TEN.YEAR.OLD
SEEKS DIVORCE

(Continued From Page One.)
Nellie johnson and Newlan La
mar were married on July 15,
1909. Lamar secured license,
drove to the home of the Rev.
e. r. overly, and thence, with
theA minister, to the johnson
home. On the way he explained
TO the minister that the girl was
much older than she appeared to
be.
1t was dark when the johnson
house was reached, so when the
girl came out to the road to meet
her lover, wearing long dress to
give her a "grown-up" air, the
unsuspicious preacher took their
statements in good faith and mar
ried them there in the dark. The
license was read by the Pickering
light of match. When the cere-
mony was over the minister went
his way without the glimmer of
a suspicion that he had officiated
lat the marriage of a nine-year-
old child.
When the hue and cry was
raised against Lamar he disap-
peared, but after several weeks he
came back and attempted to see
his wife. The parents of the girl
ordered him off the place, and
when he persisted he was forcibiy
elected from the house.
1t is generally believed that a
decree will be granted Mrs. La
mar. Attorney Bates, who is
handling the case for her, asserts
that the husband is liable to Grim
inal prosecution.

DISCUSSION

/ mean. Some remain bachelors
to be loved. There is not much
danger of the bachelor of either
sex being lonesome in their old
age, for they are usually looked
up to by their younger relatives.
They are 1T to them. But l be-
= lieve happy marriage the only
true existence. There Is nothing
can compare with the true home
and the sweet Riddles.
J. G. d. says to address him
care Of Times. He does not
sound sincere. However, I shall
do the best / can to see what can
be done. N. e. L.
Times Editor:
= Pardon me for writing again.
One writer says pity the poor
bachelor. We want no pity. or
solicit no sympathy, and we are
not unfortunate-quite the con-
trary.
If the women reformers of to-
day would undertake to reform
- their own sex, with success, the
men are duty bound to respect
them; therefore leading a better
life.
That would come near solving
the problem, for good women are
the inspiration for success OF men.
Start at the bottom, not at the
top. Show me a man that will
bother a woman the first or sec
fond time without encouragement
from her, and I'll show you he
does not know his own mind, and
they are few and far between.
Most bachelor girls have passed
through some crisis with some
fickle-minded young fool, not old
enough to know his own mind |;
then WE get the blame. Eight out
of every ten scandalous divorces
ARE mixed up between married
people, not bachelors.
Would like to have Marian L.
explain the real purpose of life
mentioned. I'll wager it won't
tally with any other opinion. B.
Baxter, you hit the married men
too hard; you're wrong-if he has
: "a happy home, he needs no SYM
pathy, and he has the bachelor
beat four ways.

TOBACCO Stolen
Burglars Broke Through Window in
Rear of Building and Helped Them
seIves-PIace Has Been Robbed Five
Separate Times.

Thieves got busy again Sunday
morning and broke into the confection-
ary and fruit stand of w. J. York, on
Main street, taking away a quantity
of fine cigars and tobaccos, besides a
number of other articles of more or
less value.
The burglars gained entrace to the
building by prying open window in
the rear. The burglary was discovered
early yesterday morning by Mr. York,
and an investigation disclosed the fact
that several boxes of fine cigars, a
quantity of chewing tobacco, cigarettes
soda pop and other articles were miss
ing. The cash drawers were rifed
but the thieves succeeded in getting
only few coppers from they.
The burglary was committed some
time during the early hours Sunday
morning, as Mr.. York did not leave
the stand until IL o'clock Saturda!
night This is the fifth time the place
has been burglarized, and it is believ
ed that the same parties are responsi
BILE for each offense.

Big PRSGRESS ON
DIGGING OF CANAL
(Bu Associated PreSs.)


Washington, Aug. S.-That Uncle
Sans engineers and assistants are
making both dirt and concrete fly
down in the Panama Canal Zone is
shown by the enormous amount of
earth and rocks removed and con-
crete emplaced Col. Goethals be-
comes more optimistic and more GER
tain every day that the big ditch
will be finished before the scheduled
date, January l, 1915.
An idea as to the amount of ex'
cavating necessary and the enormous
amount of concrete required to build
the dams and spillways is shown by
reports just received. The total
amount of excavation done since May
4, 1904, when the work began, is no..
763,623 cubic yards. OF this S1,S5S,
122 cubic yards were taken out in the
twelve months ending June 30, 1910
The amount remaining to be excavat
ed before the canal is completed is
63,9O2,971 cubic yards. Much of this
it is believed, will be the most diff
cult to remove.

Washington, Aug. S.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock has the faculty of
keeping his own counsel as highly de-
veloped as any man in public life to-
day. 1t is not strange, therefore,
that he refuses to discuss his coming
trip to Beverly beyond the statement
that he probably will leave here Mon
day night and see the President Tues
day.
Political observers here are not.
however, as silent as Mr.. Hitchcock
regarding the proposed visit. In fact,
it is stated confidentially that the post
master general, who Is also de facto
chairman of the Republican commit
tee and politician-in-chief of the adj
ministration, has been called to Bev-
erly to consult with the President as
to ways and means of Strengthening
out the kinks into which the party
has got itself in the Western and Mid
die States particularly.
The results in Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa have convinced the Presi
dent that something must be done and
at once.
No man in the party has a closer
grasp upon the organization thar
Hitchcock, and, according to his
friends, no Republican has wider oil
closer acquaintance with the men who
make up the organization in every
county and State.

(By Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. S.-John Mitchell,
former president of the Mine Work

can candidate for Governor of New
York. His name has been suggested
to former President Roosevelt and
other Republican leaders as man
who would be acceptable to all fac
tions, and it is understood it is being
very seriously considered.
The fact that Mr.. Mitchell was re-
garded as a formidable candidate for
vice president on the Democratic ticket
at the Denver convention does not. 1t
is said, impair his availability as a
Republican candidate for Goyerncrv-'
Mr.. Mitchell has been fesident OF

NUMEROUS CHOPPERS
were ABOARD TRAIN
And Others Are Expected to Pass
Through Hattesburg on the Evening
Train of the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad.

The local company of the Uniform
Rank, Woodmen of the World, COM
manded by Capt. w. E. Estes, left on
the Gulf and Ship Island train this
morning for Gulfport, to attend the
T1i-State Encampment of that order. |
to be held in the Gulf City during this
week.
Although the train carried several
extra coaches, it was crowded with
uniformed men and visitors who VIII
witness the first event of this kind
ever held in this section of the South,
and indications were that before the
train reached its destination it would
be crowded to its utmost capacity.
The Gulf and Ship Island railroad
has offered very liberal inducements
in the matter of reduced transporta-
ton charges for this occasion, and it
is expected that the special train which
will be run from Hattiesburg next
Wednesday will carry several hundred
visitors to Gulfport. This train will
take on passengers at all points south
of Hattiesburg, while another special
to be run from Jackson on the same
day will pick up passengers north OF
Hattiesburg.
Judging from the enthusiasm mani
tested by local Woodmen, the Tri
State encampment promises to be the
most successful gathering of fraternal
men ever held in Mississippi. Wood
men of three states, Mississippi, Ala
bama and Louisiana, will assemble al
Gulfport this week, and a record-break
: ing attendance is expected on Wednes
; day, the day on which the competitive
drills will take place.
Special trains will be run from botf
directions on the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad on that day, and it il
said they are expected to brins
throngs of people from all sections o
!, Alabama and Louisiana.
The progressive citizens of Gulfpor
, have made ample arrangements to ac
commodate a large number of visitors
1t is stated, and although the city viii
be crowded to its capacity, it is sait
that everybody will be provided fo
in the matter of board and lodging a
all times during the week.
Besides the encampment, numerous
features of entertainment have beel
arranged for the benefit of the visitors
;. and highly enjoyable time is prom
, ised all who visit Gulfport during thi

Big SHRINKAGE In
LIES NECESSITIES
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

Washington, Aug. S.-Considerable
shrinkage in the commercial supply
of some of the prime necessaries OF
life is indicated by the movements OF
live stock and meat products in the
United States during the first half of
the present year. This decline was
shown both in domestic and in foreign
commerce.
The shortage in the commercial
supply of live stock is best shown by
comparison of the half yearly fig-
ures, which totalled 16,463.756 head
for the first six months of 1910, as
compared with more than 2O,00o,ooo
in the same period last year and
nearly 21,OOO,OOO for the correspond
ing period of 1908.
