CIRCUI? COURT
AT POPLARV|LLE
Many Hattiesburg Lawyers Are At.
tending Pearl River County Cir
cult Court.-The Garner Case.

Several Hattiesburg lawyers are in
Poplarville today attending the regu-
lar term of the Pearl River County
Circuit Court, among them being
Judge w. H. Cook District Attorney
McLaurin, Hon. Robert S. Hall and
Judge j. E. Davis.
There are said to be several cases
pending before that court which are
more or less interesting to Hatties-
burg citizens, principal among which
is the case of the State against Sy.
Garner, who is charged with compiled
ty in the murder of Emma Holston,
negress.
1t will be remembered that this
case was removed on change of venue
from the Forrest county court to the
court of Pearl River county, on the
allegation that it would be difficult to
secure in this county fair and i'm
partial jury to try the case, owing to
the apparent prejudice against the
defendant.
The case has become somewhat no.
torious by reason of the fact that
Garner at one time made application
to the local bar association for per-
mission to apply for license to prac-
tice law, he being a graduate of
negro law school The application was
promptly rejected by the bar associa-
tion, for the ostensible reason that
Garner had been indicted by the
grand jury and on that account was
not eligible.
From testimony introduced at the
habeas corpus trial it was evident
that Garner was not at all popular
with any class of citizens in this city.

of the trial will be awaited with in

scheduled to come up for hearing to-

CITY TAX SALE
IS IN PROGRESS
Many Pieces of Valuable Property
Have Been Disposed of for De.

City Tax Collector Benefits sale of
delinquent tax lands has been in prog

OF property have exchanged hands in
consideration of the amount of taxes
due, together with the damages as
sessed according to law.
While quite a number of citizens at
tended the sale and number of them
bought some of the property, the sale
was not as largely attended as was ex-
pected, and, as a consequence, many.
desirable pieces of property were
knocked off to the city.
Tax Collector Bennett will be busy
during the remainder of the day and
until IL o'clock tonight executing and
hling deeds to the land which has
been sold, as the law requires that

NOTABLE EVENT in
PEARL river COUNTY
Many Distinguished Friends of The
Ex-Governor, From All Parts of The
State, Are in Attendance.-Senato
Bilbo There.

Friends and admirers of Ex-Gover-
nor James K. Vardaman have today
been pouring into Poplarville from
every point of the compass, and all
railroads leading into Hattiesburg
have brought trainloads of citi-
zens who are desirous of hearing an
address to be delivered by the sena-
torial candidate.
The fact that Senator Bilbo, who
brought about an investigation of the
alleged bribery and corruption in the
late senatorial election, is on the
grounds together with many of his
substantial friends and political back
ers, has added greatly to the impor-
tance OF the occasion, and the public
is generally restless in anticipation of
possible developments at Poplarville
1t is stated positively, however, by
persons in position to know, that the
presence of Gov Vardaman and Sena-
tor Bilbo in the same town and at the
same time has no significance what
ever as bearing on the senatorial in
vestigation. In fact, Governor Varda-
man more than a month ago accepted
an invitation to lecture at Poplarville
today, and, since this is Senator Bill
bo's home, and he being on a brief
visit to mis- family yesterday merely
remained in Poplarville to hear Var
daman speak.
Ex-Governor Vardaman stopped in
Hattiesburg for a brief while last
night, en- route to Poplarville, and
while in the city was visited at the
Hotel Hattiesburg by a number of
friends, but, so far as can be learned,
he made no reference of having any
knowledge that Senator Bilbo would
be in Poplarville today. He was
merely going there to fill an appoint
ment which he had made previous to
the making of the bribery charges,
and his address today, it is stated, will
be similar to those which he has re-
Gently delivered at other places in
the state, and has no especial signif-
cance
Many Hattiesburg friends of the Ex-
Governor went to Poplarville this
morning for the purpose of hearing
the address, and it is understood that
an effort will be made to induce Gov.
to again stop in Hatties-
burg and deliver lecture here.

CATARRHAL ASTHMA
and hay fever

Tens of thousands of sufferers from
hay fever and catarrhal asthma find
great comfort and quick relief by
breathing Hyomei
OF course where asthma is not
caused by catarrhal condition, but
by nervous contraction of the bron-
chial tubes, Hyomei is not recon-.
mended.
But in case of asthma where there
is discharge of mucous, breathing
Hyomei gives most wonderful relief
by soothing the irritated and highly

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
(BB ASSOcidte1 PreSs,)

Rome, March 4.-The determination
OF Mr.. Roosevelt to forego an audi
ence with Pope Plus ,ather than sub
scribe TO conditions imposed by the
vatican, has created a sensation. This
unfortunate and unexpected incident
overshadows every other feature OF

WAS THOUGHT TO Be
M0RTALLY WOUNDED
One Bullet Passed Entirely Through
Negroes Neck And Other Supposedly
Dangerous Wounds Were Also In
fIicted.

Contrary to all expectation, John
ny Howard, the negro who was shot
and thought to be fatally wounded
by Police Officers Moore and Norwood
in pistol duel which occurred on
East Sixth street Saturday afternoon,
is said to be resting comfortably and
prospects are favorable for his COM
plete recovery.
After Howard had emptied his re-
volver at negroes and had reloaded 1t
and begun to fire upon Mr.. Bert
Platt, and finally turned his attention
to the officers who returned his fire
as rapidly as their revolvers would
discharge; after the desperate had
fallen to the ground and had been ex-
amined, it was supposed that he was
dead, and the dead wagon" was ac-
cordingly sent to the scene of the
trouble.
Later developments proved, how
ever, that the man was only stunned,
Notwithstanding the supposedly dan
gerous nature of the wounds inflicted
by the officers, and before the hospital
to which he was taken had been
iSoNhSu, tuC nS5lO ouONSu uIIllSIdk-
able signs of consciousness. He
would look up into the face of Officer
Moore, who was shading the sun from
the wounded mans eyes, and with an
expression of intense hatred on his
face, would grit his teeth at the man
who had brought him down.
Howard is said to be a very bad
and sometimes dangerous negro. By
various acts of bravado he had intimi-
dated practically the entire negro pop
ulation of the city, and had sent
word, it is said, to police headquarters
that the officer who attempted to ar
rest him would get dose from one
of the three guns which he was said
to be carrying.
In view of the probable recovery of
Howard, it is stated that every pre-
caution is being taken to see that he
does not escape and a close watch
will be maintained until the man is
able to leave the hospital, when he
will probably be arraigned on a
charge of shooting with intent to kill
and several charges of minor of
lenses, such as highway robbery and
will probably be preferred
against him.

AUTO Earnings
FOR RAILROADS
Automobile Industry Has Supplied
Large Amount of Revenue for
Railroads of United States.
(By Union Associated Press.)

Washington, April 4-The railroad
statistics of the United States show
that the automobile industry has sup
piled over eight million dollars in am.
nual revenue for the transportation of
machines, supplies and accessories.
The perfecting of the automobile busi-
ness has unquestionably made big
profits for the railroads of this coun-
try, said General Manager F. l..
Holmes, of the Jackson Automobile
Company today. Mr.. Holmes, who
comes from Jackson, Mich, has been
in the city looking up the matter OF
auto interstate commerce. Continu-
ing, he said: "The railroads have
profited largely by the development
OF the automobile industry, as they
would naturally profit by the success
and extensive shipment of any pro-
duct; but the automobile business has
been exceptionally productive of reve-
nue. for the railroads, which Should
take this into consideration in their
high schedule of rates. An Automo-
bile factory pays for ten times as
many freight cars and at a much
higher rate than a carriage factory
producing an equal number of horses
drawn vehicles, and something like
100000 freight cars leave the facto-
ries a year. Three shipments cover
scattered territory, but if one cuold
strike an average distance that the
cars are hauled, it indicates the rail-
roads earn $S,000,e00 annually. The
express companies alone earn nearly
million dollars carrying tires, fac
tory supplies and accessories by
which the railroads also profit. Hun
dreds of thousands of travellers use.

rectly due to the automobile. The

negro MAY BE CRAZY
BUT He IS NOT A FOOL
Special to The NelcS.

Shreveport, La, April 4.-Hearing
considerable hammering going on at l
O'Clock in the morning, Patrolman
Ward, who was patrolling a beat in a
negro district south of the Union Sta
tion, went out to investigate.
He found a negro with a lantern
busily engaged in building a sidewalk,
saving boards and mailing away as if
his life depended upon it. He had al
ready built considerable sidewalk in
front of his house and not having any
where else to go he turned it around
and was building it on the side.
Upon drawing closer to the negro
the officer discovered that he was Tom
McDaniels, negro, who was held in
jail recently, said to be insane.
What are you doing?' asked the
patrolman.
I'm building sidewalk, Capt, I'm

was bout ten mo- niggers in dis
neighborhood like me, dey'd have

walks, smiled and went his way.
