SEPTEMBER TERM
OF CIRCUIT COURT
JUDGE CARROLL WILL PRESIDE
CIRCUIT COURT WILL CONVENE SECOND
MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER FOR FIRST
TIME SINCE JANUARY

The first term of circuit courf
to be held in this county since last
January will convene here on the
second Monday in September, and
will be presided over by Circuit
Judge Thomas B. Carroll of Stark
vile, and District Attorney Hardin
III. Brooks, Jr. of Macon, and will
be in session for eighteen days.
Mr.. Carroll will no doubt make
a good Judge, as he has been in
the practice of law for the past 80
years. He was at one time a-mem-
ber of the legislature from Oktib-
beha county and made a good rec
ord. He has also had considera-
BILE experience at the bar. Mr..
Carroll is the son of one of the
most prominent men of east Miss
issippi DR.. j. G. Carroll of Stark
vile.
Mr.. Brooks, who comes from
one of the best families of Nox-
ubee county, has been practicing
law for twelve years and stands
well at the bar. We predict that
he will make a good prosecuting
officer. He has had a good deal
of experience in criminal law and
is fair minded and just.
This state has formerly had only
thirteen court districts, but as a
result of an act of the last legisla-
ture it is now divided into seven
teen circuits. Lowndes, Clay,
Noxubee, Oktibbeha and Kemper
counties make up the sixteenth
judicial district. Several changes
have also been made in the time
of holding court. After the COM
ing session another term will be
held in November for civil busi-
ness, when no grand jury will be.
empanneled, as only civil and
criminal cases will be tried.
There is a full docket, especially
of civil cases, for the coming term.
The following is the list:

Mr.. W. B. Jones, the pedes-
trian who is on the last lap of his
10,000-mile trip from Dallas,
Texas, to Nome, Alaska, and re

city the past week on account Of
sickness, left Friday evening at
IL :O5 over the NJ. & o. r. r. in
company with his manager. Mr..
C. Z. Seefeldt, of Dallas, Texas,

Mr.. Seefeldt's father, near
Brooksville. They were accom-
panied by Mr.. Jones' two travel
ing companions, Teddy and
Rover, tri : coIored collies,
that have made the entire trip
from Nome, Alaska, to Colum-

After a few DAYS rest on the
farm he will resarn to West
Point and start on his walking
trip back to Dallas. Mr.. Jones
has until September II to COM
plete his trip, a distance of $50
miles. AS it figures out he will
have to cover about 35 miles a
day the balance of his time,
which is going some, and it is
sincerely hoped that he will not
lose out after he has made
such a plucky stand to win.
Mr.. Jones' trip came about in
a very unusual way. all over
joking remark made by him in
the presence of some bankers,
newspaper men and ranchers at
a banquet given in their honor
at the Menger hotel in San An
tonic, that he could walk a dis
tance of 10, 900 miles in a time
limit of 400 working days. start

tance between the cities of Dal-
las, Texas, and Nome, Alaska,
and return, making the distance
in the time specified and making
all expenses en- route and re-
turning to Dallas in the same
penniless condition in which he
left. After seventeen months to
the day. Mr.. Jones was in Co. |
Iumbus, Friday. August 26, and
expressed himself as being
pleased with his trip as a whole, |
but said that he has passed
experience that he hopes |
that he will not have to encoun- i
ter again.
He said that if he ever got back |
to San Antonio alive he will |
never leave it again not for the I

Hundreds of people enjoyed
hearing Mr.. Jones, who told of /
his trip at the Dixie Theatre Fri

number of slides representing
scenes on his trip were shown.

THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE HAS SERVED
SEVERAL TERMS IN CONGRESS. SIS
SON WINS IN FOURTH DISTRICT.

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 26.-Com-
plete returns from the democratic
primary election in the Fifth con
gressional district OF Mississippi
with the exception of one precinct,
show that Witherspoon of Merid-
ian defeated A. NJ. Byrd of Phila-
delphia for the nomination by a
majority of 366 votes. The miss
ing precinct is Antioch, Lauder
dale county. The list OF voters at
that place is small, and the returns
will not change the result.
The returns show that Wither-
spoon received 1905 and Byrd
6,728 votes in the district, giving
Witherspoon a majority of 1856
The missing precinct in Lauder
dale county will probably Increase
Witherspoon's majority.
Mr.. Byrd, the defeated candi-
date, has served several terms in
and is one Of the ablest
men in Mississippi.
Mr. Witherspoon is one Of the
of the Mississippi bar, and
is well known throughout the
state. The contest just closed was

ROAST De LONG

The Journeyman Barber, the of
ficial national periodical of the Barb
ers' Union of North America, printed
at Indianapolis. Ind, contains this
week an interesting Denver letter in
which many words OF praise are
spoken for the sanitary conditions of
the barber shops of this city. Grand
Junction can boast an unusually large
assortment of up-to-date metropolitan
barber shops and it is doubtful if
there is another city on the western
slope as well equipped in this respect
as the city of Grand Junction.
The writer pays his respects co
to a local politician. The article fol-
lows:
~ wish to say here that the best
conditions prevailed in Grand juno
zion, where the law was assailed
harder than in any other section be-
fore it became a law, on account of
the misrepresentation of Senator
DeLong of that place. Next to Grand
junction We were very highly pleased
with Trinidad. where we were ac-
corded a hearty welcome and found
the conditions fairly good. with the
exception of three shops that we're
not complying with the sanitary con-
ditions of the law. The same three
shops, | might add, We're non-union
shops, the proprietor of one of which
has since taken his own life. We
believe, considering the location of
Trinidad, that it is to be congratulate
ed upon its showing. Regardless of
all other conditions, there is much
that could be said concerning sani-
tary observance all over the state.
The very best town your board has
met with in regard to sanitary OBJ
servance. was, as above stated, Grand
Junction. Every shop in this thriv-
ing little city has either complied
with the law, or had taken such
steps as were necessary TO comply
Immediately. We held a meeting
there on Wednesday night, November
3, and every barber in town was
present except one, and he was i'll and
could not attend. The meeting was
very enthusiastic and several good
| talks We're made, commencing the ac-
tion of your board up to this date. -

COAST PAPERS
PRAISE STANLEY

The Sentinel is in receipt of an
| other communication from William
| Stanley, the San Francisco whirlwind
ana worlds champion indoor runner.
stating that he has heard from Stunt
Z. h. Burton of the Teller Institute
accepting the challenge issued by
Stanley. Enclosed in the letter were
two clippings one from the Tacoma
News and the other from the San
francisco Examiner relative to for
| mer races won by the California lad
In both instances the writer's have
been unstainted in their praise of the
Danish runner and concede him to be
one of the fastest runners alive.
The following is from the Tacoma
News:
William Stanley broke a world S
record running 20 miles indoors at
Seattle yesterday afternoon. Stanley
lost six pounds during the race. but
his enormous appetite enabled him to
put 1t right back again Before he
went to bed last night Stanley got
on the outside of four big square
meals, and this morning when he re-
turned to Tacoma he was again at his
normal weight.
The relay race in which Stanley
was to have run Rinaldo Wilson. Os-
car Glow. Louis Heidinger and
Charles Walter, did not take place.
The house was a poor one and the
two Tacoma runners Wilson and
Glow, refused to go on. Stanley was
bent on making a record for himself
and he ran an exhibition 20-mile race
against time. The time brought in
by the officials was I:54:2S 2-5.
Stanley consumed 81 seconds by leav-
ing the track, and deducting this his
actual running time for the distance
was 1:52:15 y, which clips just 81
seconds off the worlds record.
Three Records.
During the past / s days Stanley
has run three races within record
time. His l0-mile race in this city
was made in 52:14. That was on
December %. On New Years day he
covered 5 miles at the Glide rink in
1:2S:32 4-5, and yesterday he smash
ed a world mark.
Stanley is really entitled TO more
recognition that he has been getting.
