MAKES REPLY
To Mr.. BARBER
Chairman of Executive Committee
Accedes to Wishes of the
Biloxi Candidate.

Poplarville, Miss, July 17.-Hon. J..
NJ. Shivers, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee of the Sixth Congress
sional district, has given out the fol-
lowing letter to Hon. E. NJ. Barber, BIZ
loxi, Miss:
81 have not as yet received your let
ter of the 18th inst. through the mail,
but have seen it as published in the
New Orleans Picayune, and as you say
that this being a matter of great pub
lie interest," I also take the liberty of
giving this answer to the public press.
First think that your reading of
section No. 3075 of the Code of Missis-
sippi of A. D. 1906, is correct as to the
letter of the law, but differ with you as
to the construction which you put upon
it as being mandatory instead of being
merely directory; but taking your let
ter literally as you do the said sec
ton of the code, I understand that if

by it at its meeting at Hattiesburg on
the 10th inst, canvassing the returns
and declare the result of the first pri-
mary, and that result is unfavorable
to you that you will put up contest,
hasten to inform you that the con-
gressional executive committee for the
Sixth District of the state of Mississip-
pi will meet at Gulfport to canvass the
returns of the primary election for can
didates for congress from the said
district and to declare the result, on
the day appointed by the law of the
state. and that without any further
meeting of the said committee.
"Second-As to the suggestion made
by you to the committee at Hatties-
burg that the first primary be fixed for
Saturday instead of Thursday, you will
recollect that l as chairman laid this
suggestion before the committee, but
that the committee refused toentertain
it, believing, no doubt, as l do, that
while the course of all political power
in this state lies in the people and
that the people should be taken into

on last night given at the lovely home
of DR.. and Mrs. S. S. Turner in honor

crowd gathered at the home of Mr.. w

The hospitable home presented a

with the sweet odors of roses and mas

were banked in every nook and corner
Misses Marie and Ruth Turner always
prove themselves ideal hostesses and
on this occasion they were unusually
so, and each one of their guests were
beautifully and charmingly enter
tanned. Delightful music by Miss Ma
rie Turner, sweet songs by a number
of the guests, delicious refreshments,
and he evening passed merrily away.
Mrs. Ed Gray, of Waynesboro, and Ma
omi Turner served the dainty refresh
ments. This was surely one of the
most pleasant evenings ever spent in
Hattiesburg home, and one that will
long and fondly dwell on the memory
of each participant, who was thus hon.
ored as to be guest at such lovely
affair. The guests present were:
Misses Bessie and>May Haney, Anna

only be with us "just little while"
and 1t behooves us to scatter sunshine
all along the way" The day was very
pleasantly spent in various ways. The
sweet old time war songs were sung,
the veterans voices ringing out clear
and sweet carrying them back to those
days of old" A patriotic spirit was
throbbing in each breast as they lis
tened to each note of the singers, and
felt like rising with one accord and
shouting hurrah for the glorious old
southland, the land of the free and the
brave, the land of sunshine and flow
ers.
A DELICIOUS and tempting dinner was
bountifully served as the Daughters
alone can do, to each and every indi-
vidual on the ground Thus has
passed into the yesterdays day re-
pIete with enjoyment and one which
among the glories of memory must this
ideal day remain forever.

The picnic at Rawls Springs yester-
day given by the U. d. g. Chapter in
honor of the Confederate Veterans,
was one of the most delightful affairs
of the season. There were about $50
non the grounds. fifty of them were
the veterans. Every effort possible
was put forth to make this day a me-
morable one for the noble old veterans,
and the Daughters and all who as
sisted them in any way certainly de-
serve the highest praise for the beau
tiful courtesy and kind remembrance
so lovingly rendered in their behalf.
Nothing sweeter and nothing nobler
could possibly be done than that of

Several Thousand People Enjoy Elk
cursions on the Different Steamers
Saturday and Sunday.

There were river excursions galore
Saturday and Sunday and they were
all well patroniZed. Saturday there
were four different excursions to Mus
catine, and about 5000 people made
the trip on the different boats. The
j. S. carried about LEO on its two
trips, and the Columbia had about coo
on board when it made its afternoon
run. The Silver Crescent took as
many as it could carry and there were
many more who would have liked to
have gone on it as it was the last boat
to leave Muscatine.
Yesterday the ]. S. made trip tC
Clinton from the three cities. There
were about ZOO tickets sold. Moline
furnished big share of the crowd
The people from Moline did not have
much of a chance for ride on tn,
river Saturday as the boats that wen
to Muscatine did not land at Moline.

THOUSANDS VISITED
PARKS SATURDAY
at Over 5,O0C-Sunday is An
other Big Day.

Thousands of tri-city people spent
portion of the day Saturday and
yesterday in the different parks of the
three cities, and at the Watch Tower.
The two days were busy ones indeed
at the Watch Tower, and the manage
ment showed wisdom in preparing for
the entertainment of $4,000 as it did.
The crowd at the Tower Saturday is
estimated at 1900, and as this is
based on the number carried ON the
street cars, it probably falls consid-
erably snort of the real figure. Peo-
pie drove for miles from the rural dis
tricts TO spend the evening at the
, grounds. and it is estimated that at
least 1000 people from the small
towns and rural districts were on the
grounds in addition to the thousands
present from the three cities Yes
terday's crowds were but slightly
smaller than those of Saturday, and
| the cars were crowded all day. The
street car company provided efficient
| service for Saturday. running three
cars each trip. Yesterday the service
was handled by two cars ON each trip.

vocal numbers Saturday afternoon and

Bessins letters.

Nowhere is the ingenuity of the
present age more apparent than in tie
begging letters received by rich men,
said private secretary. Il have been
reading letters of that Kind by the hun
dred for the past fifteen years. For
merly all begging letters sounded alike.
So stereotyped We're they that they
might have been copied bodily from 9
ready letter writer. Now the writers
display originality They may want
the same old thing that their predeces
sors wanted, but they ask for it in 8
different way. People in need have
acquired the art of expressing them
selves in 4 dramatic way. That is tc
their advantage. 1t may be unjust
but usually the letter that hits the ricl
man hardest brings the most favorable
reply The writer may not really nee6
assistance nearly so badly as some
tiinid suppIiant who clings to trite
phrases. but he gets the relief asked

tum. 1t was at this time that Cham

Al serious conflagration was started

day evening, but the prompt and dar-

spread of the flames and possible in
jury to those in the house. Mrs.
Montgomery was entertaining num-
Der of friends, and preparations had
been made for a display of fin FORKS
in the evening. A large quantity of
fireworks of various sorts, including
roman candles, sky rockets, and many
cannon crackers, had been placed in
closet under stairway, for safe
keeping until evening.
1t seems that one of the children
had for the moment stopped shooting
off the fire crackers, and had placed
the remaining fire crackers, together
with a smoldering piece of punk, in
the closet. The result was that a
short time later the household was
aroused by the explosion of some of
the pieces, and the closet was found
to be in flames. Several of the ladies
rushed into the closet and carried
the flaming paper packages from the
house. Fortunately none of the larger
pieces of the fireworks exploded. and
the blaze was soon eXtinguished The
fire department was not summoned.
Although they risked grave injury
in removing the fireworks from the
closet, none of the ladies sustained
any burns. The small confiagratior
