Big tent SHOW
HERE NEXT WEEK
Large Attendance At GuIfport-Far
From Being MeIodrama and
Gun Play.

TheGulfport Record says of the Bur-
rows and Leslie big Jesse James"
show coming to Hattiesburg for all of
next week:
"The Burrows and Leslie Big Show
Company presented "Jesse James" in
their big tent last night to one of the
largest audiences Gulfport has ever
given to a show of this kind. The
entertainment was Of the western or
der, but was far from being all melo-
drama and gun play as the version
of Jesse James presented by the Bur
rows and Leslie Co., contains abun-
dance of comedy situations, pleasing
ly, intermingled with the dramatic
climaxes which kept the interest of
the audience centered on the stage
from beginning to finish.
Contrary to the expectations of a
great many people the play Jesse
James teaches a great moral lesson
and anyone seeing the version pre-
scented by Burrows and Leslie Com
pany would lose all desire to follow
in the footsteps of Jesse James. The
big audience seemed to understand
that they were to have a good show
and encored every opportunity from
the beginning to the fall of the cur
tain on the last act. Miss Leona Les
lie as Liza and Vine Martin as Lige,
the two negro servants who remained
\ loyal to the James family through all
their tribulations, kept the big audi
ence in roars of laughter all the time
they were on the stage.
'The interior arrangements of the
big tent were much heater and cleaner
than the average tent shows, and the
tent was well supplied with scenery
and we'll lighted. The tent was
warmed with charcoal heaters and was
as comfortable as any opera house.
Separate entrances were main
tanned for white and colored people
and the best of order prevailed. The
tent was a huge one and although we'll
supplied with seats was taxed to its
capacity. Burrows and Leslie have a
good show and can always be sure OF
a large audience whenever they play
Gulfport."

On Side of People.
When in the legislature, according
to Mr.. Hebron, Mr.. Vardaman was al
ways active on the side of the people,
and as speaker of the house he
made statewide reputation for his
ability and absolute fairness.
Mr.. Vardaman's life as editor of the
Greenwood Commonwealth was re-
ferred to, and the part he played in
moulding public opinion along right
lines. He was one of the first editors
in the state" said the speaker, ito re-
fuse to run whiskey advertising in his
paper, and he wrote strong editorials
imploTing the legislature to vote down
iniquitous railroad legislation that was
pending in the legislature "In the
meantime" said Mr.. Hebron, the
Caucus Twins-AleXander and Percy
were engaged in amassing fortunes,
caring nothing for the rights of the
people"
He told the story of Mr.. Vardaman
raising a company to carry to the
Spanish American war. and how
he was not permitted to lead the COM
pany on account of not coming up to
the physical requirements of the gov
eminent, but said that such would
have been waived had not a political
enemy refused to make the recommen-
dation. Not to be daunted, however,
Vardaman organized company
of immunes and went to Gu
ba as captain of it, to be
elected major later. On deciding
to enter the race for governor, he ad-
vised his men that he proposed to re-
turn to this country, but on their beg
ging him to stay with them, he did I'M
til the close of the war. On getting
home he entered the gubernatorial
race when the campaign had almost
closed and only had time to visit
twelve counties, eleven of which gave
him a majority for governor.
In 1908, he again ran for governor
and his administration was char
aeterized by less lawlessness than the

disruption of the Democratic party in
the state. He said that the reason
that Senator Percy and Mr.. Alexander
are so anxious to meet Mr.. Vardaman
is that they are tired of speaking to
court day audiences altogether, de-
claring that they are not given decent
crowds anywhere they go. Another
reason, he said, is that they want to
make Mr.. Vardaman mad and provoke
him to say something that they can
use against him.
The speaker also had something to
say about the subsidized press being
anxious to have something to write
of an unfavorable nature about him,
as they had exhausted the pass story
and the opposition was anxious to drop

Respects to Senator Percy.

The caucus in which Senator Percy
most ubiquitous in the politics of the
world
He said that he was opposed to Mr..
Percy because he has been a servant
of corporations since manhood and
used passes over the railroads, for
which he is censuring Mr.. Vardaman,
up to the time he entered the race
for United States senator. He de-
clared that Mr.. Percy has always been
lined up with the whiskey forces and
that he was employed by theEaloon
men in Washington county to use his
influence with the board of supervisors
in persuading them not to call an cleo
ton in that county, submitting the sale
of whiskey in that county to vote
of the people. He was also censured
for bringing into the state low class
of italian immigrants to take the
places of white men on farms which
he owns or is interested.
The declaration was also made that
Percy had never had a pulsaton of
the heart in sympathy with the people,
and that no such man has any bust
ness in the United States senate.
About Mr.. Alexander.
Speaking of Mr.. Alexander, he said
that he was offered a salary of $500
a year to represent the Mississippi
Central railroad, but that he declined
the offer, asking for $4,000. He de-
clared that Mr.. Alexander is glad of
all the corporation practice that he
can get and that his law card appears
in magazine published in the inter-
est of lawyers, advertising for such
practice. Referring to his declara-
tions in favor of an income tax, he said
that he was not sincere.
