G. P. SMITH BACK
FROM NASHVILLE
Election as President LaundrIers' AS.
ISOLATION Came as Distinct
Surprise.

Mr.. G. P. Smith, who was elected
President of the Tri-State Laudriers'
Association last Tuesday during the
annual meeting of the Association in
Nashville, returned home last night.
Mr.. Smith states that his selection
as president came as a distinct sur
prise. That the contemplated selec-
tion Of him to head the body had never
been intimated. and this coming on
top of selecting Hattiesburg as the
next meeting place was doubly pleas
ing.
Memphis, Birmingham and Chatta-
nooga worked hard to secure the next
convention. Birmingham went so far
as to send their local laundriers' asso-
citation to Nashville to fight for it, but
the committee named to select the
next meeting place were evidently dis
posed to favor Hattiesburg, so the
next will come here.
Mr.. Smith states that the delegates
while in Nashville were royalty enter
tained by the local laundriers. They
were given an old-fashioned barbecue
at the Hermitage" the old home of
Andrew Jackson, and were conveyed
to the home in automobiles and every
courtesy and attention given them. Ev-
erybody in the place seemed to vie
with each other in showing the visi-
tors a good time.
The Convention did not close until
last night, but Mr.. Smith could not
remain over for the closing entertain
ments on account OF the rush of bust
ness that has accumulated, caused by
the large number of visitors. in the
I city and the illness of number of his
Operatives.

carry out the reported threat of the
brewers-that the recreation rooms,
gymnasium, libraries, etc., secured by
the temperance people from Congress
at cost of several hundred thousand
dollars, would be turned into beer
halls. Whoever is responsible for
these and other almost incredible con-
ditions, should pc brought to Justice"

beer that is used the less spirits will

The urban districts which are un-

CUT WORMS PLAY
HAVOC WITH CORN

Jackson, Miss, May 17.-Reports
come from several sections of the
state that cut worms are playing
havoc with young corn, and much re-
planting will be necessary.
The early development of this pest
is due to the unusual rainfall of the
past sixty days, and the amount of
damage already inflicted has been de-
cidedly large.
The corn acreage planted in the up
land countries is perhaps thirty per
cent heavier than last year. How
ever, farmers have used very little
fertilizer in pitching this crop, total
fertilizer sales for the season up to
April list being only 1921 tons, or
about half of the sales for the previous
season. Some of the manufacturers
report fairly good sales during the
past six weeks, but shipments to date
are far behind last years record.
In the delta, where plantations were
inundated by crevasses in the levees
the farmers are putting down corn and
cotton in the mud, and losing no time
in getting their crops planted, the
pillow gangs following as. closely as
possible behind the receding waters.

Louisville, KY, May 1.-THE Perma-

States of America presented its re-
port to the General Assembly today.
The receipts for the year were $685.

ANY statistics of the quantity of
liquor consumed during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911, available
at this time, are subject to correction
when the computation of the Govern

has been a slight increase in the con-

DOUBLE RATES ON ORANGES

A Jacksonville correspondent of the
New York Produce News says:
"An example of the subterfuges
railroads use to take advantage of the
public, in shipments of Florida fruits,
developed during the recent holiday
rush. A local man decided to send
some oranges and grapefruit to Jack
son, Tenn. He was informed that the
express rate was $1.10 a box, and
freight, 7Sc. He decided to use the
latter method, as it was cheaper. A
produce man was given the order and
instructed to prepay the freight.
Three boxes were shipped to one adj
dress, and one each to two other ad-
dresses, via the Atlantic Coast Line.
The charge on the first three boxes
was the published rate of 7Sc., but on
the other two the charge was lust
double, or s1.56 per box. Thinking
the double charge was a mistake. the
man who had shipped the fruit pre-
sented the bill to the Atlantic Coast
Line for correction, and was informa5
that the road charged double rate
