WILD West SHOW
A LITTLE
OFF
PATRONS OF FORMER ExHiBI
TON WERE DISAPPOINTED
WITH PERFORMANCE.

Buffalo Bills Wild West and Paw
nee Bills Far East show proved some
what disappointing to the people of
this section yesterday and particul-
arly was this true of those who had
seen the show in past years, but
1t is safe to say that the proprietors
of the show were not disappointed
in Hattiesburg. In the afternoon the
large arena was packed. At night
the crowd was not so large, but it
was still large enough to be salts
isfactory to the show people.
OF course with the show season
drawing to a close, with men and
animals worn out by two perform
ances daily and constant travel on
the road, with equipment furnished by
wear, it could not be expected that
the performance itself or the appear
ance of things would be as good as
earlier in the season. However, the
small boy enjoyed it and the small
girl, and that should be sufficient sat
isfaction to the grown-ups, very many
Of whom find pleasure in the pleas
ure of little folks.
Interest of course centered about
Buffalo Bill, whose hair has been
whitened by II winters, yet who is
as active, as clear of eye, as steady
Of nerve and as able to do a hard
days work as when he started the
business twenty years ago. His is an
impressive figure and his career a
notable one in the former frontier
annals and the development days of
the Golden West.
The large crowd gathered early
trains from every direction bringing
in their hundreds and the streets were
| filled throughout the day with wish
tors and home people. The two NOV
ing pictures profited largely, and the
Gem, which kept open all day, en-
tertained all told about 1900.

away with the present imperfect
system of overseer which has be-
come antedeluvian and wholly in
effective. The system of over
seers was devised at a time when
the people were unable to build
roads, and it was the best that
could be done under the existing
conditions.
This new law should go into
effect from and. after its passage
in order that contracts for this
year can be made by May LIST.
The contracts would have to be
advertised, and it would be May
l, before anything could be done
in the way of letting contracts.
Sufficient bonds would be requir-
ed and no one who fails to live
up to the contract would be able
to draw anything from the
treasury.

RAILROAD WRECKS.

The appalling loss of life and
property in railroad wrecks seems
to increase rather than to be cut
down as the railroad system of
management progresses. 1t was
thought that when the air brake
was invented that there would
be fewer wrecks and a decrease
in the destruction wrought, and
the national government took the
matter up and passed laws fore
ing the roads to use air brakes
and other safety appliances. Not
withstanding these precautions
the loss of life and property con-
tinues to increase with each sue
ceeding year. q
The only explanation that can
be furnished for this is that the
human mind is incapable of per-
feet operation, and that IN trying
times it fails when it is most
needed. To remedy this defect
there must be perfected a system
that will operate without human
aid to prevent these disasters.
The application of electricity to
the many thousands of uses
daily, suggests that through it
might be found a medium that
could be brought to such per-
lection as to furnish the needed
remedy. 1t has been made to &C.
complish much that was thought
to be impossible, and under the
guidance of some inventive gen.
ius it should be made to automa-
tically stop trains when apr oach-
ing danger. While there has
been progress along this line,
there yet remains to be invented
the appliance or system of warn
ings that will operate when the
engineer. or other trainmen, fail
to discharge their duty at a criti-
cal moment. Few things seem
impossible these days, and we
await this invention in the belief
that it will come within a short
time.

The bitter political fight which
has been waged in our sister
state, Louisiana, for the past few
months, was brought to a close
in the primary of January %, by
the withdrawal of Michel, who
entered a second primary with
Judge Hall for governor, and the
withdrawal of Gov. Sanders, who
went into a second primary with
Congressman Broussard for the
senate. Senator Foster, who
stood for reelection, lost the race
to Congressman Ransdell. The
campaign was on similar lines to
the Mississippi campaign of last
year, and the business of the
state and the party suffered from
it's i'll effects.

John Samuel Cobb, Past Master
and Past Grand Master.


Born at Cherry Creek, Ponto-
toe county, Miss, April Is, 1853.
Died at the home of mis- brother,
James H. Cobb, Jan. II, 1912, at
Verona, Miss, and was buried
with usual Masonic ceremonies
at the cemetery there, January
Is, 1912, by the Verona Lodge
No 263, a large number of
bretheren from sister lodges as
sisting in his last sad obsequies.
He was made Mason in Yer
ona Lodge in 1876 and after fill
ing various offices was elected
Worspipful Master in 1879. He
was elected Most Worshipful
Grand Master of Masons of the
state of Mississippi in 1897,
which exalted position he filled
satisfactorily to the Craft and
with honor to himself. Down to
the day of his death he was a
regular attendant at the Grand
Lodge meetings and he was an
influential and conspicuous figure
IN it's deliberations, serving on
important committees and hold
ing rank amongst the most emf
nent Masons of the state. He
was also Past Grand High Priest
of the Royal Arch Chapter and
prominent in the Grand Council.
His father, Col. J. S. Cobb,
Sr.. moved to Verona about 1864
and his son, John. was educated
in the school here of which Dr..
R. M. Leavel, of the State Uni
versity, was for years principal.
After finishing the course in this
school he engaged in business in
his home town, continuing until
his death, except for few years
that he was a travelling salesman.
Always a leader in any enter
prise that was for the good of
his town, eminent in Masonry
by reason of his high order Of
ability, prominent as merchant
and citizen because of his hon.
esty, integrity and fan dealing,
loyal to the church of which ne
was a member. With open heart
and open purse he met the claims
of friendship or of charity and
especially was this pleasure to as
sist poor, struggling youths with |
both advice and material aid and
many will Bless his memory for
the assistance rendered them.
At times he was seemingly blunt |
and rude Of speech but his heart
was as tender as that of a woman;
frank, honest, outspoken, geneI-
Gus, patriotic and loyal as citi-
zen, jealous and active as a
church, worker, entering into
Masonry with all the energy of
his mind and soul. A, gifted
man and Mason has gone from
US. He was never married.
Therefore, be it resolved by
Verona Lodge No. 263. A. F. y
A. NJ:
First: That in the death of
our eminent and worthy brother
our Lodge has lost a pillow of
the Grand Lodge and
in general wise ruler
and safe councillor, his church a
oyal and devoted member. the
town and community a useful,
honorable and upright citizen,
and his family a loving brother.
Second: That we tender the
oereaved family our sincere con-
lolence in this great affection.
Third: That..a page in our min
ate book be set apart as sacred
20 his memory.

Why should MT Comp CTS with his long and bitter hatred of socialists go to Los Angeles and speak passionately for Job Hartman the socialist candidate for mayor?

 The origin of syndicatism. both in France and in this country. is fairly clear. Some sixteen years ago it ap- peared in France as protest against those socialists who had become dis ciplined enough to recognize the ne cessity of orderly and parliamentary methods of reform. To most impatient extremists these legal processes were tediously ineffective. It had already appeared that a socialist mayor could bring things to pass socialistically only by slow and wearisome processes.
