly concocted
conspiracy to swing the political pen
dulum back to Roosevelt-to perpetu-
ate the Roosevelt dynasty, if the de-
cent powers of the Old World will par
don the expression!
And we chumps were about to swal-
low the medicine when Nicholas blum.
dered and let us into the secret.
1t is as plain as the nose on
mans face now, and the way the
Democratic campaigners are using it
in the close states of the North and
East is calculated to cause some sew
eral political nightmares in the White
House bed chamber.

Big Meeting
OF PYTH|ANS
Four New Members Added to
Local Lodge Last Night and
Many Are Present.

The local lodge of Knights of Pyth-
las held a rousing meeting in their
Castle Hall last night and initiated
four new members into the mysteries
of Pythianism. Mr.. Will A. Sessions,
of Jackson, who is the grand chancel-
Tor of this organization for the state of
Mississippi was present with the lodge
on this occasion and helped with the
work and added inspiration to the old
members present.
This lodge occupies the third floor
of the Citizens Bank building and
has perhaps the best equipped lodge
room in the state and the membership
of the Hattiesburg lodge is very large.
The Knights of Pythias is an organ
ization that is known all over the
country and ranks with the strongest
of the fraternal organizations of this
land.
The lodge will meet again Thursday
night of this week to further confer
ranks on waiting candidates. The reg
ular meeting night hereafter will be
Thursday.

Twenty Years in Prison.

Charles Patton, a white man, has
been reased from the Georgia peniten-
tiary after having served twenty years
for a crime which he did not commit.
Discussing this most remarkable case
the Atlanta Georgian says:
He has lost twenty years-his best
years, his manly years, the years that
come just after man becomes a man.
the happy years when men marry and
build little homes. when the furniture
is bought piece by piece, when some of
the floors have to wait for carpets.
when the little babies come to cheer
and to live; the ambitious years when
the workman tries to get to be boss.
when the merchant tries to excel and
when success is achieved-all these
years Patton spent within the range
OF a shotgun carried by a guard Just
because away back nearly a quarter of
century ago he tried to help a man
conceal a crime that had been COM
mitted, though he, Patton, had no hand
in the crime.
Patton has suffered unjustly-his
story has been told how he was unable
to get any hearing and how though
the man who really committed the
crime was released long years ago,
Patton has been held year in and year
out, and twenty summers and winters
have come and gone and the snow of
winter-of the winter of life-is on
his head and his beard. The other
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-10-06

msh evidently was not a good work
pan. Patton was worth five times the
hire the state received for him, so it
was hard for him to get away
Patton called to see us when he
got out this week and as the little
man STOPPING slightly with the weight
of years tried to thank us for helping
to open the prison doors, he filled with
emotion, and his callous hand said
even more than his lips, for his lips
trembled when he tried to talk.
"As we realized the sight we felt
that if we had lived to that hour to
help the one man Patton to a just
freedom. we had not lived in vain
and few may know the feeling of such
a moment.
But then we were going to say
more about lost time when we started
talking about Patton.
THAT we live but once should be
serious reminder to us. But great
deal of the time we live as if this was
our first trial and we would come back
and do it over better.
Patton by an unwise act robbed
himself of life's best days and now
he can only try to gather up there
raveled threads of friends and kins-
men-most of whom forget men when
they are doomed to the despair of a
prison.
Millions of us rob life of it's flow
ers, its sunshine, it's birds. it's music
and it's love by waste of time, by
foolish use of our strength.
patton is only a plain picture of
most of us who are following lines on
least resistance in life.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today"

RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA.
No More Dosing the stomach-cure
the Skin Through the Skin.

When you have a scratch on your
hand you wash it out and cleanse 1t
and then the skin cures itself. You
do not take blood medicine to cure a
festered wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
81 in is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin dis.
case and not blood disease is evident
from statistics which show that near
ly all eczema sufferers are perfectly
healthy in all other ways except as
to their skin. If the eczema patients
were really suffering from an inward
malady, the entire body and not only
the skin would be diseased.
You can prove Immediately the re-
lief of a true skin cure by using oil of
wintergreen' as compounded in D. D.
D. Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease
germs, numbing them while building
up the healthy tissue of the skin. We
have now handled this meritorious and
thoroughly scientific remedy for SO
long and have seen it's reliable result
so many times that we freely express
our confidence.

Carson Is something like 10 miles

is quite arid for miles, the soil is

The meeting of the common council

The meeting of the common council
was adjourned from Monday to
Thursday evening, at which time 1t
will be necessary to devise ways and
means to carry on the city govern
ment until the revenues can be raised
not only for this year hut toI next,
by considerable increase In taxa
tion, to make up the loss sustained by
not receiving the revenues from H.
censes. 1t will probably be necessary
to order q special election to vote
bonds to build the new bridge which
will have to be carried by a two
thirds majority Of freehold voters.
II the election does not carry, the
bridge cannot be built, as the limit
OF indebtedness which the CITY may
contract at one time Is ~, 500, and 1t
will take at least s5, 600 In excess OF
funds now available this year.
