BAY ST.LOUIS ASKS
ABOUT SILVER SET
Governor Noel Will Call Meeting Of
the Commission One Day
Next Week.

Jackson, April 21.-The Bay st.
Louis Commercial club has written
Governor Noel anent the presentation
OF the silver service to the battleship
Mississippi, showing, as is natural.
considerable interest BY resolution
Of the legislature the navy depart
ment was requested to send the big
ship to Bay st. Louis to receive the
silver service, and has agreed to do
SO. The trouble now is that there
is no silver service to present, and
the outlook for getting one is not
fiattering.
Asked what he proposed to do
about raising the $4,000 necessary
Governor Noel states that he under.
stands some two or three thousand
dollars is available, having been
raised during Governor vardaman's
administration by voluntary subscrip-
tons to the silver service fund. The
legislature was called on to appro-
pirate $500 foE this purpose, but de-
clined to give a cent
However, the legislature did ac-
knowledge some little interest in the
cause by naming the governor. ex-
governor and the director of ar
chives and history to take hold OF
the matter and raise the money nee
essary.
Archivist Rowland is now in Wash
ington looking after historical associa-
ton matters, and is expected to re-
turn to Jackson next Monday. I'm
mediately after his arrival Governor
Noel will call a meeting of those
three and see If they cannot outline
plan of campaign by which the
cash may be raised.
The governor appreciates the fact
that it would be an everlasting dis
grace to the state of Mississippi to
fail to present this silver service, now
that it has through its legislature In
vited the batleship to anchor OF her
coast for the purpose Of permitting a
presentation and big time generally.
His idea is by interesting the school
children. of whom there are half a
million, the members of the National
Guard, the Confederate Veterans and
other social and fraternal organize
tons, the mones may be raised on
time.
1T has been suggested here that a
day be designated as "BattleshiI
Day" in the public and private schools
1 of the state, and on which day every
child will be requested to bring al
least one dime for this purpose. This
would give them all an interest ant

when such things can be avoided.
And If Hattiesburg possessed this
rare animal, described as the "only
one in captivity" there would be no
further necessity for doing SO.
If people travel many miles to the
neighboring village of Moselle and
willingly contribute 10 cents to see
this rare animal, they would flock to
Hattiesburg by the thousands for the
same purpose. and the probability is
that they would pay Is cents just as
readily as 10 to get a look at the
warmth
This influx of visitors would not
1 only provide revenue for the city, but
it would break up the panic so far
as Hattiesburg is concerned.
1t is up to the council, and the
Daily News is confident that prompt
action will be taken in the matter.
