PROMINENT LEGISLATOR
TAAlPERED WITH RECORD
Enthusiasm for New County Bill
Has Gotten Him Into Serious
Trouble With the Law.

jackson, March 23.-State Senator
A. w. Bond, of Virgins, one of the
most prominent members of the
present legislature, and who took
the lead in securing legislation ere
ating the new county OF Stone, with
Virgins as the county seat, and S.
r. Mckisson. young man connect
ed with the Mississippi Abstract,
Title ana Guarantee Company
we're arrested here last night, charg-
ed with altering an official record
of the state of Mississippi, which is
a penitentiary offense. Both men
were released on bail.
Senator Bond frankly confessed
that he ordered Mr.. Mckisson TO
make the alteration in the bill,
which was passed by the late ses-
sion Of the legislature, and of which
he was the author.
The election provided for under
the measure, creating the county OF
Stone was held Tuesday and car
ried. Senator Bond came to Jack
son TO discuss with Givernor Brew
er the appointment OF temporary
officers for the new county. Call
ing at the office Of the secretary OF
state. he asked for the original bill
which was placed in his possession
When the document was returned
Secretary Of State Power discover
ed that it had been tampered with
AS it originally stood section OF
land described as range IL" had
bsen changed to read range 13. y
The work was crudely done and
Senator Bond did not seem to real
ize the seriousness of his offense IN
making the alteration, frankly con-
Tossing that he had corrected the
record for the reason that the new
county measure would be invalid
as il stood
Governor Brewer was out OF the
city when the alteration was dis
covered, but his attention was i'm
mediately called to the matter on
his return and he ordered the ar
rest of the two men.
Senator Bond is prominent II
South Mississippi and took a lead
ing part on the floor Of the state
senate. He is man OF imposing
personality, weighing more than 2ot
pounds. 1t is said that he has con-
gressiona aspirations.

Senator Donald
Enters Denial
Not a Candidate

Commenting ON news item ap-
pearing In the Daily Argus few
days ago, in which it was inlmated
that DR.. ]. d. Donald. of Hatties-
burg. senator from the Second Mis-
sisslppl district, might enter the
race for congress, the Hattiesburg
News says:
Senator Donald, when asked
about the matter this morning. stat
ed he had not authorized any state
ment that he would be in the race
for congress this year. However,
he is human and does not deny that
he would like very much to repre-
sent his district in the national
house OF representatives. He may
may be considered in a receptive or
"Barkis is willing" attitude, but no
congressional bee has taken up per-
manent residence in his chapeau.
Some friends of the senator dis
eussed the matter with him during
the session of the legislature and
he was promised support in event
he decided to enter the contest but
since that time he says he has not
given the matter such thought that
he is seriously considering putting
his rhat in the ring
There is a probability that SEN
ator Donald will at some time make
the race from this district but
whether it is this year or later, he
is not prepared TO say. He is pop
uar throughout the district and
made splendid record for him
self during his service i'll the state
senate IN the past session, which
would be an added asset should
care to enter the lists against Mr..
Pat Harrison.

ment win again Be Thrown
to the Breeze.

Tho local chapter, United Daugh-
tiers OF the Confederacy Is making
extensive preparations for the un-
yelling of the handsome monument
now being erected in court square.
At meeting held yesterday, it
was decided to unveil the monu-
ment on April ~, and to invite his
exeellency, Governor Earl Brewer.
TO deliver the principal address.
A movement is on foot today,
however, to change the date Of the
exercises, and it is not improbable
that the event may be postpoE ed
until April 81, when Prof. King and
his government good roads demon
stration is scheduled to visit Lau-
rel.
1t is desired to have as many peo-
pie as possible present at the un-
yelling, and to this end the change
in date has been suggested by local
merchants and business men. many
OF whom believe it would be diff
cult to get large number Of far
mers to come to town on both dates
The selection of Governor Brew
er to deliver the principal address
at the unveiling is a happy solu-
tion OF the question, as the Daugh-
ters and the Veterans were divideo
as to the selection of the orator for
the occasion. until his name was
mentioned.
Some of them wanted to invite
Senator-elect Nardaman. while 9th
ers preferred Hon. Charles Scott or
Hon. c. H. Alexander.
General Walker May Come
General Irvine Walker. comman-
der in chief Of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, will be invited to
come. as soon as the date can be
definitely decided upon, and it is
believed that he will be present lr-
less his time is so taken up with
arrangements for the Forthcoming
reunion at Macon that he cannot
spare the time.

ed flag of the Thirteenth Mississip-
