Mr.. F. H. Hartzog of the Fourth Ward,
who announces in this issue of the
News as a candidate for Commission
er of the City of Hatttiesburg.
While not old in years, Mr.. Hartzog
is one of the old citizens of the town,
having made this his home for many
years, and he needs no introduction
to the people. They all know him
and it is safe to say that he can call
the very greatn! ajority of them his
friends.
Mr.. Hartzog was for seven years
with j. S. Turner G Co., ana for three
years with the Hawkins Hardware
Co., but the life of an honest farmer
appealed to him, and for some time
he has been engaged in farming near
the city limits, and his success in this
line proves the wisdom of his choice
and is proof of his ability as a bust
ness man.
Mr.. Hartzog is interested in the vel.
fore of the city. He wants to see Hat
tiesburg go forward, but he believes
in economy of government with a fair
and Just administration of the law
He is in favor of the Commission form
of government, and if elected will give
his earnest efforts for it's success.

STATE SECRETARY
KINGS DAUGHTERS
Mrs. Rose Seavey Parsons Explains
History of the International Or
der of Kings Daughters and Sons

Friday evening at the handsome
new First Methodist church, Mrs.
Rose Seavey Parsons of Brookhaven,
explained in fluent, impressive way,
something of the history of the Inter-
national order of Kings Daughters
and Sons, and the present and past
work of the order in Mississippi. DR..
A. F. Watkins, pastor of the church,
was master of ceremony.
The first part of the program con.
sisted of vocal solos by Mesdames B.
D. Moore, l.. H. Martini Misses Annie
Lou Thompson, Lucille Sweat, anu
Master Herbert Hill of Meridian, ac-
companied by Mrs. Louis Perkins of
Batesville.
DR.. Watkins gave the opening
prayer, and very gracefully introduc-
ed Mrs. Parsons, whom he had known
as a girl in Brookhaven, while pastor
of the church there, complimenting
her and expressing his admiration for
the noble work of the order which
she represented.
Mrs. Parsons spoke briefly, con-
cisely and clearly, telling how from
the little prayer meeting organized
by that beautiful woman, Mrs. Mar
garet Bottome, Mary Lowe Dickinson
and three others in New York City,
has gradually grown to the present
international order of Kings Daugh-
ters and Sons. The sp eaker told of
the fifty-two circles in the state of
Mississippi alone. and their large fl
nancial undertakings, for instance,
the Greenville Kings Daughters
Hospital and the Gulfport Kings
Daughters Hospital, besides the chari-
table work done.
Mrs. Parsons stressed particularly
the idea of improving and deepening
the Christian life, saying this is what
the order was organized for and not for
Christian life, saying this is what the
order was organized for and not for
principally charity She said. how
ever, that charity naturally follows,
where the tone of God is in the heart.
Mrs. Parsons ended with few eX-
pressive remarks on the Rescue
Home, which the Mississippi branch
of Kings Daughters are now laboring
to establish, and showed the need for
kins gave the closing prayer.
This is the first visit Mrs. Parsons
has made to the circles here since

MONSTER SAW FISH

Special to The Nel0s.
Biloxi, Miss. June 1S.-While sein-
ing southeast of Deer lslano, Joseph
Seidule, Charles Couevas, Bud Nor
gan and A. Fayard caught a saw-fish
twenty-five feet long. They chopped
off the saw of the sea monster and it
proved to be three and half feet
long.
1t is not often that sawfishes are
caught, and in most cases those cap
tured are small. They left the fish
off the island, but brought the saw to
this city. The trophy is proving to be
quite a curiosity.

WILL BE GREAT DAY
FOR HATTIESBURG
Some of the Events Planned Should
Serve to Attract Large Number of
Visitors to the City on the Fourth
OF July.

The committee on arrangements Ion
the Fourth of July celebration held a
meeting last night and perfected
many of the details of the program
and, if the enthusiasm of the Commit
tee can only be communicated to the
people of Hattiesburg, the first real
Fourth of July Celebration will be
one that will be long remembered
Unquestionably the automobile
speed contest will be one of the big
features of the day. A part OF the
Committee went over part of the
course yesterday and forty mile gait
and by the time the road is put up
like the committee has planned the
visitors will witness some speed trials
that will make their hair stand. This
will be the first event of the kind and
it should be matter of pride on the
part of the Hattiesburg people that
there is not another city in the state
that can offer such a speedway as
Hattiesburg's Pyrites Pike affords.
1t is planned to have two events.
One will be for owners who wish to
drive their own machine. The dis
tance will be three and one half miles,
for which a cash prize will be offered
The trophy will be open to all and it
is hoped that some of the motor car
companies will send machines ant
drivers, which will inaugurate an
event that will be an annual affair in
South Mississippi. This free for all
contest will be out the Bowie pike,
across Petal and up River avenue.
There will be sand handicap in this
race, the distance being four and a
half miles.
The committee to arrange for the
race and rules is ]. G. Magruder, Dr.
Rush, w. H. Murphy, T. o. Watkins.
s. L. Heidelberg, Mr.. Herlong, Dr. J.
]. Stevens. 1t Is proposed to ask a
committee of Petal citizens to assist
in patroling part of the course and
also to interest themselves in putting
the stretch of street across town in
high class condition and to keep it
that way
Another feature of the day which
will be the beginning of the program
is monster parade which will be en-
tirely new to the people of South Mis-
Congress of Beauties making a first
and last appearance. The famous
Rube Band of Chmpagnolle Oklahoma
has been especially engaged for this
occasion. Don't ask anybody to tell
you how to pronounce this; sneeze it.
Mr.. c. w. Grove, manager of the Kress
store will have charge of the details
of the parade and was authorized to
appoint the committees necessary to
make it a success.
Music will be one of the features of
the occasion and a committee consist
ing of Messrs. Pack, Hall and Watson,
will ARRANGE for the band and big
chorus, to sing Dixie and the National
Anthem.
The baseball committee consisting
of ]. S. Love, F. J. Millette and R. G.
Hall will arrange for game that will
interest every lover of the National
sport in South Mississippi.
The fireworks will be furnished by
the same company that prepared the
Prosperity celebration exhibit.

will meet at the Auditorium Monday
night at eight o'clock apd the differ
ent committees, as ND to be

DREADNAUGHTS MUST GO
Curtiss Says Aeroplanes Will Put
Them Out of Business.

New York, May 16.-Glenn H. Curtiss,
the aviator, believes that the day OF
Dreadnaughts and monster battleships
is past and that by the time the next
great war breaks out, the huge battle
ship Florida and the other costly float
ing forts of this and other navies will
be useless.
Swarms of light, swift aeroplanes, he
says, will replace the tardier, more
sluggish ships of the sea, and will
swarm like deadly insects over the old
fashioned navies, dropping their terri
Bile poison in the shape of picric acid
bombs before the unwieldy men of war
are able to retahate.''
More than thousand aeroplanes can
be launched for the price of a single
hattleship, he says.
Il was much interested in the launch
ing of the Florida, the other day." said
Mr.. Curtis. Il heartily subscribe to the
preparations we are making to defend
our country from all aggression. But
l do not believe that we are going about
it in the right way in view of modern
conditions.
Battleships have been impressive en-
gines of war; but their day is practi-
cally done. 1t is as sure as death and
taxes that the airship will supersede
the great floating structure of steel with
its immense guns.
Imagine, for instance, that a hostile
fleet is anchored 20 miles off New York.
Suppose it consists of some of the most
powerful of modern vessels like the
Florida. Before it could begin to shell
the city, our fleet of aeroplanes would
start from the New Jersey flats. Sup
pose we have only 200 of them. Each
is able to carry 200 pounds of bombs.
Bombs were used in the South At
rican war which weighed not more than
ten pounds. They were made of picric
acid. So far as 1 know there is nothing
more deadly.
THE missiles can be hurled down
upon such a broad target as a war YES
sci with great precision. Foreign ex-
periments, earned on in secret, have
demonstrated that objects can be drop
ped from moving aeroplane and hit
a target within a radius of II feet.
During the day the aeroplanes could
soar away at a great height. They could
be painted the color of the sky. Before
the lookouts on the hostile fleet could
discern the mosquito like f1iers, the ae-
roplanes could swoop down and blow
the warships to pieces. Before the ships
could bring any of their clumsy guns
into action. the aeroplanes would be off
and safe.
Before another year has passed
many nations will devote the millions
they are now spending on Dreadnaught hts
70 building fleets of aeroplanes. 1t is
Inevitable

DUNCAN TO PITTSBURG.
Kansas Professor to Look After Chem
istry Scholarships.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 16.-Prof. Robert
Kennedy Duncan of the University of
Kansas, an authority upon industrial
chemistry, has accepted a place upon
the faculty of the University of Pitts
burg. 1t is announced that his coming
will mark an innovation in scholarships
here. 1t is planned that endowments
for scholarships shall be solicited from
manufacturers with the condition that
students prof1ting by such aid shall
give to the manufacturers the benefit of
all chemical discoveries made by the
students. After the two year period the
discoveries are to be given to the world.
At the University of Kansas Prof. Dun
can is said to have met with consider
able success with his novel plan, and it
is believed that Pittsburg offers an I'M
usual field for such a stimulus to higher
education in chemistry.

tuberculosis Often Develops
From Pneumonia

Consumption readily attacks those who
have had Pneumonia. Many sufferers
from tuberculosis give a history of haV-
ing had pneumonia. The lungs thus weak
ened are more easily attacked by the
germs that cause consumption.
For all those with weak lungs" espe-
cally those who have had pneumonia,
Eckmans Alternative is the appropriate
remedy. Cures of consumption are ac-
complished by Eckman's Alternative. But
take it in time. There is no wisdom in
waiting until tuberculosis is established.
Health is never fully valued until Sick
ness comes.
IT wish I had known of Eckmans AL
terative two years ago. Since taking it L
have gained twenty-eight pounds and
