BONDS WILL MATURE
20 YEARS FROM date
Will Bear Five Per Cent Interest,
Payable semi-AnnuaIIy After First
Year.-First Payment to be Made
April S, 1911.

The city council last night adopted
an ordinance providing for the issu-
ance of bonds of the city of Hatties-
burg in the sum of s92, 500, in addition
to the sum of s57,5O0 already provided
for the purpose of procuring the loca-
tion of the Mississippi Normal Col
lege in Hattiesburg, the funds to be
used in the erection of buildings, pre-
pairing grounds and Ia meeting other
expenses incident to the building and
establishment of the college in Hat
tiesburg.
The ordinance provides that 5000
of said bonds shall be issued in de-
nominations of $500 each, and the bal
ance in denominations of s100 each,
all of said bonds to mature on Octo-
Der 5, 1880, being twenty years after
date of issue. They will be dated
October 3, 1910, and will bear inter-
est at the rate of five per cent per
annum from date, the interest to be
paid on the fifth day of April, 1911,
and semi-annually thereafter.
This action by the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen means that there can no
longer be any doubt about the city
bond issue for the Normal College.
During the time in which the notice
of the boards intention to issue the
bonds was being published no opposi.
tion of any character developed, the
time allowed by law for petitioning
against the proposition having ex.
pired yesterday. Tax payers of Hat.
tiesburg were a unit in wanting the
college located here and each did his
part toward securing the institution
for the Magic City.

HEADS BOLTERS
Georgia Democrats Contend That
There is No Possible Chance to
Defeat the Regular Ticket.
(By Associated Press.)

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 5.-An effort on
the part of certain factions in this
State to bolt the recent Democratic
primary and swing the vote from Hoke
Smith, Democratic nominee, added
unusual interest to the State election
today. Only two regular tickets for
a full list of State officers are in
the field, the Democratic ticket, head
ed by Hoke Smith, and the Socialist
ticket, headed by c. o. Brown, of At
lanta. The bolters, however, headed
by Tom Watson, have disturbed great
quantities of Independent tickets head
ed by Joseph M. Browns name. The
Democrats claim there is no chance
of defeat of the regular ticket.

and ANOTHER Man
SHOT IN HIS STEAD
Intended Victim of Feud Was Warned.
Another Person TraVersed Route
He Intended to Take.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 5.-The victim
OF another mans feud, Isaac Perkins,
farmer of Magoffin county, was shot
and killed from ambush. The intended
victim of the assassin traversed the
same mountain path few hours later

erer of Perkins body delayed his trip
across the mountains, finding the bull
let-riddled body when he reached the
place where he had been led to expect
an ambush.

DISPUTES Describing
VARDAMAN men CATTLE

Magnolia, Miss, Oct. 5.-Senator
Leroy Percy denied that he had char
acterized the following of his oppo-
nent as "red necks" and cattle" in
speech he made here Monday after
noon. 1t had been charged that Percy
applied the term in an address made
at Godbold Springs, at a Fourth of
July picnic. He was alleged to have
then called the vardaman supporters
cattle" Mr.. Percy characterized
the charge as "grotesque falsehood."
He said that crowd of about eight
men, detached slightly from the main
body of the crowd, were engaged in
interrupting him by boots and cries
of "Vardaman," "Bilbo" and Mary
Stamps"
Mr.. Percy says he turned to this
crowd and asked them if they didn't
really believe that the Vardaman sup
porters in the legislature, as we'll as
his, were crooked. Upon being an
swered in the affirmative, he asked
them simply, What kind of cattle do
you think follows Jim Vardaman?" to
which the crowd replied "Bilbo."

ADDITIONS INCLUDE
PROPOSED NORMAL SITES
An Ordinance Adopted Providing for
the Extension of City Limits to In
clude Tatum and Camp Prop
critics.

At regular meeting of the Mayor
and City Council, held last night, an
ordinance was adopted by which the
corporate limits of the city were ex-
tended so as to add one square mile
of new territory not heretofore in
cluded in the boundaries of the city
Of Hattiesburg.
This measure Is entitled can ordi-
nance to change and extend the corpor-
ate limits and boundaries of the City
of Hattiesburg so as to include within
the Corporate Limits of said City the
East half of the northeast quarter of
section seven, the west half of section
22, and the southeast quarter of Sec
tion 21, township 4, north of range 10,
west, in Forrest county, Miss, and
not heretofore included in the corpor-
ate limits of the City of Hattiesburg.
These extensions were made in or
der to include two of the sites which
have been rendered for the location
of the Mississippi Normal College, the
first being that of Mr.. H. A. Camp and
others, and situated in the western
portion of the city, and embracing the
east half of the northeast quarter
of section seven. The second is that
of Mr.. w. S. F. Tatum, and is situated
southeast of Hattiesburg. 1t embraces
the west half of section % and the
southest quarter of section 81, town
ship 4, north of range 13, west.
Taken together, these additions to
the city of Hattiesburg include one
square mile of territory, or one Sec
ton of land. 1t is understood that in
the event the college should not be
located on either site, the corporate
limits will again be contracted so as
to exclude them from the city confines.

new ORLEANS GETS
SLICEOF OKLAHOMA
AND TEXAS COTTON
rre'sht Rates Are Soaring as a Result
OF Movement Of Cotton Through
That Port.

New Orleans, Oct. 5.-In spite of
protests and expostulations from Gal
weston, the port of New Orleans is
going to handle a great deal of Texas
cotton this fall. In addition. it will
move to European ports a big slice
of the Oklahoma crop, which would
ordinarily move through Galveston.
The States recently printed an ar
ticle to the effect that there was a
strong probability of such shipments
coming about because of the great de-
mand for ocean freight room out of
Galveston which that port was not
able to supply. Galveston immedi-
ately got up on its ear and sent out
most vehement denials saying that
there was not word of truth in the
whole article.
Tuesday it was announced by ocean
freight brokers that ocean freight
room for a large quantity of cotton
originating IN both Texas and Okla
homa had actually been engaged out
of New Orleans and that the cotton
would be moved this month.
The demand for freight room for
cotton is so great that rates are soar
ing. Brokers are asking SO cents per
100 pounds for cotton for Liverpool.
This is the highest price recorded on
the boards on the Cotton Exchange
for many years. Those who are in
position to know say that it is ten
years.
The strong demand from Galveston
that much Texas cotton would have
through New Orleans this season
caused much amusement in shipping
circles in this city, for it was realized
that the foolishness of denying a fact
would soon be apparent. The only ex-
PLANTATION for the denials is that those
who sent them out were ignorant of
conditions in their own port.

he could not give out any definite in

a general trip of inspection to the
principal agricultural centers during
the past three weeks. He has Just re-

wheat and oats are concerned, and

Mr. Neyland is one of the best farm

London, Oct. 5.-According to the
Daily Mail, revolution broke out in
Lisbon yesterday (Tuesday)..
The dispatch adds that King Manuel
is prisoner; that street fighting has
occurred; that warships are lombard
ing the palace, and that all communi-
cation with the capital is cut Off
No Lisbon dispatches have been re-
ceived in London since yesterday af-
ternoon, when the Eastern Telegraph
Company annouced the receipt of one
from it's station at Carcavellos, eleven
miles from Lisbon, stating that all
communication with the capital was
interrupted.
The Daily Mail prints its report of
the revolution without a date line, and
it probably may be based upon
wireless dispatch, said to have been
received by the Paris Matin, reading:
"A revolution has broken out in Lis
bon and warships are now bombarding
the capital. The army and navy are
supporting the revolutionists.
None of the other morning papers
print London Lisbon dispatches or
have any mention of a revolution.
A Portuguese merchant in London
says that he received news of plot
in Lisbon on Monday.
The announcement of the death of
Prof. Bombarda, the Republican dep
uty and anti-clerical, who was shot
by the army lieutenant, Rebello, at
Lisbon, Monday, may have possibly
started a revolution.
Bombarda was a distinguished edu.
Gator. He was recently elected to the
Portuguese Parliament in the Republi-
can interest. His assailant, according
to some reports, was madman.
Hoisted the Flag of Revolution.
Santander, Spain, Oct 5-A German
steamer here has received wireless
from the steamer Cap Blanco, of the
same line, lying off Lisbon, stating
that warships began bombarding the
palace just as soon as the rising with
in the city began. Shortly afterwards
the revolutionists hauled down the
royal standard over the palace and re-
placed it with the Republican green
and-blue flag.
No Communication with Madrid.
Madrid, Oct. 5.-There has been no
communication between Madrid and
the Portuguese capital since Tuesday
morning. The only news of the revo-
luton came by wireless from Santan-
der. 1t is believed here that the rev.
olutionists have cut all telegraph wires
with the intention of restoring them
when they are prepared to announce
to the world that the republic has
been established.
Advices at Paris.
Paris, Oct. 5.-According to unoffi-
cial advices from Portugal, King Man
uel has taken refuge on the Brazilian
battleship Sac Paulo. DR.. Jose D. Al
poim, leader of the progressives, and
former minister of justice, is quoted
as saying "The king is wise and of
humane disposition, but he is badly
advised by the clerical clique at the
palace"

publican element, applauded the gov
ernment's action in expelling the

PUNISHMENT. THE REMEDY.

The decision OF the court upon an appeal from
Justice CrutchteId, that tho owner of an auto
mobile cannot be convicted of speeding unless ii
~ shown that he was in the ear at the time the
0ffense was committed seems 10 us to he sound
law. We do not understand how the law could
have been otherwise construed An essential of
every criminal or quasi-criminal offense is the
intent with which it is done, whether not il be
necessary 10 show actual intent, or whether the
intent be implied by the circumstances of the
aci. ,Aanifestlv, there can be no intent 10 VIC
late the law attributed to an owner whose car is
being managed tv another. Is true that this
decision will render more difficult the enforcement
of The lays against speeding automobiles. The
\ only remedy is in every case TO impose the ex-
treme penalty, both upon the guilty chauffer and
upon the owner Of the car, who if IN the machine
at the time, would seem 10 be clearly guilty as a
principal in the commission Of the misdemeanor,
as one aiding and abetting.
The solution of the speeding problem, like that
of many other minor but troublesome offenses,
lies, therefore, in the manner in which the law
I is enforced Light fines will merely invite to
the risk of breaking the law at the dictates of
personal within. Heavy fines, or Imprisonment,
will soon make this species Of dangerous law

CARING For RIVER COMMERCE.

The action of the city in providing for ade-
quatc public wharves on the James River is the
best evidence that the appropriations asked of
Congress for the improvement of the river to
Richmond are authorized. Too frequently water
way improvements urged upon Congress
without any action looking to making their bcne-
fits practical the part of the sections and cities
interested. \ deep river is only the first essen
tial of navigation ships must be cared for after
their arrival. Docking conveniences draw com
mercc, and without them navigable river is
much in the case of railroad without freight
yards. When city shows by its appropriations
for public docks that it not only wants commerce
bur is willing to meet it half way by preparing
10 take care of it, it plays card with the Wash
ington authorities that carries more weight than
the most convincing oratorv and the most
elaborate prospectus. Such provision is a visible
argument that cannot be refuted
