Special to The NeDs.
Alexandria, La, April 22.-Grosve-
nor Dave, director of the Southern
Commercial Congress, gave yesterday
this letter, dated April 16, which he
received from President Taft:
Il have read the statement of the
objects of the Southern Commercial
Congress. | wish to assure you that
| have a strong sympathy with all the
objects therein set out, and | sincere
ly hope that you may carry on your
congress to achieve the purposes you
have announced.
BY reaction Of the war and what
followed it, the North had about
twenty years the start of the South
in prosperity and progress. Now the
South is making faster progress than
the North, and ultimately conditions
will be the same in each section. The
present need of the South is the in
vestment of money on the cause Of
execution, cause which has been
hindered retofore by the poverty of
the Southern States The evidences
that are coming to me of aroused pub
lie sentiment on the question of i'm
proving the educational systems of
the South are most gratifying. When
ever can be of any assistance to the
Southern Commercial Congress in
helping it achieve its purpose. hope
you will call on me.
Very sincerely yours,

Be PRETERM|T1ED
Special Term of Circuit Court Will
Probably Be Called For Fourth
Monday in May.

On account of the date upon which
the. new redistricting bill goes into
effect and the consequent conflict in
the dates for holding circuit court, the
regular April term for Forrest coun-
ty, which is devoted to civil business,
will be pretermitted, and special
term for mixed business will perhaps
be call d to begin on the Fourth Mon
day in May.
To hold this special term in May it
will be necessary for Judge Cook to
make the order, it is stated, and this,
it is said, he will do. as such arrange
ment is understood to be agreeable
to Judge johnson and members of the
bar
1t is stated that there is a large
amount of business on the dockets for
both the civil and criminal terms,
and, unless a special term is held
soon there will be a surplus of busi-
ness for the fall term, besides, there
is said to be large number Of cases
which need immediate attention.
The special term, it is stated, will
last six weeks, and will be devoted to
both criminal and civil business, and
will be presided over by Judge John
son, as Forrest county is no Longer
included in Judge Cooks district

Thursday evening was well attended.

President Jackson of the Commercial

course, If there was any politics in it
they would all be here. Under the
circumstances l think those of US who
are here should proceed just as
though all the others were here
Mayor Donald called the meeting to
order and stated its purpose, which
was, he said, to take advice from the
tax payers and voters of Hattiesburg
as to what is best to be done with the
Main Street school property, which
stands condemned and unoccupied.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen, he
said, did not want to spend one dollar
of public money they were not COM
PEELED to spend; but condition con-
fronted them which APPARENTLY made
it absolutely necessary to call for an
other bond issue, or else allow the
public school interests of the city to
retrograde. 1t was recognized by
the Board as a serious problem; and

HOSTILITY TOWARD
A SPECIAL PRIMARY
Is Taken To Mean That The Governor
Has His Eyes On The Toga Now
Worn BY Senator Perey.-PoIiticaI
Speculation.

Special to The NeicS.
Jackson, Miss, April Ex-Governor
Noels evident hostility toward spe-
cial primary election in November of
the current year to settle the Sena-
torial contest, is being interpreted in
some quarters to mean that there is
a strong probability that Gov. Noel
himself may want to SHE caster in
to the ring when the proper time
arrives.
The Governors hostility toward the
plainly indicated in his Washington
interview, published in several South
ern papers, and in which he stated
that he would not pledge himself to
appoint the nominee of special pri-
mary to the unexpired term, should
Senator Percy be defeated and find
it necessary to carry out his pledge to
resign.
While it is well known that Cover
nor Noel and Senator Percy are
friends, and that a strong political af-
filiation existed between them during
the recent Democratic caucus, it is
also a known fact that Senator Percy
did not consult Governor Noel before
he made his bold speech before a
joint session of the legislature one
week ago today. nor did he outline to
Governor Noel the plan he had formed
to ask Vardaman to join with him in
demand for special primary to be
held in November of the present year
instead of awaiting until the regular
event in 1911.
Nor is it political secret that Gov
ernor Noel was not at all pleased
with the plan proposed by Senator
Percy. While no open rupture has
developed between them, nor is il
probable that there will be a rupture
at the same time the Governor has
frankly said that he don't like the
plan, does not regard it as legal OIL
binding, and is of the opinion that il
should be adopted.
That Governor Noel would like tc
have the nomination can, of course, be
taken for granted. It is a question
not open to argument. Several time;
during the Democratic caucus, wher
several votes were polled for the
Governor, and there was much tall
of bringing him in as a dark horse
he did nothing whatever to block sucf
plan, if it had been seriously con
templated and, while he was nevel
an actual contender, at the same tint
the result Of the caucus, and thu
trend of legislation that followed
showed that Gov. Noel is politician
of no small calibre.
Practically every important legisls
tive measure proposed by him wen
through by a big majority. and tn
large amount of patronage he ha
dispensed during the past six week
has given him added power and prei
tige in all parts of the state. Shout
he decide to become candidate 70
the United States Senate it must b
conceded that he would be a seriou
contender.
