KEPT The FAITH.

Eight years ago a democratic conven-

of the party and gave me the commits
sion as its candidate. Four years later
that commission was renewed. | come
tonight to this democratic convention
to return the commission and to say
that you may diapute whether | finish
ed my course, but you cannot deny
that l have kept the faith. Cheers.
William J. Bryan.
The above were the words of
William Jennings Bryan before
the St. Louis convention four
years ago. Mr.. Bryan was then
as he has been since 1896, the
most popular man in the demo
cratic party and his appearance
before that convention gave evi.
dence of this fact. AS he stat
ed to the convention, he hac
kept the faith. In the fight
to win the presidency for the
party he continued to keep the
faith, and during the years that
followed he has continued to be
true and loyal to the people Of
this country. He will again be
the standard bearer Of his party
and will again make a good fght
but whether he wins or losses NJ
man can every say that Mr.. Bry.

RECORD
AGAIN BROKEN
Robinson Store Was the Mecca Of
Local Shoppers in Katties-
burg Yesterday.

II The sale record in Hattiesburg has
been broken.
All of yesterday, from the time the
doors of Robinson's doors were open
ed until dark crowds thronged the
store eager to take advantage of the
sure enough bargains. 1t was pc
culiar and interesting spectacle to
stand in the front door and watch the
immense throngs. So dense was the
crowd that many were forced to Leave
without even being waited upon In
all this excitement the managers
stood on tables and counters calling
for sales people, either male or fe-
male or both, but no response came
as already an army of clerks were on
the floor. Those who left will go
back this morning as even greater
bargains are to be offered.
A faint idea can be determined IS
to bargains when we state that three
spools Of Coats thread were sold for
five cents, Bingham at three cents per
yard and sheeting at seven and eight
cents. Undoubtedly the largest
crowd ever gathered together were in
Robinson's store and they bought. 1t
was no place or time for idle visiting.
People were too anxious to get what
they wanted and get out, as the air
was so warm it was almost unbear-
able.
Messrs. Fox & Co., who have charge
of this sale have succeeded in reviv-
ing trade and yesterdays sales at
Robinson's is proof enough that there
Is yet plenty of money in Hatties-
burg.
Today they will put on more SEN
sational bargains in new spring goods.
See the ad this morning and bring
your wagon load of buyers.

Sensitive JuPymcn.

President Roosevelt has succeeded
in getting the "a jurors of the Thaw
trials down on him. In dispatch all
the way from Butte, Mont. the other
day the president was credited with
the declaration that Harry Thaw
ought to have been hanged and that
"all the members of the two juries
that failed to convict Thaw ought to
be hanged with him. The Thaw iur-
ors have formed an organization and
a meeting is to be called to take some
action protesting against such Ian
guage on the part of the president of
the United States. While it Is posi-
BILE the president never gave utterance
to the declaration attributed to him,
what will puzzle the public in this con-
nection is how "a men bound together
by so uncanny an association as chanc-
ing to be fellow jurors at the Thaw
trials can be at all sentitive to such
an alleged criticism of them - how
they can possibly have their fineness

this with the prompt and careful eX-

peas, asters and other flower seeds,
and the best vegetable and field seeds,
garden tools and poultry supplies, to
say nothing of plants and bulbs of ev-
cry description, are described in this
garden book.

to vegetable and flower seed growers,
and this year is no exception. c. CrOpp

For just term or two.
He'd drive the grafters from the land
And give good men show
And have an honest government.

Each day would multiply.
He'd give the nations treasure box

Perhaps. Well never know.
He wouldn't let the ship of state
Sail any way but straight:
He wouldn't make all grand reforms
Out in the lobby wait,
And every bill would have to be
Exactly on the square,
For there would be monkey work
II only Bill were there.

Get statesmen of that sort

We'd hear but good report.

Prohibition Does Not Pro-
hibit.
LBY THE PRESS COMMITTEE OF THE
ANTI-PROHIBITION LEAGUE.I

IBY THE PRESS COMMITTEE OF THE
AUTHORIZATIONS LEAGUE.I
Some of the prohibition leaders are
ready to admit that, for some reason
or other. their cause has lost ground
in Rock Island during the last couple
of weeks. in spite of all the. work they
have done. The sober second thought
OF many persons has convinced those
persons that they ought not to vote
the saloons out; that regulation is the
best that can be accomplished; that
prohibition would not prohibit, that,
therefore it would be unwise to sub
stitute the drug store and the joint
for the saloon, since the revenue from
the licensing of the latter makes up
a considerable and necessary part
of the income from which the city de-
trays the expenses of government and
Improvement
The business men have pretty gen
orally believed that this is the senti-
ment that would prevail, as soon as
the discussion has become general and
time has elapsed for the formation of
public opinion on the subject. They
have understood that the success OF
the prohibitionists would mean blow
at the prosperity of the community
but they have had confidence that
the voters would decide the matter
in the light of all the facts and by the
use of calm Judgment and common
sense.
The thing to do now is to make the
defeat of the prohibitionists SO deci
/ sive at the polls that all will have tC
unite in seeking a plan of regulation
in accordance with what will suit {
large majority of the people; instead
of fighting on along the same line
with insufficient attention paid to bet
tering saloon conditions.
