After the fight, which started in the

up at a hospital for several days with
his right ear torn, his scalp cut and
his face badly bruised. Provocations

today were based mainly on the testl-

TNDAYS ELECTION
A TAME AFFAIR

The general election being held to-
day is rather a tame affair, so far as
Forrest counGy is concerned and it is
doubtful if over 90 per cent of the
registered vote will be polled. At
noon 6S votes had been polled at the
court house and 90 at the city hall,
and the managers are having picnic
when their duties are compared to
the men who had it day and night in
August. There is but one element of
uncertainty intering into the election,
and that is the probable strength OF
the Socialists. 1t is predicted in some
quarters that the vote they will poll
is going to surprise some folks, and ii
is fact that there will be no few split
tickets voted in Hattiesburg and else
! where throughout the county.

had to provide this amount by in
creasing the realty and personal as
sessments, which were in many in
stances given far below a reasonable
valuation. This ticklish piece of
work was accomplished and in a most
satisfactory manner, as evidenced by
the LACK of kicking" by the taxpay-
ers; the assessment was raised to SS,

sessment of $363,997, This increase
in the assessment provides $4,36791

ably short of the $4,000 needed, but
the city fathers are confident they can
take care of every obligation by econ
omizing all along the line, and bring
the next fiscal year to a close in as
highly satisfactory manner as the
past one.
