obtained, was at the corner of Main
and front streets. The time was dur.
ing the excitement incident to fire
| alarm which took the department to
the Main Street Methodist church. At
| the time police officers on Main street
were warning vehicles of all kinds to
move to the side of the streets to make
way for the fire department apparatus.
These orders, so far as could be seen,
were quickly obeyed.
During the excitement, with the
streets crowded with people trying to
catch a glimpse of the fire machines,
a little girl about nine years old was
crossing Main street on her way to a
place on Front street to take part in
a rehearsal of an amateur perform
ance of "Mikado," to be given soon
and in which a number of children will
take part.
While on the way to her place Of
destination, the negro Houze on his
bicycle came hurrying along, evidently
interested in the apparent excitement
ahead of him, and without dismount-
ing, attempted to ride his bicycle
through the crowd.
In doing this he knocked down the
little girl, who proved to be the daugh-
ter of Police Officer F. C. Cooper. AS
she fell several persons went to her
assistance and picked her up.
An examination showed that she
was not seriously hurt, but her face
was slightly lacerated, and a slight
swelling afterward developed on her
head caused by the force of the fall
on the hard street pavings.
Officer Doherty, who was near the
scene, ordering vehicles out of the
way. saw the little girl fall, and went
to the scene.
The negro was placed under arrest
taken to the police station, and the
charge of RECKLESS riding of bicN.
cIe'' docketed against him.
The little girl was all right next
morning, not suffering any more than
what would arise from such slight in
juries, with her parents gratified that
she escaped a broken limb or other
serious injury.
Thus ends a story of little girl run
down in a street in Hattiesburg by n
reckless negro rider of a bicycle.

GOVERNOR glenn
TO SPEAK HERE
COMES AT INVITATION OF DR.. r.
S. CAMPBELL.
North Carolina and is Now Devoting
His Time and Talents to the Lay
mans Missionary Movement.

Wednesday, April %, the citizens o.
Hattiesburg will have the pleasure
of welcoming and hearing the distin
guished North Carolinian, Ex-Governor
R. B. Glenn, at the Bay Street Presby
terrain church.
Governor Glenn comes to Hatties
burg through an invitation from DR.
r. S. Campbell, pastor for the Bay
Street church, which was extended
some months ago. Hattiesburg Will
be the only point in the state where
Governor Glenn will speak, at most
during his present tour, and his pres
ence in this city will attract much
attention. Many ministers and Wis
itors from neighboring towns are eb'
pected to be in attendance.
Governor Glenn served two terms
as governor of his state, and, it is
said confidently by his friends, that
he could have stepped from the state
capitol at Raleigh to the senate cham
Der in Washington. With the record
of never having been defeated fol-
any office for which he ever contest
ed, the suggestion from his friends to
place upon him the senatorial togl
was flattering temptation. But it
proved to be no temptation to MN,
since he had decided to retire from
notifies t. speak for Jesus Christ,
as he had promised himself.
Following out this decision he plac-
ed his services without personal wages
in the hands of the Home Mission
committee of the Assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church, and
now under the direction of that COM
mittee he is speaking in the interest
of Christ's Kingdom"
In extending a cordial invitation to
hear Governor Glenn at the Bay street
Presbyterian church in Hattiesburg,
DR.. Campbell, pastor of the church,
says:
zone who is interested in his Mas
ter's KINGDOM cannot fail to be deep
ly interested in such man, and in
the cause he espouses. Here in the
very midst of an ever increasing mis-
sion field, where needs multiply 90
rapidly that men and means cannot
be found to meet the demand, does
it not behoove us to become interested
and informed on such a vital subject"

case against Houze were w. c. Ben
nett and John Montague, both white
men. Neither was on the stand to
testify against the defendant.
Neither of the witnesses for the
prosecution was reported as in attend
ance when the trial was called.
Called upon by the court to enter
a plea, the negro boy pleaded mot
guilty" Justice Davis then entered
a fine of 81 and costs.
On hearing the judges sentence the
negro, with the grand air of a man
financially well equipped to pay any
fine imposed upon him, reached into
his pocket, pulled out a silver dollar,
and without so much as "by your
leave, SIR tossed the silver dollar on
to the police office docket lying in
front of Chief of Police Williams. The
negro then grabbed his hat, as if we'll
pleased with the fact that he had go
easily satisfied the demands of the
law, started to leave the courtroom,
and that in hurry.
There were instant orders from the
officers to Houze to go into the office.
This produced considerable merriment
in the courtroom, and this was added
to by the surprised way the negro
turned to obey the order. In the Of
flee he found a charge of $175 against
him for costs. But it does not appear
that he had prepared himself to meet
this contingency with the same off
hand manner in which he tossed his
dollar to the chief, and the negro was
sent out to get the full amount due
the city.

CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE
Read What Your Druggist
Says About Oil of Win

Druggist L. l.. Elgin submits the
following to the readers of the Ken
tuckian:
For several years we have an
noUnced, with our recommendation
that we had found a positive cure
for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil
of wintergreen compounded with
other healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have eczema,
and still have never tried this RENE
dy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the d. D. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer of trial bottle
at % cents instead of the $1.00 bot.
tie as regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with our
recommendation and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes
his itching skin, this mild liquid will
take the Itch away instantly. L. l..

"GOOBER" CROP
Will be Short in Virgi0ia
and North Carolina

Petersburg, Va, Oct. THE pea
nut crop in Virginia and NorthCaro-
lima will show a big decrease in
yield this year, according TO reports
from different sections of these two
States.
The average yield in these two
States in previous years has been
about 100000 bags of Virginias, of
four bushels, and about 100000 of
Spanish nuts. 1t is estimated that
the crop Of Virginias this year will
be about 70 per cent. The decreased
average is due to prolonged spell
of wet weather, during the planting
season, and a drought Of later date,
affecting the seed planting.

 Now what moved the Atlanta club to let him go?-Atlanta Journal.
 If all the bugs will get to pulling for George Carey. Scoops is going to show them the kind of playing that made him the best in the league for three years. Not that Scoops is sulking in his tent-for he's not built that way He'll be out fighting every day, but adverse criticism naturally takes the edge off mans playing, especially when the criticism descends to absolute banning, and unjust banning at that Scoops has never set the world afire with his batting very early in the race, but in this company he's pretty sure to stick around .250 when the season ends. That means lots of hits near the finish, when the goings hottest Carey likes Memphis, likes Babb, and would little bit rather play here than in any city in this league, but if he is traded off he'll give the club that he goes to yours truly is glad to say everything points to Scooper remaining a regular Turtle, for he's batting in better form, and none in this league can touch him in the fielding line.
