Managua, Aug. 22.-This city is now

Managua has formed their goal for
ten long, bloody months, and they
are now the victors.
Contrary to expectations, Madriz

Although fighting has practically

MUCH Interest IS
Being MANIFESTED
Voting Is Brisk, And Each Candidate
Has Friends At The Polls Who
Are Looking After His Interest,"
Good Country Vote.

The first primary to nominate a
for congress from the Sixth
district of Mississippi is in progress
today, and friends of the respective
candidates are making a final stand
in the interest of their favorite.
At both precincts in Hattiesburg,
the voting has been brisk up to the
time of going to press, and indications
are that good vote will be polled.
Country people who vote at the Hat
tiesburg precincts came in early to
avoid the heat, and before noon
nearly sixty-five per cent. of the
country vote had been polled.
While it is impossible to make any
intelligent forecast of the result in
the district, it is generally conceded
that in Hattesburg and Forrest coun-
ty Mr. Tally will receive a substan
tial plurality, and that Mr.. Lewis
will be second. Mr.. Harrison
however, will receive a considerable
number of votes in this county.
1t is believed that with the excep
tion of a few small and remote
districts, the result in For
rest county will be known by
8 or 10 o'clock tonight, and that near
by counties will also be heard
from. The returns will be received
at Mr.. Tally's headquarters in this
city; and while this information will
of course, not be official, or absolute
ly correct, it will be approximately so
and will serve to give an intelligent
idea of the probable result in the dis
trict.
Each of the candidates is repre-
sented by friends at the polls at both
the Hattiesburg precincts, and an eff
fort is being made to get out full
vote in this city.

THE LUMBERMEN
PROTEST RATES
Hold Indignation Meeting at St. Louis
and Protest Against Raise Of
Southwestern Trunk Lines.
Special to The Ne1os.

Special to The Neios.
st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. ga mass
meeting to which six hundred lumber
manufacturers of the South and
Southwest have been invited, is to be
held at the Jefferson Hotel in st.
Louis next Wednesday. The meeting
has been called by the American Lum-
bermen of Chicago, and is to protest
against the recent action of the rail-
road trunk lines in the territory,
through the Southwestern freight traf-
fc committee, in canceliing the rate
divisions of lumber on all tap line
connections. The call covers all
branches of the trade, including hard
wood and yellow pine. The lumber
men claim the new rule will work
a great hardship upon them, raising
the rates on lumber from Is to rs
per cent, and thereby increasing its
cost to the consumer.
The order of the railroads was filed

MANY FARMERS
Are EXPECTED
To Attend Institute Which Will be
Held in Hattiesburg on Wednes-
day, August oath.

Advices received from numerous
sources indicate that the attendance
of farmers upon the institute to be
held in Hattiesburg next Wednesday
and Thursday will be larger than was
at first anticipated. The institute has
been we'll advertised and in view of
the fact that the Gulf and Ship Island
and the Mississippi Central railroads
will offer low roundtrip rates for the
occasion, it is believed that the at
tendance will be large.
The excursion over the Northeast
ern railroad to the Mcneil expert
ment station, which will be run on
Thursday, will doubtless be taken ad-
vantage of by large number of peo-
Pile, z in view of the fact that those
who aAend the Hattiesburg institute
will go to Mcneil in a body on that
date. it is safe to say that, with the
people who will be picked up between
Meridian and Hattiesburg and points
South of Hattiesburg, the train will
be crowdI to its utmost capacity.
A special rate of s1.10 for the round
trip from Hattiesburg has been an
nounced for this occasion.

SONS OF VETERANS
MAY REORGANIzE
Former Local Camp May be Gotten
Together Again Before the Reun-
ist ion of Veterans.

In view of the fact that the state
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans is to be held in Hattiesburg
next October, movement is now on
foot to reorganize the local camp of
Sons of Confederate Veterans, which
was at one time nearly one hundred
strong.
1t is generally believed that there
will be a large number of visitors to
the city on this occasion, and it is
the desire of local veterans and daugh-
ters, as we'll as the people of Hatties-
burg generally, to entertain the visit
ors in such style as will be a credit
to this city.
There are a large number of young
men in Hattiesburg who are sons of
veterans, and it is hoped to get them
all together at an early date and Or
ganize local camp Of U. S. c. ", so
= that the organization may do it's share
towards making the reunion a sue
cess.
Judge w. H Cook and Mr.. George
fairfield, who took an active part in
organizing the first camp of sons in
Hattiesburg, will take pleasure in as
sisting in reorganizing the camp, and
it is believed that with little effort,
more than hundred members can be
secured.
1t is very necessary that the camp
be organized at an early date in or
der to be of some assistance in ar
ranging for the reunion, and it is the
desire of the veterans and daughters
and the Commercial Club that every
citizen of Hattiesburg take an active
interest in the reunion and help to
make it a success.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The entry OF
Russian Jew immigrants at the port
of Galveston, Texas, will be regulated

reached this decision after an investi-

WAS ARRESTED ON
VAGRANCY charge
But it Seemed a Pity to Treat the
Mayor Donald Will Give Him a
Chance to Make Good.

The need for state reformatory
for wayward youths of Mississippi is
repeatedly emphasized by cases which
are brought before Police Justice ]. E.
Davis, of the Hattiesburg court, and
the question of what to do with de-
linauent juveniles has become a per-
picking problem to the officials of
this city.
Recently there was brought before
Judge Davis a white youth, apparent
ly about fourteen years of age, who
had been arrested on a charge of va
grancy. The boy, it is stated, is a
industrious lad and has been deserted
by his father. He is without employ.
ment by no fault of his own, it is
said. but the law provides. that all
persons who have no visible means OF
support are vagrants, hence, this boy
had no defense to offer.
Mayor Donald's attention was called
to the case, with the result that the
charge of vagrancy was withdrawn
This, however, did not remedy the
situation so far as the lads future
was concerned, and Mayor Donald
determined to put the boy upon his
honor and give him an opportunity to
make good He was instructed to re
port to the city jailer and to assist
that official in way which might be
suggested by him in return for his
board and lodging.
In the meantime, Mayor Donald is
making an effort to secure employ
ment for the friendless lad. He is
said to be an intelligent youth, active
apparently industrious and very de-
sirous of making his own way in the
world. Mayor Donald believes that
if given an opportunity, he will prove
his desire to earn his own livelihood
The boy is large for his age, strong
and healthy, and is capable of render.
ing valuable services.
Mayor Donald would be glad to
hear from anyone who is in a position
to give the lad employment.

Farmers TAKING
Much INTEREST
In Proposition to Establish Canning
Factory in or Near the State
Capital.

Special to The NeDs.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 22.-Farmers
are taking a great deal of interest in
the movement to establish a canning
factory in or near Jackson, and many
of them will take stock in the enter
prise. Not only the farmers of Kinds,
but many of those of Rankin county,
have agreed to plant such truck as
can be used by the factory next year
The movement is progressing salts
factorily, and Mr.. Witty, the promo
ter, expects to have everything shap-
ed up and the plant ordered in a short
time. Many of the business men have
agreed to buy only the products of
the factory, as long as it lasts, which
insures a good market for all the
goods that can be turned out.
This, it is pointed out, means that
many thousands of dollars sent out
of the state in the past will be
kept at home, and Mr.. Witty will, as
the business justifies, increase the ca
pacity of the plant. He has been con-
ferring with the farmers recently and
signing contracts with them for such
fruits and vegetables as will be re-
quired by the factory. He is conf
dent he can find a ready market for
all the goods he can put up, and the
main thing at present is to get the
farmers to plant truck.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-22

He is convinced that admission at
Galveston has been too easy, and that
fact known in Europe has stimulated
immigration to the port. In only one
instance has the department been
able to establish a case where the So
ciety actually paid the passage of an
immigrant, but it is commonly known
immigration to the port, in only one
that the organization aids them in TAX
ing passage and houses and feeds
them at Galveston until they find en-
ployment.
That feature has never been passed
upon, but the department entertains
some doubts of its legality.
The two ship loads which were al
lowed to land in June were not pro.
ceeded against by the government
because they had started from Euro
pean ports before notice was given
of the determination to rigidly enforce
the law. The steamer Hanover, how
ever, which arrived Wednesday
sailed from Bremen after the depart
ment's decision was known.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-22

was made to have the legislature
make an appropriation to the fund,
but the bill was never reported from
committee, and the women of the
state have taken the matter in charge.
1t is proposed to erect the monument
on the capitol grounds.
The veterans, Daughters and Sons
of Veterans of the state are working
together in this movement, and an
appeal has been sent out to every
county in the state to organize and
solicit funds for the monument Good
progress has been made in the work,
and contributions are coming in rapid
ly.
There has been great deal of talk
about erecting monument to the
women of the Confederacy, but no
concerted action was taken in the
matter till recently, and it is hoped
every Southern state will commem-
crate the heroism. Of its women in
this way.
