To an audience that taxed the Audi

Leroy Percy last evening addressed
the citizens of Hattiesburg and sur
rounding territory on the issues of the
present campaign, in the interest of
his candidacy for reelection.
In point of numbers and enthu-
siasm a more representative and re-

bled in this city. The evening trains
brought voters from many of the near
by towns, and as circuit court is now in
session there were a great many farm
ers of the county in the audience, who
for the first time had an opportunity
to hear Senator Percy Several min.

and the reception committee every
available seat in the Auditorium was
occupied and the vestibule was pack
Many more turned away being unable
to gain entrance, and despite the in
tense heat and the discomfort of those
who had to stand, the crowd did not
appreciably diminish during the two
hours and twenty minutes occupied
in the delivery of the speech.
Senator Percy was met at the sta
tion on arrival of his train from Jack
son and given an enthusiastic recep-
tion by his friends and admirers, who
had secured the Hattiesburg band to
l., inish music, and welcome him to
th4 city And when he walked upon
tie stage at the Auditorium, accom-
panied by many of the leading citi-

deafening and continued.
Mr.. r. c. Hearon, manager of the
Hattiesburg Cabinet Works, one of
the substantial business men of the
community, who works with his hands
as well as his head, was selected to
introduce Mr. Percy. In a short and
appropriate talk Mr. Hearon said he
deemed it a great honor and privilege
