ARE MISSISSIPPI EDITOR S
CHUMPS?

We have received a letter from
the Mississippi Travellers Asso-
citation asking our support of a
certain bill now before the leg
islature. The letter head upon
which the letter was typewriter
was printed by a Texas station
cry house. Still there are quite
a number of Mississippi printing
concerns which do most excell-
ent work, We suggest that the
Association get the newspapers
of Texas to aid them in getting
their bill through the Mississippi
Legislature, as they are the peo-
lie they patronize. We have on
numerous occasions received in
~vitations to attend entertain
ments of various kinds
given by Mississippi educational
institutions printed outside the
state-the state itself having it's
printing done by outside print
ers Texas. Tennessee and South
Carolina stationers are the real
thing when some of our official
and public institutions have any
money to spend; but they fall
back on the sucker editors in
Mississippi when they have a
scheme to get through or a free
puff of any kind they want the
dear people to read.
How long will the newspaper
men of Mississippi stand for such
things?-Bollivar County Demo-

STAMPEDE AT
LYCEUM THEATRE
Fire Extineuisher Fell and
Some One Cried "Fire,"
But People We're Quiet

The falling of fire extinguisher ana
the cry of fire" that followed nearly
caused a stampede in the Lyceum
Theatre Saturday night The presence
Of mind of Miss Rose Tyler, a member
of the Smart Set" company, who was
singing, and the cool-headedness Of the
theatre employees prevented panic
that would probably have been dis
astrous The excitement was caused
near the close Of the play. The first
floor of the playhouse was comfortably
occupied and the balcony and gallery
were crowded. The house was dark
except for a spot light that was thrown
upon Miss Tyler as she sang. With
a resounding bang the fire extinguisher
in the gallery fell from its fastenings
to the floor.
The cry Of fire" followed with
startling clearness. In a moment the
big audience arose and began to start
for the exits. Men clambered over
seats and women screamed. Excitement
was somewhat delayed when Homer
Stark, a stage electrician. turned on
the lights Manager Daniel Humphries.
Doorman Charles Hicken and Fire
Chief Ward. who happened to be pres
ent stopped the rush on the first floor
and the other employees quieted those in
the balcony aud gallery. A few left
the gallery and went 70 the street but
the greater number returned after hav-
ing been assured that there was no
danger.
All through the excitement Miss
Tyler continued to sing in a desire to
detract attention from the scare. In a
few minutes all the excitement had
subsidized and those who had been
frightened out OF their wits were soon
composedly Dragging about their pres
ence of mind.
