Boyle, the proprietor of the store who stated that he would buy a new wheel for the loser if it could not be returned. Mir. Boyle got trace of the wheel along the beach road somewhere and worked son the case until he found the stolen wheel under the shed which is in the rear of the Wyrtzen grocery store on Spring street. The wheel was taken back to the place from which it was stolenv and later returned to it's owner.

 Five cents spent for a package of Uneeda Biscuit is an invest ment-an invest ment in nourish- ment, in health, in good eating.
 Though the cost is but five cents, Uneeda Biscuit are too good, too nour- ishing, too crisp, to be bought merely as an economy.

WEssON MAKES PROTEST.

A protest from a large number
of Wesson citizens. appeared in the
Times Democrat of yesterday, be-
cause of an injudicious report by a
local correspondent regarding the
political situation at Wesson and
published in the Times-Democrat
of Thursday. The protest shows
that Wesson has very large num-
ber of citizens ready to defend her
interests and that although the
Mills have closed down, they did
not constitute the whole of the
town. The Leader heartily ap-
plauds the sction of the citizens
named, and is pleased to be assured

JOHN ALLEN AGAIN.

Mr Allen is out in another open
letter in answer to DR.. Wards re-
cent communication -criticizing AL
len for his attacks upon Governor
Vardaman.
When Mr.. Aliens first effusion
was published The Leader charac-
terized it as tiresome rehash of
the anti-Vardaman newspaper
ISLANDERS and abuse of Governor
Vardaman. favored with a little
cheap wit and coarse sarcasm.
In Mr.. Aliens second lucubration
he has reiterated the common
ISLANDERS about the contingent fund.
with some derogatory remarks be-
littling DR.. Wards intelligence
and judgment in respect to public
affairs.
Mr.. Aliens bitter personal feel
ings against Governor Vardaman
are thinly veiled by protestation of
his love of justice and his patriotic
motives.
1t is said that only a wise man
profits by experience. If the Hon.
John Allen was wise he would re-
member the lesson of the campaign
of personal attack and criticism
that he made IN his own canvass
against the Hon. A. j. McLaurin
for the United States Senate.
1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Aliens
own personal prestige that he
should. specifically, repeat the ex-
perimentatien of personal abuse in
the present senatorial canvass.

Bilbo Speaks to
l,8O0 at CarroIIton

CafIoiiton. Miss. May | 2. Sem
ator Theo. g. Bilbo, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. spoke to the
citizens of Carroll County at a
picnic gotten up in his behalf and
advertised as a BiIbo picnic, in
Beat 2, of this county. the home of
his opponent. Tandy .. Yewell.
The picnic was held at Dukes
pasture, about ten miles north of
this town. and was the largest
political gathering ever witnessed
in that section of the county. there
being 1900 to 1900 present.
The speaker was conveyed to the
picnic in an automobile furnished
by DeLoach Bros, and, on arrival
at the grounds, was met by a large
crowd and carried on their
shoulders to the speakers stand.
The enthusiasm was unbounded.
Mr.. Bilbo's denunciation of the
secret caucus methods was scathing,
and evoked the commendation of
the crowd as shown by their ap-
plause.
Mr.. Bilbo alluded to the fact
that he had been called pole cat
by Murphy, of the Conservatives.
in face of the fact that he held the
endorsement of 1000 of the posi-
BILE 1900 voters of his home county,
and said that it made little differ.
ence to him what men of Murphy's
class said at long distances, and
that if Mnrphy would 60 to Pearl
River county and make this same
statement, this same pole cat scent
would stink him to death.
Every denunciation of Murphy
and the Conservative was wildly
appIauded. showing that neither
Murphy nor his paper has any in
fiuence in Carroll county.
1t is safe to predict, although
this is the home county of Tandy
YewelI, that BiIbo's majority will
be at least 500 to 600.

Rev. DR.. Meek's letter. published
in the interest of Senator Percy,
was written more than a year ago.
Vital changes take place in less
time than that. 1t may be Percy
has been converted since the caucus
at jackson. for it needed to be re-
pented Of; and then it may be, that

man. DR.. Meek's opinion has gone
a-glimmering since he penned his
approval. Today we are, and to-
morrow we are not.

LEGISLATURE FAILS, UNION
SUCCEEDS.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 29.-Again has
organized labor demonstrated its ability
to get an eight hour day for workers
when legislatures would not or could not
enact eight hour laws.
1t happened in Denver this time, and
the Walters Union assisted by the other
labor organizations has established an
eight hour day for girls that cannot be
declared unconstitutional
Until recently the mattresses employed
in Denver have been working nine hours
day in restaurants operated seven days
a week. Some of them will continue to
work the same number of hours until
they learn the necessity for cooperating
with their fellow workers, but $50 union
girls employed in IL restaurants will
from now on work eight hours day in
seven day houses and nine hours a day
in those operated six days a week
There will be no reduction in wages.
The girls were imbued with the proper
spirit of unionism, and with the assist
ance of their fellow unionists secured
the splendid concessions without resort
ing to a strike. The union men of Den
yer viii all eat in union houses in the
future, and many who are not unionists
will do likewise.

LOS ANGELES PICKET ORDI.
NANCE.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-L. w. Butler
secretary-treasurer of the Central Labor
Council of Los Angeles, Cal, makes the
following report in regard to the work
of the Los Angeles picket ordinance:
"The anti-picketing ordinance passed
by the so-called Good Government ad-
resulted in the arrest of
300 members of organized labor for al
legged violations of the law. The legal
battle has been waging during the entire
term, the results of which are given in
the following cold figures: Arrests,
800; convictions, 5; aequittals, d; dis
agreements, 4; dismissals, 247; cases
pending, 40. This does not include the
80 men arrested on charge of conspir-
acy to violate the picket ordinance. The
jury in this case disagreed, and the
charges against the men were dismissed
after the trial."
