SWINDLER WORKS THE
old SPECTACLE GAME

Wesson, Miss, June 3.-One of the
smoothest frauds that has been work
ed on the people of Wesson, was
worked here Wednesday. A man
came to town in a wagon with lot of
speotacles. He would send two little
boys who were with him to different
parts of the town. The boys would
go into a house and tell that they had
pair of gold spectacles which they
found on the road 32 miles from here
and say as they were moving from
Texas to Arkansas and were out OF
money they wanted TO sell the specta-
cles for 81. If they could not get the
dollar they would take so or 25 cents.
They worked number of citizens be
fore the officers got on to them. The
man was working the trick to escape
paying license.

CENTURY OPENING
A GREAT SUCCESS
Hundreds of Pleased Visitors Enter
tanned Last Night at Popular New
Drug Store.

The formal opening of the Century
Drug Store on Main street Wednes-
day evening was a pronounced sue
cess. From eight to eleven-thirty
there was a constant stream of peo-
pie going and coming. During the
early hours the crowd was so great,
that it was with difficulty the clerks
and the young ladies assisting could
pass out the souvenirs.
The handsome fixtures of the store
set off to advantage the hundreds OF
pink and white roses, vines and ferns
used in the decorations. In the la
dies parlor with it's mirror-lined
walls, big pink and white roses and
vines were used effectively, while the
archway to the drug store proper, was

(By Associated PreSS.)

Augusta, Ca, June 3.-As the result
of tornado here last night which
reached a velocity of So miles an
hour, lasted for sixteen minutes and
did more damage than any in the his
tory of the city, with the exception of
the tornado of 1878, the city today is
strewn with uprooted trees, broken
limbs, portions of roofs, telephone and
telegraph poles and dangling wires.
Mrs. E. M. Biddle was badly injured

VARIOUS FORMS OF
AMUSEMENT PLANNED
Hattiesburg People Who Have Been
Going Away to Celebrate the Fourth
May Be Given an Opportunity to
Enjoy the Day at Home This Year.

In view of the fact that for several
years past Hattiesburg citizens have
made a habit of leaving the city on
July and spending the day in nearby
cities and towns where celebrations
are usually held on this occasion, the
Commercial Club is considering plan
to have a big celebration here on
that day, so that the people may be
given an opportunity to enjoy the
Gay at home and have as good a time
as they could enjoy elsewhere, and
at the same time keep the money in
Hattiesburg.
1t has always been the custom in
Hattiesburg for the various business
establishments to close on July 4,
and, since there was no entertainment
provided for the people, large mum
| Der of citizens have made practice
of going to New Orleans, Gulfport
Biloxi or some other place where
special arrangements had been made
to give them an ENJOYABLE time.
The Commercial Club, realizing
that this should not be so, is consid
erng the advisability of arranging TO,
big celebration in Hattiesburg OF
next independence Day, and the prob
abilities are that the people will be
given an opportunity to stay at homo
on July 4 and have as much fun 81
they usually do by going to othel
places.
Such celebration would not onl!
keep Hattiesburg citizens at home
but it would bring thousands of visit
ors from nearby towns to enjoy th'
festivities of the occasion, and wouli
be of inestimable benefit to the city
Hattiesburg is capable of doing tn
thing up in the proper package, ant
it is to be hoped that the Commercial
Club will see fit to carry the schem
through. The proposition should b
of great interest to every citizen O
the city, and the Commercial Clu

BANKS BELIEVE
in PRINTERS INK
Financiers Realize That Newspaper
Advertising is Most Effective
Method of Publicity.

Times change and men and institu-
tions change with them. 1t is only In
recent years that banks and other D.
nancial institutions realized the i'm
portanee of advertising and particular
ly of newspaper advertising. Today
no bank would attempt to run without
the liberal use of newspaper space,
while some of the larger banks employ
an advertising expert to give all his
time to this department Even where
no regular advertising man is en-
ployed, the president, vice president
or cashier of the bank looks after the
newspaper advertising and the time
thus given is found to produce larger
and more lasting results than in other
duties connected with the position.
The National Bank of Commerce.
which has been for years liberal
user of newspaper space and has en-
| joyed a markedly prosperous growth,
| is putting on this month through the
columns of The News and through
an especially trained and expert corps
of advertising men and solicitors,
campaign for new accounts, that is
already showing most gratifying re-
suits. Messrs. E. N Foxes, A. P.
Price, A. H. Baxter and D. I. Crowley
are iii charge of this campaign. These
gentlemen have been most successful
in their chosen line of work in other
cities, and before the month ends
Hattiesburg will have a financial
awakening. The town will receive a
house to house canvass, and in every
home an effort viii be made to have
a savings account OF a checking &C
count or both started by members ol
the family. At the same time the
columns of The News will be liberally
used in a campaign of education re
garding the advantages and necessi
ties of saving.

The one hundred and second ami

Who MAY VOTE in
CITY ELECTIONS
Election Commissioners To Be Sole
Judges as to Who is Qualified
To Participate.

As has been the case in every mu-
nicipal election held in Hattiesburg
during the past several years, the
mooted question as to who will be en-
titled to vote in the approaching pri-
maries is again being discussed by the
various candidates and their friends.
In this connection, it may be well
for everyone to remember that the
election commissioners are the sole
judges of the qualifications necessary
for one to participate in an election.
as they have the privilege, under the
law, to challenge any and all persons
about whose qualifications there may
be the least doubt, and to require the
voter to make affidavit that he has
complied with all the requirements Of
the primary election laws.
AS will be remembered. it was con-
tended by some during the ,ast mum
cipal campaign that unless citizen
had been assessed with poll taxes by
the tax assessor he could net be de-
clared delinquent, regardless OF
whether or not the poll tax had been
paid, and that all such were therefore
entitled to vote. Mr.. w. M. Conner
who at that time was chairman Of
the City Executive Committee. asked
the attorney general for ruling on
the subject and received an unofn-
cial opinion that a citizen should NOT
be entitled to vote unless the poll taz
had been paid on or before the nrsl

POINTERS FOR Bar
FROM SUPREME Court

Special to The Net0s.
Jackson, Miss, June 3.-For the in
formation of the bar generally, the
clerk of the supreme court has issued
the following important notice, which
will apply to the remainder of the
March term, now in course, and which
explains itself:
jackson, Miss, June 1, 1910.
ITO the Bar of Mississippi: The
court directs me to notify the bar of
the state that no further arguments
will be heard after Thursday, the 18th
day of June, 1910. All cases in which
oral argument is requested and which
have not been argued by that time
will be continued until the October
term. Any cause to which oral argu-
ment has been requested can be sub
mitted at any time.
"This course is made necessary by
reason of the fact that the court now
has for consideration more causes
than 1t can dispose of before adjourn
ment, and since causes argued after
this time will more than likely be con
tinued, the court deems it best to have
an oral argument as near the time the
cause will be considered as possible
so as to receive the full benefit of ~
oral argument.

Mayor Donald has served notice
to the public that the sale of near
beer in Hattiesburg will not be toll
Grated under any circumstances, re-
gardless of the recent decision of the

contemplate opening drink emporiums
for the purpose of dispensing this
beverage will do so at their own risk.

Donald this morning, that l will in

THE trouble about the decision OF

more of the genuine article than the
other. 1t all looks alike, tastes alike
goes through the same process of dis
tillation and it is very hard to distin

we will be doing so. We are going

In this connection, Police Justice
