JONES WANTS PRIMARY.

Hermanville, Miss. May IL think
that the primary should be ordered
early in November because Senator
Percy and Ex-Governor Vardaman
have so requested, because the Legis-
lature is on record as favorable to it
and because such primary would
largely eliminate the partisan spirit
now existing and growing throughout
the state. 1t seems if Percy and Var
daman are in earnest there can be no
doubt that the executive committee
will order the primary despite Cover
nor Noel and his attorney general
There is little doubt that the people

to furnish the bulk of the funds neces-
sary to purchase the humorist's old
home in Missouri, rehabitating 1t into
museum, will soon take tangible
form. Among those who were ad-
mirers of Mark Twain and who will
contribute to the fund are Henry H.
Rogers, Jr., Andrew Carnegie and J.

The idea is to purchase either the
house at Florida, Mo-, where Clemens
was born, or at Hannibal, where he
spent his boyhood. Both houses are
still standing, although the cottage at
Florida is not in very good state of
preservation.

HAVE DECIDED NOT
To LEASE ANY BARGES
But Have Let Contract For Building
OF Their Own Boats.-Presiden
kavanaugh To Make Early Trip
Down the River.

President Jackson, of the CONNER
cial Club, is in receipt of letter from
Mr.. J. R. Peachy, traffic manager of
the Mississippi Valley Transportation
company, the concern which guaran-
teed to put Hattiesburg on the Jack
son and Meridian basis of freight
rates, in which he states that his
company has decided not to lease any
barges, as originally planned, but had
own boats to be operated on the Mis-
sissippi river between st. Louis and
New Orleans.
Nj. Peachy stated in his letter
that the transportation company had
decided that it would not be good
policy to lease the boats for such a
short period of time, as the barges
which they are having built will be
ready for use by September /, when
the regular service will be inaugural
ed. 1t was thought that this arrange
ment would be more satisfactory to
the stockholders of the concern. as
the service which can be given by
the companys own boats will be bet
ter than could be had by employing
a small number of leased vessels.
This will not violate the contract
made by the Transportation company
with stockholders of the concern, as
the agreement entered into was to
the effect that in the event the new
rate was not put into effect before
tn first notes became due, the obliga-
tion would be null and void. The
notes of Hattiesburg subscribers were
dated in April, which will make them
fall due in October, so that if the
service shall be inaugurated by Sep
tember l the contract will have been
fulfilled.
The verbal agreement made by
representative of the concern was
that the rate would be made effective
not later than April Is, and it is not
known how local stockholders will
look upon this latest announcement
of the company. President Jackson
stated this morning, however, that
he thought the arrangement would
be satisfactory, and that, so far as he
was Individually concerned, he be-
lieved it to be a good one. He ex-
pressed the belief that the company
was acting in good faith, and thought
there was no good cause to be appre.
hensive.
Mr.. Jackson and the Merchants
Grocery company are among the lar
gest of the local stockholders in the
Mississippi Valley Transportation
company, and his confidence in their
proposition will go far toward allay.
ing any suspicion or doubt of the
good intentions of the concern.
President Kavanaugh, it is stated,
will within the next few days start
on a trip down the river for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the
building of the various docks, and it
is thought probable that he will make |
a brief visit to Hattiesburg on that |
occasion.

Belt Line Railway, the workmen re-
moved seven tons of the ore. Its
weight attracted their attention. A
sample was sent to an assayer, and
the chemical test proved that the ore
was 1872 per cent, pure lead. This
means that of the seven tons removed
there was probably not less than FIVE
tons of pure lead.

that it follows the course of the knobs

How Big Interests of Los -

Los Angeles. Cay., Dec. 23.-The
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-

In its fight here to break the man
who works, has started war on
children in the furtherance Of its
scheme to down anything bling
organized labor.
The children are the messenger
boys employed by the Western Union
Telegraph Co. The strike is a story
of petty arrests by the police of these
kids" who work for $40 to $50 a.
month. It is a pitiful story of how a.
grasp1ng corporation, assisted by an
organization of business men, is try
| Ing to break the kids because
| they sought justice only. It is an
| other chapter in the struggle between
big business and labor in Los Angeles,
| and behind the scenes, helping the
telegraph company, is the M. & NJ,
! whose members rank as '"the best
| cftizens' Of Los Angeles.
But listen to Frank Eckstrom, one
of the boy strikers. he tells the story
Of the troubles between the mes
senger boys and the telegraph trust, -"

turn empty handed with the rising
sun, exhausted, disheartened, depleted
in numbers, yet there before him were
thousands Of salmon. They were
strewn in a great mass upon the dock
and inside the shed, while from the
scow beneath they came in showers as
the handlers tossed them upward from
their "pues." Through the wide doors
he saw the backs Of the butchers bust
~ at work over their tables and heard
the uproar OF his cannery running full

Before the launch had touched he
had leaped to the ladder and swung
himself upon the dock. He stumbled

"Say, we've got fish enough to run

gait, tell you, and they'll never stop
now, night or day, till they're through.
We don't need no gill METERS. What
we need Is butchers and sinners, and
handlers. There never was q trap site

a long, hairy arm, barred half to tho
shoulder, and waived it exultantly.

Emerson leaned unstead1ly against a
