GREER ANNOUNCES
FOR COMMISSIONER
Popular Second Ward Councilman
Has Finally Consented to Enter
The Municipal Contest.

In this issue of The News will be
found the announcement of Mr.. H.
c. Greer, the popular second ward
councilman, as a candidate for COM
missioner of the city of Hattiesburg,
subject to the action of the Democrat
ic voters.
Mr.. Greer Is so well known to the
citizens of Hattiesburg that COM
ment by The News would seem en-
tirely superfluous. He has lived in
Hattiesburg so long, has occupied
such a prominent place in the city's
business and public affairs that he is
personally acquainted with and ad-
mired by nearly every resident of
the city. He has served the second
ward for several terms on the mu-
nicipal board and has never expert
enced much difficulty in being elect,
ed which is pretty good indica
ton that the people of the ward are
entirely satisfied with his official
conduct.
He has been persistently and in
sistently urged to enter the race for
commissioner, and, if elected, it will
be truly case of the office seeking
the man.

JUlLED FOR ATTEMPT
To wreck TRAINS
Special to The NeWS.


Lake Charles. La, June 4.-Theo-
mar Daigle, white was brought to the
parish Jail yesterday charged with at
tempting to wreck a passenger train
on the Watkins branch of the Iron
Mountain road Tuesday night, two
miles south of Kinder.
Superintendent II. B. Kane was on
the train. He said a spike was driven
about two inches deep in the Joint
between the rails. The train went
over it without harm.
Daigle informed the deputy sheriff
he did not think it would hurt any
thing to put the spike in the rail
joint
Two previous attempts have been
made within a few months to wreck
passenger trains on the same road in
that neighborhood, the other attempts
being made by wrenching switches
resulting in the light showing the
track clear when the switch was
partly open.
On one occasion the train took the
switch and wrecked several empty
cars.

thereby disappoint my friends"
Just as l am, without one plea,
I want the folks to vote for me"
said Mr.. Haney, "and l will do the
rest"
Mr.. Haney is an old time Jefferson
ian Democrat. Some people think
that has nothing to do with munich
pal election, but it has. A Jefferson
ian Democrat believes in laws made
for the greatest good to the greatest
number" A Jeffersonian Democrat
believes in the fair and impartial en-
forcement of all laws, without fear,
favor or affection" A Jeffersonian
Democrat believes in equal and
exact justice to all, special privileges
to none" A plutocrat is one who
believes "the rich should ride in
chases, and the poor man walk,
be Jazes." A Taft democrat, like the
Right Honorable Secretary Dickinson,
born once upon a time in old Missis-
sippi, believes that the railroads, the
combines and trusts, should feed off
the fat of the land, while the man
who earns his bread by the sweat of
his face should feed from the crumbs
that fall from corporation talk-fests.
No man of that way of thinking is
fit to serve the people of this city
as one of their commissioners.
While, on the other hand. a pure and
undefiled Jeffersonian Democrat
takes so naturally to the peoples
side of every question that he can
not fail of serving their best interests;
and J. R. Haney, and no man will
dispute it. is a pure and undefiled
Jeffersonian Democrat.
In addition to that, Mr.. Haney
with all his quaint humor and jokes
and fun, land no man is the worse
off for that Is a man of unim
peachable character, of a high sens,
of honor, man whose pride coul,
not be pampered by place or power
a man whom ''the spoils Of offic,
could not buy" man who receiving
any trust from the people would find
his chief delight in serving theil
best interest. He has the further ad
vantage of a wide acquaintanc,
among the people, large number o
friends who viii espouse his cause
and nobody to fight him; because. |
there is man in Hattiesburg VIII,
has no enemies, it is to Hon. J
'RA Vdy. Haney.

NO PRIVILEGE FOR
COTTON BUYERS
Are Permitted to Buy And Sell Cot
ton From May to August 81
Without Paying License.

City Tax Collector Bennett and
County Collector Magruder have dis
covered that, under the new privilege
tax laws, cotton buyers are exempt
from paying privilege tax licenses
for four months, beginning May 1
and continuing until August 81.
1t was noticed that the cotton buy
ers had not been in hurry to pay
their privilege before the first day
of June, as had been formerly re-
quired of them, and an investigation
disclosed the fact that for some
cause the last legislature had seen
fit to exempt them entirely during
the four months beginning May 1.
This exemption applies only to the
year 1910, and the reason for it is
not clearly understood by the tax
collectors.

CITY street GANG
Man Who Was Put on Street for act
ing as Agent for Blind Tiger, and
Who Escaped, Was Captured at
BogaIusa, La, Yesterday.

Charey May, a negro who was serv-

idea who the prisoner was, but upon

conductor that there was a man in
the baggage car who had been con-
signed to the chief of police of Hat
tiesburg. Chief Williams made fur
ther investigation and discovered the
man to be Charley May. He had been
shot several times by the Bogalusa
officers, and was lying upon cot in
the baggage car.
May had been fined $50 in the police
court, and had worked out only a
small amount of his fine when he
made his escape from the gang. He
is the negro who got away from the
street foreman on River avenue, in
the vicinity of the old ice plant, car
rying his spur and convict suit with
him.
Chief Williams stated this morning
that he did not think the man was
seriously injured, although he had
been shot three times while trying
to escape from the Bogalusa officers
He has intimated his intention of pay
ing his fines and costs so that he may
go to Meridian, where he formerly
lived.

Moving Pictures and Panoramic Views to Be Taken Today From
 Great Heights.

& PanC ramic views and moving pie lures of the Salt river valley will be taken from the Stevens brothers cap tive balloon at the fair grounds be- tween and ? o'clock this afternoon.
 Yesterday morning Dr. John w. Foss. president of the Phoenix board of trade: Dwight B. Heard. of the board of directors; Gilbert Hassell and John Dored, photographer and moving pie t4Ire taker for the Southern Pacific company, made an ascent in the bal loon to find if it would be worth while and possible to take pictures from the basket suspended beneath the big gas bag.
 What they saw most agreeably sur prised them. Both pr. Foss and MT. Heard declare that they had no pre- vious conception of the appearance of the valley from a great height. The green fields, laid out like garden plots. lines of trees along the country roads, Phoenix and the race track in the fore ground and the mountains in the dis tance, present a picture that one never forgets.
 Mir Hassell and MT. Dored both said that they could take good pictures from the balloon. They were enthusiastic over the opportunity of taking panO- ramic views.

.FUERTH ON TICKET
HIS PAPERS FILED AT HARRIS
BURG HALF AN HOUR AFTER
BERRY AND ASSOCIATES OF
KEYSTONE PARTY GOT THEIR
NOMINATIONS IN PHILADEL-
PHIA - NEWSMAN'S QUICK
WORK.

Leopold Fuerth will run for rep
resentative on the Keystone as well
as on the Democratic ticket. Thirty
minutes after the keystone ticket
was nominated at PHILADELPHIA
Thursday the Honesdale mans pa
pers were filed with the prothono-
tary of Dauphin county and also
with the secretary of the common
wealth in the capitol at Harrisburg.
Mr.. Fuerth had this movement
all framed up with a Philadelphia
friend. understood to be the politi-
cal reporter and legislative cores
pondent of a daily paper in Phila-
delphia. The latter was to wire to
Harrisburg TO have the papers al
ready prepared filed without delay.
The Fuerth man in Philadelphia was
on the job. 1t didn't take more
than half an hour to fix up the
Harrisburg end of Mr.. Fuerth's de-
sire to get on the Keystone ticket
the Berry-Gibboney ticket.
Before he went to bed Thursday
night Mr.. Fuerth got a telegram
or two from Harrisburg friends, as
suring him that he was first.
Mr.. Fuerth does not talk as
though he liked Berry. He re-
CARDS the position of Berry in re-
gard to the Guffey loans as an in
dication of the Keystone candi-
dates ungrateful nature.
"Guffey," said Mr.. Fuerth, "let
Berry have quarter of a million
to help him out of a hole. If you
let me have s. to help me out OF
a hole | wouldn't turn around and
attack you"
Rev. J. B. Cody of Bethany has
filed H. c. Jackson's name for the
third ticket as candidate for repre-,
sentative. The papers were lodged
with the prothonotaries of Wayne
and Dauphin counties Friday. They
were prepared by George p. Ross.
The friends of Mr.. Jackson say
the Fuerth nomination is not regu'
lar because the blank space left fol
the name of the party on convention
day was filled in with the worC
Keystone" after Mr.. Fuerth haC
sworn to it.
