The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-07-31

Sunday morning met the sheriff and
several deputies and they proceeded to
Perry's hiding place. He was taken
by surprise and offered no resistance
Page seldom left him haunts and it is
understood that his residence in the
hills was known only by few people.
He was identified by a former resident
of Port Gibson, in Claiborne county, as
being the man wanted there for the
triple murders
According to reports, there was at
one time rewards offered for Perry
amounting to $4,000, but they have
all been withdrawn and it is doubtful
if Constable Tucker will receive any
thing for his excellent work in captur-
ing the negro. 1t is probable that Per-
ry enjoyed his liberty longer than any
other escaped criminal in the history
of the state, and Constable Tucker is
to be commended for running him
down and bringing him to justice.
Perry will be held here until sent for
by the sheriff of Claiborne county.

PEACE Negotiations
NOT INTERRUPTED
(Bu Associated PressA

Berlin, July 31.-The return of EN-
peror William to the capital has not
affected the Moroccan negotiations,
contrary to the intimations in the
Paris newspapers that the Emperor
would order changes in Foreign Min
lister Won Kiderlen Waechter's policy.
1t was learned today that Germany
took diplomatic steps regarding the
recent speech of David Lloyd-George,
the British chancellor. The German
government requested and received an
explanation that Great Britain was dis
interested in the situation outside of
Morocco. This attitude was later en-
bodied in Premier Asquith's statement
in the House of Commons. But for
this Misunderstanding, the situation
might have been critical.

CONDITION OF CROP IN EVERY

STAPLE IS OPENING RAPIDLY
Rainfall Producing Rank Growth In
Spots, and Damage by Boil Worms
Rain Needed Along Atlantic Sea-
board and In Western Texas.

Memphis, Tenn, July 31.-Another
week favorable to the cotton plant has
put the crop seven days further toward
maturity. 1t is two to three weeks
earlier than last year, and the pros
pect is better in every single state
than at this time last year.
Complaints are local in character
and are of excessive rainfall producing
rank growth and damage by boil
worms. Boil weevils have done little
damage, although it appears that they
will shortly become factor in Louis
lana. Some rain is needed along the
Atlantic seaboard, and moisture would
be beneficial in Western Texas. Else.

The plant Is very heavily fruited
and has matured an unusual number
of bolls for the season. The crop is
generally laid by and the fields are
as a whole, clean, and the cotton has
attained size that will prevent
growth of weeds and grass hereafter
Many OF the reports received are
brilliant, and over fully two-thirds o.
the cotton area a record yield is in
dicated, II present conditions are main
tanned. Over the remaining third thu
crop is good.
Cotton Is opening rapidly in South
ern Texas and a heavy movement il
forecasted. Elsewhere, although tn,

moisture has retarded the opening o

Challenges at Polls.

Each faction is allowed to have a
challenger at the polls, and adequate
arrangements have been made for this
work. The senatorial candidates have
sent credentials to persons at each
polling precinct for this work, they
will be equipped with lists showing
the qualified voters. Incidentally, they
will keep a careful watch to prevent
white republicans, socialists and 9TH
ers not regularly affiliated with the
democratic party, from voting.
Sealed ballots will doubtless be num-
erous. The law provides that, where
voter has shown on the books to be
disqualified, appears at the polls and
takes oath that he is properly quaH-
fed, has paid all taxes lawfully as
sessed against him, etc., he may de-
posit his ballot In sealed envelope,
and the eligibility of his vote will be
determined by the county executive
committee. The number Of disquali-
fications ordered gives promise that
many will avail themselves of this
privilege. However, the person who
avails himself of this privilege, and is
afterwards conclusively shown to be
disqualified, is liable to Indictment for
perjury.

When they called this year to pay
their taxes their purpose was to pay
in full everything that was due; but
they failed to recall that they had not
paid their polls for 1909, and the tax
collector failed also to remind them
