BANNER PIANO CONTEST.
NOTICET
CONTESTANTS.

By mutual consent Of all parties con-
cerned in the Banner Piano Contest, we
will allow 10 per cent. additional votes
on all cast on or before Friday, Septem-
Der 23rd. This applies to all votes east
since the opening of the contest as we'll.
This offer-which is only good until
next Friday, when twill be Withdrawn
is made simply as an inducement to
have votes cast.
From the above it will be seen that
up to next Friday only 10 votes on every
hundred, or 100 on every 1000, or 10000
on every 100000 votes cast will be given
to the contestants. This is quite an in
ducement, and it will not pay contest
ants to hold their coupons back. To
hold them back depreciates their value
just 10 per cent.
We would respectfully ask our con-
testants to be more careful in future IN
counting their coupons. We ask that
all denominations be tied together in
separate packages, properly numbered.
Our count and that of contestants fire.
quently do not correspond. We will
recognize none other than our own
count.
1t is not too late to enter the contest
yet.

Simon Bourgeois and daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Favre, deceased, and
passed peacefully out of this life at her
home in Waveland, Miss, on Wednes-

o'clock.
Mrs. Bourgeois was the mother of
four daughters, Louise, Martha, Co
rinne and Cora, and seven boys, John,
Charles, Daniel, Samuel, Frank, An
drew and Edwin. Her life was an ex-
ceptionally> sunshiny one, and she was
always cheerful and happy, ever looking
on the bright side of life, with word of
encouragement for all; accomplishing,
uncondemning, unfaultfinding. Her
circle of friends was limited only to
those who knew her and to those who
surrounded her as she "went down to
the "Valley of the Shadow of Death.
She gave assurance of bright prospects
beyond the river, passing away without
fear.
The funeral took place from her late
residence in Waveland, Her remains
were inferred in Cedar Rest Cemeter
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. Father Irwin.

HARRISON TO RESIGN.
Will Giye Up District Attorneys Office to Go
to Congress.

A press telegram from Gulfport yes
terday says that Hon. B. P. Harrison will
resume his position of district attorney
next Monday and will finish out the
present criminal circuit term, relieving
Attorney M. D. Brown, temporarily ap-
pointed by Judge Tom Evans. Mr..
Harrison stated this morning that he
would tender his resignation as district
attorney about Oct. l, desiring from
this time on until he takes his seat in
Congress to devote his time to familiar
izing himself with the duties that await
him. Complete returns from every
county bearing on the recent primary
show majority for Mr.. Harrison over
Mr.. Tauy of l, 1852 votes.
It is hoped the forthcoming term OF
Court for Hancock County will be pre-
termitted, since the docket is not a
heavy one and the courthouse, having
been moved, is not in a very presentable
condition; besides, the noise made by
he workmen employed on the new
courthouse adjoining would prove very
annoying and disturbing to the session.
We have no doubt the term will be pre-
termitted, unless it becomes imperative
to expedite immediate business.

BuOXPS SUMMER PROSPERITY.

Biloxi, according to the Herald, has
had nearly as many visitors and as
much prosperity this summer as in the
record d-breaking season of last year,
while Bay ST. Louis, with its beach
driveway narrowed and badly damaged
(and still unprotected by the storm
last year, has not felt the pulsating
throbs of summer crowds and summer
gayety. Bemoaning our loss, we are
by no means envious, bat, on the con-
trary, congratulate our neighbor and
wish it every enjoyment, and uninter-
rupted continuance, of metropolitan
airs and that it might extend far and
wide, and eventually reach Bay St.
Louis.
The Herald on the subject says: sfThe
Saturday night crowds on the business
streets of Biloxi for the past six weeks
would do credit to city twice its size.
The throng between the hours of 6:3O
and 9 O'Clock on Howa I'd avenue renders
the street almost impassaole, and all
business houses on this thoroughfare
are doing good business. The summer
season, which closed on September l,
was in number of visitors to this city
nearly equal to that of last season,
which was the largest in the history of
the Queen City of the Coast. All the
hotels of this, the most popular, resort
of the Gulf Coast, have been practically
filled during the entire heated term,
and from several viewpoints the entire
city has experienced very profitable
season. Besides the $500 or 5000 regu-
lar summer visitors to this city the Sun
day and Wednesday excursions bring
large crowds, who come over for day
of recreation and to enjoy the cool
breezes from the Gulf.

SPECIAL TERM OF FEDERAL coUUF AT
Biloxi October I7-Famous Chinese Smuggling
Cases of Schooners Axel and Cynosure
VIII Be Ready for Trial.

United States Marshal Fred w. Col
Inns, Clerk LIB. Moseley and District
Attorney r. G. Lee are anticipating
busy time at Biloxi in October, when
special term of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Southern Division of
the Southern District of Mississippi will
be held. This special term is made
necessary in order to dispose Of consid-,
erable business, which is pending
before that special tribunal, which was
docket for the regular term provided for
August. and for which Judge Niles is
sued a pretermitting or postponement
order.
Marshal Collins has called up Deputy
Marshal Ben F. Todd, ST., who is at
Gulfport, and directed him to serve all
processes returnable for that term,
authorizing him to use deputy in order
to assist in the rounding up process.
There are just ten counties in the divi-
sion, which is composed of Marion, La
mar, Pearl River, Forrest, Perry,
Greene, George, Hancock, Harrison and
Jackson, which the marshal and his
deputies are compelled to scour for
jurymen and witnesses. which is con-
siderable territory, and as there is
plenty of time before the court con-
venes, which will be October II, they
will be able to do their work thoroughly.
It is expected that quite a number of
government civil cases, as well as crimi-
nal, will be ready for trial, among them
| the celebrated Chinese smuggling case,
which revolved around the two schoo-
ners Axel and Cynosure, which we're
caught in the act of running Chinks on
to the Gulf Coast from down Mexico
way during 1908. The vessels were
seized or confiscated, and one of them,
the Axel, was subsequently sold at mar
shal's sale, while their owners and oper-
ators are uuder bond for appearance to
answer the charge Of violating the Chi
nese exclusion act.
| There are other cases in which the
| Government is interested, including
quite a number of land and timber dep
relation and spoliation cases, and the
officers expect that most of the term
will be devoted to these cases, though
probably some of the pending civil
suits will be taken up if the lawyers
and itigants are ready for hearing.
For the next six or eight weeks
Judge Niles will be a very busy man,
with three court terms pending, that at
Aberdeen on Monday, Oct. 2, then to
Biloxi for the special term above al
luded to, two weeks later, and following
that very close the regular term at
jackson on the first Monday in No
vember, for civil and criminal bust
ness combined. 1t is barely possible
that there may be developments at the
Aberdeen sitting growing out of the
Steele Miller cotton failure case, and
on the criminal side, though so far
as reported there is nothing definite on
that point. The Government agents
are not talking much for publication,
and if there is anything interesting to
follow the late sitting of lawyers here
to take deposition on the equity side OF
the case they are keeping their own
counsel about it.

Governor Noel reached Jackson Mon
day afternoon, having come from Chi
cago without a stop, and in less than
half an hour after leaving the train, was
at hisdesk in the capitol building. The
governor appears to have been very
much impressed with what he has seen
and heard as to uniform taxing, con-
servation of resources and other mat
ters that have held his attention during
his absence. His efforts to dispose of
the bonds, however, do not appear TO
have been successful, owing to the con-
tinued tightness of the money market
and the demand for. ready money to
move the crops of the country. He is
satisfied, however, that the entire issue
will be placed within the next few
months as conditions improve.
