SPECIAL SESSION
Held YESTERDAY
Members Of the Board, After Canvass
ing Their Beats, Find Comparative
Iy No Opposition to the PROPOSE
tion.

At special meeting of the Forrest
County board of supervisors, held yes
terday, an order was passed declaring
the intention of the supervisors to
issue bonds of the county in the sum
of $57,50O, for the purpose of secur-
ing the location of the normal school
in Hattiesburg.
The meeting of the board yester-
day was held for the special purpose
of taking action upon this question,
it having been brought UP at pre-
vious meeting and taken under con-
sideration, members of the board pre-
ferring to take the matter up and dis
cuss it with their constituents before
taking final action.
Each supervisor, it is said, made a
thorough canvass of his beat, and, af-
ter the matter had been explained to
the citizens of the rural districts,
practically no opposition developed.
In fact, it is said that only two citi
zens of the county were known to op-
pose the bond issue, and, for this
reason, when the question was voted
upon by the board yesterday, every
member voted aye.
| President Pace and the other mem
bers of the board were warmly con
graduated for their favorable action
which is taken to indicate that the
present board is unit in encourag
ing every movement which tends tc
benefit the moral and material inter
ests of the county.
It is now a practical certainty that
the bonds will be issued by both the
city and county, and, besides this
amount. many wealthy citizens have
expressed willingness to contribute
of their private means in order tina
Hattiesburg may be enabled 70 pre-
sent to the trustees of the norma
proportion which cannot be eclipset
by that of any other city bidding fol

TO FIX date FOR
CITY PRIMARIES
Executive Committee Will Meet at
the City Hall on Saturday Night
for That Purpose.

Chairman Batson and Secretary
Beaumont have called meeting of
the City Democratic Executive Com
mittee to be held at the city hall on
Saturday night, May 21, for the pur-
pose of deciding upon dates for the
approaching municipal primaries.
A number of the candidates for the
municipal offices have requested the
committee to order the election to be
held early in July, in order that the
contest may be settled at as early
date as possible, and inasmuch as
a large number Of the business men
of the city have expressed desire
for an early election, it is thought
probable the committee will order the
first primary to be held early in July.
1t is thought quite likely that one
or more members of the present com
mittee will offer for election at these
primaries, and in this event it will be
necessary for them to resign from the
committee and new members be
chosen in their stead 1t is probable
that these matters will be disposed OF
at the meeting Saturday night

camille business in Meridian, and for
a number of years conducted a profit
able and emminently successful en-
terprise there. He organized the firm
of Grunewald & Champenois, one OF
the most prominent concerns in Me
ridian, and was actively connected
with that business for number OF
years, and when he retired from act
i've contact with it, retained stock in
it, which he now holds.
Mr. Champenois has always beer
an active factor in local politics, com
ing out in the open and clearly defin
ing his position on all public matters
He was one of the initial promoters

for at the time, but this receipt was
not on file when the Joint Committee

which amounted in all to about
S55000, and that the same was veri
