Exposition. Comrades from the State En-.
campment at Tacoma were brought to Sc
attic early Thursday morning by steamer,
and were among the first to enter the main
gates. One feature of the Exposition par
ticularly interesting to the visitors was
found in the panoramas of Gettysburg and
the Battle of the Monitor and Merrinac
The fife and drum corps of the Gettysburg
attraction was never without a gathering
of listeners, and many an old soldier was
unable to resist the temptation to take
the sticks again in his hands and show

Cav, Rochester, N. Y, sends us a clipping
from the Rochester papers, giving an ac
count of the general observance of Flag
Day in that city. He says that Rober:
Attridge, who is Patriotic Instructor of c
A. Glidden Camp, No. 6S, o. ", made a
house to house canvass of his neighbors
to get them TO display flag on Flag Day.
Each of them did so, and at night there
was an illumination. In the evening there
was a patriotic meeting at Comrade At
tridge's home, where an interesting pro-
gram of exercises was carried out with
addresses by Milton L. Gibbs and Arthur
Warren, of G. A. Glidden Camp, and
music and singing. About 1900 schoo
children marched in the parade and sang
the "Star-S -Spangled Banner" and other pa
triotic songs, and gave the Flag salute.

Geo. A.
Don't give up hope. my friend. You have
evidently been trying the wrong means to
cure eczema. 1t is not blood disease. and
all the blood purifiers in the world will not
cure eczema.
Local applications of some standard oint-
ment to the afflicted parts will do you good;
but you object to grease. by all means
try Remove. which will kill the eczema germ
and make new skin, free from itch or

BRITAIN MAY SEND A FLEET
Squadron Of BattIeshIps Be Sent to
San Francisco to Participate
In Festivities.

London.-That the British govern.
ment will not only send one battle
ship, but probably squadron of bat
tleships to participate in the festivi-
ties in San Francisco harbor during
the week Of October 10, Is the encour-
aging information Just given to
Charles A. Moore Of San Francisco by
First Lord Of the Admiralty McKenna.
Lord McKenna said:
1--WE feel that the feat accomplished
In rebuilding San Francisco is typical
Of the spirit charactering the Anglo
Saxon race, and as SUCH should arouse
pride in every Briton as we'll as in all
Americans. Consequently not only do
we want to send a ship as evidence
that we share in the pride, but If pos
sible. we are likely to send a whole
squadron. Circumstances make 1t i'm
possible for me to say offhand whether
we shall be able to send a squadron,
for we couldn't transfer the Atlantic
squadron to the Pacific in time for
the celebration, and we have nothing
on the Pacific coast, adequately to
represent us. We want to send our
best battleships and not armored
cruisers"
There is good reason to believe that
Lord McKenna cabled the British
China station as to the expediency of
sending battleship squadron across
the Pacific from the far east.

Every city the size Of Hattiesburg
ought to have public park. Every
city with a public park should take
pride enough in it to make it at
trective comfortable and entertain
ing Hattiesburg has the Park; it
ought TO have the pride, and we be-
lieve will have, to beautify it. Every
thing cannot be done in a day. 1t
would not have been wise to have
spent much money on the park be-
fore the street cars became certain
ity. But now that the street cars
are certainty; now that they are
running right up to the park; now
that the people can use and enjoy the
park; now that these things have
come to pass, the park ought by all
manner of means to be improved and
beautified. And that cannot be done
without money. And the city faith
ers, acting for and in the interest of
Hattiesburg, must be looked to for
the money. A one mill tax for
park purposes we think would be
wise and reasonable thing to do We
believe it would be a good investment
Of the peoples money. We believe
it would be good advertisement for
the town. That it would be another
inducement for people to come and
make their homes here. And every
new conner brings more business with
him and some money to spend. There
is a tide in the affairs of towns, no
less than in the affairs of men, which,
If taken at the flood leads on to for
tune. That tide, unquestionably, is
knocking at the gates of Hattiesburg.
Be active, enterprising, progressive,
liberal. Throw wide the gates of
Hattiesburg open and let Prosperity
come in.

Commodore Peary, when he reaches
civilization, will be the worst dis.
appointed man that ever went n
goose hunting. He thinks he is a ia,
nous man. He will find his delusion
vain and unsubstantial dream"
The press of the country almost with
one accord, gives the credit of the
North pole discovery to Dr. Cook. He
got there first. and told his story
first. And when Peary came out
with his discovery story, the Doctor
magnanimously said, there is honor
enough for us ALL" The people liked
the calm confidence and magnanim-
ty of the man. And so when Peary
called him liar, 1t was all over
with Peary. 1t does not take the
body Of the people long to size
man up. Promptly, almost before
the type were cold and the ink dry,
they voted Commander Peary blust-
erer and braggart, and they can
never again be made to believe in
him. Unsubstantial but alluring
fame will mock his future like the
phantom Of a lost hope.

rats hurrowing beneath the founda-
ton of building. For that is what
the blind-tiger is doing. 1t is bur
rowing beneath the foundation stones
of Society and Home and State.
A boot-legger has no more right to
live in Mississippi than counterfeit
er has. He is doing in surrepti-
tious way what the saloon-keeper did;
stealing from women and children the
''inalienable right" to warm clothing
and wholesome food and kind treat
ment from husband and fathers
clothed in their right minds. He is
a plague upon Society, a pest upon
the community a disturber of the
public peace and tax upon legitimate
business. The business interests
have right to be protected from
him. He is a pariah. He is an out
law. He does not pay any taxes
He taxes others. He does not pro-
duce anything but pauperism and
crime. He takes the money that
should be spent for provisions and
clothes, and spends it upon bad wo-
men, in riotous living. All the mon
ey that goes into his hands is di-
verified from the channels of honest
industry. All the trade he gets robs
the licensed merchant of that much.
He ought not to be allowed to prey
upon the business interests of the
merchants of this city, Every dol
lar that goes into his Golfers, robs the
grocer or the baker or the butcher
or the dry goods or furnishing man
of Just that much trade. Aside from
all other reasons. social or moral, but
purely from a strictly business stand
point, the hand of every man should
be against the boot-legger, and public
opinion should demand the most ac-
tive and alert service upon the part
of public officials to drive him out
as his predecessor the saloon keeper
was driven out.
If there be those who insist upon
using strong drink, that is their priv
|ilege; their ''inalienable right" There
is legal way for them to get it.
And we submit that in fair dealing,
as honest, law-abiding citizens, they
should pursue that legal way and not
degrade themselves by patronizing
boot-leggers and blind tigers. We
do not sit in judgment upon any man
who chooses to exercise the ina
lienable right" of putting an enemy
into his mouth to steal away his
brains" But we do insist that every
gentleman should conform his habits
to the law of the land, and for de-
cency sake refuse to countenance or
endorse or patronize such pariahs as
boot-leggers and blind tigers.
