SUGGESTIONS
  ( ' : Y t f {. q . tt F$

Editor Graphic:--As citizen of Jefferson county, and having the in terests of the public at heart I wish to express my views on the Free Bridge matter. As I understand it, the act authorizes bond issue of $1.000,0O0 for thirty years, 6 per cent The. interest on this will be $1,S00,- 900 at simple, which will foot up a grand total of $2,S00,O00 As the as. sessed valuation of the real estate of the county is but little over $S,- O00,000 it will be seen that the pro- posed bond issue will amount to more than one third of the assessment valuation.
 We have no right to bond the com. ing generation. Bonds have proven a curse to the world. Therefore 1 am unutterably opposed to bond is- sues under all circumstances. Jef- ferson county has made out without a bridge since it's formation. If we cannot continue to wait until suffi- cient fund can be saved up from rea- sonable taxation to build bridge for cash it proves that to issue bonds to get money would ruin the county, be- cause it would finally cost three times as much to build by bond issue. Per- haps the promoters don't care so much about the bridge as they do for automobile roads.
 Yours resp't.

BREATHE FRESH AIR
 IN PINE BLUFF
damned Mass of Humanity in Little Rock Makes Situation Most Un'
 comfortable During Reunion,

Because they Were unable to get rooms and to get out of the awful crush that they experienced at Little Rock all day yesterday many Reun- ion visitors arrived here last night and crowded the local hotels, clamor- ing for rooms and rest. They re- ported that Little Rocks streets were damned to suffocation, that it was impossible to get around with any satisfaction and that in Union Station the crush was simply awful.
 One man, MT. Dante, from Grady, who arrived here last night on the Pine Bluff special, declared that he went to Union Station at 7:3O to catch the S:45 p. m. train for home. He got into the crowd in an effort to get to one of the gates and was held there for more than two hours, missing his train and finally being forced to take the Pine Bluff special at $50 p. m., when he came here and spent the night
 Others reported similar experiences It is said that the situation will be even worse today, as thousands and thousands of visitors are being brought into the capital every hour TOT todays features. Ladies are helpless in the crowd said one of the men who breathed easier in the Jefferson Hotel lobby at midnight last night, land men are unable to help Or help themselves You just have to wait until you move up to your gate. eOn the streets up town it is the same thing. The crowds coming into the station get wedged in between the crowds that want to get out to catch trains. The police seem to have no control over the crowd. It simply runs away with them and wedges them in too. The arrangement at Union Station is very bad. The police instead of making the incoming travellers wait until the outgoing ones pass, permit them to move in all directions and the con- gestion results. At g o'clock last night there were from three to four thousand people in Union Station trying to make their way in and out of it. I don't know what they will do with that awful crush today

$1.0OO,O0O SPENT
 AT LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, May 17.-One of the Reunion features has been the excel lent street car service given by the Little Rock street car company. This
 company has had every car it pos sesses in service for "A hours day,
 and whil e every car was crowded on
 each trip, the people were moved
 without difficulty, considering the density of the mob. The car con-
 pany work hand in hand with the
 lodging comimttees and the visitors
 were mostly given rooms outside the business section, so that the visitors
 boarded the cars in the morning, when starting for town, before they were crowded. Those who stayed close in were then not inconvenienced if they had to walk a short distance. The car company also placed the majority of the cars on the run from Camp Shaver to the depots, thus giv- ing the Veterans preference, and very few of the old men had to walk. The banks of the city are now over running with Reunion money, it be- ing estimated that fully $1,000,000 was left in the city. The only mistake
 made in the whole Ruenion was committed by the banks, which failed
 to secure an extra supply of small change, and for the first two days of the Reunion there was decided shortage of small change.

Alderman Rudolph Wolff, of the Fourth ward. kept his promise to the City Beautiful Club and the members of that organization have him to thank for the adoption of the ordin- ance authorizing the city engineer to employ five white wings to be kept at work permanently on the paved streets to keep them clean. Now the citizens should cooperate with the city and aid it in keeping the downtown streets free of waste paper and filth.

WOULD BUY
 100000 BALES New Orleans Cotton Factor Bids Market Price and
 One Eighth More
BID OPEN ALL DAY
Hayne Carrying on the Bull, Cam paign Alone During Illness of
 w. F. Brown.

New Orleans, May 17.-Franklyn Hayne, a local cotton factor, today bid the market price for 100000 bales each of May and July cotton, and by bidding one-eighth over the cotton ex- change quotations for any Or all the spot cotton in the city.
 MT. Hayne shouted out to tho mem bers who had hurried to the ring that this last bid was open all day. More over he announced his willingness to accept any grade from low ordinary to fair. The market was thrown into much excitement by MT. Hayne's S heavy bidding. Leaders on the bear side quickly reached the ring, but they showed no eagerness to pick LID the gauntlet thrown down by the bull leader. One house gave him little cotton and MT. Hayne requested more of May. Since this is now spot month it was equivalent to a spot transaction. The price was 15.66 pr about points over he price of mid ding spots on the exchanges yester- day. Twenty-two points means $1.1O in money a bale.
 Mr. Hayne calls for this amount more for spots than yesterday. The market opened very quiet at an ad- vance of 1 to points on indifferent cables. Weather reports and the map were more favorable than ex- pected, and the market would have sagged off likewise after call, but for the support from MT. Hayne.
 Scalpers were feeding out short cotton when Hayne stepped to the ring
 May had traded at 1866 and July at 1886. Hayne waved his arms wild ly above his head, and in the power full voice he possessed, shouted out that 'he wanted to buy 10000 May at 1866. He then made the bid of Ao'Oo M eS IlhO cllAOuAI Ol uly. suddenly increased his bids to 5O.0OO bales, then to 100000 bales and then announced his willingness to take all the May and July cotton the market had for sale the price on the b,ardk quoted.
 At this moment 800 bales of May were handed him by a tired bear This was appar ently all the ammuni- ton the short side had for sale. It was all the cotton that went in Haynes direction. Then followed the bid of an eight over quotations for all the spots in the city. This was one of the most remarkable bids ever made in this cotton market.
 The health of W. P Brown, who has always until few months ago been a leader on the ''bull" side, con- tinues poorly, and Hayne Is practi- oally carrying on the bull campaign in the market single and alone. He is the acknowledged master of the spot situation in New Orleans.

The New Orleans States On Bilbo.

The following editorial from the New Orleans States should
be read from one end of the State to the other:
"We do not wish to appear as meddling in the political
affairs of a sister state, but we cannot help expressing the
opinion that the election of such a man as Bilbo to the lieu
tenant governors office, with the probability that the accident
of death might elevate him to the sovernorship would be a
calamity to Mississippi.
eff Mr.. Bilho made use of the language attributed to him
in his recent Blue Mountain speech, and it seems he did, he is
not entitled to any sympathy for the awful thrashin& he re-
ceiyed at the hands of the man whose mothers honor and
chastity was so horribly assaiIed. The language as set forth in
the report is SO unutterably vile and insulting that the wonder
is that BiIbo was not shot to death. Nothing like it has ever
been heard before anywhere or in any political campaign on
earth, and it wrote down the man guilty of its use as an un-
speakabIe wretch who should be barred from all association
with decent people.
"The idea of honoring such a man with a high public Office
is preposterous, and the good people of Mississippi owe to
themselves and their own Retrospect to bury Bilbo in the OBJ
security and the disgrace he merits and forget him for all time.
1t is idle for his friends to claim that he was provoked by the
scurrilous circulars published by Henry. because no provoca-
ton could justify the filthy character of the attack he made on
the innocent mother of the man who offended him."
The Tupelo journal., 1911-07-14
SENATOR PERCY WILL BE EN-
DORSED.

Evidence accumulates to prove, beyond
peradventure, that Senator Leroy Percy
will be selected as his own successor.
At the Percy headquarters, in Jackson, a
tremendous amount Of work is being
done and letters from every section of
the state, as well as personal callers,
show the steady gains for Senator Percy
in all quarters. Every mail contains
scores of letters confidently predicting a
great Percy victory in the primary OF
August 1st. Whatever may be said to
the contrary, by those who do not know,
Senator Percy will carry his home corn-
ty-Washington-by at least one .hou-
ant majority. The people who Know
him best love him most, while the peo-
pie of the entire state have learned to
recognize his towering ability,
ing integrity, true courage and real
manhood. His record in the senate is a
brilliant one and has not been challenged
by his opponents; he gave up his lucra-
tive law practice to enter the senate Tor
a half term-three years-and has mace
a record that is "the. pride of his lend
and the despair of his enemies" and the
Democrats Of Mississippi will endorse
that record.
The Percy headquarters have given
out no figures on the result, preferrine
to wait until the accurate figures n;ay
be given, but, on reports, reliable, now
1t hand, it is certain that Senator Percy,
will be one of the two in the second
primary with = big vote.

claim to being more than human it is
unnecessary for me now to say what
my intentions and purpose in reference
to Bilbo were at that time. Shortly
afterward, however, upon consulting
with personal friends at Starkville, upon
their insistence, / agreed with them to
take no action in the matter until they
could have Mr.. Bilbo interviewed by a
mutual friend in an effort toward an
amicable adjustment. A friend OF mine,
who was a friend and former college
mate of Bilbo, was sent to him by my
friends after several days search this
mutual friend succeeded in finding Bilbo
and having an interview with him.
This friend asked Bilbo if he would re-
tract the language used about my family.
This he refused to do. AT a somewhat
later date, through reliable gentlemen ar
New Albany, | was informed that Bilbo
admitted having used the language re-
ferred to about me and for the edifica-
ton of his admirers he repeated that
language on the streets of New Albany.
In the meantime | was informed through
the press and by parties who heard
him that Bilbo stated or various occa-
sions that he always went doubly filled
with the truth and two-shooters and
is also commonly known through the
press and otherwise, he at all times had
at least one travelling companion, Mr..
Ross Collins, which party was only a
few seats from him on the train at
Starkville on the 9th. | did not meet
BiIbo after the Blue Mountain incident
until last Tuesday morning, the partic-
ulars of the encounter as given in the
Starkville dispatch of the Commercial
Appeal of July 18th are in the main cor
rect. I did not, as reported from other,
sources, hit Bilbo with the butt Of my
pistol. l did not mean to kill Bilbo.
nor did | try to kill him. He was not
unconscious at any time during the en-
counter, nor was he unconscious when |
left him, as can be reliably established
by reliable witnesses.

What Bilbo Said.
STATEMENT OF HON. J. J. HENRI
A Plain Recital of Facts in the Henry
Bilgo Difficulty.

Starkville, Miss, July S.-Hon. J. j.
Henry. on being requested for a state
ment relative to his encounter with
Bilbo and the cause that led up to 1t,
said. 1T was purely a personal affair,
and has been regrettable to mi since its
in~cipiency in Bilbo's insulting language
relative to me and my family in the
spring. which language no s~elf-respecting
man could fail to resent. As far as |
know, the matter is terminated, 1t has
TO political bearing and do not care to
discuss it. When asked if there had been
anv personal difficulty between him and
BiIbo prior to the Blue Mountain speech,
Mr.. Henry said none that he knew OF.
.Probably | had seen him in Jackson, but
was not personally acquainted with him,
and except from subsequent description
of him hardly knew him OF sight. Upon
being informed of the language used
about me at Blue Mountain at once
t~elephoned Mr.. T. c. Lowrey, secretary
of Blue Mountain College, and presi-
dent of the Bank of Blue Mountain, re-
ouesting the facts and he replied by let
ter as follows:
"Blue Mountain, Miss, April 10, 1911.
"Mr. J. j. Henry, New Albany, Miss.
"Dear Sir-I have your request by
phone. While I did not enjoy the abuse
of you, l know you only Slightly, and
nv voice was raised much more in de-
tense of decency and the women OF my
town than in your defense. Bilbo gave
no one credit for the language he used,
but a Mr.. Collins, a candidate for attor-
.ney general, who was with him, told
me. that he had given the language to
Mr.. Bilbo that morning, and expressed
surprise at Bilbo's using it in his speech.
He said that it was a quotation from
MI. Brann, of ~Iconoclast fame. He said
you were a cross between a hyena and,
think, a mongrel, begotten in a niger
graveyard, sucked by = sow and edu-
Gated by a fool. l am sorry that can
not give you language definitely, but the
above is as much as I would like to say
in trying to quote it to you.
"Yours very truly,
tSigned.) ST. C. LOWREY."
This statement as to Bilbo's language
used about me was also confirmed by
other reliable sources. Az | lay no
