Weary of the strife and dishearten-

scattered hopes about him, Hudspeth,
who made his home at Midlothian,
Chesterfield county, penned the fol-

he called Dolly" on March s, 1909:

me with nothing but Dead Sea fruit.

peth. but hea could not be found. In
number of saloons the searchers
were told Hudspeth had been seen
there. but those who wished to find
him could not locate him.
The searehers traced him to the
johnson hotel in Washington. In the
national capital detectives from Rich

Charges OF unfair" were rife
among Broad and Main street mer-
chants Friday morning in connection
with the resolution of council re-
questing the city attorney to frame an
ordinance which will necessitate the
removal of all show cases from their
present stands on the sidewalks.
The order of removal will in itself
mean a great Inconvenience and ex-
pense, the merchants declare. Their
chief complaint, however. lies in the
fact that the ordinance deals only with
those merchants located on Broad
street from Ninth to Adams and on
Main street from Eighteenth to First.
The Idea contatned in such an or
dinance Is all right" said Mr.. Thai
himer, of the firm of Thalhimer Bros,
on Broad street But 1t should be
made to apply to all merchants on
all streets. The fact that the crowds
are more dense in one particular To-
cality than in others should not be
considered, Merchants may move.
Another section may grow more pop

not fair to have one set of laws for
one part of the city and a different
set for another. Such condition
might cause the town to become d.
Vided against itself"
A majority OF the merchants coin
eide with the opinion OF MIR. Thai
himer. All admit that TO remove their
show cases will be a great inconven-
fence; indeed. that it will mean a
considerable decrease in sales receipts
That it is as. fair Ia one as for an
other. however, is the general atti-
tude.
Make Many Sales.
All the merchants agree that a
number of articles are sold as a re-
suit of being displayed in these side
walk show cases, wnen IL would be
extremely difficult To dispose of them
without such display on the other
hand. it Is pointed out that the show
cases also sometimes injure business
particularly in winter in that they
serve as partial block to crowds at

Of democracy. You have heard some
loud-sounding harangues from Mr..
Tally and Mr.. Harrison on the tariff
and on other national issues. think
/ know as much or more about those
subjects than either of them, but |
am not going to weary you with tell
ing it. Ny impression is that Mr..
Tally and Mr.. Harrison neither knew
exactly what the tariff was until this
campaign began and then they read
up in an encyclopedia
am running on my own merits
because l believe Frank Lewis BY
training and by inclination can best
serve the needs and the interests Of
this district And 1 am not running
as the tail Of anybody's senatorial kite
either. The farmers. are the origina-
tors of the wealth Of the country.
Mississippi has eight congressman and
for years not farmer among them.
and now only one. Going back to
where the memory OF man runneth
not to the contrary, the Sixth district
has been represented by a lawyer.
The farmers have not arisen to the
needs OF representation in congress
and this is their first opportunity Of
voting for farmer and business man.
1t Is human nature that a man should
look after his own interests. You
get majority Of lawyers in the legis-
lature and the interests Of the law
yers receive Just little better atten-
ton than the interests Of othr people.
It would be the same way If we had a
majority Of doctors or other profess
sions or callings. It is better to have
all callings and all professions repre-
scented in our law-making bodies.
Fellow citizens, II am your choice,
am going to represent the whole
people. The man who appeals to one
class against the other is not worthy
to represent the people Of South Mis-
sissippi. I am going to represent the
entire district. Mr. Tally is my
friend, but in his efforts to array the
hill counties against the coast, I think
he fails to show proper dignity for
the office to which he aspires. We
are Of one blood and of one bone. Our
interests are largely mutual and are
interviewer, and the man who tries to
array section against section OF class
against class should be repudiated. !
Mr.. Tally and Mr.. Harrison are both
seeking the votes of the people on the
grounds of being home men, and they
claim nearly every county in the dis
trict as being at one time or another
their home. They are drifters and
they don't get near the people. was
born in the county in which l have
resided all my life. My father before
me was born in that county. I have

and progress of this section of the
state all my life.
l want your vote in the first pri-
mary, but l am going to be in the
second primary. Harrison and Tally
both know this and both are fighting
me for that reason. II through SEN
timent, you feel that you must vote
