HATTESBURC MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON JUNE Is 1910
Mr.. CAMP returns
FROM CULVER, Ind.
Went to See His Son, Richard, Grad.
uate From the Military College
at That Place.

Mr.. H. A. Camp reached home this
morning from Culver, Ind, and busi-
ness trip to Chicago, Ill. Mr.. Camp
saw his son, Richard F., graduate at
the Culver Military College, and is
naturally much gratified at the fine
work done in that institution. The
graduating class numbered sixty-five,
and of this number Richard Camp
was the only one who successfully
took the full classical course and Sc
cured the full diploma in classical
work. The school offers each year a
handsome gold medal for the best
speller, and while the enrolment is
$40 and all are entitled to participa-
tion in this contest, the medal went
to this Hattiesburg boy, who spelled
one hundred catch words without a
mistake.
Another source of qualification to
Mr. Camp was the fact that when he
reached Culver he found that his son
had applied to the Studebaker Wagon
Co., of South Bend, Ind, for a posi-
ton, and had secured it. This is one
of the largest manufacturing compa
MES of wagons, buggies and automo
biles in the nation, and a young man
who gets start with them has the
opportunity for rapid advancement.
From Culver Mr.. Camp Joined Mr.
John Street of Hattiesburg and Mr.
r. w. Hinton of Lumberton, in Chi
cago, where they made a large ant
successful deal for some South Missis
sippi timber lands.

casion has not been arranged some of
the amusements contemplated are

ball, while there will probably be sew
eral other attractions, which will be

One feature of the program will
probably be a number of amusements
by a well known carnival company,
representative of which is in the city
today in conference with Secretary
Bixler. It has also been planned to
have automobile races, provided
suitable course can be had near Kam-
per Park, where the celebration will

The balloon ascension, fireworks
and ball game are already certainties,
and if it is found impracticable to
secure the other amusements men,
toned. others will be substituted and
nothing will be left undone to make
the occasion success.

except the drug stores, will be closed
as usual on that day, SO that every
body may have an opportunity to take

mercial club will Immediately begin

NORTHERN CAPITALISTS
WANT MISSISSIPPI LANDS
(Clarion-Ledger.)

The cut over lands of Mississippi
are coming more and more into notice
every day. Not so much so by our
own people as by those from a dis
tance, especially the capitalists of the
North. who would purchase them for
the colonization of parties desiring to
engage in the truck raising industry.
Yesterday there was a party of
Northern capitalists, consisting of in
vestors and representatives of big
corporations, visiting the several of
| fees of the State capitol seeking what
information they could get as to these
lands. The party was composed of
H. o. Engelke, of the Frisco system;
F. B. Fuller, of the New York Central
and F. ]. Shermerhorn. a st. Louis
speculator.
They seemed very much interested
in Mississippi lands in general, but

WILL NOT BE A
HEAVIER Vote
In Mississippi Primary Election For
State, County And District Offices
Next Year.
Special to The NeaDS.

Special to The NeaDS.
Jackson, Miss, June 15.-According
to present plans, the vote in Missis-
sippi's primary election for state,
county and district officers next year
will not exceed that cast in the state
election of 1907.
A general elimination of disquali-
find electors through thorough purg-
ing of the registration and poll books
is promised, and this means that sew
eral thousand persons who have here
tofore been allowed to take part in
the election will be dropped.
1t is a well-known fact that in the
election of 1907 not less than 5000
persons voted who had no legal right
to do so. The names of these persons
were on the registration books, but
they had not paid their poll taxes. Not
withstanding this fact, county boards
of election commissioners transferred
their names to the poll books, and the
padding of the electorate lists in some
counties was nothing short of shame
| full.
The state board of election commits
sioners is composed of the Governor
/ Attorney General and Secretary OF
State. 1t is learned on authority that
these commissioners, in naming the

and large tracts of them were bought
up>at that time at a very low price.
They were then covered by a heavy
growth of the most magnificent pine
forests, and have already returned
fortunes by the conversion of this in
to lumber. They are now barren Of
their growth, but are well adapted to
the raising of vegetables, sugar cane
and other plants, and the thrifty farm
er, who knows how to annually enrich
his lands instead of continually wear
ing them out with the cultivation OF
one crop, will again return handsome
rewards.
While the gentlemen here were not
giving out too much in regard to their
plans, it seemed to be their idea to
buy large bodies of these lands and
then colonize them with people from
the North and other sections, allot-
ting to each small area, thus cutting
them up into many homes, thereby in
creasing the population of the State
and adding to its wealth.
This is the class of immigration
that Mississippi needs and the sooner
she gets it rhe better it will be.

Poplarvlle, Miss, June 15.-The
most important and surprising thing
the recent special grand jury did
that has been made public up to this
time was found out today when j. R.
Fornea and James Major Wheat were
arrested and placed under $4,000 each
on a charge of murder.
They are two white men, respecta-

in the western part of this county,
and the latter is 60 years old and new

before.
Both are men of families and farm
ers and lifelong residents of this
county. They are indicted for having
killed the unknown negro woman
whose body was found about four
miles from here on White Sand Creek,
about three months ago. 1t was a
surprise to everybody when it was
learned they we're under arrest, as
the April grand jury failed to find any

of c. E. McGregor, the young white
