been presented In open court a plea
or guilty from one who paid the
graft.
This corroborates the plea Of gull

that the confessions heretofore by
others than Wylie are substantiated
and that all outstanding indictments
and prosecutions for restitution are
helped one hundredfold.
Mr.. Lyon declared yesterday that
Farnnm's plea Of guilt was only one

that Joe B. Wylie had not lied.

EXPRESSIONS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Fayette. Miss. May las a mem
Der of the Democratic executive com
mittee, am opposed to calling a SEN
atorial primar y election in November
of this year. | do not think such a
primary, if called, would be a final
settlement of the senatorial question.
It would not prohibit any citizen with
senatorial aspirations from entering
the general primary of 1911 against
the successful candidate in the pri-
mary of 1910. think the committee
should be Influenced to some extent
by the recent ruling of the attorney
general. Two state primaries follow
ing each other in two years would
prove too much politics for the peo-
pie, and in my opinion, would be
hurtful to all the business and farm
ing interests of the people of Missis-
sippi JAMES MCCLURE.

YEWELL WANTS ELECTION.

Carrollton, Miss, May lin an
swer to your telegram will say that
l favor calling the primary because,
since it is charged that Senator Percy
secured his election at the hands of
the Legislature by the use of improp-
er means, and since Senator Percy
and Governor Vardaman have both
agreed to submit their claims to the
people. inviting all other candidates
to join them, | think it would be best
that the people, at an early date, settle
the question as to whom they want to
represent them in the Senate and so
that the commission of the represen-
tative will not be questioned ! know
of no law which forbids such primary.

Committee CALLS
ON SUPERVISORS
Matter of Issuing Bonds for State Nor
NAL Presented to That Body
This Afternoon. f>

The committee recently appointed
by Mr. Fl. S. Stevens, to go before
the board of supervisors for the pur-
pose of presenting TO that body the
question of issuing bonds to secure
the state normal school for Hatties-
burg, had meeting this morning in
the directors rooms of the Citizens
Bank, and this afternoon went before
the board and outlined the matter to
them
The meeting this morning was at
tended by all members of the commit
tee, the matter was discussed enthu-
siastically, and it was decided to ask
the supervisors to take action on the
proposition at their present meeting
This committee is composed of the
most intelligent and substantial bust
ness and professional men of the city,
and it is certain that they will ad-
vance every legitimate argument in
an effort to interest the supervisors
in the normal question. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Hattiesburg is the
logical point for the institution, and
1t is thought to be almost certain that
the city council will take favorable
action on the proposed bond issue at
its meeting tomorrow night.
There appears to be practically no
difference of opinion among citizens
in regard to the necessity for secur-
ing this school, and it is believed, for
that reason, that bond issues by the
city and county for this purpose will
meet with no opposition on the part
of the taxpayers.

WESTON REACHES
new YORK CITY
Walked From the Pacific to the Allan
tic Ocean Thirteen Days Ahead of
Schedule Time.
(BU Associated Press1

New York May 2-Richard Payson
Weston set foot on Manhattan Island
today after walking from the Pacific
to the Atlantic Ocean, approximately
3,4S0 miles, in seventy-seven days.
thirteen days ahead of schedule plan
ned.
He left Yonkers this morning. COM
pleted his morning walk at Broadway
and Seventy-second street, where he
had lunch. and in tn eafternoon pro-
ceeded to the city hall. Glorious as
this accomplishment was, it assumes
the character of greatness when it is
considered that Weston is seventy
two years old, and that no monetary
prize was held out as a reward of his
feat.
Last year Weston walked from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, planning to
make the trip in one hundred days.
but severe storms encountered and de-
layed him so much that it required 105
days to make the journey So he an
nounced that he would walk back in
ninety days and in the end he showed
that he had done considerably better
than that.

PRIVILEGE TAX Law
HAS Been CHANGED
No Licenses Can Now Be Sold for
Months, Beginning Today.

In the new privilege tax law, which
went into effect all over the state yes
terday, there are some radical chang
es which will doubtless be of interest
to payers of this tax.
The most important change in the
old law, perhaps, is the provision that
no lice nse may be Used for a period
of less than one year. The old law
provided that all the privilege taxes
should become due and payable dur
ing the month of May of each year,
and taxes were taken out for the un-
expired period. For instance. party
starting in business during the month
of August was required to pay privi-
lege for the remainder of that year
only
All privilege taxes issued last year
expired at twelve o'clock on last Sat
urday night. and must be renewed
during the month of May. This tax,
for whatever purpose required, must
be taken out for a full year under the
new law, and the tax collector is re-
quired to mail statements to tax pay
ers before their licenses expire. This
applies to the new law, however, and
will therefore, not be necessary for
tax collectors to mail this notice until
one year from this date, or the date
upon which the license is issued.
Payers of privilege taxes would do
well to bear these facts in mind and
take out their privilege licenses dur
ing the present month. in order to
avoid damages.

met AT STATION
BY BRASS Band
And Many Citizens Joined in The
Effort to Show Hattiesburg's Ap-
probation Of Splendid Talent Of
Home Girls.

The young ladies who composed the
spelling team from the Hattiesburg
schools, which won first prize in the
state contest held at Meridian last
Friday, were given a royal welcome
on their return to the city Saturday
afternoon.
Upon learning of the success of the
local team, Mr.. Thos. NJ Ferguson i'm
mediately got busy with a subscrip-
tion to raise funds for the purpose of
entertaining the young ladies on their
arrival, and it took only short while
to raise more than sufficient money
for the purpose.
When the train pulled into the New
Orleans & Northeastern passenger
station, there were perhaps two hun
dred enthusiastic citizens, headed by
a brass band, awaiting the victors,
and when they alighted from the
train a cheer of congratulation rent
the air, the band played and every
lCJOiICh, iHdililCStlnS tHcll DiedS-
ure in various ways.
This was altogether a surprise to
the young ladies composing the team,
and they were overwhelmed with ap-
probation of the consideration shown
them by such large number of citi-
zens.
After the noise and demonstration
at the station had somewhat subsid-
ed. the members of the spelling team
were informed that other pleasures
awaited them, and, preceded by the
band. playing martial music, they
proceeded with the crowd to the near
est car line, where a car was boarded,
the band climbing upon the top, and
ride over the lines of the Traction
company was enjoyed to the fullest
extent. The band played and the
people shouted, everyone apparently
filled with a spirit of genuine en-
thusiasm.
This was the second state contest
to be won by the Hattiesburg team,
and it is gratifying to know that the
next contest will be held in Hatties-
burg, this having been decided at Me-
ridian last Friday.
Each member of the local team is
deserving of much credit, and the cit.
liens of Hattiesburg are proud of
their efforts. individually and collec-
lively. Besides winning the first prize
in the genuine contest Hattiesburg
has further cause for congratulation
in the fact that one of the prizes for
individual effort was won by Miss
Mabel Nixon, of this city, she having
tied for third honor and the decision
being given her by the judges.
