negroes MAY USE
PYTHIANS' name
Chancellor Refuses Injunction Which
Sought to Restrain Negro Lodge
From Using Same Name.

Greenville, Miss, Oct. 29.-Chancel.
lor Thomas yesterday decided the suit
of the Knights of Pythias in which
they sought to enjoin the negroes from
using the name of Knights of Pythias
or the badges, regalia, ritual, pass
word, ETC., of that order in Mississippi.
He refused to grant the Injunction,
and the case was appealed to the SUI.
preme court.
This case has attracted good deal
OF attention, for the past twelve
months and was most stubbornly
fought by the attorneys for both sides
The white Knights were represented
by Judge Percy Bell, and the colored
order by Judge r. F. Cochran, of Me-
ridian, with whom were associated
Judge c. G. Moody and w. A. Percy,
of the local bar. The case was argued
with unusual force and ability by all
the attorneys, Judge Cochran's argu.
ment being pronounced by all who
heard it as very able. The fallacy of
attempting to bring this case into the
senatorial race, which has been at.
tempted in some quarters, was exposed
by Judge Cochran, who is one of the
staunchest and most active Vardaman
men in the state.
In his closing remarks, he said;
MY political opinions and prefer.
ences are well known. My position on
the race question is equally under.
stood, but this is a court of Justice,
where all men stand and should stand
upon an absolute equality before the
law. The negroes in Mississippi do
not vote, and should not; they do not
sit upon our juries, and they should
not; but they do come into this court
asking for the white mans justice,
which has been the boast and pride
of our race, and they are entitled to it.
The saddest day of this state. and the
one that will put the blackest smirch
upon the escutcheon of our race. will
be the day when the white mans
courts, in the administration of tn,
white mans law, shall deny justice to
the negro, who is striving, as these
defendants are striving, to elevate and
build up the helpless of their race un-
der a white mans government"

Island viii Come Out at Little End
OF Horn.

The "Vardaman Special" to the
State Fair at Jackson, pulled out of
the Gulf and Ship Island station on
schedule time this morning, but, from
a standpoint of numbers the crowd
which boarded it was somewhat of a
frost. Just exactly thirty-eigh tick
cts were sold here, which was twelve
short of the number guaranteed to
the railroad before the special train
was arranged for.
1t is probable that ma
jority of Hattiesburg people
who intended to visit the fair
have already been, or will wait until
Tuesday, when the Barnum & Bailey
circus will perform at the capital. The
special" consisted of six coaches,
and it is possible that many passen-
gers were picked up between here
and Jackson. and that the train was
comfortably filled when it reached its
destination.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Returns from
the election of next Tuesday week
fraught with interest most unusual
for an "Off year"-will have to catch
the president on the wing. The pres

This is the first time, so far as can
be recalled by White House attaches,
that such a novel plan has had to be
devised to inform a president of i'm

pearance, fell yesterday as far South
as the north sections of the gulf
states, and throughout the entire

says the counsel given by Henry An
thony, who is awaiting trial at Pas
sale, N J. According to the police,
Anthony has confessed to TWENTY-FIVE
burglaries in the fashionable section
of Passaic. His operations were so
prodtble, the police say, that he
owned an automobile and was able
to indulge his whim for high stake
gambling and other expensive pas
time.
The statement made by Anthony to
the police says: "I've been at the
game more than a year, worked it
night and day and have made good
hauls, but man making $40 a week
steady is better off than one doing a
good burglary business. The pawn
brokers make more out of it than the
burglars and all your easy winnings

REBATE ASSOCIATION
Meeting LAST night
Many Retail Merchants Were Present
And Plans Were Devised by Which
Much Trade is Expected to Come
To Hattiesburq.

The meeting of the Hattiesburg Re
bate Association, held at the CONNER
cial Club rooms last night, was at
tended by practically all the retail
merchants of the city, and plans by
which the association will be put up
on a permanent and substantial bust
ness basis were formulated and will
be put into operation in the very near
future.
In the matter of perfecting a per-
manent organization, it was decided
that the associations affairs be left
entirely in the hands of the Secretary
of the Commercial Club, and an as
sistant, who will be selected
later, who were authorized to
levy an assessment upon the mem
bers of the association for what dues
it is thought may be necessary to
carry on the work, and also to appoint
committee to raise funds which will
be needed Immediately for advertis-
ing purposes.
The rebate plan which was dis
cussed last night and which was ap-
proved by all present, was to refund
to out-of-town purchasers who trade
with IF he
per cent of the amount of money ex-
pended by them. Each purchaser will
be furnished with a rebate card upon
which will be shown the amount pur-
chased at each place, and after the
purchaser finishes shopping he or she
will take the rebate card to the secre-
tary, who will refund five per cent. of
the amounts indicated on the card,
this refund to be applied in the pay
ment of railroad fare to and from
Hattiesburg.
Full details and plans of the asso-
ciatiops method of operating will be
outlined and extensively advertised
in adjoining towns within the next
few days, and the rebate schedule will
be put in operation as soon as possible,
probably within ten days or two
weeks.
Much interest was manifested in
the meeting, and it was evident that
Hattiesburg merchants have deter
mined to interfere somewhat with the
mail-order business of Chicago, st.
Louis and New Orleans firms, by Of
tering liberal inducements to all peo-
pie in this territory to patronize
home industries"

SOUTH DAKOTA
snap DIVORCES
ARE ILLEGAL
Decision Rendered by District of Co
lumbia Justice Proves Great
Shock to Divorces.

Washington, d. c., Oct 29.-Snap
divorces obtained in South Dakota
were yesterday declared illegal in the
District of Columbia by Justice Stat
ford, Washington's poet Judge. The
decision disarranged completely the
married life of Milton E. Davis, divorc-
ed under the South Dakota law from
his wife, Anna d. Davis, and married
three weeks later to Daisy Sheppard,
now correspondent in a new divorce
suit brought by his first wife.
Decision is made in a suit now
brought by Anna D. Davis for an abb
solute divorce and alimony. Davis
answers that he was granted divorce
under the laws of South Dakota, De
cember 2S, 1907, having resided in that
state since April of that year. 1t
seems probable that the case will be
appealed and bring from the supreme
court decision setting forth for all

WR!TS OF INJUNCTION
AGAINST BLIND TIGERS
Property of Several Persons Convicted
of Selling Liquor Was Attached Yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Dan Nc
giIvray.

That Police Justice Davis is deter
mined to rid Hattiesburg of its horde
OF Illicit dealers in spirituous liquors,
was evidenced yesterday when at his
instance, and by the assistance of
County Attorney r. S. Hall. iniunctions
and attachments were served upon
several parties who have recently
been convicted of selling booze" in
Hattiesburg.
Inc Injunction writs restrain the
parties upon whom they were served
from receiving or having upon their
premises spirituous or intoxicating
liquors in excess of the amount pre-
scribed by law, to-wit: One-half gal
Ion; and any such liquors hereafter
found upon said premises will consti-
tute a violation of the restraining or
der and the parties may be cited and
prosecuted for contempt.
In addition to the Injunction, Depu-
ty Sheriff McGilvray has attached the
property of w. j. Woodside, Rose Pa
daree, Corine Grant, Eli Powell. Roca
Shackleford and Jack Rogers, parties
recently convicted in the city court.
Under the law, the property of any
person convicted of the sale of in

the state and county in the sum of
$500 for both state and county, and
their property is attached for such liza

the other parties upon whom the writs
and injunctions were served.
In the past chronic offenders of the
prohibition laws have been repeatedly
fined by Judge Davis, in the city court,
but in almost every instance these par.
ties, it is said, have taken appeals to
the circuit court and continued to sell
whiskey. The injunction and attach
ment proceedings was decided upon
by Judge Davis as a last resort in his
effort to break up the liquor traffic
in Hattiesburg, and County Attorney
Hall and Deputy Sheriff McGikray
are giving him every possible assist
ance.
