said MORGAN HAD
been FALSE TO HER
Had Left Her And Went Away With
Another Woman, Who Was Not His
Wife.-News Receives Letter
From the "Real" Mrs. Morgan.

]. w. Morgan, the man who was in
Hattiesburg last week looking for his
wife, whom, he stated, he had left at
Columbia some days previous and
from whom he had not heard for
several days, Notwithstanding the
fact that he had made diligent search
for her and appeared to be much con-
cerned for her safety, was evidently
looking for someone who was not mis-
lawful wife, else he is bigamist.
Morgan, in conversation with a
News reporter, told what seemed to
be an honest, straightforward story
about the disappearance of his So
called wife, and seemed to be gen
timely concerned for her safety. He
stated that he had accepted work at
a point in Louisiana, and that his
wife had decided to visit some of her
relatives at Gulfport, after which she
would join her husband in Louisiana
Morgan related how he had accom-
panied her to the station at Colum-
bia, had purchased a ticket for her
and had boarded train for his des-
tination in Louisiana, expecting his
wife to leave short while afterward
for Gulfport, from which point she
was to write him as soon as she
reached there. Failing to hear from
her, Morgan became uneasy. he stat
ed and began to search for his miss
ing better half, but without success
Finally he appealed to the newspaper
to help locate her, and the News ac-
count of the affair has brought let
ter from one who claims to be the
only genuine Mrs. Morgan.
! The letter, which is printed below
is self-explanatory, although The
News does not vouch for it's authen-
ITCHY:

c. MkENzIE
For COMMISSIONER
Lar Alderman From Third Ward
r&1oe His Castor Into the Local
|. Political Arena.

I'M the proper column of The News
today will be found the announcement
of R. C. Mckenzie, as a candidate for
the office of Commissioner of the city
of Hattiesburg, subject to the wishes
of the democratic voters.
Mr.. Mckenzie will make the race
for this office on his record as a
citizen, as a public servant, and upon
the conscientious and faithful per-
formances of his dtuies as such, and
invites the most rigid investigation of
his public and private acts as evil
dence of the faithful performance of
public trust.
At the last municipal election Mr..
Mckenzie was chosen by large ma
iority to serve the citizens of the
Fourth ward as a councilman, and
since the election has devoted the
larger portion of his time to the city's
business, as a result of which he is
thoroughly familiar with all depart
ments of the municipal government.
During his term of office he has
gained the reputation of being one of
the most careful financiers on the
present board, and knows where ev-
cry dollar of the public money is to
go before the warrants are issued. He
examines all accounts presented to
the board, and unless they are known
to be Just and correct beyond doubt
will not sanction the issuance of a
warrant until the account has been
proven to be correct
While Mr.. Mckenzie has been zeal
GUS and active in behalf of the citi
zens of the ward which he represents
he has also been equally careful Of
the interests of the entire citizenship
and is always ready to take up any
Just cause in behalf of the people al
whole.
He has the backbone and courage
to express his honest sentiments upol
any public question, regardless O
whether or not his colleagues agre
with him, and he has usually beel
found to be right on all such ques
tions. Mr.. Mckenzie will make a
active canvass of the city, and Wi
explain his attitude on all publ
questions.

Another BLOW
TO LIQUOR TRADE
Two Women Given Heavy Fines For
Occupying House Where intoxi-
eating Liquors Were Sold.

That the city police is attacking the
liquor traffic from every available
point was evidenced in police court
this morning when two women, Marie
Warwick and Ruth Oakes, were tried
on a charge of occupying houses
where intoxicating liquors were kept
and offered for sale in violation of
law.
The Oakes woman appeared in
court and pleaded not guilty. and
trial of the case resulted in fine OF
S100 and a sentence of 80 days in jail,
while Marie Warwick was tried in
her absence, plea of not guilty be-
ing entered, and like fine and prison
sentence was imposed in her case.
The affidavits upon which these
women were tried stated that the
defendant Did, on or about the 10th
day of April, unlawfully be the occu-
pant of house In Mayfower Park
survey, where intoxicating liquors
were kept and offered for sale in VIC
lation of law, and did then and there
connive thereat."
The law on occupancy provides
the same penalties as those provided
for the unlawful sale of liquors, where
it is shown that the occupant is aware
that whiskeky is being kekt and of
fered for sale on the premises.
