Pitts was a respectable, law-abiding

EARTHQUAKE
GIVES AN OPTION
ON UNSOLD BONDS

Jackson, Miss, Nov. At looks as
though the governor will dispose of all
the state bonds within a short time.
He gave an option on the unsold bonds
of the 100000 recently, which does
not expire until December 1, and has
every reason to believe the option will
be exercised.
If the bonds should not be sold to
this person at that time, he will have
applications from citizens of the state
sufficient to cover at least half the
remaining bonds, which amount to
about 100000. About 100000 of the
bonds have already been sold, and the
state treasurer had an application
Thursday for $4,000 more, but could
not sell them because of the option.
This application came from a veal
thy man in the Northern part of the
state, and he recently sold bonds
bearing 2 per cent interest to buy the
Mississippi state bonds. These bonds
are considered by all investors to be
gilt edge securities, but the rate of in
terest, which is four per cent. has not
been an attraction for large buyers of
bonds.

See how the fishing industry built

Ellis. BY "Chaseism" he meant the
utterances of Boston reformer, who
recently declared he would appear be-
fore congress and ask that the Pana-

the city is wicked"
Socialism is undoubtedly spreading
in this country, and we are reaching
a state where the evil is as much of
menace to the nation as it is to the
countries of continental Europe. | be-

they are native or imported, should be
throttled. 1t is my experience that
