London, July 27.-The most pesa.
mlstc view regarding the acuteness
Of the Moroccan crisis was largely
confirmed by the primo minister In
the House Of Commons today when
he read from a manuscript which had
bcon carefully prepared a warning to
Germany that Great Britain proposed
10 stand for what she considered her
rights and to maintain the balance
In Europe
Further testimony as to the gravity
Of the situation is given by the fact
that the prime minister had taken
the leader of the opposition In his
confidence and Mr.. Balfour's decla-
ration was no less firm than Mr.. AS
quith's
At the very opening Of his manu-
script the prime minister snid
"It is obvious that this Moroccan
question has reached point at which
1t will become increasingly difficult,
embarrassing and anxious unless a So
lutlon Is found"
Lator ho said:
1--WE thought 1t right from tho be-
ginning to make clear that feeling OF
a sentiment such as It indicated, that
we must become an active party in
! the DISCUSSION OF the situation. That
would bo our right as a signatory OF
the treaty OF Algiers as It might be
our obligation under the terms Of our
agreement with France It might be
our duty in the defense Of British in
terests"
In promising tho support of the OPP
position to the government Mr.. Bal
four said:
'lf there are any who suppose that
We would he wiped off the map OF
Europe because we have our diff
cultles at homo. II may be worth while
saying that they bitterly mistake the
temper of the British people, and the
patriotism OF the opposition"
Such speaking on question
fraught with the possibilities of
| great European war has not been
heard in many years IN Parliament. II
as some papers say, Germany has
reached tho stage Of national develop
ment whore the necd3sltles Of her
population are such that she must
branch out into foreign fields. and
imposes conditions on France which
threaten Great Brtalns vital inter-
ests, the only result, as thole best
Informed see It, will be tho oft-threat-
encd and oft-averted European con-
! vulslon.

LETTER FROM COL. SIDNEY M'AUR|N
REGARDING HEBRONS SPEECH At FLORENCE
Senator McLaurin's death.

of Senator McLaurin's death.
On the other hand, Mr.. VardamaHs
opposition to Senator McLaurin has been
bitter, indicative and malicious from the
time he first thought Senator McLaurin
was in his way politically.
In 1895, when Mr.. Vardaman and SEN
ator McLaurin were candidates for Gov
ernor, Mr.. Vardaman's attack upon SEN
ator McLaurin were frequent, malicious,
unwarranted and bitter. These bitter and
malicious attacks ocptinued from thar
time until the time of Senator McLaurin's
death. All three Of Senator McLaurin's
brothers living, and Anselm ]. McLaurin,
Jr., his only son, are openly and earnestly
supporting Senator Percy.
Under these circumstances, no friend of
Senator McLaurin will ask anybody to
vote against Mr.. Percy for Mr.. Varda-
man on account of Mr.. Percy's attitude
toward Senator McLaurin during his life
time.
know the record Senator Percy has
made in the senate, and know he is re-
garded among the Democratic Senators
as one of the abicst members of that
great body. I feel that it would be an
injustice to the people of Mississippi,
and especially to Senator McLaurin's
friends, for me to remain silent while
his enemies are trying to prejudice his
friends against Senator Percy. Senator
|. McLaurin's brothers and closest friends
are entirely satisfied with Senator Percy
and I see no reason why Mr.. Hebron
and others who fought Senator McLaurin
in his lifetime should be 50 concerned now
about the buried differences between Mr..
Percy and Senator McLaurin.
Very sincerely,
SIDNEY L. McLAURTN.

buildings near by which were threatened
danger, the roof in front catching fire
several times. It seemed that this block
would go too but the heroic efforts of a
few men on top of the Barnes store in
keeping the roof wet by dipping water
from a tank on the roof kept the fire
from gaining any Roadway. The thing
that saved this block however, was iii
tearing down the roof over the second
story gallery. A rope was tied around
the posts, pulling them out, then attached
to the roof and it pulled down. Mr.. 9.
O. Robinson had verp narrow escape
when this was done. He was OH the
second floor cutting away the supports
when the roof gave way and fell on him,
knocking him down and severely bruislTg
him. A small upright which kept the
roof from falling flat was all that saved
his life.
The postoffice block was never in great
danger, the block being entirely of brick
and the roofs covered with tin. Also
the north wall of the Brandon Drug Com
pany building stood up until the hottest
period of the fire was over so kept back
some of the heat
This fire makes big hole in the bus
mess section of Brandon. 1t is very
heavy loss to those whose property was
DESTROYED. The block burned was the
Oldest in town, being built before the
civil war. 1t is hoped that the buildings
will soon be replaced and that the firms
can again resume business.

Last Friday morning fire was discov-
cred in the Gayden Company store and
in few hours the entire block was re-
duced to ashes. The flames spread very
rapidly and hardly anything was saved
from the stores burned. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
The stores burned were the Gayden
Company, Darnall Brothers, ]. w. Tay-
Tor, the Brandon Drug Company and w.
w. Corley. The Cumberland telephone
exchange, located in second story of the
Brandon Drug Company building,
the law office of Mr.. Vim. Buchanan,
and DR.. A. @. McLaurin's office, were
also a total loss.
Insurance was carried by Darnall
Brothers, ]. w. Taylor and the Brandon
Drug Company, but not enough to cover
their loss. The other firms sustained a
complete loss. The entire block of build
ings which were owned by Mr. Buchanan
were unprotected by insurance and total
loss.
The fire was discovered by Bob Blu
sick and John Darnall about SIS Fri
day morning. They promptly raised the
alarm but the fire had already gained
such Roadway that it was beyond con-
troll before help arrived. The flames
ran along the wooden front galleries of
the block, famed by a sharp south wind,
burst into the windows and doors of the
other stores and in less than an hour the
entire block was burning 6ercely. Seeing
that the block was doomed the fire fight
ers turned their attention to the other

IMPROVEMENT.

w. G. Barnes is always trying to inn
prove his property and make it more
convenient and useful to himself and
friends. He has just recently completed
his own water-works in his store-by
means of a large tank upon the top of
his store which is filled from the top
of the sr story--the tank being on the
I'd story, and has piping and hyprants
all through the store for convenience and
to be used in case of FIRE. He has also
put in a toilet in the rear of his store
for the benefit of the ladies and children.
If it had not been for his large tank
of water the recent fire could not have
been stopped, and just about all OF the
main business part of town would have
burned.

Editor Brandon News:
/ am not given to discussion of
politics in the public press, but in view
of your report of the speech of Mr.. He
bron at Florence last Saturday, deem
it my duty to myself, to my friends and
to the memory of the late Senator Nc
Laurin to make public expression con-
corning matters discussed by MIR. He
bron. Among other things reported in
your paper as having been said by Mr..
Hebron is this: "Then the speaker dis
cussed the legislative caucus at some
length. He believed that with Senator
McLaurins death large majority OF
his support turned to Vardaman."
He is also quoted as saying: During
his speech Mr.. Hebron asked if the late
Senator McLaurin had any friends in
the audience A man in the audience
promptly replied: "Iots of them" An
other of the audience said Everyone here"
Senator Hebkon then said he wanted
to read something Senator Percy had said
about Senator McLaurin, resolution In.
troduced by Percy criticizing McLaurin
after the latter had retired from the
Governors chair. The speaker read the
extract, making the point that no friend
Of Senator McLaurin could support Percy
after hearing il. MIR. Hebron spoke of
Percy's criticism of McLaurin while he
was in The Governors office and of Noel
on account Of the ievec matter. - yes, s =
am not willing to sit idly by and let
any man call upon Senator McLaurin's
friends in Mississippi to oppose Senator
Leroy Percy and support Jas. K. Varda-
man on account of the attitude Of these
two men towards Senator McLaurin with
out undertaking in my humble way to ac-
quaint all of Sensor McLaurin's friends
with the exact situation.
Il IS true that Senator Percy wrote of
Senator McLaurin<in way that was not
at all complimentary or pleasing to SEN
ator McLaurin Later on, however, when
Mr.. Percy had become better acquainted
with Senator McLanrin and was. satisfied
that he had formed the wrong, estimate
Of him, he very promptly and frankly
made proper Cancellation with Senator
McLaurin and was giving him his loyal
and earnest support in his candidacy for
the United State, Senate for the present
term. They were, personally and politi-
caliy, on the best Of terms at the time

The difference between the Democrats
of the 6znd and the Republicans of the
6rst congress is that the former are
fulfilling their pledges to tn. people
while the latter hagrantly evaded them.
In the two and a half months which the
Democratic house has been in session il
has passed many vastly important meas
ures for the public betterment, besides
indorsing reciprocity, providing for di-
rect senatorial elections and the publicity
of campaign contributions before as well
as after elections, placing many necessi-
ties Of life on the free list, and making
larger reductions in the cost of public
service by abolishing sinecures, to say
nothing Of carrying on far reaching trust
investigations. All this will cut an impor,
rant figure in the presidential campaign
next year.
