F. M. currie, secretary Of the Taft
league, Is preparing the petitions to place
the Taft ticket on the primary ballot, and
expects to send them out tomorrow. The
only vacancy to be fllled SO far as known,

obtaining them in so many counties Is
going to require considerable work. but
the petitions are expected TO be all ready
long before the time required. Mr.. Cur
RE has requests from MeCook. Norfolk
and Pierce for papers necessary to form
Taft clubs in those places affiliated with
the state club. They will be forwarded
at once. This work is Just being started
and within few days 1t is expected there
will be a large number OF clubs in process
of organization.
II is stated that Robert G. Ross OF Lex
inaton. who last week flied as republican
candidate for president, not only intends
TO follow it up with filings as demo-
crat populist and socialist. but that he
has studied the election laws Of other
states, and finds that he can file in a
similar manner in Wisconsin, North Da-
1cota and Oregon.

SEAvER MAKES PERMANENT I
SURVEY

Walter G. Seaver, promoter OF
the Mississippi Northwestern rail-
road, and chief engineer, Nicholas
T. Jones, with a gang of workmen
are locating the permanent route OF
the line from the terminals at Pa
quette point through the city to the
point southwest of Moss Point where
the river will be crossed. Engineers
who are familiar with the difficulties
of locating and routing railroads are
unanimous in the opinion that the
work that is just now being COM
pleted is the best they have in
many years, practically the temper
ary survey being adopted as the per-
manent line.
Mr.. Seaver announces that he has
agreed to the requests made OF him
to alter his original line OF route ana
will cross the river near Dantzler's S
point, southwest of Moss Point,
thereby reaching a virgin timber sup
ply that is estimated to be good for
a number of years to supply the big
mills at this port. Cutting through
this timber insures the road revenue
producer from the time the first train
is operated, and at the meeting OF
the Business Mems League, Mr..
Seaver gave assurances that active
construction of this line would be-
qin on or before November, 1912.

am not yet ready to make statement
OF what the matter OF vital concern to
| the people OF the state is and-was, for
fear it might hamper me in consum

J. will take the entire people into my

neither my friends nor my enemies
can critize ne for ny abienoe. Until
tll1t time sincerely trust they will
take my word for it that uhe trip had
| for its main object MATES OF great
| publ interest and benefit to the peo
pie OF Mississippi"
BY discerning people this is plainly
| that lie went to London TO get a line
m the settlement that would be made
OF the reputed Union and Planters
Bank bonds. The state 10 1888 bought
IS, 900, 900 stock in The Union Bank
and issued bonds for The amount, and
in 1880 bought So 100000 stock 10 the
Planters Bank and issued bonds.
These bonds were held largely in Eu
rope and the Fest. The state never
expressly repudiated, but would not
pay the bonds or interest, and they
nave never been paid Governor
Brewer has repeatedly spoken Of the
injury to the states credit by these
outstanding bonds, aud on March 27
this year requested full history Of
ihe transaction from the attorney
general, in which he was advised that
there was no question Of validity OF
the Planters Bank bonds and that
in 1852 the supreme court affirmed
The validity OF the Union Bank issue,
although the constitution of 1869 pro
yided the bonds should not be paid.
It is practically certain that this trip
means a compromise proposition from
)ondhnlders and the wiping OF the
stain Of reputation from the state OF
Mississippi which has handicapped its
credit ever since and which he has
felt keenly Mobile Register

BULL FOUND
IN MEASURE
Blunder of Mississippi LegIsIa-

AMENDMENT TO CONST|TU.
ton PLACED IN JEOPARDY
Intention to Permit Vote on
Recall and Referendum
Is Likely To Be
Defeated.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 6.-Another
bull" has been discovered in the
work of the 1912 legislators, and
one that is of such serious moment
it may again defeat the will of the
people, even should it succeed at
the polls in November.
One of the three amendments
ordered on the ticket relates to the
initiative and referendum-the prop
osition being to incorporate it in the
State convention, but it will hardly
60 this time, and all because Of the
haste and carelessness in the prepa-
ration of the bill, or resolution, and
which is credited to Mr.. Evans of
Leake county, one of the leaders on
the floor of the House.
Omittng the title and the pre-
liminaries, as printed on the official
sample ballot, the resolution reads:
Section 1. The legislative pow
er of the State of Mississippi is
vested in the Senate and House of
Representatives, but the people re-
serve to themselves the power to
propose laws and amend them to
the Constitution, and to enact or
reject the same at the polls, inde-
pendent of the legislative assembly,"
etc.
The trouble is found in the words
to propose laws and amend them
to the Constitution" OF course,
it was intended to say to propose
laws and amendments to the Con-
stitution," but that was not said in
the enrolment bill, nor in the origin
al draft of the resolution, which was
hunted up by Secretary of State
Power and compared with the print
ed copy.
The attention of Acting Gov. Bilbo
was called to the "bull, and with
a squint of one eye he suggested to
the Secretary of State it was pal
pable error, and he should chance it.
The secretary declined with many |
remembering the trouble into
which Senator Bond got himself by
and correcting an error of
that character some months ago.

vaIverde Mansion Sold to E. B.
Dunten.

I The beautiful Valverde mansion,
perhaps the most modem home in
the port territory, was purchased
Monday at trustee sale for E. B..
Dunten, general manager of the
Coast Realty & Colony company.
| This splendid home, which was
built about six years ago at cost Of
SO, 200, occupies a commanding
position on the high bluff on the
banks of Rabby's lake, overlooking
the broad and sweeping expanse of
the Pascagoula and West rivers as
they wend their way to the sea.
1t is equipped with its own water
and lighting plants, and the inside
is finished in polished hardwood,
with handcarved mantels. A spa
cious billiard room occupies the
third floor, while each of the other
floors is fully equipped with every
modern convenience.
The splendid residence carries
with it seven parked acres planted
in pecans, oranges, figs, grapes,
Scuppernongs, ETC., and servant
quarters, modernly equipped, and
barns, automobile garage and every
other modern necessity is included.
Extending into the placid waters of
Rabby's lake is a large private
wharf leading to spacious bath
house, and boat houses and landing
places abound. Passing the rear of
the property is the electric line that
connects the rhreeincorporated towns
of Moss Point, East Side and Pas
oagoula.
Mr. Dunten came to Pascagoula
some two years ago and became
interested in extensive plans for
colonizing the cut over lands of
Jackson county. Hundreds of home
seekers have been brought to this
immediate vicinity and thousands of
acres of land sold to them. He i'm
pressed himself strongly on the life
of the community and became prom
inenly identified with eAery move
nent that tended toward actual de-
velopment. 1t was feared that he
and his family, consisting OF his
wife and two beautiful and talented
daughters, Misses La More and
Thelma Dunten, would return to
their Indiana home in the near fut-
ure, but the purchase of the beati-
tul Valverde home brought from
him the announcement that he in
tends to make Pascogoula his home
for all future time. Mr.. Dunten is
prominent in the fraternal life of the
port and his two charming daugh-
ters are social leaders and .favorite.
The home was bid in for Mr.. Dun
ten by the Merchants and Marine
bank, but the purchase price was
not exploited.

BIC STOCK FARM
FOR PASCAG0ULA
E.W. G. Johnson, of Indiana, Buys
Large Tract of Land
on the Coast.

n
raising of thoroughbred, fancy ane
registered stock of all kinds is assur
ed for the Pascagoula vicinity, anc
already considerable progress has
been made toward the establish
ment of the great plant. E. w. G.
Johnson, one Of the greatest factors
in thoroughbred and registered
stock raising in Indiana and the
middle west, has purchased 20C
acres of land at Big Point, about
fourteen miles north of this city, and
has already installed his superin-
tendendent and a force Of workmen
in clearing it off and erecting the
necessary buildings. E. H. Ham
cock is the superintendent in charge,
and his reputation is quite as extern
sive in his line as that of his en-
ployer,
After purchasing the acreage, Mr..
Johnson sent four mules to this ter
rtory to be used as work animals,
each of which is an excellent speci-
men, and two jacks for service
that are superior to similar animals
ever seen in the south. The partic-
ular star, however, of the shipment
is the black coach stallion Herbanus,
imported from Germany, a first
prize winner at the Chicago fat
stock show and winner of numerous
prizes throughout the middle west.
This stallion is attracting wide at
tention not only from lovers Of
splendid horse flesh but from the
ordinary citizen who admres beauty
and symmetrical construction of any
kind. The stallion was owned by
E. w. G. Johnson, of the Blue
Grass region of Indiana, until few
days ago when it was purchased by
the Coast Realty & Colony company
for service and exhibition purposes
throughout the south, especially
along the coast.
1t is announced that Mr.. Johnson,
as soon as his 200 acres at Big
Point are cleared and ready for the
reception, will ship much of his
thoroughbred, fancy and registered
stock from his three immense farms
in the Indiana Blue Grass region, to
this vicinity, and will bend his
splendid energies toward making of
south Mississippi a recognized stock |
farm region. Besides the jacks and |
stallion indicated above, Mr.. John
son shipped to this city registered
Durock Jersey hogs and White
Wyandotte chickens, although it is
not his purpose to engage extensive
ly IN the poultry raising business.
Like all men of his calbre, believing
only in thoroughbreds, Mr.. Johnson
insists that even the chickens on

men must be the best.
The acreage purchased by Mr..
Johnson, and which is now covered
BY workmen preparing it for its ulti-
mate destiny, is Immediately adjoin-
