Ig&IgNI and crack your hands. They
are used by American soap
makers simply because American soap
makers have never known how to make
soap ovithont using them. We went to the
old Country for our Chief Chemist-to
the one and only family in the world that
could supply us with that one right form

Green Soap is best for every household
use.
Many of you remember the green soft
soap that you used in the Old Country.
All Of you have probably heard of it.
Genuine Old Country Green Soap is. it.
odd Country is nothing but pure
vegetable oils made into soap by the best
grade of electrolytic potash. Because Of
its purity it gains in strength.

CANADIAN LANDS OPENED.

Toronto, Aug. 20.-The Ontario Gov
eminent opened to prospectors 1000
acres of land in the GILES Limit, lying
south of the portion already disposed
Of and east of the Montreal river to-
day. The territory is of doubtful
mineral value. The officers of the
Department of Mines made a thorough
examination in search of minerals,
but although the nature of the dis
trict is favorable to the presence OF
ore bodies, no discoveries were made.
For some months, however, the peo-
pie of Cobalt and Haileybury have
been urging the Government to allow
prospectors to try their fortune, point
ing out that with the taking up of all
the promising territory in the neigh
borhood of the Cobalt camp, prospects
have been moving farther afield.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 20.-Gov,
Thomas r. Marshal of Indiana, in his
formal speech of acceptance of the
democratic vice-presidential nomina-
ton, delivered to the notification com
mittee here today, attacked the Re-
public party on the grounds that it
had fostered special privilege to the
point of making men everywhere So
cialistic in theory if not in conduct.
In this connection, he said:
ut is idle for thoughtful man in
America, whether millionaire or pau
per, to longer play the ostrich. Safe
ty does not consist in hiding ones
head in the sands of either sentiment
or hope. It Is foolish for the vastly
rich to keep on insisting that moro
and more shall be added to their rich
es through specious system Of spe.
cfal legislation ostensibly enacted to
run the government. in reality enact
ed to loot the people.
ut is worse than ignorance for them
to smile at the large body of intelli-
gent Americans who regard them
selves as fortunate If the debit and
credit accounts of life balance at the
end of the year; and to assume that
the mighty many, who are becoming
convinced that that social system that
we call Democracy is but glittering
generality, will long endure the indus

CROSSED Wires
CAUSE EXCITEMENT

Considerable excitement was caused
on Main street for few minutes this
morning when a telephone cable line
got crossed with an electric light wire
at the corner of the Bufkin building.
When the two wires came in contact
there was sound like that made by
a sky-rocket, followed by an explosion
similar to those one so frequently
hears when accumulated gas explodes
in an automobile engine.
General Manager Stevens of the
Traction Co., was standing on the OPP
posite side of the street when the oc-
currence took place. He at once
called out his linemen and had the
line, which had parted at the point
of contact, restored.

T. E. BATSON, CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR, ENUMERATES SOME OF
THE PRINCIPLES HE ADVOCATES

To the Voters of Hattiesburg:
AS candidate for the important Of
flee Of Mayor of this city I deem 1t
appropriate to publicly express some
of the measures l shall stand for, If
elected at the approaching election.
1 shall favor giving the city pro-
gressive, business like and economi-
cal administration, and to this end
shall see that the city revenues are
disbursed so that the tax payers
shall get value for the moneys that
may be expended, and that the same
are disbursed in a manner that will
best promote the interest of all the
people of this city. And this policy
shall be adhered to in the employ
ment of subordinates as well as in
other particulars.
1 favor all things that tend to the
moral and material upbuilding of the
city.
I favor the greatest possible econo-
my in the public services common
surate with the public need; and l
favor the strict enforcement of
the criminal law and especially the
law against the unlawful sale of in:
toxicating liquors.
I believe that my past life as a
private citizen and my record as an
official of this city and county will
assure the voters of my position on
such questions. I fully realize the
baneful effects resulting to this city
on account of the Illicit sale of intoxi
eating liquors and the lax enforce
ment of the law against the same.
The health of the city is an import
ant object and l shall insist upon per
feet sanitary condition; and it shall
be my aim to look after this i'm
portant duty in order that preventable
diseases may be kept down to the
minimum, and l believe that Hatties
burg can be made conspicuous for its
cleanliness and healthfullness by the
proper attention being given to sani
tation; therefore, too much considera
ton cannot be given this importan
matter.
favor the improvement of all tn,
