Mr.. Lamb and the rost-omcc.

TO the Editor OF The Times-Dispatch
Slr.-Your sunday issue contains a
report Of Captain Lambs speech at
Swansboro In which he rciterates the
aged assertion that Richmond owes
its new post Office to his herculean
struggles with an obdurate Congress.
Don't YOU know that is Buncomre?
Congress, busy "logrolling." IS
more than willing to enlarge postal
facilities to meet increasing business
requirements and everybody knows
that the Federal officials hero and
the influence of the citys big business
men did far more to get that post
Office than Captain Lambs mythical
Influence"
Senator Martin claims he "eot" the
Richmond post office.
About all Captain Lamb did was to
Introduce an APPROPRIATION bill and pre-
sent few facts. ready prepared for
him. which any wideawake Richmond
clerk could have done at half the
salary.
why does Captain Lamb keep cnal-
longing Mr.. Montague to find flaw in
his record? a man OF inaction is the
only one who has a fawiess record.
Mr.. Montague can do all that Captain
Lamb does. and moro. too; and in ad-
dition his enterprise and national per-
sonaiity VIII put Richmond and the
Third District ION the map"-that's
why the big majority want him.

The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1912-08-31

The following, coming from the press
correspondents at jackson, is of local
interest on account of the comment it
carries. 1t will be remembered County
Assessor F. C. Bordages gave COM
plete recapitulation of his work in The
Echo some two or three weeks ago,
which proved of much interest. The
number Of automobiles in the county is
10, but that was on February 1st, when
the assessment was made, the number
now being well doubled.
The press telegram from Jackson
says:
One of the few counties showing an
increase in the personal assessment roll
for the present year is that of Hancock,
on the coast. Most of the other coun-
ties have shown substantial declines in
values, out Hancock gives fine gain,
amounting to over hundred thousand
dollars.
The report last year showed personal
assessment of S689, 1851, but the report
just received from Chancery Clerk A.
A. Kergosien and Assessor F. G.. Bor-
dages shows total personal assessment
of S619, 1858.
One thing that is noticeable about
the report is the predominance of live
stock in the total. There are only 255
mules shown in the report at a total
value of S21 600, but the number of
horses reached over 200, at value of
over 100000. There are IL 900 oxen,
valued at S22, 900, and 5,770 head of cat
tie, valued at Sac, 900, besides 800 head
that are exempt. There are over 1000
head of sheep in the county, and only
about 400 hogs. There are 10 auto
mobiles in the county.
The increase in the assessment in the
county, after some boards of supervi-
sors have purposely cut down the assess
ments, is highly commendable.

A Lesson In Advertising.

A Louisiana newspaper editor draws
a very lear cut picture for the mer-
chant who runs an occasional adver-
tisement or who does not advertise at
all. 1t says:
''Do you know of anyone who does
not know that the above ST gn is at every
railroad crossingP Then, if every one
knows it, why do the railroads kee P
them in good repair? Why don't they
let them fall to pieces.
ga merchant told us once that he
didn't have to advertise-everyon
knows him. When the receiver sold
his stock very few people knew the
receivers name, but he sold more goods
in day than the merchant, whom
everyone knew, ever sold in month.
Why? Because he advertised.
"Your goods, and your prices, Mr.,
Merchant, need to be kept before the
public just as much as the railroads
need to advise you to look out for the
cars.
"And it is the persistent advertiser
that gets the big results.'

CEMENT BURIES PAScAG0ULA MAN.
Laborer at Southern Paper c ompany Almost
Loses Life in Accident.

PASCAGOULA, MISS, Aug. Co.
John M. Pelham, who lives in this city,
had narrow escape from being buries
alive under a load of cement. Pelham
works at the plant of the Southern Pa
per Company at Laine, and this morn
ing he went into the cement-room &c
assist fellow-wo rkman, and as he die
SO the whole dense mass of cement came
down upon Pelham, burying him un-
derneath.
The young man with him gave the
alarm and the laborers nearby rushed
in and after some time removed the
sacks of cement that were crushing him.
When extricated Pelham was uncon-
scious. He was attended by DIR. Tabor
and DR.. Armistead, who pronounced his
wounds serious, but not necessarily
dangerous.
He was crushed about the chest and
abdomen and his right leg must be kept
in plaster for some time. He was brought
to the home of his mother, Mrs. j. Pei
ham, in this city.

1t Is Now ''Vardaman".

Congressman T. u. Sisson has finally
accomplished for the people of CAL
houn county something they have long
wanted, and that is to have the post
office at "Timberville'' changed to
"Vardaman". When Vardaman was
governor a thriving little town in Cal
houn county was named for him. Roose-
velt, on account of the feud he had
with the Mississippi executive, would
not allow the postoffice to be named
"Vardaman", but had it called "Tim-
berville'. The people of the town were
game and loyal. They continued to
call the town after Vardaman, and to
receive their mail at "Timberville"
Efforts to get the. postoffice department
to relent have heretofore been unavail-
ing, until Congressman Sisson took ad-
vantage of the rupture in pleasant re-
lations between Roosevelt and Taft.
Now he has gotten the consent of the
department to the change, and from
now on the postoffice will be known as
ssVardaman''.

BUSINESS NOTICE.

The attention of our subscribers is
called to the recent ruling of Third
Assistant Post Master General Jos. J..
Britts, at Washington, to the effect
that newspaper publishers cannot use
the United States mails to convey their
their newspapers to readers where
subscribers are delinquent over one
year or more. To do so will cause the
publisher to forfeit the right of using
the mail unless a one cent postage
stamp be affixed to each and every copy
going to delinquent subscribers.
Accordingly, The Echo gives notice
that the names of all delinquent sub
scribers will be dropped, where payment
is not made. The address label is a
statement of your subscription account.
In most instances bills have already
been sent to delinquent subscribers.
every copy of which to produce costs
time, labor and cold cash, is generally
abused and taken advantage of. The
paper, as rule, is sought for, read and
seldom paid for at the right time or in
the right spirit.
The Government says it cannot carry
the "dead ones" any more. There is
no appeal from this decision.

STILL DIssEcTING ROOSEVELT.

The Louisville Courier -Journ al
delightfully."- continues to pay its respects
to Roosevelt, and commenting upon the
fact that his egotism has proved his
undoing, remarks:
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived at
Khartoum upon his return from the
African jungles he was the most popu-
lar man in the world. A decorous re-
turn to America and dignfied content j.
ment with private life would have left
him intact and unassailable as a popular
hero and great man. Any avenue of
useful activity would have been open to
him. But the megalomaniac conld not
be decorous; could not be dignifed. He
must needs begin at a Mohammedan
university in Cairo, and keep up
until he arrived at Osawatomie harangu-
ing the world, denouncing the flesh and
the devil, and blowing his own per-
sonal bazoo, to his own undoing. He
must needs run about Europe slap
ping kings and emperors upon
the back and calling the attention
of his corps of press agents to the
fact that they did not resent it, but
woula be proud ever afterwards of
having backs that the illustrious, ram
bunctious Roosevelt had slapped.
Egotism blinded him to the fact that
before he had reached London he had
become the butt of ridicule in the comic
journals of the continent, and that
before he had reached New York he
had made it plain that the American
people must choose him for their
king and make a bonfire of their con-
stitution, or sit upon him with the force
of ton of brick obeying the law of
gravtation.
Even after the debacle at Chicago,
which was proof enough to all of his
supporters who were sane, that he had
no political futnre and could only make
a monkey of himself by clamoring for
preferment that would be forever denied
him, egotism kept the scales upon his
eyes.

PASS CHRISTIAN WOMEN GET "sTUNG"
Fake Fashion Solicitor Gets Their Money, Blu
They Get No Returns.

The gospel of buying at home cannot
be preached too much, although the
fallacy of buying away from home is
we'll known; yet orders for merchandise
of all kinds, not excluding printing, are
sent away, either by mail or through
travelling representatives, and the in
evitable results generally follow, to say
nothing. of the dollar once sent away
from home never returns.
The following from Pass Christian
tells its own tale of woe. We repro
duce, with sympathy for the ladies who
are sadder, but wiser now:
Pass Christian, Miss, August 27.-
About two weeks ago,a party signing
his name FL. Newman, and purporting
to be a travelling solicitor for the Jno.
j. Mitchell Company, publishers of
fashion journals at IL West Twenty
fifth street, New York, came through
this city and collected number of sub
scriptions from ladies, giving them re-
ceipts on ordinary printed forms aud
promised six patterns as premium
The ladies who subscribed having grown
impatient waiting for their papers and
patterns, wrote to the Mitchell Com
pany, only to be informed that they
had no such representative, and that no
such subscriptions had been reported.
The solicitor is described as being a
man of about 50 years, light complex
ion. about 5 feet Z inches tall, and
weighs about lao pounds. While here
he wore blue suit of clothes and pre-
sented neat appearance.

THE STATE AUTO TAXES ARE $22, 900.
Automobile Licenses in Mississippi Bring In
That Amount.

Jackson, Miss, August 27.-Auditor
Thompson has paid into the treasury
the sum of $4,000 on account of auto
mobile state privilege licenses. This is
not the sum of all receipts under the
item, as the auditor withheld sufficient
to pay for the tags and other expenses
incurred in putting the act into opera
ton. Some question has arisen as to
whether the auditor has had any
authority to disburse any of this spe-
cial fund so long as the act itself is in
litigation, but, after consulting Cover
nor Brewer and other lawyers, Mr..
Thompson decided to take the risk,
feeling satisfied that his bond is amply
protected.
