Forum of the People

ing to do away with this form of gov
eminent are not the friends, but the
enemies of the voters whom they are
trying to persuade to do thing which
means the betrayal of their own inter-
ests and the rights and happiness of
their homes, their wives and children;
and they should remember that if they
are sincerely opposed to Commission
Government, they certainly love fair
play enough to give this method a
fair trial.
Monday the citizens of Hattiesburg
are to vote to see whether or not this
form of government is to be kept or
changed. Between now and that day
the enemies of Commission Govern
ment will use every possible argument
to induce the voters to vote it out
They will say that the valuation of
property has been raised and this
will be their chief argument when
every one who reads the papers knows
that property valuation has been
raised in Jackson, in Meridian and in
all of our larger towns simply because
the expenses of government have been
requiring it for some time. This is no
argument against Commission Govern
ment whatever, as like conditions exist
elsewhere under the aldermanic form.
All the municipal ills we have were
created or grew up under aldermanic
government. What hope can there
be in going back to that? Would it
not be wiser to at least give the COM
mission form a fair try-out?

negro BADLY CUT
AT .PALMERS CROSSING

Rufus Farley, negro was cut and
badly wounded by Jerry Wilson, an
other negro, at Palmer's Crossing
three miles south of Hattiesburg at
1870 this morning. The alteration
grew out Of a bill that Wilson owed
Farley for moving him.
The wounded negro was cut three
times with a knife; in the breast near
his heart, in the stomach and a six
inch cash in the left arm. He was
brought here at 1890 and his wounds
were dressed by DR.. Mounger. His
wounds are not considered serious.

governor REFUSES
GULFP0RT TROOPS
Lawlessness Among Negroes And
Longshoremen Gives Authori-
ties Trouble.

Jackson, Miss, April Ex-Governor
Brewer has ignored the request of the
Mayor of Gulfport for troops to be
sent to that place to suppress lawless-
ness among negroes and acts of VIC
lence by the striking longshoremen.
Instead of sending troops to the
scene, Gov Brewer communicated
with Sheriff Jas. Elmer, one of the
most capable officials in the state, and
instructed him to assume full COM
mand of the situation, and, in event
he is unable to handle it, to ask for
what assistance may be necessary.
The Chief of Police at Gulfport has
about twenty extra men on duty, and,
according to advices from the scene,
the municipal officials are not especial
ly pleased with the burden of expense
they have thus been forced to assume
After getting all information obtain
able in regard to the situation, Gov.
Brewer was convinced that the county
and municipal authorities will be able
to handle the situation without the aid
of troops

USE OF CROSS IN HERALDRY
More Than Four Hundred Forms Of
the Device Are Recognized In
That Science.

In early pagan days the cross was
a symbol of shame and ignominy, and
only those deformed or misshapen
trees that could be used for no other
purpose were formed into crosses.
But since the cross has become dear
to Christians, says the Ave Maria"
the most precious woods and metals
have been formed into it. To the third
century may be traced the custom OF
making the Sign of the Cross. In
the days Of Constantine, Christians
painted crosses on the entrances Of
their houses as a symbol of cheir
faith.
The impetus to the use of the crosa
In heraIdry was given by the CrIlsa-
ders, who wore a red cross upon GIreir
right shoulder as a token of the OBJ
legation they had taken upon them
selves. It's form and meanings in her
aldic designs are many. In fact over
four hundred and seven different
forms have been recorded by students
of biography and genealogy.
In heraldry the cross is formed by
two perpendicular and two horizontal
lines crossing in the center of the
shield. This form is modified in va
rious ways by additions and combina-
lions, thus expressing many meanings,
It has been said that human intelli-
gence has never devised a system so
infinite in it's varieties and so endless
in its application as is to be found in
The science of heraldry, in which fig
-
crosses.
The Greek cross has all four arms
of equal length, while the Latin cross
has the earth end longer than the 9th
er three arms. The Calvary or Christ
Cross rests upon three steps or de-
grees. The Patriarch cross is recog-
nized by it's double crossbar. The
ST. Andrews cross is an X, in token
of the form of cross on which that
saint suffered martyrdom by having
his hands and feet bound to it's four
arms. The st. Anthony cross is
shaped like a T, and has it's name
from the cross that st. Anthony, abb
bot, wore upon his cloak, though the
origin of his cross seems to be Egypt
ian.
1t is a matter of interest that many
American families have the cross as
the basic emblem of their escutcheons.
Among them are at least five Of the
presidents. The Garfield shield has a
blue cross in the dexter canton, and
the family motto is, 'In the cross I
conquer" The Tyler shield had on it
a bar, two crescents and a cross form.
The shield of the Adams family was
adorned by large cruciform device.

Her RuIs With Husbands.

Miss Kate Riverton Byles, one Of
the suffragist leaders Of Colorado,
said at a recent suffragist dinner in
Cripple Creek:
Opponents of woman's suffrage
would have you believe that a vote
turns a woman into monster. Yet,
when a young man, arriving at the
age of twenty-one, gets the vote, does
he, or does he not, become monster?
''But to hear the anti-suffragists talk
you'd think that every voting woman
was like that lady, rich in her own
right, to whom her husband said:
My suspicious are at last con-
frmed. We part forever from this
moment
But the guilty lady retorted
haughtiIy:
mot at all, sir. Not at all. It's
my invariable rule to require a
months notice from every husband "
