CITIZENS MEETING
this AFTERNOON
Mayor Donald Desires That People
Should Make Effort to Get Tuber-
culosis Exhibit for Hattiesburg.

Shall Hattiesburg have the tubercu-
losis exhibit of the state board of
health at Jackson, which has been on
exhibition at Jackson during the past
two weeks?
A citizens meeting has been called
for o'clock this afternoon at the
Commercial Club rooms by Mayor
Donald. Members of the Forrest
County Medical Society, and CONNER
cial Club, have been urged to attend.
"Hattiesburg has a chance to Sc
cure this valuable exhibit" said
Mayor Donald this morning. "The
state board of health has appropriated
5000 towards the expense of placing
the exhibit for period of ten days,
the only condition being that Hatties-
burg raise the balance of the required
expenses-about $500.
Instructors come with the exhibit
who are prepared to teach the people
the latest methods for controlling tu-
berculosis."
Action in the matter may be deferr-
ed since it is hardly probable that a
representative meeting can be secured
this afternoon.

BANK STATEMENT
IS DISAPPOINTING
The Decrease in Loans Was Not as
Large as xpected-Stocks Are
Very Strong, However.

New York, Nov. 7.-Stocks were re-
markably strong in the early trading
Saturday, and by their action seemed
to prove that the break of Friday was
nothing more than a raid planned to
wipe out weak accounts. Union Pa.
cttic was leader and sold at the high.
est price on this movement. Steel
also ranged around the highest rec.
ord, going within one-quarter of the
top made Friday morning. Net gains
were general at the close of the day,
but final prices were not the best
ones.
Some disappointment was express
ed over the bank statement. The de-
crease in loans was not as large as
expected, but that the report was
correct is shown from the fact that
the average statement records an in
crease in loans of $S32,4OO, while the
actual statement shows a decrease of
$5,S31 200. The loss of surplus re.
serve in the average statement is So
SCI, ,275, while the loss in the actual
statement is $3,SS1 ,625.

Stocks Stronq.

Stocks were strong most of the
week. What little bursts of activity
they had resulted in better prices
until the break of Friday. Steel was
the undisputed leader every day, with
Shelters and Amalgamated the other
active features of the metal group and
with Canadian Pacific and Union Pa
cific leading the railroads, Joined la
ter in the week by Reading.
Activity of Canadian Pacific was due
to a report from apparently reliable
quarters that the dividend of the 500,
which is controlled by the Canadian
Pacific, would be increased to s per
cent Naturally, Wisconsin Central
also became active. President Shaugh-
messy of the Canadian Pacific an
nounced that the company planned to
build 400 miles of new lines in Cana
ida next year. Rumor insists that
there is deal between Canadian Pa
,cific and some American railroad, but
A possible purchase of the Green Bay

looks tangible, and even that is not

BUT THE BETTING IS
HE WILL NOT BE SEATED
The Plan Is to Capture One Branch
Of Legislature, Refuse to Seat Hoop
er, and Let Patterson Hold Over
Will Cry Fraud.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 7.-"As last
desperate effort to save the machine,
the Patterson-Taylorites are planning
to capture the legislature; they have
practically conceded that Hooper will
be elected, but it will be a barren
victory if Hooper is elected without
the legislature" said State Secretary
Thomas B. Johnson of the anti-ma-
chine Democratic committee today.
Continuing, Mr.. Johnson said:
"The cry Of fraud is simply to pre-
pare soft spot of the Patterson-Tay-
lor men to fall. The scheme is to
capture at least one branch of the
legislature, and thus to prevent Hoop
er from taking his seat. If they
should elect both the lower house and
the senate they would contest the
election and seat Taylor. But if they
only get one branch they will refuse
to go into a joint caucus, as the con-
stitution requires, and canvass the
vote for governor. This will leave
Patterson free to hold the office for
for two years longer, as he holds un-
til his successor is sworn in.
ut is important for our friends to
vote the entire fusion ticket, from
Hooper down to the legislative can

lor supporters have practically con-
ceded the defeat of their candidate,
but the Importance of electing a ia
vorable legislature cannot be over
estimated"
Bets at two to one are being made
in Nashville that even if Hooper is
elected he will never be allowed to
take his seat.

ATTORNEYS WILL have
their CASES READY
It is Thought That the Trial Will be
in a Large Measure, Repetition
Of the Proceedings Instituted in the
Legislature.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 1.-THE cele-
brated case of the state VS.. L. G. Du-
laney, charged with the bribery of
State Senator TheQ. G. Bilbo during
the senatorial contest, will be called
for trial at Yazoo City on Monday,
November 21st, instead of one week
later, as heretofore announced.
Attorneys engaged in the celebrated
case have just two weeks in which
to get ready for trial, and information
comes from both sides that there will
be no delays or postponements.
Hon. C. M. Williamson, one of the
leading attorneys for Mr.. Dulaney,
has been quite i'll for several weeks
at his home in this city, but will
doubtless be able to take part in the
proceedings.
Attorneys for the defense have filed
with the circuit clerk at Yazoo City a
list of the witnesses to be subpoenaed

evident from the personnel of the list
that the defense not only intends to
show Mr.. Dulaney's good character
in the community where he lives, but
will also undertake to show Senator
Bilbo's bad character and to prove
that he is unworthy of belief
A goodly number of the character

ed in failure to expel Bilbo, have
been summoned. 1t will be recalled
that the senate afterwards adopted a
resolution asking Bilbo to resign, and
declaring him unworthy to sit with
honest men. If evidence of this ma
ture is introduced-and attorneys fol
the defense are confident that it is ad
missible-the trial will be, in large
measure, repetition of the testimony
offered before the state senate.

The subject of the unlawful sale OF
spirituous liquors was dealt upon at
length. Judge Johnson said that the
man who would engage in the unlaw-
full sale of liquors vas a degenerate
character. He will commit murder to
protect himself. The court paid its
respects to the white men who, it is
claimed, employ negroes to sell liquor
for them. The white man goes In re-
spectacle society and reaps the prof
it's from the sale of the life-destroying
stuff, while the negro, the go-between,
goes to the county farm. The white
man is responsible and should be in
dicted and brought to justice. Such
people as these, said Judge Johnson,
are not fit associates for vultures
and are entitled to no consideration
or sympathy. When man decides to
engage In this business, said Judge
Johnson, he deliberately makes up his
mind to risk the consequences, and
therefore should be given the full pen
atty of the law.
The attention of the jury was called
to the fact that certain persons are
engaged in the business of soliciting
orders for whiskeys These people
said the court, are. ii such thing L

Disrespect for Law.

The court began by calling the at
tention of the jury to the reputed dis
respect for the laws, which has been
repeatedly manifested by certain
classes of people in Hattiesburg. This
condition, said Judge Johnson, was
brought about largely by the lax ad-
ministration of justice by the courts
1t was well known fact, he said, that
wealthy and prominent citizens
have the advantage over the poorer
classes when a point of law is in
volved; the rich man is protected
while the poor man ofttimes is op
pressed. Justice should fall alike on
rich and poor; disrespect for the law
breeds contempt for the courts. 1t is
largely in the power of the grand jury
to remedy these evils.
Judge johnson charged the jury al
length upon the law with reference
to carrying concealed weapons. A
pistol, said the court, is the most
useless burden a man can assume
and there is absolutely no excuse
for anyone, living in country pro
tected by laws and duly authorized
officers of the law, to put pistol into
his pocket. Nine-tenths of the mur
ders committed are caused by the
carrying of concealed weapons.
