PUT ORGANIZATION
IN WORKING ORDER
Meeting is for the Purpose Of Inaugu-
rating an Aggressive and Progress
i've Campaign for Out Of Town
Business.

The Hattiesburg Rebate Associa-
tion, which was organized several
months ago, but which has not been
heard from for some time, will hold
an important meeting at the CONNER
cial Club rooms tomorrow night, when
plans will be laid for an aggressive
and progressive campaign for out-of-
town business.
The Rebate Association, which is
composed of practically all the retail
merchants of Hattiesburg, was organ
lied for the purpose of inducing resi-
dents of other towns to do their trad
ing in Hattiesburg, by offering spehial
inducements in the way of reduced
prices, and also by refunding car fare
to all purchasers of a certain amount
of goods from members of the associa-
ton.
When the organization was perfect
ed last fall, committees were appoint
ed to draft bylaws and also to arrange
a schedule of rebates to be offered to
out-of-town traders. Owing to the fact
that no secretary for the association
was available at the time, the organi-
cation passed into a comatose state,
from which it is hoped to revive it
at the meeting to be held tomorrow
night.
At this meeting it is proposed to
put the association on a thoroughly
sound and practical working basis and
to begin a campaign of advertising
Immediately, so that its members may
get the beneqt of the same during the
fall trading season. 1t is desired that
all members be present and help to
outline the plans of the campaign.

Mrs. Bell is reported to have exclaim-
ed.
Let it come" Bell replied. "I'm
not going to get out of their way"

gun range, Bell whipped a revolver
from his pocket. His wife stood at
Bells side, their child in her arms.
Bell slowly raised his gun, and ap-
parently before the Duncans realized
what Bell was about, he began firing.
Three shots rang out and both broth
ers fell. Both of them were mortally
wounded, but with more bullets, Bell
made sure of their dispatch.
A Mobile and Ohio train arrived at
the station as a crowd collected, but
before local officers could effect the
slayer's arrest, he led his wife and
child into the train. They came to
Columbus, where Bell gave himself
up to Sheriff Prowell. Bell refuses

having successfully eluded the officers
since February 13, when the First
Bank of Highland was robbed in day
light of about $500, man supposed to
be one of the gang charged with end
ing a series of robberies with the hold
up of the bank is in Jail at Baton
Rouge. La.
He gives his name as Arthur How
ard, and according to the Louisiana
officers strongly resembles Pat Powers,
the alleged leader of the gang, for
whom a warrant is out charging him
with bank robbery. His connection
with the gang that operated here is
established through the fact that in
his possession were found guns stolen
from the San Bernardino Hardware
company and clothing from the Ames
store.
The bandit who entered the High
land bank dropped coat stolen from
the Ames store, and as he mingled with
the posse of a hundred citizens search
ing for him he gave away two of his
three guns to unarmed members. Both
were later identified as having been
taken from the hardware store.
