JNO. SHARP WILLIAMS
GIVES BOYS GOOD
ADVICE.

Responding to the request of the
Southern Farm Gazette for few words
of advice to the boys of the South,
United States Senator John Sharp
Williams gives the following:
"My word to the farm boy of the
South would be that the three elements
of success are Industry, Perseverance.
Intelligence Industry without int elli-
gence does not win; intelligence with
out industry does not win, and the
two together must be coupled with per-
severance to this must be added
that degree of honesty in dealing with
ones neighbors that makes friends for
life
"The movement back to the farm is
no longer a mere doctrine. 1t is actu-
ally taking place, and it is taking place
amongst the most intelligent of the
Southern boys. They are beginning
to learn that in climate that is almost
perfect for agricultural production, an
acre of land with intelligent manage
ment, good seed, deep preparation,
careful planting. thorough and fre-

PERCY WILL
RESIGN.

Although large section OF the anti
Vardaman press, and many personal
friends and political supporters, have
urged United States Senator Leroy
Percy to reconsider his determination
to resign in January, nothing has de-
veloped to indicate that he will change
his mind on the subject.
Senator Percy is now in Europe, ac-
companied by his wife. They sailed
from New York shortly following the
adjournment of Congress, and will re-
main abroad until the latter part De-
cember. Until he returns home it will
be impossible to learn anything autho-
ritative concerning his plans, and, after
he gets back it may then be several
weeks before it can be ascertained
whether he will yield to the pressure.
Those who are closest to Senator
Percy express grave doubt as to the
probability of reconsideration. He
did not announce his decision to re-
sign without mature consideration, and
consultation with a Dumber of his ad-
visers in whose judgment he has much
confidence.
Aside from the political aspects of
the case, it can be stated with autho-
rity that Senator Percy has never been
enamored with his position in public
life. He entered the legislative caucus
of 1910 with decided reluctance, hay
ing been brought into the race by his
friends and without his knowledge, and
they had him fully into the running
before he was aware that vacancy
was to be filled. He could not then
retire without embarrassment to his
friends.
From whatever angle viewed, there
is little reason to believe that Senator
Percy intends to remain in the Senate
after the 1st of January. The politi-
cal whirligig, of course, occasionally
pulls off some queer stunts, and there
may be developments that will cause
him to change his mind, but at pres
ent there is nothing to justify such
belief.

HANCOCK co. MAKING RAPID STRIDES


Hon. F. C. Bordages, ST., was busi-
ness visitor to Biloxi on Tuesday, and
while, there was interviewed y a re-
porter of the Biloxi Herald. That paper
says:
Hon. F. G. Bordages, prominent
citizen of Bay st. Louis, was among
the visitors who viewed the big demon
stration of the Biloxi firemen last Tues
day. Mr.. Bordages was much i'm
pressed with the spirit If unity mani
tested by the people of Biloxi and by
the intense enthusiasm which reigned.
sour end of the Coast is making
great strides forward" said Mr.. Bor-
dages. "We have completed several
hundred feet of re-enforced concrete
sea wall, and it is probable that the
idea of bulk-headlng the beach will be
generally adopted before long. Bay st.
Louis is the ideal spot on the Coast for
summer resort. On account OF its
proximity to New Orleans we get many
summer visitors from that point. Our
beach driveway is one of our greatest
assets, and we might as we'll make up
our minds to build bulk-heads and put
and keep our driveway in perfect shape
for that is what we have, eventually, got
to do.
"But the greatest evidence of pros
perity and advancement IN Hancock
county is, think, the road work going
on. There is, as you know, road
way which is splendid for automobilists
from New Orleans to Chef Menteur.
There is another from Bay st. Louis to
Pearlington. There are only eleven
miles to be spanned from Pearlington
to Chef Menteur to complete the road
way from New Orleans to Bay st.
Louis. Then 1T would be an easy mat
ter to get from Bay st. Louis to the
other towns on the Coast, and it is only
going to be short time when there
will be uninterrupted connection from
New Orleans to Mobile, an era to which
all who have the interests of the Gulf
Coast at heart have long looked for

DEATH OF ANATHAlEL FAYARD.
Well-Known Bay St. Louis Resident Breashe'
His Last at the Family Home On
Thursday Msrning.

AFTER an illness extending over a
period Of quite long time, Anathaiel
Fayard died at the family home, in
Goodchildren street, Thursday morn
ing, at 10 o'clock, death resulting from
a complication of diseases.
The deceased was a native of Bay
ST. Louis, son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Fayard, well-known residents.
He was engaged in the building and
contracting business, and by diligence
he had accumulated sufficiency to live
in comfortable circumstances. He is
survived by his wife and one child.
The interment took place at Cedar
Rest Cemetery on Friday afternoon,
Rev. Father Irwin officiating, and who
attended the sick bed during the dying
moments.
The funeral was largely attended,
attesting to the esteem in which the
deceased was held. The surviving
family have the sympathy of large
circle of friends and acquaintances and
of the community in general.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS VIEWED AT CLOSE
RANGE BY HOMER DAVENPORT.

Homer Davenport. famous cartoonist,
has drawn several sketches of Mississippi
the following characteristic pen picture,
"The United States Senate has seen
in the past many characters, yet likely
never one stamped with more origi-
nality and brains than Senator "John
Sharp. He is truly sharp, and his
sharpness even has wiry edge. With
a sort of bath towel woven summer
suit, which ne dons in very hot weather,
he looks, indeed, a fit representative
of the plain people. Williams is blessed
with the calmness exhibited in his
tone of voice, manner of speech and
stride. He appears the living exam
pie of balance and harmony.
"Of late years, he is turned silvery
about the head, and his girth has ex-
banded till he seems at all times well
fed. But with his years John Sharp
Williams has grown even sharper, till
he should be known now as John
Sharper Williams, and the day is not
far off when it will be correct to refer
to him as Jonn Sharpest Williams.
One feels as he hears Williams speak
ing in his best whining inquiring man
ner how pleasant it must be to be so
easy in all kinds of weather on the
floor of the Senate. His nasal twang
suggests Mark Twain, as does his WE'LL
spaped head and even his sarcasm with
its peculiar strength and simple ten
derness.
"Williams is doomed to be the leader
of the Democrats in the Senate, yet
such certain doom does not in the least
affect him. His method of speech is
that used between farmers, exchanged
over the line fence. Thus to Senators
who purposely affect double chins and a
falsetto voice he must be shocking. 1t
does lack that element of oratory that
YOU instinctively feel when you think
of Daniel Webster or Colonel Baker.
Yet it is modern oratory when he leans

TlDINGS FROM HAcHITA, NEW MEXICO.


Mr.. Chas. l.. Hopkins, of this place,
president of Lanumex Mining Co., of
Hachita, New Mexico, has been spend
ing part of the summer in that part of
of the country looking after his mining
interests. Under recent date he writes
The Echo Interestingly, as follows:
"Some of my friends and myself Or
ganized the Lanumex Mining Co. of
Hachita, New Mexico, to look for silver.
We located at the Northern end of the
Little Hatchet Mountains at an eleva-
ton of about one mile above sea level.
Our main shaft, at 80 feet down, struck
a very rich body of silver and lead ore
about three feet wide, and on another
claim, "Sunny JIM. we struck the
same vein, and at ihe "Lone Wolf"
claim, 5000 feet east of the main shaft,
at depth of % feet, we hit upon rich
silver Vein about three feet wide. All
of this seems to be a continuation of
the same vein.
"We have good pumping plant and
take care of all water easily. At the
main shaft we have a fine hoist that at
tends to all rock and ore from the shaft.
"There seems to be no question as to
our having struck it rich. In fact, we
| could sell out at loo per cent profit, but
we intend to put up concentrating ma
chinery at once and operate all our
properties. Here it is cool during the
day and cold at night. Plenty of rain
this year, which is unusual. Anything
| will grow here, if irrigated. There are
centipedes, scorpions, tarantulas and
rattlesnakes, but we hear of no one be-
ing bitten by them; in fact, people
don't notice them.
"The scenery is grand; mountains
everywhere. We can see some one
hundred miles away. An object four
miles distant looks only one mile away.
The air is dry and pure and remarkably
bracing. Fruit ripens and simply dries
up; it does not spoil. Labor is plenti-
full at fair prices; everything else is
dear.
"Later, if you are interested, win
write more about this section. Like all
countries, it has its charms"

TIDINcs FROM FAR BRITISH COLUMBIA


A few weeks since The Echo had the
pleasure of publishing an interesting
| excerpt from a letter from Bay St
Louis resident visiting at Hamilton
Canada. This week we publish another
extract from personal letter from an
other Bay st. Louis resident. who has
been spending the summer at Van
Couvers, British Columbia. Mrs. Cecil
Marion Blakemore writes interestingly
as follows:
This is a grand, up-to-date, substan-
tial and rich city. Banks, capitalized
at from to 25 millions; on every side
buildings and roadways are being built;
there are also magnificent drives. The
park here, OF 7 miles of beautiful drives,
is a grandiose work of nature. In COM
parison, Central Park, New York, is a
pigmy in grandeur. The trees look
like they had been here centuries, and
one is awed into admiration. Every
thing is so different from conditions in
the estates" that one feels as though
one had been autowed into another
world.
There are no evidences of poverty
here; l have yet to meet the first beg
gar. Everybody is busy and everyone
! minds his own business splendid
trait to emulate.
The town, or should rather say the
city, gets its water supply from the
mountains; melted snow, and no need,
as you may guess, to use ice. The
weather has been cool, lightweight
Jackets being comfortable. Just within
sight of my back window | see the
snow-capped mountains-a condition
that exists the entire year. No matter
how the sun shines, the snow is ever in
evidence on the mountain top.
The trip over the route Cecil and |
came is inconceivably grand; yes, the
word grand seems most appropriate to
our experiences in this sightseeing
We have taken several auto trips to the
6Au udSC lOOhCo uoWh uAACo
and miles from the dizzy heights.
We saw several men from Memphis
and other Southern points, equipped
for mountain hunting trips. Bear and
other animals are plentiful. We have
been invited to participate, but declined,
as We want to live to fight another day; [;
so we ran away.
The population of this new 25-year
old city is 100000 and is growing rap
idly-cosmopolitan, though the English
is readily distinguished, there being
many Southerners and New Workers
here. Chinese and "Japs'' are the do
mestic servants, and our home colored
"lady" and ''gent" are not much in
evidence.
If we could only get one-tenth of the
good will and energy that these people
display towards one another in our Bay
St. Louis, its future would be assured.

TAXING MONEY In THE POSTAL SAVINGS
BANKS.

N. o. PicaYune.
1t is announced that it is going to be
a question whether or not the deposits
in the United States postal savings
banks are to be subject to taxation.
There can be but one answer to the
question. Ii deposits in State savings
banks are taxed, assuredly, the deposits
in the United States banks should also
be subject to taxation. Every postal
bank in the limits of State must be
subject to the laws of such State so far
as such banks are the custodians of the
money of the citizens of such States.
If the United States can set up banks
in the States of the Union and give de-
positors immunity from taxation, they
could draw all the deposits from State
savings banks and thereby drive them
out of business.
1t is probably unwise to tax capital
in such way as to drive it out of the
State, where manufacturers and other
industries and enterprises are needed
to employ the people and establish
prosperity; but if deposits in State
banks are taxed, then the postal banks
should be put upon the same basis,
and have no advantage save it may be
of security.
If there is any notion that money
laid up in savings banks remains there
as if it were in an old stocking and
does not get into circulation, let such
an idea be at once discarded. The
banks lend out the depositors' money
so that it goes into active business.
How could the savings banks afford to
pay interest to depositors unless they
have some means of getting return !?
The hundreds of millions of money
in the savings banks is all represented
in the vast business of the country, and
without it there would have to be an
immense reduction and contraction in
business of every sort.

WAR AND PEACE.
BIZ ELBERT HUBBARD.

The history of the race is a history
of war and blood. The men who could
kill most and quickest were the men
who owned the earth, and those who
destroyed most were those to whom all
honors were paid.
ANY one taking trip up the Rhine
cannot but be seriously impressed with
the fact that the chief business of men,
until yesterday, was war.
At every bend in the storied river is a
castle. Each commanding cliff has a
fort. Every point of vantage is crowned
with redoubt, or the ruins of one,
where men armed with every known
weapon of their time once bade defiance
to other men and challenged to the
death their brothers.
No man could travel without an armed
guard. Every man went laden with
the grim instruments of death.
Very gradually things have been
changed, until over the fairest portion
of the earth both life and property are
now secure. Men who mind their own
business have nothing to fear, and those
are safest who carry no weapons.
The honors are going to the men who
can build-who can create. Within
proper limits we may express ourselves
upon any subject of vital interest; we
give men. the right to their own opin-
ions, and everywhere it is understood
that a person has perfect right to be
wrong in his conclusions as well as
right.
No more striking proof of this change
is found than in the fact that we have
recently seen public opinion forcing ar
bitration upon men who ''had nothing
to arbitrate".
The men who owned those rock
ribbed fortresses and frowning castles
on the Rhine once had nothing to arbi-
trate. They took their positions and
held them, but not forever.
1t is the people who rule, for strong
men are only strong as they are backed
up by public opinion. When the peo-
pie feel deeply and think sanely, and
vibrate together, the ''rulers" quickly
fall into line and do the goose-step.
And now it has come to pass that the
people object to being used as stones
and sticks Co tight the battles of the
seeming strong. Their bubbles, quar-
rels, feuds and selfish struggles for
place and power are none of ours.
Helen and Paris may elope for all of
us-that Is their affair-and all of Men
elaus's loud cries of "To arms!" fall
upon the ears of men who haye work to
do at home. We smile.
And here is prophecy. In America
CONSUMPTION will never again be at
tempted. 1t has gone and gone for
ever. Arbitrate your difference-you
are both right, and both are wrong.
Fighting may test which side is the
stronger, but not which side is nearest
right. Calm deliberation will bring us
nearer to truth, but heat, anger, strife
and war only drive her far afield.
The treaty of arbitration signed be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, and France and the United
States, on August 3, 1911, forms an ep-
och in history. 1t lifts William Howard
Taft into the proud position of being
one of the great emancipators of man
kind. The United States of the World
will yet be reality.
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1911-09-23

is Senator, John Sharp Williams, with
which The Echo herewith reproduces:
over his neighbor's desk, exactly like he
would lean over the pigpen, and in
quires "as to the tariff revision up".
His remarks produce storm, and this
has all been done at little cost of
strength to Williams.
"His arts are hard to trace to any
school, but his philosophy is easy to
trace to sound basis. Williams is OF
medium height and weight, with clear
eyes that see all things. His mouth
looks as if it had been lured away by
heavy ends of tobacco or big cigars.
His mustache droops like moss of the
trees of the southern swamps, and at a
distance his hair looks as if it had been
cuddled into shape by the elder duck.
Possibly the most striking feature, if it
| is possible to pick striking features from
a man so full of features, is the polse OF
Williams head and hands when he
stands to speak. 1t is exactly like the
old-fashioned stump speaker at the
minstrel show, who stands alongside OF
the small table with the big pitcher and
the old umbrella resting on the table.
"Senator Williams is one of those
proud people of whom there are quite a
few that claim much from the associa-
tions of the late Judge Culberson OF
Texas. In fact, he is one of the finest
types of the Culberson school of states
men, as during their many years to-
gether in the Lower House of Congress
they were pals, the younger ever draw
ing from the elder, and the older taking
for his pay the boyish exuDerance oi
the man in question. So now you no
tice the young man, for Williams could
never get old, has some traits like the
distinguished statesman from Texas
has the art of unstudied gentleness, the
art of common sense and good, cutting
sarcasm"
