STANLEY STEAMER SERVICE

AS will be seen by our adver-
tising columns. Newark is to have
additional automobile service to
T.. B. < W. r. K. station. in the
form OF fine ten-passenger car,
operated by the Stanley Service
Company. or otherwise by Mr.,
Richard r. Whittingham. who
represents the Stanley Steamer
for the State of Delaware and the
eastern shore Of Maryland and
Virginia.
Mr.. Whittingham has said little
about his plans until Il recent i'll
tprvicw. in which he stated his po-
Sition as follows:
YES. intend to operate II large
ear and some smaller cars in and
around Newark. TO such an extent
as may prove most useful to our
people. Newark. it seems to me.
has lined up with the progresslves,
regardless Of politics. and as the
essence Of progression is to keep
moving. | am going to keep.
1T is true that there is an eN-
celIent auto bus now in service to
and from the station. but it is
alone. and the traffic is growing
faster than most people realize ;
also. it must not be forgotten that
automobiles are only human and
subject to such disorders as may at
any time require their temporary
withdrawal for treatment; Iii
which event it will be to the adj
vantage of our patrons to have
two strings to their bow.
"As agent for the Stanley.
are YOU not figuring somewhat on
the advertising value OF the ser
vice to your cars?
"Undoubtedly. and so long as
| know that | can furnish an auto
mobile that will give more power,
comfort and all-around ability
than any gasoline car Of twice its
price. | am clad Of any opportun-
ity to make that car better
known.
Mr.. Whittingham has rented
space at the Deer Park stables for
the proper housing Of his ears and
will make the hotel his headQuar-
ters. to give prompt attention to
calls for service to any point.

GOOD ROADS BOND
ISSUE: fOR
AITALA
$4,000 TO BE EXPENDED IN FIRST
DlSTRICT-AMITE IN
CONTRAST.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.-The Attala
county board of supervisors has given
notice of intention to sell at its Sep
tember meeting a $4,000 bond issue,
proceeds of which will be used in the
construction of good roads in first
district of the county, in which the
town of Kosciusko is located.
Somewhat in contrast to the action
of Attala county, proposal to issue
$4,000 in bonds for good roads pur-
poses in the county of Amite was de-
feated when submitted to the qualified
electors. The defeat is attributed
chiefly to the fact that the county has
not yet fully recovered from the revo-
luton in agricultural and general bus
mess conditions brought about by the
advent of the boil weevil.

PRIMARY IN 9TH DISTRICT:
DICKSON HAS HARD FIGHT

Congressman w A. Dickson re-
turned from Washington three weeks
ago and opened an energetic cam
paign for reelection. In an address
to the voters of the district he stated
that it was impossible for him to get
away earlier, owing to the bare work
ing majority of the Democratic party
in the lower house.
Mr.. Quin has been engaged in a
canvass OF the district for several
months that has been almost house
toulouse affair, and in this respect he
has a decided advantage over his op
ponent.
For the past ten years the vote cast
at congressional primary in this dis
trist has never exceeded 10 per cent
OF the registration. and the interest
manifested in the event brought to {

The polls opened at nine o'clock

VIII LSON-MARSHALL CLUB
ORGANIZED AT JACKSON

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.-With the
declared purpose of bringing every
registered Democratic vote to the polls
at the Presidential election in Novem-
ber, a Wilson and Marshal club was
organized at the county court house
last night.
The gathering was representative
assembly, of Democracy, state, county
and city officials being present in
large numbers. One of the most note
worthy and significant features was
the fraternal spirit and genuine en-
thusiasm shown by both the rank and
file of the party heretofore slip up into
contending factions on state issues
and individuals, but now solidly
aligned for the national ticket.
Governor Brewer and Judge Robert
Powell, Democratic national commit
teemen, were among the prominent
speakers. Plans were formed for a
systematic canvass of the city to Sc

pie failed to give in the names Of
their children because they were not
in school; because they (the par
ents) feared that it would cost them
something. because they feared there
was some Interior motive in the con-
sus and for other causes. In a num-
ber of instances he found that under
the first census people were away
from their homes and their houses
were closed up and their neighbors
did not give any information about
them because they did not want to
meddle. And then anyone who has
had any experience in attempting to
gain information among the negroes
knows how difficult 1t is.
This census will not be taken again
for four years, so it can be easily
understood how necessary it is that
every child between the ages of
and 21 years should be on the list
While the amount is not absolutely
fixed, the city will receive in the
neighborhood of $500 per year fol
each child named. The work Mr.
Clark is doing is careful and consci
entious,, and he is thoroughly enthu
siastic in the undertaking, but the
people themselves can be of grea
assistance to him and should render
him every aid.

ANNOUNCEMENT RECEIVED
WITHOUT DEMONSTRATION
Case Went to Jury at $3.50 p. M. Fri
day After Ten Hours Argument
Possibility of Another Having Com.

Winona, Miss, Aug. 24.-Swinton
Permenter was today acquitted of the
charge of numbering Miss jamie

The jury retired at $3.50 p. M Fri

was Hon. w. F. Thompson of the

which the city receives the school
