FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF HON. FRANK
H. LEWIS.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Echo
will be found the formal announce ment
of Hon. Frank H. Lewis, of Pascagoula,
as candidate for Congress, to succeed
the present incumbent, Hon. E. J,
Bowers, who, as is well known, will not
stand for reelection.
Mr.. Lewis was a visitor to Bay ST..
Louis few days since and, while here,
made a splendid impression, having
been preceded by the reputation of his
well-knoWn successes in the different
avenues of daily pursuits which he has
traversed for the last twenty or thirty
years. To the Coast country and the
State generally he is no stranger. Both
as private citizen and as secretary of
the Pascagoula Commercial Club he has
made himself felt as a powerful factor
in the further development of the M is
sissippi Gulf Coast as an agricultural
country and the sea coast and its ports
as great harbors, and it is well known
that he has been of invaluable assist
ance to Congressman Bowers with stat -
istics and other data in that gentleman's
successful efforts in securing appropria-
tions from the Government. The needs
of the coast country are familiar to him,
and, it is safe to say, if the people of
this district elect him, they will send a
man to represent them who is familiar
with every branch of work which may
devolve upon him, by virtue of his
office. 1t has been said of Mr.. Levi
that he is no politician. This is true.
He is worker and goes after materia
results, caring little for the applause
men and the vainglory of flattery. He
has issued circular letter, addressed to
the Democracy of the Sixth Congress =
sional District, in which he sets fort b
his views in a succinct form, and in
closing, he adds, "On the above earn
estly solicit your active support. Mr..
Lewis intends returning to Bay st.
Louis at later date and will endeavor
to meet more of our people. 1t is i'm
perative to the further growth and de-
velopment of the Gulf Coast, with it's
splendid harbors and rivers, that our
people be we'll and ably repres ente d.,
and Mr.. Lewis should be given ev cry
opportunity and occasion to be heard
from in the premises.

BELLS.-PRIZE COMPOSITION BY
7TH GRADE PUPIL, COLORED
PUBLIC SCHOOS.

Bells are hollow vessels, which, when
struck, will produce sound. Eyi-
IDENTIFY, bells had been in use hundreds
of years ago.
There are bells of different shapes,
sizes and quality; but among the best
bells are those made from certain kind
of metal known as steel alloy.
When we hear the sound Of bell,
we may hail it as sign of Joy, OF sad
ness, of alarm, of danger, or as call to
duty. If there is a fire, we may give
the alarm, and thus call our friends to
our aid. If ship is sailing on the
deep, blue ocean, and the keen ears of
the skipper catches the sounds of warn
ing coming forth from the bell buoy, he
will at once steer for the open sea,
where rocks and sand bars threaten not
his good ship. Bells are also used on
locomotives and fire engines. They
strike the hours of the day, and are also
used as safeguard against burglars.
In America, the bell most treasured
by our loyal citizens is known as the
Liberty Bell. One hundred and thirty
four years ago it proclaimed the Inde-
pendence of America, and it is now
honored by millions of Americans as
the old Liberty Bell. It's tongue is now
hushed, its side is cracked; but it will
be preserved and honored as a relic of
American freedom.
When the sound of the school bells
reaches the ear Of the school boy and
girl as they walk on their weary way to
school; it gladdens their heart and
quickens their steps. Since we pur-
chased our bells many scholars who used
to be late for school are on time; be-
cause, when they hear the sound of the
bell, it reminds them of their dear teach
ers and play-mates. The school bell
is also great help in calling our friends
to our aid in case of fire. 1t is also of
great use in taking in school, as it can
be heard for great distance.
Although Bay st. Louis has the honor
of being one of the first settlements on
the Gulf Coast, her colored citizens
never had the pleasure of hearing the
sound of bell from their school. AL
though the public colored school has
been established for years, it was never
given bell,
The school has only recently, through
the aid of the principal, teachers, stu
dents and patrons, purchased a bell,
whose chimes, when heard, bring Joy to
the heart of the students and patrons.
Our bell will also be used in case of fire.
Too much praise cannot be given to
our energetic principal, who, since he
has taken charge of our school, has
succeeded, with the aid of his friends,
in raising more than one thousand and
five hundred dollars, which have been,
and will be, used in d manner most bene-
ficial to the school.
Besides purchasing bell our prin-
cipal has also acquired a piano. He is
now, with the aid of the teachers; stu
dents and patrons, working to purchase
a library, which will be used by the
school in the near future.

Regardless of the recent Supreme
Court decision, in which it is held that
the burden of proof is on the State to
show that "near beer" is intoxica ting,
Mayor J. D. Donald of Hattiesburg de-
clares that the opening of near beer es-
tablishments will not be tolerated there,
and that the proprietors will be arrested
every day if they undertake it. He con-
tends that, if allowed to sell an imita-
ton, many dealers will offer the real
article in disguise.
