No REPEAL Of
STATEWIDE LAW
LOCAL OPTION QUESTION WILL
MEET no ENCOURAGEMENT
FROM GOVERNOR.

The first suggestion that the Dem
ocracy of Mississippi follow the exam
pie set by the party in Alabama by re-
pudiating the statutory prohibition
law and substituting local option,
comes from the Natchez Democrat
published in one of the eight counties
that were in the "wet' column when
the statutory law was enacted two
years ago.
In a brief editorial the Democrat
suggests that Gov. Noel call a special
session of the legislature to repeal the
statewide prohibition law, exempt
ition law, regardless of how many i'm
per cent or less, exempt chattel mort
cages, and reduce privilege tax assess
ments.
There is not the slightest possibil-
ity that Gov. Noel would ever send
to the legislature a recommendation
for the repeal of the statutory prohib-
ition law, regordless of how many i'm
portant subjects he might find to make
a special session necessary.
The governor is an ardent, dyed-in-
the-wool prohibitionist, and is not on
" satisfied with the existing statutes,
but would like to see them made
, stronger, if possible. In fact he sub
mitted a large number of recommends
! tions for amendments to the prohibi-
ton law at the last session, several of
which were acted upon favorably.
,, The action of the Democratic state
convention in Alabama has caused
verv little comment in this state, and
thus far no movement of any kind
looking to the repeal of the statewide
prohibition law has been launched.
With open saloons in only eight
counties, Mississippi was practically
"dry" before the prohibition law
went into effect seventeen months
! ago, and, while some of the river AM
coast counties would probably vote fol
| a return of the open saloon, if givef
the opportunity, the possibility OF
them having an opportunity is SO re
mote that it is hardly worth discuss
ing.

nrohibition law passed at the las

Next Year.-Everybody Is Boosting
Delta Fair for This Fall.

Our Greenville is rounding out in
good shape. Last year the Athletic
meet and the Delta Fair Association
paved the way for making this pop
ular place for the assembling OF con
vcntions, and establishing a reputation
for entertaining large crowds with Law
ish hospitality. Then this year the
Business League took the bull by the
horns and landed the intercollegiate
Oratorical Association meeting, ana
that was such a pronounced success
barring the Aviation part OF the pro-
cram that other bodies have taken
action in favor of Greenville. On
rnna 18th and 10th the Mississippi
Electrical Association will meet IN thlS
citv and between 200 and 3OO dele-
oates will be in attendance. MI

Of entertaining. On the second tues
dav in June, 1911 the State Pharma-

ant fact was brought about by MessrS'
T. T. Hueston of the Goyer Company
and IT. A. Holcombe, the well-knoWn
druggist. who were delegates to the
convention in Natchez lately. Mr.
w P. Craig of Indianola, was elected
nresident of the association for the
ensuing year and as he is so closely
contiguous to us, will do all in his
pewer to help Messrs. Hueston and
Holcombe bring about large attend
ance. Then again 887 and 272 are not
slow when it comes to furnishing their
fellow associates with a good time,
and Messrs. Finlay, Taylor, Dunn and
Davis will do their part. All these
prospective events augurs well for our
city. It shows that everybody is on
the hump and that there is lots of life
in the old land yet. But the fact
must not be lost sight of that the
Delta Fair to be held this fall must be
made the most important of all and
that a long and hard pull must be
made in that direction. So let every
body "put their shoulder to the wheel
and shove steadily for its success.

MRS. r. S. STREAMS.

Last Tuesday morning Miss Nora
O'Connor of this city received tele-
gram stating that Mrs. R. s. Streams
had died Sunday night in Bristol, Va.
This pronouncement was received with
much surprise, as it was only few
weeks ago that Mrs. Streams left here
to make her home with her adopted
daughter, Mrs. w. II. Turner in Bris-
tol, and was then in excellent health.
Mrs. Streams was a native of Ireland,
and came to this country when young
woman, making her home on Lake
Washington in this county. Her first
husband was Mr.. Shannon. Some
years after his death she married Mr..
Streams, who became victim of the
yellow fever plague in 1873.

which have been spent in this county,

IS BLOWN TO BITS
Powder Works and Magazine al
Hull, Quebec, Destroyed.
Baseball Crowd Gathered to Watch
the Fire, Disregards Warning,
and Many are Slaughtered.

Ottawa, Ont, May 10.-In an ex-
plosion today the plant of the General
Explosives company, of Canada, near
Hull, Quebec, was totally wrecked.
Fifteen persons were killed and SO
others injured. The force of the ex-
plosion was terrifying. The country
for miles around was laid waste and
many small buildings in the city of
Hull, on the side nearest the explosion,
were laid fiat on the ground.
A baseball game was in progress a
short distance from the powder works,
about o'clock this evening. The
teams were playing the last inning and
when fire was seen in one of the
small buildings of the powder plant,
the crowd began to swarm up the hill
to get better view of the blaze.
Warnings of danger soon came to
the onlookers in two small explosions
Sparks and fragments of the wrecked
building fell among the spectators and
there was a scurrying from what was
considered the danger zone.
Some men in the crowd, aware OF
the possibility of the danger when the
main magazine should be reached,
pleaded with the crowd to go still fur
Their back. Many needed the warning
Others, apparently enjoying the ele-
ment of danger in the spectacle, stood
within 1000 yards of the burning
buildings. They were kept on the qui
vive by the continuous detonationf
that sent showers of burning brands ir
all directions.
The scene where the crowd from
the ball game stood resembled battle
field Headless, armless and legless
bodies were lying about among scores
of unconscious forms. The silence
that followed the final death-dealine
blast was broken by the terrifying
cries and means which came with re-
turn to consciousness of the badly in
jured-
