Hundreds OF Fanatics Urged Him

Andrews Says Things.

There are many sincere prohibition
lists. There are others who are 10 the
prohibition racks merely because 1t
affords them an easy way of earning
an easy living. This particularly
applies to those who have 10 recent
years become professional agitators.
The sincere prohibitionist is q man
who sincerely is against the liquor
tratic, either for personal reasons or
for what he believes.to be for the best
for the community, but he is sum-
GENTLY broad to understand, "a ppreciate
and concede that men equally as SIM
cere as himself are inclined to the
opposite belief.
When Secretary Wilson was invited
to address the International Brewers
Association at Chicago recently q
number OF fanatics reached for the
mote Ia the eyes OF their brothers
without removing the beam from
their own eyes and raised a hue and
cry against the common courtesy OF q
national officer appearing before an
international body. Secretary Wilson
very wisely disrcgarded this unwar-
ranted intrusion on his rights, per-
sonally, indidually and officlally, and
appeared before the International
body.

The Starkville News speaks Of
the corporations as fighting Var
daman. Can it name one of
them? On the contrary, every
record and disclosure shows the
friendship and partiality of the
corporations for Major Varda-
man. particularly the railroads,
telegraph companies, telephone
companies. etc. They were al
ways granted him special favors
and privileges, regardless of
state or interstate laws, and
competing for the chance to
serve him. The sworn testimony
of the Vardaman legislators be-
fore the investigating committee
showed that the majors friends,
from BilbO up. were abundantly

SHOOTING AT HATTIESBURG
Keyes Wounds Robinson Who He Dis
covered in His House.

Hattiesburg, May 17.-Return-
ing home at an unexpected hour
last night and finding J. M. Rob-
inson in a room with his wife, A.
E. Keyes, a prominent business
man of this city, fired three shots
from a revolver at Robinson, all
of them taking effect in the lat
ter's left leg and breaking it.
Robinson was formerly a grocery
merchant in this city and a fre-
quent singer in church choirs,
but more recently he has been
singing in moving picture shows.
Because Of the prominence Of
the parties and the fact that both
Robinson and Keyes have fami-
lies, the shooting created a SEN
sation. The sympathy of the
community is with Keyes. who
was Immediately released on $500
bond.
Mrs. Keyes, it is said. was fur
nished money by her husband
and told to leave the city. She
departed on an early morning
train. Keyes will institute di-
vorce proceedings and seek to re-
tain custody of his children.
Robinson is in a hospital but
will recover.

Mrs. Kate Mauldin.

With the passing of the sweet, gen.
tie spirit of Mrs. Kate Mauldin, earth S
loss can never be fathomed.
lust what she was in that home none
save those who had dwelt therein can
know. To the children she was. if such
a thing is possible, more than mother.
She was their companion. their conf
dent, their counselor, their guide.
1t was my privilege to be with her IN
her home two years while the children
were still quite young. She never SEEM
ed to demand obedience, nor did | ever
see her correct them; still they obeyed
her slightest wish or suggestion in such
a sweet, loving way. To them she was
everything lovable, and she was truly
enthroned in their hearts as "queen of
queens.
All that these devoted hands could do
was so cheerfully done for five years to
combat an incurable disease-to allay
all pain. Now that God has eased these
pains and called their mamma home,
it is no wonder that they feel as sheep
without shepherdess.
As friend, she was without price
one always ready to listen, always
ready with words of cheer-their joys
hers, their SORROWS she was ever ready
to share. OF herself such a cheerful
disposition she frightened the lives of
not only her childcen and sister, but
life was made sweeter and brighter for
all with whom she came in contact.
She has gone to join the husband, SO
dearly loved, who passed cover the
river" twenty-eight years ago, where
there is no separation, no pain.
May her wish that they should not
grieve and the knowledge that there
will be happy welcome awaiting each
one there be a comfort to those who
held her 90 dear a FRIEND.

When Bilbo Went to Aberdeen.

BilbO came to town again last
Friday, but there was no process
sion of JOY wagons, no reception
committee, no brass band, no pop
ping of corks from resonant bot
ties, no sounding the hugag or
tumming upou the tomtom, no fat
ted calf, not even a wejner wurst
or pretzel; there were those who
knew him, but they crossed over
the street and "winked the other
eye" as warning to other whilOm
Bilboites that there was some
thing doing worth eschuing. There
were little knots consulting over
the situation here and there and
sending forth scouts in search Of
some man who would Officiate in
the presentation act, and the
scouts returned without comfort
ing reports; the big men of the
tribe fingered in their wigwams,
some were sick, and some were
busy, and some were content with
what Bilboism was already charged
up to their accounts, and the job
went a begging. At last, respon-

HA We 1T WITH YOU.

1t is very reasonable to pre-
sumo in view Of other small po-
litical tricks of the opposition.
that a wholesale attempt in dis
qualifying Of voters is going to
be attempted at the polls in Au-
gust. In fact; this move is i'm
minent even at this early date.
It behooves every voter to go the
polls armed with his tax receipt
for two years if he has them, es-
pecially those who live at a dis
tance and will not have the time
to return home for his papers.
In case the receipts have been
misplaced, it will be we'll to go
to the sheriff and get a dupIi-
cate. Every man must be pre-
pared to meet a challenge. for
the "antis" are desperate. They
are resorting to "deeds that are
dark and tricks that are mean"
for one purpose to defeat Var
daman. -Vardaman's Issue, May
5th.
The charge of Wholesale at
tempt to disqualify voters" is a
pure and a stupid invention-a
mere attempt to raise prejudice
and suspicion toward the election
authorities. 1t is not any trick"
for disqualification Of voters who
have paid their poll taxes that is
ailing Vardaman. His real fear
was betrayed in a previous Issue
squeal, headed, Don't Be Too
Strict in Constituting the Primary
Law" In that article it was
claimed, wholly without warrant
of truth, to have been contem-
plated by the constitution makers
that barriers placed in the way
of the November ballot box might
be removed, and all good patriotic
trustworthy white men allowed
to participate in the primary. -
Presumptively this plea was
made upon realizing that the
loose construction of the poll ta~-
requirements in certain countiesl
which largely swelled Varda-
mans vote Of four years ago,
would not be tolerated in the
pending primary. 1t having
signally failed to impress the
public, or the authorities, there
has been a persistently menda-
cious effort to create prejudice
against the primary and to de-
ceive the public as to the law.
The Issue article is one of a Sc
ries of that sort. - Vicksburg

BEATTY WINS WORLDS REC
Flies With Passenger for Three
Hours and 3S Minutes.

Chicago, Aug, 19. - w. G. Beat
ty in a Wright biplane, beat the
worlds record for duration while
carrying a passenger at the interna-
tlonal aviation meet here to-day.
Beatty and his passenger were in
the air at the opening gun at $50
O'Clock and remained up until 7.0S
p. m, a total of three hours and
thirty-eight minutes. The former
record was made by Amerigo at
Mulhausen, Germany, December II,
1910 when he carried a passenger
three hours, ten minutes and thirty
seven seconds.
While official announcement
from the contest committee were re-
csjved with doubt here, after it
was learned that o. A. Brindley, Of
ficially announced as having flown
11,726 feet, which would have been
worlds record, instead had risen
only 5,76S, there was little doubt
that the Beatty figures were ap-
proxlmately correct, for his perform
ance was watched and timed by
thousands of spectators, and his rec
ord is not subject to the mistakes
possible in so intricate an instru-
ment as the barograph.
Io-day's events were enlivened by
a number of spectacular escapes.
The hydroplane, driven by C. c..
Wilmer, and cruising about over
the lake, approached dangerously
near the yacht Marine and caused
a scare among it's passengers but
passed overhead without injuring
anybody.
The speed contest for biplanes
was taken by Eugene Ely, after a
Q 40
He made the IL miles in 13 minutes
2.2 seconds.
The fastest mile and q third lap
was made by Ely in 1858.
Thomas Sopwith won the 12-
mile race for monoplanes in 49,
1874. Rene Simon given him a
close race in 13.49.4. Sopwith took
the weight carrying event without
competition.

The Southern Pacific has practi-

markable crop movements in it's his
tory in the handling of the crop in
the Imperial Valley. The total num-
Der OF cars shipped to date amounts
TO $500, says the Los Angles

mately 800 care more than was har-
vested in any season before.
There were 56,0O0,000 pounds OF
Ice used in the field and Yuma,
Ariz. to take care of these ship
ments. The biggest days picking
was June IL, when 1873 carloads
were harvested. These cars were
hauled from Brawley, the shipping
centre, to Imperial Junction on the
main line in one train, the length
OF which was 6,175 feet, consider
ably more than a mile long.
There were 324 crates in each
car and As melons to the crate, or
a total number of 1850 melons in
each car, and in the train 1,939,-
lao melons. When one appreciates
the fact that each of these melons

Drought Affects Ginning.

AS the time approaches for ginning
cotton, the owners OF steam gins
all through this section are be-
coming somewhat alarmed due to
the scarcity of water and they are
grave fears expressed if there will
be sufficient water for use in the
steam engines for this purpose.
The wells which have hereto sup
piled the boilers with water have
in most cases already gone dry,
and others are so low, and the sup
ply OF water so small that they
last for very long. The owners of
gins have just awoke to the dilema
in which such conditions will place
them, and they are anxious for
copious rains which will furnish
the needed supply. The steam gin
originally took the place of water
gins will have to Je replaced by the
gasoline engine or some other
means of motive power which could
be used in safety in ginning cotton.
The steam gin were not used to
any great extent when they were
first introduced in this section on
account of the fact that the farm
ers were afraid to fire. They were
found to be comparatively safe how
ever, and they took the placepof old
water driven gins. The water for
making steam being so scarce at
this time, will probably force the
farmers who operate gins to put in
gasoline engines and there are some
who believe that this means of pow
er will be better than steam
driven gins.-Orangeburg News.

early in growth, so that although
the loss has been rather heavy
the past two weeks. the promise is
still good to fair. On the bright
side, it is also worthy of note that,
in many localities, showers have
been numerous.
Except in Texas and South Car
olina, but little cotton picking has
been done and the bolls are open
ing slowly because of the continu-
ed growth of of the plant, due tc
