horses on tho Sabbath, but they were
wrong. God said that we should water
them or feed anything that needed it
and It would not be wrong, but It
would be doing the animals kind

God said that he sent Jesus to heal
the sick and he did It on the Sabbath
and some people were mad at him and
said he was not the son Of God. Then
Jesus explained to them and they
were sorry and asked Jesus to for
give them, which he did.

dIetOn, Of ROxie.

Roxie, Miss. June 10. State
Senator Theo. G. Bilbo. candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and Hon.
Ross A. Collins, candidate for At
torney General. spoke here today
to large crowd. including about
100 ladies and children.
Immediately after the arrival of
the candidates the crowd moved to
the Baptist Church. Mr.. Collins
made a speech of about thirty or
forty minutes. Senator BiIbo was
then introduced by Rev. John E.
Middleton. and for two and one
half hours held the attention of an
enthusiastic crowd. During the
entire time the best of order pre-
vailed.
The house was packed to its
capacity. The aisles were throng-
ed with people standing, the ros-
trum was full and nearly all the
windows were filled regardless of
the intense heat. The people lis
tened patiently to the speaker and
regretted when Mr.. Bilbo was
forced to close his speech in order
to catch the train to Meadville,
where he was billed for a speech at
3 O'Clock.
It was one of the most enthusias-
tic and successful political meetings
ever held here. From the enthu-
|siasm manifested it was strictly a
Bilbo day.

seems to be less heated than in some
parts of the State. although the
various county candidates are busy
ing themselves among voters. and
everybody seems to have lots of
friends if handshaking can be taken
as an indication Street corner
arguments. however, seem to be
devoted chiefly to the senatorial
race.
