With Us Soon Again.
On ologies and isms she's a shark:
There's nothing in this world she
doesn't know:
She makes the population pause and bark
AS words of wisdom from her lips do
flow.
Dead language she reels off by the score;
She knows this fourth dimension thing
by heart.
She's ready quite to strike out from the
And san nfe's troubled sea without a
chart.
Political conditions vex her not;
She knows how to cure all her coun-
try's ills;
Shed fix the labor problem on the spot.
And set the wheels all turning in the
mills.
She's letter perfect and she leads her
In every modern theory to date,
No thinker of the era can surpass
The dream we call the sweet girl
We've heard her essay many times before
And of her sage advice wen never tire.
The new ones are the same as those Of
yore
And all were going to set the world
on fire.
We cannot doubt her good intentions,
still,
This life is full of mighty stumbling
blocks,
And like the others. in ten years she will
Be satisfied to darn some good mans
socks.

done it is only natural that he should
seek a promotion, and if a majority OF
the people do not approve his course
he is willing to abide by their verdict
expressed at the polls.
Mr.. Fuller's formal announcement
follows:
To The People OF Hattiesburg:
In announcing myself as a candidate
for the office of Mayor I wish to say
to the people of Hattiesburg that |
deeply appreciated the honor Of being
elected one of their Commissioners.
The placing of the entire affairs,
legislative and executive, of a city
such as Hattiesburg, in the hands of
but three men is a very high honor
indeed and should inspire anyone to
his very best efforts. To those friends
who supported me for Commissioner
and also to those who saw fit to sup
port some other candidate, I ask you
to investigate the affairs of the city
and my relation thereto and if you
find that have been faithful to the
best interests of the whole people
support me for Mayor. I shall make
my campaign on as high a plane as
did for Commissioner. I made no
promises to any man for position or
otherwise and l shall not do so now
To my fellow candidates for the May
orship I say to you have no personal
luminosity towards any man and that
nothing is more abhorrent to me thar
to attack mans private character fol
office.
l shall be ready to discuss with yor
any public questions, either publicly
or privately, only requesting that yor
extend to me the same personal cour
tesy due any other citizen.

There are perhaps very rev peopi'
in Hattiesburg who have given serious
though to the fact that owing TO the
largo area of nine square miles III
c,pded in the corporate limits, the
number and aggregate length of the
streets is considerable. The distance
from Hattiesburg to Jackson is ninety
miles. The total street mileage III
Hattiesburg is five miles less, as thiS
city is credited with eighty-hve miles
of streets. To work road eighty-hVe
miles long and keep it in repair re-
ouires labor and diligence, especially
if that road is as much Travelled as
are the streets of a city with l5,ooo
population When it is remembered
that public road rarely exceeds thir-
tv feet in width and that city streets
are from fifty to one hundred feet
wide, the figures become more inter
esting. when considering the problem
of how to keep all the streets in good
repair all the time.
A News representative accompanied
by Jerome Peacher, the city super
intendent of streets, on Monday made
a trip over the city for the purpose OF
learning if anything was really being
done to and for the streets of this city
The result of this investigation Is
shown in this article. In this connec
ton the attention of The News was
called to the fact that the work il
