New Orleans, La, G. J. Disimone, a
saloon keeper at Olive and Short
streets was arraigned in the juvenile
court Monday morning charged with
selling cents worth of whiskey to a
11-year-old boy named Charley Grif-
fin. living at 1915 Carrollton avenue.
Dissimone pleaded not guilty and was
released on bond of $3.50.
The boy made a statement to the
effect that he had been sent for the
whiskey by his mother. Dissimone
seemed to be under the impression.
that as the whiskey was not intended
for the boy that he had violated no
law.
This fact, however, does not lessen
the offense, as the law stipulates that
whiskey shall not be sold to minors,
under any condition. The boy was ap-
pretended by Officer Fisher after he
had made the purchase and was run
ming to his home.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURES
WILL Be A FEATURE
or The Exposition of Southern Re-
sources to be Held in Cincinnati
Next September.-Photographs Will
Be Forwarded as Requested.

An indication of the advantage to
this section of the Exposition of
Southern Resources, to be held in Gin
cinnati in September, is given in a
letter which has just been received
by Mr.. H. A. Camp, director of the
Mississippi Land Improvement Asso-
citation.
The letter is from F. B. Davidson,
director general of the Ohio Valley
| Exposition, and advises that one of
the features of the event will be daily
lectures on the industries and the ad-
vantages of soil and climate of the
various sections Of the south. These
lectures will be illustrated with stere-
opticon views reproduced from actual
photographs obtained in the different
sections of country which are repre-
sented by exhibits at the exposition.
That this exposition will have
wider scope of influence than has been
calculated upon is indicated by the
following extracts, copied from the
letter to Mr.. Camp:
"The Ohio Valley Exposition is pre-
pairing series of free educational lee
lures covering Industrial and CONNER
cial features pertaining to the Ohio
Valley and the South. These lectures
will be interspersed with musical re-
citals and will be given In two distinct
biograph rooms to be located in ex-
hibit buildings.
The lectures will have added force
and value If We are able to amplify
the same by means of stereopticon |
pictures. Because of this fact, am
taking the liberty of requesting that
your organization supply this office |
with pictures thoroughly annotated in
on the back thereof, in
order that We may have the stereopti-
con slides made, and colored If de-
slider, and the same incorporated with
reference to their application to your
city or territory, in the lectures now
being compiled"

mediate attention be given the matter

POSSE PURSUES NEGRO
SHOOTER in WOODS
Special to The NeaDs.

Special to The NeaDs.
Vicksburg, Miss, July 26.-Pursued
by posse of citizens and officers in
the woods somewhere south of Cedars.
Miss, is Cliff Bowman, a negro, who
on Sunday night shot and probably IA
tally wounded Cleveland Robinson, a
prominent white man of Cedars, which
is about ten miles south of this city.
Feeling is very strong against Bow
man, not only on account of the shoot
ing, but because Robinson is broth
er-in-law of Mrs. John Robinson, up-
on whom an unsuccessful attempt at
assault was recently made by a negro,
and it is probable that if Bowman is
caught there will be a lynching bee at
his expense.

while DR.. Dill is conceded a very lib

does not warrant such belief. The

opinion that a second primary will be
necessary to determine the result.
For Commissioner.
The race for commissionership is a
most interesting and highly compli-
Gated affair. Twenty candidates are
contending for these offices, and as
only two are to be elected, it is safe
to say that there will be no nomina-
