Oh YES, tariff reduction is bound
to result in cheaper products to the
consumer! That is, if you take
the word of our free trade Demo
Gratis it may, but in practical oper-
alton it works the other way. A
few days ago we had occasion to
have a pair of shoes half soled, and
as we were paying for the work
we were informed that the price
would be FIVE cents more than for
merly on account of the increased
cost of sole leather. The new tar
if admits hides free of duty, while
under the Dinglcy law they paid d
duty of Is per cent. In 1909
$1O4, 900, 900 worth Of hides were
imported, free. Under the old
rate something like S15, 100000
would have been added tc
this sum. The government lost Ii
in revenue, but where does the
consumer get the benefit of this
ffteen-million dollar difference il
the cost of hides! By an increase
in the cost of leather. So far as
any benefit to the consumer has
resulted, the Dingley duty on hides
might as we'll have been retained
and the national revenues pro6tet
thereby. Someone has not only
pocketed the difference, but th'
consumer is actually paying more
for his shoes with hides on the FREE
list than when they paid a Is pei
cent duty. Let some Of our free
traders explain the why of it.

HALLEY'S COMET
IS NOW VISIBLE
Many Hattiesburg Citizens Have Seen
the Comet During the Past
Few Nights

Halley's comet is now visible to the
naked eye, and during the past sew
eral nights many Hattiesburg citizens
have viewed the celestial wanderer
of which so much has been said and
written recently.
Those who have seen the comet say
it is distinctly visible in the East
every morning at about $3.50 o'clock,
and that it appears to be travelling d.
rectly in this direction, hence the tail
is not yet visible.
Some superstitious people are said
to be fasting and praying against the
time when this great ball of fire will
come in contact with the earth and
by the sulphurous fumes emitted from
it, destroy all living things upon the
face of creation.
The yellow substance which was or
the ground after the recent rain storm
and which was, in fact, pollon from
the blossoms of trees was thought by
some to be particles of sulphur from
the comet, and a sure sign of deatf
and destruction.

LARGE SNAG BOAT
Will Be BUILT
Government Engineer Was Here Yes
terday And Employed Foreman To
Have Boats Constructed For This
Work.. q. Limbaugh in Charge.

The hopes of Hattiesburg citizens
in having Leaf river opened to navi-
cation are about to be realized, and
the preliminary work will be begun
within the next few days.
Government Engineer Smith, who
has been placed in charge of this
work, was in the city yesterday, and
announced that a large snag boat
and house boat, 35 feet long by 16
feet wide would be built at once and
that the work of removing all snags
from the river channel would be COM
menced as soon as these boats shall
be completed.
]. B. Limbaugh, of this city, was
employed as a special foreman to take
charge of the work of building the
two boats, and he was authorized to
employ all necessary labor and pur-
chase the material necessary for their
construction.
These two boats will be built in
Hattiesburg, and work on them will
probably be commenced the first of
next week The house boat will be
used to accommodate the workmen
who will be employed to operate the
snag boat, and Engineer Smith stated
that these boats would begin at Hat
tiesburg and work south to the Pas
cagoula river removing all the logs
and snags from the channels. and
preparing the stream for dredging.
| 1t is generally conceded that after
moved, the task of dredging Leaf
river will be a comparatively small
one, as these have been the greatest
| impediment to navigation. Medium
sized boats, it is stated, could ply
| the stream with all ease and safety
but for these obstacles, as the depth
| OF Ine water WOulu NATURALLY be
greater without them, and, with a
little dredging at different points, q
sufficient depth of water could be
maintained to make the stream navi
gable by larger crafts.
There apears now to be no doubt
of the government intention to pu
the stream in navigable condition, anc
after the work of the snag crew is
completed there will remain but com
paratively little else to be done be
fore the sound of the steamboat whis
tie on Leaf river will be as familik
as that of the saw-mill and all man
ner of craft will be plying betwesi
Hattiesburg and the gulf
Mr.. Limbaugh is now engaged il
securing carpenters and PURCHASING
material to be used in the construo
tion of the tow boats, and the worl
on them will be rushed to completion
at as early date as possible.

Hot Springs, Ark, April23.-While
admitting that the senatorial primary
which it was supposed should be held
in Mississippi in November, would be
without legal authority, former Gov.
James X. Vardaman, of that state, and
leading candidate in opposition to
United States Senator Leroy Percy in
the recent senatorial contest, express
ed regret when he learned of the state
ment today of Governor Noel, disap-
proving of the suggested election.
The sole purpose of the primary, he
declared, was to permit the people of
the state to endorse or repudiate the
election of Mr.. Percy, by the legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Percy feels that there is a
stain on his commission, Mr.. Varda-
man says in comment, FOR one of his
political managers is under indict-
ment charged with bribery. But Gov.
Noel will not allow or permit if he can
possibly prevent it, the white voters
in Mississippi to express disapproval ="
1t was agreed, Mr.. Vardaman eX-
planned, by all of those who are to be
candidates, to abide by the result.
