CHANGE IN CIPHER
MESSAGES
ONLY FIVE LETTERS MAY BE
USED AS A WORD IN CODE
DISPATCHES, ACCORDING TO
NEW RULES OF W. L.

The Western Union telegraph
company has announced change in
the rules regarding cipher messages.
Heretofore, the limit to the number
of letters in each word not a dictiOn-
airy work. has been 10 letters. It
now will be five.
Following is the notice of the
Western Union company:
please note that commencing De-
cember l all groups of letters, wheth-
er pronounceable or not, when such
groups are not dictionary words and
are not combinations of dictionary
words, will in domestic messages be
counted at the rate of five letters to
the word, instead of ten letters as at
present. Figures, decimal points and
bars of division will be counted. each
separately, as one word.
This change is necessitated by
the growing use of artificial words
in code messages and the abnOr-
mally heavy cost of handling such
words. Adopted originally to cover
occasionally artificial words which
had inadvertently been incorporated
in commercial or private codes. ad-
vantage has been taken of the pro-
nounceable' rule by code makers to
construct codes based wholly upon
arbitrary groups of letters, two or
more of which groups are in them
selves combined in on ten-letter
word. The combinations are extreme
ly difficult to correct Geographic
transmission and at the present
count and rates are handled at a
loss.
The change affects only words Of
this class, and dictionary words en-
ployed in code messages will con-
tinue to be counted as one word.
incidentally, the rule for counting
each letter a word in arbitrary I'M
pronounceable combinations is abol-
ished. The rules for counting of
cable messages are governed by in
ternational agreement and are un-
changed.

Boston, Sept. Jesse Pomeroy,

len was left for the last but not least
speaker. Rev. R. K. Jayne-an ordain-
ed minister who is not working at it
regularly, but who knows how just
the same. Mr.. Jayne began by express
ing regret that Chief Allen was not
present, because he always hated to
talk about a man behind his back.
He was sure that there would have
been no need for detectives If the po-
lice had done their duty. He ridiculed
the idea that the police chief can do
nothing without the sanction of the
mayor. 1.-THE mayor can make him
do when he won't do, but can't stop
him when he wants to do something"
he said, "Chief Allen is all right whAn
we make him all right, and it looks as
If we've got to do it. 1t won't pay
to run blind tiger with a chief of
police in town."
Mr. Jayne then told how easy it
was to locate blind tiger and assert
ed that if he was chief of police or
sheriff he would run them all out and
pour out all their stock of liquors. He
wanted to obey the scriptural injunc-
ton and "chasten" them. He said he
was a good friend of the blind tiger
operators, and expected to be after
they were chastened-or chased-but
that they must quit their meaness.
After taking a parting shot at the
lawyers who defended the tigers in
court and giving some very good reas-
ons why he was not a lawyer himself,
Mr., Jayne concluded amid great ap-
planse.
Gov. Longino then thanked the
speakers for their remarks, and re-
ferring to criticism to the effect that
advertising the criminality of the city
might drive away people who might
settle here, said that the advertising
afforded by this campaign could drive
away no law abiding citizen, and that

EINcoLN's FAME MARRIED.

Mrs. Somebody-or-other, from some
where or other, now recalls that her
husband saved the life of Abraham
Lincoln, when he was passing through
the railroad station at Baltimore on
the way to his first Inauguration. The
method OF salvation consisted in
throwing a lighted bomb out of the
car window,
Mrs. Somebody-or other further re-
lates that she has never told the story
before because her husband told her
it must be kept a secret. Aside from
the remarkable fact of a womans
keeping a secret for nearly fifty years
is the further fact that If the bomb
exploded when it was thrown out Of
the car window, no one in Baltimore
knew of it at the time. The bomb was
not likely to have exploded without
attracting attention. That it did no
attract attention, would seem to indi
cate that it did not explode. If it die
not explode, wherein was Lincoln's
life in danger.
1t is recorded that Lincoln prided
himself somewhat on his gift as a
story teller. 1t is a merciful thing
that he cannot return to discover how
meager was his gift.

WORKING. THE PAPER.

The following from the Brookhaven
Leader is just as true of Hattiesburg
as of Brookhaven, and vice versa.
1t is the one long-drawn-out nightmare
in the life of every publisher. and it
seems that no amount of elucidation
on the subject can convince the public
that newspaper is business institu-
ton, depending almost entirely on its
advertising for support. The Leader
says:
Nobody except those in the bust
ness have any realization or idea of
how many direct calls are made up
on newspapers by individuals, en-
terprises or interests of various kinds
for space and publicity every week
and all free! Not only do these come
from local sources, but from the out
side in every other direction. If the
editor didn't have resort to the waste
basket, he could literally fill nearly
every issue of The Leader with matter
and subjects offered in this way with
out line of space in which to pub
fish an item or idea of his own initia-
tive. The reader might like to see
a copy of The Leader gotten up in
that way, but if SO, he would not wish
to see but one. And this leads us to
remark that an editor is often entitled
to more credit for what he doesn't
publish in his paper than what he
| does"
