Exercises at Court House.

An important part of the Prosperity
program and one in which much in
terest centered, consisted of the ad-
dresses on the court house square,
following the parade. The human flag
formed by few hundred of the public
school children, was again in evil
dence and made an attractive back.
ground for the speakers stand. The
singing of the children and music by
the Brookhaven band assisted materi-
ally in the pleasures of the occasion.
Lest strangers might conclude that the
four or five hundred children forming
the human flag were all the public
school children of Hattiesburg, the ex-
PLANTATION was given that only one
child from each family was accepted
for the flag, and that many families
had from eight to dozen children in
school.

TEXT OF RESOLUTIONS
Which were ADOPTED
Much Important Business Transact
ed at Twentieth Reunion Of the Mis-
sissippi Divsion-Tributes to New
Officers.

The nominations for staff officers
on Thursday, just before the closing
of the Goth annual reunion of the
Mississippi division of the United
Confederate Veterans was the occa-
sion for a number of beautiful trib-
utes to the men elected: Gen. w. A.
Montgomery, division commander;
Pat Henry, brigadier general, First
Brigade; J. M. Shivers, brigadier
general of the Second Brigade; Leroy
Taylor, brigadier general of the
Third Brigade. Each one responded
in the gallant, heartfelt manner, and
with the beautiful language so char
acteristic of the Southern veteran.
A resolution memoralizing the leg
islature of Mississippi at its next ses-
sion to pass law giving to all Con-
federate soldiers and soldiers wild
ows, irrespective of circumstances
or conditions, pension of $11 per
month was adversely reported by the
resolution committee, several express
ing their disapproval of it from the
floor. The committee gave as rea-
sons for rejecting the resolution that
all the veterans are not paupers; that
if all veterans were given pensions, it
would make so much smaller the
amount spent by the State to main
tain the Home at Beauvoir, and the
pension given the unfortunate brother
veterans now was small enough.

HOW TO GET OUT
PEOPLE TO VOTE
FOX AMENDMENTS
Is Problem Which is Worrying Advo-
Gates of Adoption Of Constitution
al Changes.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-How to get
the voters of Mississippi to the polls
at the regular election in November
to cast their votes for the three pro-
posed amendments to the state con-
stitution is the problem that is puz-
zling the friends of the trio of meas
ures. Thus far they have not succeed
ed in arousing any visible degree of
interest in the event, and, unless the
public mind is stirred to activity, the
vote polled will be exceedingly light.
Even in presidential election years
not more than twenty per cent of the
qualified vote is polled at November
elections in Mississippi, and in con-
gressional years it is a great deal less,
the total vote polled having on sew
eral occasions been as low as 10000.
The three constitutional amend
ments are of considerable Importance
to the people of Mississippi Two of
them proposed radical change in the
Judiciary system, taking the power of
appointing circuit judges and chancel-
lors out of the hands of the governor
and making the offices elective. A
majority of minds, however, seem to
regard the proposition with utter in
difference. Several years ago, when
Governor Noel was serving a term In
the state senate, he secured the sub
mission of an elective judiciary amend
ment, applicable to supreme judges
as well as circuit judges and chancel-
lors, and the proposition received a
majority vote at the polls, but was
knocked out by the supreme court
on the ground that the amendments
had not been constitutionally framed.

Veterans Thanked.

Mrs. Emma Tharp McGregor, of
Hattiesburg, on behalf of the local
chapter, was introduced and thanked
the veterans for the many beautiful
compliments they had paid the ladies.

MOST magnificent
In Point of Numbers Attracted to the
City the Day Was a Big Success.
Otherwise, 1t Was Not Up to Public
Expectations.

In point of the number of visitors
attracted to the city the Second An
nual Prosperity Celebration held in
Hattiesburg yesterday was a success;
otherwise, it must be acknowledged
that the event was not what the pub
lie generally had been led to expect.
In the first place, numerous fea-
lures of the program were omitted.
The balloon ascension did not take
place; the Kepler Street Shows failed
to put in an appearance, and the auto
mobile races were not permitted. The
abbreviated street parade, the speech
making at the court house, a second
class amateur baseball game at Kam-
per Park and water throwing dis
play by the Hattiesburg fire depart
ment were the only entertainments
furnished the people during the day,
and many were disappointed as con-
sequence.

ocean SKY-SCRAPER
NEARING COMPLETION


London, Oct. 14.-Six thousand men
are at work this week putting the fin
ishing touches on the leviathan
steamship, the Olympic, preparatory
to the launching of the vessel next
week. The Olympic, with her sister
ship the Titanic, will be by far the
largest steamship in the world, and
the giants Mauretania and Lusitania
will look comparatively small beside
her. The Olympic is much nearer
completion than the Titanic.
The Olympic is veritable sky
scraper, having a depth of about l6S
feet. Gigantic as it is, the vessel
has all the graceful curves of mil
lonaires yacht. Both the Olympic
and the Titanic are building at the
Belfast yards, and will be put in the
service between Liverpool and New
York when completed.

Chief OF POLICE WAS
ACTING UNDER ORDERS
Board of Aldermen Notified Arrange
ments Committee That Races Could
Not be Pulled off-Exciting Incl
dent.

Intense excitement, bordering close
ly upon mild panic, was created on
Main street yesterday afternoon, when
Chief of Police Williams, assisted by
squad of police, stopped the auto
mobile races which were scheduled
as part of the Prosperity Celebra-
tion.'
S. L. Heidelberg and A. S. Herlong
were the parties arrested o. E. Es-
tes, who was driving car behind that
of Herlong, saw the disturbance in
time to check his car before the DO
lice reached him.
There are many conflicting state
ments being made with reference to
the occurrence, but from all sources
it is learned that Chief of Police Will
liams was acting under direct instruc-
tions of the board of aldermen. Ac-
cording to statements made this MORN
ing by Councilmen McCuIlough and
Mitchell, members Of the arrange
ments committee were notified on two
separate occasions that the races
would not be permitted on the streets
of Hattiesburg.

Little Interest.

Since that time there has been no
large amount of interest in the sub
ject, although it was injected into two
gubernatorial campaigns, and when
Governor Noel stumped the state three
years ago one of the pledges was that,
if elected, he would give the people
an elective judiciary system. He is
now endeavoring to carry out his
promise, but very large majority of
the voters of Mississippi apparently
do not care whether he succeeds in
are very Indifferent as to the result
Mississippi will elect eight con-
gressmen next month, and neither of
the Democratic nominees will have
opposition. Seventy-fve per cent of
the voters will therefore take it for
granted that these. eight men are 60
ing to be elected, and they will let the
event pass without personal notice.

Races Prohibited.

DR.. Mitchell stated that about a
week ago members of the committee
appeared before the council and re-
quested permission to carry out this
feature of the program, but the re-
quest was positively refused. Later,
stated DR.. Mitchell, Mr.. T. o. Watkins.
who was a member of this committee,
appeared before the board and request
ed that they consider the matter and
permit the races. Mr.. Watkins was
informed that if the races should be
run 1t would be at the risk of the COM
mittee and the participants in the
the event, as the board positively re-
fused to sanction this feature of the
program.
At this same meeting Of the board,
it is said, Chief of Police Williams
was officially instructed to prevent
any racing of whatever character, on
Celebration day, and it was in compli-
ance with these instructions that the
race was prevented yesterday.

MANY ATHELETES
GATHER TODAY

Contest On for National Champion
ships of the Amateur Athletic
Union of America.

New Orleans, Oct 14.-Tulane Uni

gathering of athletes SURPRISING any
previously held in the South. From
the cities of the Pacific coast and the
Atlantic seaboard and all the vast
stretch of country between, the mod
ern gladiators have come to the Cres-
cent City to pit their strength and
speed and skill against each other in
the national championships of the
Amateur Athletic Union.
All of the world-famous cracks of

Only the events of lesser impor-
tance are scheduled for today, and
the big events of the meet will be
pulled off tomorrow. Special interest
attaches to the mile championship,
in which PAUL, of Pennsylvania, Tay-
lor, Mel Sheppard, Hedlund and Xiv

cred the distance around the 4:20
mark. 1t will not be surprising if
the worlds record is lowered in this
race.
The selection of New Orleans for
the national meet has caused a great
boom in athletics in the South, and
Dixie is well represented among the
men who are expected to give good
account of themselves. The athletic
awakening in the South is likely to
supply few surprises. Many West

also represented, with the result that

Parties Were Notified.

Chief of Police Williams stated this
morning that in compliance with the
councils instructions, he notified all
parties concerned that the races would
not be permitted. He instructed mem
bers of the force, he said, to tell the
people that this feature of the pro-
gram had been called off.
and that he had given Messrs.
watkins and Heidelberg to understand
that the boards order would be car
ried out. Herlong, stated Mr.. VIII
liams, was not notified that the races
had been prohibited, for the reason
that he was not seen until after the
run began. =
