WATSON HAS NOT
SECURED COUNSEL
No Arrangements Have Been Made
for Preliminary Trial of Man Who
Killed His Wife Last Sunday.

Although nearly a week has elapsed
since the deed was committed, Ar
thur Watson, the young man who shot
and killed his child-wife in this city
last Sunday, has as yet made no ar
rangements to employ counsel to de-
fend him in the courts.
Whether or not the young man will
ask for preliminary hearing in order
to secure bond is not known, but so
far he has not intimated his intention
to do so. 1t is thought quite probable
that he will waive preliminary ex-
animation and wait for the action of
the grand jury, which will convene
early in November.
Jailer Giles stated this morning
that, so far as he had been able to
observe, Watson has manifested NO
sign of dementia since his incarcera'
tion, and is apparently taking things
easy.

Congressional RACE
in SEVENTH DISTRICT

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 10.-Hon.
Thomas Shelton, of Brookhaven, can
didate for congress in the seventh
district, has come out emphatically
as a friend and political supporter Of
Ex-Governor Vardaman, and endeavors
to inject the senatorial contest as an
issue in the second primary between
himself and Congressman w. A. Dick
son.
Il have been misrepresented over
this district long enough, and now
propose to put an end to it," says Mr..
Shelton. Il never cast a vote against
Vardaman in my life, and as long as
he continues to fight for the best in
terests of the people, and is opposed,
as he now is, to trusts and combines,
never will"
The primary in the second district
takes place on the 21st of September,
and it will then be seen what addi-
tional strength Mr.. Shelton can mus
ter by arraying himself as an ally Of
Vardaman. In the first primary Con-
gresham Dickson only lacked about
400 votes of defeating both of his op-
ponents, Shelton and Quin.

It's motto is:

And so much good in the worst of us
1t hardly behooves any of us,
To speak i'll of the rest of us.

the refusal of the striking Southern
Pacific carmen to accede to the COM

fine SHOWING BY
CITIZENS BANK
Statement Published in Today's News
Shows Institution to be in Flour
ishing Condition.

A nice growth in resources, in de-
posits and in earnings is shown by
the statement of The Citizens Bank,
published in this issue of The News,
and growth in these items should and
is most gratifying to the stockholders
of the bank as we'll as to the patrons
and friends of this splendid institu-
ton.
The increase in deposits is about Z
per cent over the same period last
year. and a bank which makes an an
maui increase of per cent in deposits
is bound to be big bank sometime.
The increase in surplus and earnings
Is even larger, while the increase in
resources measures larger still. So
this statement is indicative of wise
and careful management, more
friends for the institution and a more
prosperous condition of those friends
who have been with it all the time.
In building up its own business the
bank seems to be adding to the pros
perity of its patrons, and an institu-
ton which does this is we'll deserving
a most loyal patronage.

A new RESOURCE FOR
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
Deposit Has Been Classed as Genuine
Amber and of First Quality, Al
though Its Extent Has Not Been
Determined.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 10.-If Missis-
sippi keeps on finding different things
down beneath the surface" she will
soon command recognition as one OF
the principal mineral states of the
Union. She is now the possessor of
an amber mine, and it is located in
Tishomingo county. The bed of this
mine is not quite three miles from the
Southern railway, and it's discovery
has created a good deal of excitement
in that locality. Samples of the sub
stance have been taken from the de-
posit and examined by those qualified
to pass an opinion and classed as be-
ing the genuine stuff and of first rate
quality. The extent of this deposit is
not definitely known.
The party who secured samples
from the deposit had about bushel
of this resinous matter, which he
says he secured from the surface and
that all the geological indications point
! to a big deposit beneath the surface
He also gives the information that
amber is always found in connection
with green sand, and says that the
sands in the locality of the Tisho
mingo deposit are as green as grass
Amber is used for making ornaments
necklaces, pipe stems and such artifi
cles and is in great demand. The in
ferior grades are used in the manu-
facture of copal varnish.
The specimens shown are from the
size of a pea to that of a walnut. The
exhibitor of these speciments also
gives the information that the larges
pieces of amber ever found weighed
eighteen pounds and was valued a
$4,000 1t was found on the shore:
of the Baltic sea, where most of the
amber deposits exist. Amber has {
wide range of grades and therefore
differ widely in price, the current quo
tations being from 50 to SIS pc
pound.
Little amber has heretofore beef
known to exist in the United States
but small deposits have been founC
in some localities in New Jersey ant
in some of the Western states.

Cent of Cotton Bills of Lading
Were Forgeries.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. I0.-Taking of
testimony on behalf Of the trustees in

more local freight agents of various
railway lines in Mississippi we're

The Way of Promotion From
Associate Justice.

Washington, Sept. 10.-If Governor
Hughes is to be made chief justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States he will be. promoted from an
associate justiceship. Reports that
the nomination of the governor as an
associate justice would be withdrawn
and his name sent to the Senate as
chief justice have been put to rest by
arrangements that the New York eX-
ecutive has been making to take up
his duties on the bench on the second
Monday in october.
1t was reported from Albany last
night that the governor probably will
relinquish his present office in about
three weeks and Immediately there
after remove to Washington, prepara-
tory to taking the oath of office on
the first day the court is in session
next term.
AS Congress does not covene until
December the new associate justice
will have at least two months to serve
in a subordinate position on the
bench, President Taft has not yet
made it plain just what position he
will occupy after that period.

need Of LABOR
IS HANDICAPPING
new INDUSTRIES
Louisiana Secretary OF immigration
Takes up Matter With New Or
leans Progressive Union.

New Orleans, Sept. 10.-The great
dearth of labor throughout the State
is making itself more and more ap-
parent.
Mr.. Reginald Dykers, secretary of
the Louisiana immigration League, is
constantly in receipt of letters asking
if it is not possible for the league to
do something to help relieve the
strain. Many of the States industries
are being hampered by the want of
men to work them, particularly the
lumber business.
Mr.. ]. Allen Barnett, secretary
treasurer of the Baldwin Lumber Com
pany, wants labor, particularly for the
Bayou Sale mills on the Southern Pa
cific. He says that he would prefer
Australians, as they are the best
stickers.
The Bowie Lumber Company is also
short of men and is very anxious to
secure some.
Mr.. Dykers, in hope of being able
to mend matters, has written the Pro-
gressive Union, querying it as to
whether or not anything has been
done concerning the adjustment OF
rates to Western points, so that the
Hamburg line might feel
justified in running it's ships to this
city.

GULFPORT MAYOR
STRIKES AN EDITOR
in LATTER'S OFFICE

Gulfport Miss, Sept. 10.-In a per-
sonal encounter yesterday morning
Mayor Geo NJ Foote struck j. d. Clai-
tor, editor of the Harrison County
News in the face.
The assault took place in Claitors
office. The News is a weekly paper
which recently made its debut, and
the assault grew out of an article pub
lished on the front page indicating
that the city officials had been in
collusion with the publisher of the
Gulfport Journal, a paper in which
the city's legal advertising and allow
ances are published.
The article in question was headed,
Fake Newspaper Mulcts City Of
Large Sums of Money" and charged
that the paper was issued for the sole
purpose of publishing the city's legal
ads, and that it was without circula-
ton and was not entered as second
class mail matter. The Journal is
published by L. Wenner.
An editorial on the subject Of side
walk paving also angered the mayor.
L. Wenner, publisher of the Journal
Record was in the office with Mayor
Foote, and after the one blow was
struck prevented further conflict
Both the mayor and Claitor have been
arrested on the charge of fighting.
