been handling the case before the

best orators in the business, made
very clear and concise statement OF
the case in his general review. He
took up the testimony as used before
the jury that convicted the two men
OF killing Silva. the restaurant keep
er: While there was nothing OF a
startling nature presented yet the
testimony and plea of Mr.. Hilton was
strikingly interesting. His plea was
modified considerably from the fact
that instead Of pardon and res
toration of citizenship, as has hereto
fore been the custom. he asked that
the members OF the Board consider
the advisability OF a parole.
He further stated that owing to
the action OF the late Legislature in
framing a resolution asking the Par
doning board to give the case all
possible consideration, that the peo-
pie of the state had made plea Tor
pardon or parole,
He submitted the portions OF the
evidence read together with other
matters for the Boards consideration
The Board will consider the case in

fine geologist and scholar generally,
besides being a perfect miner.
Mckay, said to Fair: why do
you not go to the bottom OF the
Gould & Curry shaft and Drift north !?
The shaft is 1900 feet deep; a tunnel
north from it would be below all
workings of the Best & Belcher, the

would be in virgin ground, and If
there are any deep ore bodies on the

High Water
on the Walker

During the high water of last week
the wagon bridge across the Walker
River at Schurz came near going out.
To save it the people cut a trench
across the approach to the bridge
and let the river run around it. This
approach can easily be filled in again
at slight expense, but to build a new
bridge would have cost several thou
sand dollars. The travelling public
was somewhat inconvenienced as it
had to use the railroad bridge to
cross the stream.-Lyon Co. Times

that is new in this section. Germany

logical survey has reported that the
indications are favorable for this pro-
duct in Railroad valley, which lies
east of here and in this county. The

The Estimate of Senator Leroy Percy
by an Eminent MiDister OF
The Gospel.

10 the Editor of The Hattiesburg
News:
In view of the many false charges
that have been brought against Sena-
tor Leroy Percy, especially in regard
to his attitude on prohibition, | re-
specially request you to publish the
following letter from Rev. r. A. Meek,
formerly presiding elder of the M. E.
Church, South, at Greenville, Miss,
and who is now editor of the New
Orleans Christian Advocate, one of
the leading organs of that denomina-
ton. Rev. Meek, although at present
living out of the state, is native
Mississippian, having been born and
reared In Carroll county. No one has
ever doubted Senator Percy's great
ability and all agree that his record
in the U. s. Senate is unequaled by
the record of any new senator for the
same length of time. I believe it
would be unwise to swap horses in
the middle of the creek" and think
that Senator Percy ought to be re-
turned to complete the great career
he. has begun at Washington. The
following letter is self explanatory:

Before casting your ballot for a

S. Hall, who is a candidate for District
Attorney. | feel that Mr.. Hall is en-
titled to election to this office and
believe his election is demanded by
the best interests and needs of the
District.
l say he is entitled to the election
We remember the exigency which
arose from the lamentable illness of
Hon. D. G. McLaurin, our then Dis
trict Attorney. Some efficient man
was needed upon whom his mantle
might fall Those who were charged
with the duty of temporarily filling
the office, called Mr.. Hall to its SER
vice. He accepted. more than year
ago, leaving large and lucartive pri-
vate practice Much of that time. he
has served without compensation. pre-
ferring that his sick friend McLaurin
should have the salary. He has held
the position faithfully. Just long
enough to disorganize and ,aree'y lose
his private practice. Is it fair to him,

clear our criminal court dockets and
TO save our counties many hundreds
of dollars. In our own county. our
last Circuit Court had cleared the
criminal docket two entire weeks be-
fore the expiration of the period al
lotted by law. Do you realize that
saving a day of Court, means just one
hundred dollars to the taxpayers?
Those who know Mr.. Hall personally
or professionally, realize that he is a
lawyer of unlimited shrewdness and
ability. He has, for many years. en-
joyed large criminal practice. He
has been forced to become wise in
the tricks of counsel for the defense
and in the ruses and subterfuges Of
the criminal. He is a good Judge and
student Of human nature. He knows
instinctively whether a witness is
truthful and ingenious or perjured
and evasive. He concentrates all his
ability and experience in melting out
justice to the accused.
Regarding Mr.. Hall as a man and
as a lawyer, what reason have you,
If you do not express your apprecia-
ton Of his efficient service and splen-
did ability by his election?
