The Coming Of Mr.. Fox.

The past week has been a very i'm.
portant one for the future OF the port
OF Pascagoula. In one particular
manner II proved important In the
coming OF Hon. John A. Fox, special
director for the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, who addressed sew.
cral hundred residents at the court
house on last Friday evening This
address was In the nature OF cam
paign Of education for the people OF
the port, very few OF whom, apparent
ly, really understood the workings OF
the great waterways organization.
Mr.. Fox told briefly and conciscly
exactly what the organization Is and
how IL assists In securing appropria-
tions for every part OF the great
country. lie told how the old polite
nj pork barrel" has been discontinue
ed, as a result OF this organization's
work, and an annual rivers and har'
bors appropriation bill secured, and Of
the increase Of this appropriation Of
from si9,00c,00o every three years to a
bill! amounting TO al, 100000, and ap
propriations being made annually.
Following the address by Mr.. Fox a
committee Of residents Of the port
territory was appointed to work 10
conjunction with him among the bus.
mess and professional men and the
great industries OF the port. This
committee has not completed Its lab
ors, 1t Is understood, but one snb-divi
sion Of IL succeeded In raising sevcra
hundred dollars TO assist the congress
10 carrying on Its campaigns. II Il
believed that the amount already OBJ
tained will be practically doubled
when the entire committee reports.
