That the poem had literary merit to
redeem its filth was never for mo-

authors sincerity was accepted.

passing sentence, Il should give him
the limit of the law. But l believe that
he meant 1T as a literary effort and did

TAX ASSESSORS
TO Hold Meeting
At jackson and viii Discuss Unequal
tiles Of Assessments in Mis-.
sissippi.

Special to The News.
Jackson, Nov. ga call will be
issued within the next few days for a
convention of the county assessors of
Mississippi, to be held in this city,
and at which subjects to be presented
for legislative consideration will be
discussed.
The assessors of several southern
counties are behind the movement,
and the call for the convention is
now being formulated.
In view of the fact that inequalities
in the assessment laws will be one of
the most important subjects brought
before the legislature, the meeting of
assessors, and free exchange of ideas
plans and suggestions will be of ex.
ceptional interest.
For several years the South Missis-
sippi Legislators have been making a
lively clamor over alleged inequalities
in assessments, and this topic occu-
pied large share of consideration
when the joint legislative assessment
commission met in Jackson several
weeks ago, with Speaker H. M. Street
presiding, to formulate a plan for
legislative consideration. The report
of this committee has never been
made public but it is understood that
majority of it's members favored
constitution amendments to cure the
alleged defects.
1t is customary for the county sher
IFS and tax collectors to hold a bien
NAL convention just prior to the meet
ing of the legislature or within the
first week Of its session but thus fal
no call for gathering of these Of
ficials has been issued or suggested

Special to The News.
Jackson, Nov. 26.-With the partial
opening of the bird-shooting season
comes the usual wrestle with the
game laws of the State and of the
several counties, large number of
which have imposed special restric-
lions and some of which have pro-
hibited shooting entirely during the
present season.
The result is that many well-known
and law-abiding persons have been
arrested for invading the domains of
adjoining counties to their own, some.
times unmindful of the fact that they
were getting out Of their own county,
and many otherwise law-abiding men
are permitted to shoot unmolested in
prohibition territory, owing to lax en-.
forcement OF the laws.

An INSTANCE OF
Id QUICK RETURNS
News Advertisers Who Got Immediate
Results From Advertisements
In This Paper.

Convincing proof of the sure and
quick returns resulting from adver-
Using in The Hattiesburg News comes
from Mobile. The Gould Motor Car
Co., of that city, agents in this terri
tory for the Cadillac cars, made con-
tract with The News only a week or
two since and the advertising has run
only three or four times. In each ad
parties interested in the purchase of
car were invited to write the Gould
Motor Car Co. for full information
Almost with the appearance of the
first ad inquiries were received from
this territory and the company soon
felt it incumbent to send one of their
statesmen here for a personal inter-
view and to demonstrate the Cadillac
possibly the greatest all-purpose car
in existence.
Mr.. w. H. Florentine was selected
for this work and can be found at the
Hotel Hattiesburg during the present
week. Mr.. Florentine is thoroughly
familiar with the subject, is enthus-
iastic over the Cadillac and will dem
onstrate all the models of this car
while here. He will take pleasure in
talking with all persons interested in
the purchase Of a car and can give
some valuable information.

LIVELY CONTEST
HAS DEVELOPED
For U. s. District Attorneyship For
Southern District Of Mis-
sissippl.
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
jackson, Nov. ga lively and
somewhat unexpected contest has de-
veloped for the United States district
attorneyship for the southern district
of Mississippi, now held by Hon. R.
C. Lee, of Madison, whose term ex-
pires next month.
Until a few days ago it was gener-
ally believed that Mr.. Lee would not
meet with much opposition, but two
aspirants for his berth have appeared
in the field, and are making an ener.
getic effort to secure endorsements to
be transmitted to President Taft.
The two candidates are State Sen
ator Charles F. Eagle. of Natchez, and
Hon. William Parsons, of Summit,
both well-known members of the
South Mississippi bar, and friends are
making an energetic canvass in their
behalf.
The attitude of the Federal patron.
age referees, Messrs. F. w. Collins
and L. B. Moseley, on this contest has
not yet been made public, and the two
gentlemen are showing a reticence on
the subject which is not unexpected in
view of the fact that the three aspir
ants are Democrats.
The other large and Juicy plums
soon to drop from the patronage tree
are also being looked at long and Low
ingly. Among the appointments fol
Mississippi to be made by the pres!
dent shortly after congress convenes
are postmaster for Jackson, a United
States marshal, and register of the
land office. Several first class post
masters in the large cities of the
state, and district attorney for the
northern district, are to be named
early in January.
