LONDON SUFFRAGETTES CAM
PAIGN

The idea of involving King Edward
in the crisis originated duriug tie first
week of last month in the ,nlnd of
Mrs. Despard. She is known to be III
heartiest accord with the attitude OF
Sarah Grand and to have felt that the
compromised the movement Char
lotte French Despard, who is now in
her sixty-fifth year, was for a time
one of the most vehement of Mrs.
Pankhurst's lieutenants. There was
a time when Mrs. Despard, too, be-
lieved in hurting frenzied cohorts
against ministries entrenched behind
police. She has since been brought
to see with Sarah Grand that at is
the respect we inspire that our cause
will be won" Widowed twenty years
ago, Mrs. Despard has been prominent
as a Socialist, as an author of works
dealing with India and as a publicist
endowed with many gifts of style. At
ter serving as a poor law guardian on
various municipal bodies, she built
hall for laboring men and helped
start the labor party. She has been
accused of aristocratic tendencies, the
result of her partisan birth, and to
be slightly too fond of leadership. But
this, say her friends, is also the defect
of Mrs. Pankhurst. Their serious diff
ferences have threatened once or
twice to put the feminist forces to
confusion. A little over two years
ago Mrs. Despard was sent to Jail
because of her participation in one
of the many Pankhurst descents upon
the House of Commons. Not long after
her release she helped to found that
Women's Freedom League which
now opposes the Pankhurst policy
while striving for the Pankhurst prin-
ciple. Mrs. Despard won the greatest
victory achieved in behalf of votes
for women throughout the entire cam
paign when Mr.. Asquith opened the
front door of No. 10 Downing street
to the deputation from the Women's
Freedom League and deferentially re-
ceived from Mrs. Despard's own hands
the huge role of linen parchment upon
which are inscribed the names of over
a hundred thousand of the women of
petitioning for the vote

Officers Moore and Norwood made
an early raid Sunday morning about
3 O'Clock on the house occupied by
Jack Rodgers on Mobile street and
found in full blast seven descendants
of Sunny Africa-four men and three
women-very much interested in a
game of skin
Judge Davis told them this morning
to fork over the usual fine of $500
and costs or skin out" on the streets.
And with sad faces a few of these
men paid over the hard cash so easily
earned while the others will work and
also be debarred the pleasure of an
other game so interesting to them.

experience, a dream of strange beau

very real and tangible, directly arous-

of antiquity, the instant response of
the pleasure-loving human heart, like
voluminous melody on the cello.

Every one was building himself a rude
wooden booth, as for some Christian
feast of tabernacles, while the porce-

Our Lady were unpacking acres of
coarse pottery and weissen figurines.
A lane of Dresden's DISTINGUISHING

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
DO 1T NOW.

With the return of prosperous con-
ditions throughout the United States,
will come opportunities for both COM
munjties and individuals to increase
their own prosperity, and there is no
section which can possibly profit SO
greatly as South Mississippi, if the
people will only take the opportunity.
So bring about the possible develop
ment of this section, to accomplish the
greatest results, we must begin work
right now. Do it now must be our
motto, for with prosperity at its flood
tide there will be thousands of peo-
pie looking for new homes in com
try that offers them greatest oppor-
tunities and there is no section which
can enumerate so many possibilities
for the creation of wealth as South
Mississippi. To get the greatest re-
suits, however, there must be the
closest cooperation between all inter-
ests. 1t is impossible for one land
owner to do anything alone. 1t must
include almsot ali Of them. Above
everything else, we must have some
values set on these lands and then let
Us advertise their advantages, and the
man who is looking for new home
will know just exactly what to expect
when he comes here. 1t is also high
ly important that something be done
to attract as manv visitors as possible
this fall Weather conditions in the
South have been very unfavorable in
many states and South Mississippi had
her share of the excessive rainfall, but
notwithstanding that fact, we have
some of the finest corn and cotton
that has ever been raised in any coun-
try. This is the time to show these
things to the people who have had

AMERICAN BARN DANCE.

The American barn dance, now one
of the leading novelties of the London
ball rooms, has ben introduced in this
country. Several society women
startled the community with IS. r.
Henry's Barn Dance" to which they
donced the figures of the irginia reel
and the hoe-down. Since then the
band and orchestras have taken up
the craze.
The method in which the dance is
interpreted is that of six couples who
swing their partners to cenral poiht
then waltz back to an angie formed
by the first retreating coupe, who, in
turn, exchange partners. The follow
ing strains indicate the musical theme
TO which this is done:

crop failures elsewhere. Our cotton
and corn will speak more eloquently
than words and we must find some
way of attracting the attention of the
people to the facts as they exist here
Now is the time to push things and
let us not forget that while lumber
will again bring us prosperity, that
we must make provision for the fu-
ture by developing our cut-over lands.

A
Christmas Episode
BY
H. Edmund Kemble, ordway

There was qu.tea little suppressed
..,,ement at the Marsten's, and well
,here might be, for this was Christmas
p.o and all the household were max.
in, nreparatiOns for the following day.
The happiness of one wee little person
...med the main object OF all-little
CYNTHIA Marstcn, the heiress to the
Marsten million.
.Cynthia, dear" said Mrs. Marsten,
uuttle girls should be In bed; It's
seven o'clock and old St. Nicholas
don't Ike little girls who stay up SO
late"
"All right. mother, dear" answered
Cynthin, ''and, mother. will Santa
really bring me the talking doll
tomorrow"
"Yes, dear" replied Mrs. Marsten.
So Cynthia, breathing her little
childish prayers, went quickly to
sleep to dream perhaps (who knows?)
Of dear Old Santa and a glorious to-
morrow.
1t may have been four hours later.
The last OF the family had retired,
each proving the old adage. "Where
ignorance Is bliss" etc, for within
the shadows of the tir trees which
lined the driveway, stood "a silent tg.
ure, waiting and watching as the
lights one by one were cxtinguished
by the family butler till all was 10
darkness.
Not a breath OF air stirred without
the house, and within the silence was
so intense that the old hall clock 10

Cynthia softly to herself. IL wonder

her bed and clasping her beloved
dollie tightly to her breast, she quick
ly and silently descended the stairs.
