Mr.. LEES PLANS
ARE ACCEPTED
Work on Erecting the New School
Building Will Probably Start
Within Three Weeks.

Mr.. r. E. Lees plans for the new
Main Street school building to be
erected here have been accepted by
the city commissioners and school
trustees, and Mr.. Lee is now engaged
in drawing up the specifications.
The contract for the edifice will
probably be let during the next three
weeks, and the work will be rushed
to an early completion in order that
school may open in the building next
September.
1t is quite a compliment to Mr. Lee
that his plans were preferred to those
presented by architects in other cities
and those who have seen the plans
declare that the new seat of learning
will be an ornament to the city.

ELLISVILLE ROSE
IN INDIGNATION

Ellisville, Miss, May 10.-The citi-
zens of Ellisville rose up in righteous
indignation yesterday morning when
they found that the Western Union
Telegraph Company was going to
move it's Ellisville office from the cen
ter of town to the railroad station,
basing their action on the claim that
there was insufficient business to war
rant the uptown office.
The Ellisville Business League,
comprising several hundred members
Immediately dispatched kilograms to
the Mississippi Railroad Commission
asking that the matter be taken ur
at once, and the removal of the office
prevented. This was done, Secretary
Maxwell advising the telegraph com
pany to delay their action in the mat
ter until it could be thoroughly in
vestigated

Apparently just to show that she
could come back" Ruth Oaks, deni-
zen extraordinary of Hattiesburg's un-
derworld, drifted back to her old
haunts yesterday afternoon, but was
not allowed to linger long, and is now
languishing behind the bars in cell
in the county jail.
And now it is back to the farm for
Ruth. Whether she has ever heard of
the slogan of the hundreds in the cities
who are seeking health and material
salvation in a rush back to the farm,
may be doubted, just as it may be
questioned, whether she will take kind
ly to the new order of things; but
nilly willy, back to the farm she
goes.
When the officers called yesterday
at the place where this woman was

SANE FOURTH
HURTS BUSINESS
Movement to Separate the Small Boys
From Big Flrecrackers Ruinous to
Manufacturers of Fireworks.

New York, May 1e.-What is termed
the sane Fourth" movement, de-
signed to separate small boys from
big firecrackers, has proved ruinous
to companies engaged in the fireworks
business. The Pain Manufacturing
Company, the largest fireworks con-
Germ in the trade, has asked the SUI
preme court for permission to dissolve
and discontinue business, and a hear
ing on the matter will be held today.
In the application the directors state:
"The season for the business of the
corporation does not begin until June
and runs for several months. The
most business is done around and i'm
mediately prior to July 4. But for the
past few years, since the movement
for what is called "sane Fourth has
spread over the country, the volume
Of business done has been reduced
so that at present the amount the
company is able to do is not suffi
cient to warrant the continuance of
the business under the belief that
the dissolution may be avoided"
The actions that have been brought
against the company to collect dam
ages for injuries and deaths by ex
plosions of fireworks amounts to
fortune. Among them are suits fol
$4,000 by the Sophie Giese estate
for the killing of girl by an unex
pected bomb; Seth Samuel $4,000
for discharged gun at Maahattar
Beach; Henry A. Ashby, $4,000, 10

SENATOR PERCY
SPOKE TO Crowd
Held Close Attention of Richton Audi
ence for Two Hours--Made
Good Impression.

Richton, Miss, May Ex-senator
Percy spoke here yesterday in the in
terest of his candidacy. The Baptist
church building was used for the oc-
casion, the church auditorium being
the only one here large enough to
accommodate the nearly four hundred
people who came from all parts of
the county and from surrounding
counties.
Quite a number came over from
New Augusta, the county seat. A
baseball game played in the afternoon
between the local team and the Ellis
vile team, lent its weight in helping
attract quite delegation from the
Jones county capital. More than the
usual number of travelling men were
in town also; some changed theii
dates in order to be here.
Mr.. Percy began his address at Il
a. m. and spoke for two hours ant
ten minutes. This was his first visi
i to Perry county, and many were cage
to hear him.
! Judging from appearances, Senate
Percy made a splendid impression
fully measuring up to the highest ex
pectations of his friends. He wen
from here to Lucedale, where he will
speak today.

Madero Watches Battle.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 1O.-General
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., leader of the
rebels, observed the progress of the
battle from a distance. He used
powerful pair of field glasses and not
infrequently gave shouts of exultation
at the advancing insurrectos. When
a detachment of insurrectos ran across
the plain in direct fire of the federals
to effect sortie WHICH might draw
the federals from the church which
they held, General Madero became Wis
IDLY excited. He was eager to go to
the front and thrust himself into the
battle, but his staff officers restrained
him.
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., last night
issued a statement explaining the
causes Of the attack on Juarez ana the
conflicting interpretations which nave
been placed on his Leadership He at
tributes the attack to the vague prom
ises of President Diaz in his manifesto
as opposed to the promises OF revolu-
tionists to the Federal Government.

standing committees for the ensuing
year, and requests that without fur
ther notice, the different chairmen
shall call their committees together

The Importance of this committee
work cannot be overestimated, being
fully equal to the responsibility Of
the directors, as each committee will
have work that must be done to carry
out the purposes for which the club is

Ruth Oaks Came Back to
Haunts and Was Arrested

Deputy Sheriff McGilveray and Con-
stables Riley and Tucker returned to
the erstwhile domicile of the afore-
said about midnight last night, and
when the gaily bedecked denizens Of
that God-forsaken quarter reiterated
that Ruth had really betaken herself
to New Orleans, the officers decided
nevertheless and Notwithstanding to
look about a little. The house was
quickly searched. There was the in
evitable locked closet with the usual
excuse of lost key. But this did not
close the deputy sheriff's eyes and be-
ing officially curious, he incidentally
poked the head of an axe through the
door, and found Ruth rather uncom-
fortably ensconced in one corner of
her temporary abode. The recalcitrant
woman was taken to the county jail.
Having promised to. leave the city,
when sentence was suspended some
time ago by Judge Johnson of the Cir
CURT Court on a charge of conducting
house of i'll fame, the woman thus
forfeiting her parole will be remanded
to the county farm for 80 days.
In the refrigerator of the residence
63 quart bottles of beer were fount
and confiscated.
