Atlantic City, n. j., May 21.-An-
nouncement was made before the gen.

Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia,

HALLEY'S Comet
PLAINLY VISIBLE
Hattiesburg Citizens Afforded Oppor-
tunity to See the Heavenly Tramp
Yesterday Evening.

Halley's comet has evidently passed
between the earth and the sun, but
whether or not any part of this planet
was enveloped in the tail of the wan
derer is not positively known. At
any rate, those who saw the comet
yesterday evening were in no wise un-
easy of a probability of the tail drop
ping to the earth, as it appeared to be
pointed heavenward instead of toward
the earth.
After the heavy clouds began to
break in the West yesterday after
noon, and even before the sun had set,
the comet was plainly visible to the
naked eye, just above the western
horizon. A large portion of the tail
was distinguishable, and the head ap
peared to be brighter and larger thar
at any time before it passed between
the earth and sun.
Astronomers state that the comet
may be seen in the west for severa
| days to come, but so far all calcula
tions have miscarried somewhat, ant
those who desire to see the phenome
ma should take advantage of the frs
opportunity to do so.

YOUNG BATES IS
ALLOWED BOND
Condition Of Almonds Was consId-
cred such as to Warrant His Re-
lease From Custody.

Percy Bates, the young man who
cut R. M. Almonds with pocket
knife on Wednesday night, was re-
leased on bond yesterday, Almonds s
condition having improved to the ex-
tent that it was not thought necessa-
ry to hold Bates longer without bail.
1t is stated that the injured man is
improving steadily, and it is thought
that he will be able to appear in court
next week to testify at the preliminary
hearing to be held before Justice Boil
ton.
Bates was placed in Jail because al
first the nature of Almonds injuries
were not known, and the officers
thought proper to hold him until the
result of the wound should be deter
mined.

ELECTION May Be
HELD EARLY IN JULY
Candidates are DESTROYS of Getting
Done With PoIitics-EIeven Have
Announced for Commissioners Of
flee.

Candidates for municipal offices, and
others, are taking great deal of in
terest in the meeting of the city ex-
ecutive committee tonight, which was
called for the purpose Of deciding
upon the dates for the municipal pri-
maries.
In view of the fact that nearly all
the candidates have requested the
committee to order the election to be
held earlier this year than formerly,
it is generally believed that this re-
quest will be granted and that the
election will probably take place be-
fore that time.
In view of the fact that there are
already eleven candidates for the Of
flee of commissioner and more to an
nounce later, it is believed, those
who are running have done some fig
uring as to how many votes will be
required to put candidate into the
second primaries, including the new
registrations, and with eleven candi-
dates in the field. and it being neces-
sary to vote for two, it would appear
that in order for candidate to get in
to the second race it will be necessary
for him to receive in the neighbor
hood of ITS votes. OF course, some
candidates will be stronger than 9th
ers, and allowance is made for this
in making the estimate.
1t is not believed that anyone viii
be nominated in the first primary be
cause of the number of candidates
and the necessity of receiving a ma
jority of all the votes cast in order tt
nominate.
Under the commission form of gov
ernment, Hattiesburg will be allowed
only three executive committeeman
against nine, as formerly. The Law
provides that the executive committe'
shall consist of as many members a

Under the municipal code the mayo

HAVE LEGAL right TO
ACQUIRE The PROPERTY
They Have a Right to Acquire the
Property by Eminent Domain Pro-
ceedinss, Regardless Of the senti-
ment Against Their Doing So.


Special to The Net0s. So
Jackson, Miss, May 21.-According
to the authenticated report current in
railroad circles, the New Orleans &
Great Northern, Gulf and Ship Island
and Alabama & Vicksburg roads are
considering the feasibility of acquir-
ing ownership of Mississippi's historic
old state house at the head of Capitol
street and converting the structure
into union station.
The three common carriers in ques-
tion have the legal right to acquire
the property by eminent domain pro-
ceedings, its value to be fixed by a
jury of eighteen men. While there
is no instance on record in this state
of realty belonging to the common
wealth being acquired by this process,
it is conceded by well-informed law
yers that such a proceeding would be
valid. regardless of what protests
might be made by citizens and patriot
ic societies who desire to see the ven-
cradle building used for other purpos-
es.
short time ago it was announced
that the New Orleans Great Northern
road intended to erect freight and
passenger depots of its own at the
hand of C0up,aroa etrao+ a-;fbio a
stones throw of the old capitol In
fact, the necessary property for this
purpose has been purchased by the
company, and ties and rails ordered
for the extension of the n. o. G. \
tracks from Nogan, three miles South
of Jackson, to this terminal point
The company has also acquired right
of-way for an outlet North of Jackson
passing through Belhaven Heights
and, according to current report, the
! Burlington road is in reality behind
the extension movement.
