TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR MONUMENT
Local Committee Appointed to Aid in
Honorins Women Of The
confederacy.

Mrs. Summerville, of Greenville,
Miss, is in the city for the purpose
of encouraging the movement recent
ly inaugurated to erect 10 the memory
of the Confederate women, monu-
ment that will in a small way perpe-
uate the memory of that noble band
who were compelled to suffer a cor
responding amount of trials, tribula-
tions and pain that the wearers of the
gray were compelled to undergo. 1t
is meet that at this time those
who have adequately added to the
perpetuation of the name of the Con-
federate soldier should turn their at
tention now to do honor to the women
OF the Confederacy, by erecting a fit
ting shrine that can stand beside that
of the soldier and so be carried on
down through the years.
Mrs. Summerfield in this movement
has the unqualified endorsement of a
majority of the most prominent citi-
zens of the state and her object in
coming here is to formally inaugurate
movement that has for its purpose
the raising of funds to erect the pro-
posed monument. She has named the
following committee: j. P. Pace,
county chairman; Rev. E. D. Solomon,
assistant chairman and Mrs. E. T. Nc
Gregor, Treasurer. This committee
it is understood will begin work i'm.
mediately, and all who are interested
should make liberal donations.

RE-ITERATEs STATEMENT THAT
HE WILL RESIGN AS POLICE
JUDGE ON FEB. FIRST.
COMMISSIONER FULLER TO SERVE
Mayor Rich Says He Would Not Hold
The Position Without Full Authori-
ty And Tells OF What Has Been
Accomplished Under Chief Beverly.

Mayor Rich in an interview with a
News man this morning stated en-
phatically that he would not recon
slider his resignation handed in some
weeks ago as police justice. He
stated that his administration in this
capacity was open to the most search.
ing inquiry from the people at large
as regards the police work that has
been done under his guidance. He
stated that his prime motive in Sc
lecting Mr.. Beverly in the beginning
was because he felt that he was alb.
solutely the best man available for
the place, and believes the same to-
day. He pointed out that under the
present administration the police
had done very effective work with
less than half the men that had been
employed in this department before
he went into office. That "blind
tigers" fiourished in the heart of the
city and conditions generally were
very bad In town He stated that he
was perfectly Wiling for detectives
or interested parties to investigate
searchingly affairs here at the pres.
ent time and does not believe that
whiskey Is being sold with one-fourth
the activity that it had been in former
years, and "boot-leggers" were about
the only ones that were actively en-.
gagged in carrying on the nefarious
practice, and that these were being
caught almost daily as will be shown
by the records of the police court.
Mayor Rich reiterated his former
statement that he would resign, and
states that it was obvious that he
could not serve in that capacity un-
les he was given authority that is due
the head Of the department. That
he was satisfied with Beverly as chief
and would under no consideration
serve with Mr.. Moore, the incoming
officer named at the recent meeting
of the commissioners, who selected
him to succeed Mr.. Beverly. AS the
matter now stands one of the two 9TH
er commissioners will no doubt be
selected to act as police justice, as
the employing of an additional man
for this position would incur an addi-
tional expense of something like
$1,000 per year.

MANY STRIKERS
Bring CHARGES
Claim Legislation Investigation OF
Strike Conditions Was
Partizan.
Special to The Netos.

Jackson, Miss. Jan. 27.--Ugly
charges are made by strikers at Nc
Comb City against the members of
the joint legislative committee ap-
pointed to make an investigation of
the conditions and report to the leg
islature on the advisability of main
training the troops at that place. 1t
is Understood that resolutions have
been forwarded to Senator Joe Nor
wood and representative from Pike
county in the House, protesting
against the manner in which the
committee investigated the strike.
"The investigation was held behind
closed doors, and the strikers side of
the question was not properly pre-
sented for consideration" is one of
the charges made by the strikers.
1t is also claimed that the commit
tee was unwittingly taken in hand
by the railroad officials and kept in
tow all the tine it was there.
A meeting of the strikers was held
several days ago at McComb City,
and the resolutions which are claimed
to have been forwarded to the COM
mittee were adopted. The meeting
was attended by a number of busi-
ness men and citizens. The atten-
dance is estimated to have been about
425 persons. ....
Senator Norwood returned to his
home in Magnolia, yesterday, and
could not be seen for a confirmation
or denial of the rumor that he had
been asked to present the strikers
resolution to the Senate.
The members of the committee who
went to McComb and Water Valley
to make an investigation were also
away from the city yesterday.
IL is expected. that the charges of
the strikers against the committee
will eliminate with some lively de-
velopments.

Hon. T. U. Sisson, of the fourth dis
trict, while exceedingly popular with
the masses, winning out in 1910 virtu-
ally without opposition, is not so GER
tain of easy sailing this time.
In the fifth district Congressman S.
A. Witherspoon, who defeated Hon.
Adam Byrd in 1910, may have that
gentleman to reckon with this sum-
mer. A formal announcement of Mr..
Byrd's intentions is expected within
the next few days.
Hon. Pat Harrison, of the sixth dis
trict, who is serving his first term,
has no opposition in sight thus far,
and will be perfectly satisfied If none

clined to reply to Col. Henry Waiter
sons challenge of last night in con-

property owned by the state, and that
it was destined to do a great work
for the teachers of the state. The
splendid location of the grounds, the
high elevation, and the large amount
of land that has been given to the
college impressed the members of
the party very forcibly.
The party was taken for a car ride
over the principal streets of the city
upon returning to town and at one
o'clock were dined at the Hotel Hat
tiesburg.
It is expected that this visit of the
members of the important committee
on Universities and Colleges will
place the Normal College in a much
more favorable light before the legis-
lature. This particular committee
has a great deal to do with the way
the state educational institutions fare
at the hands of the legislature. II
their recommendations are favorable
the appropriation committees will
very likely abide by those recommen-
daticn; and judging from the tenor
of their remarks 1t is taken that the
committee will do the right thing by
the institution.

State Congressional Contests
Cause Much Speculatioa

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 27.-Congres-
sional contests during the coming
summer are causing some comment
among legislators. UP to this time
very few candidates have come out
with their formal announcements, but
it is likely the woods will be full
of em before the legislature adjourns,
and there are possibly a few members
of the states lawmakers body who
would like to SHE their casters in
the ring.
In the first district Hon. E. 8. Cand-
Ter, Jr.. familiarly known as "Zeke,"
has no avowed oposition. He has
served continuously since the retire
ment of Private" John Allen, and for
the past several years has had all
prospective opponents thoroughly
bluffed. There is no assurance, how
ever, that this state of affairs will
continue indefinitely, and it Is more
than likely that Mr.. Gambler will have
a fight on his hands this year.
Congressman H. D. Stephens, of
the second district, Is serving his
first term, and the unwritten law that
a member shall be given four years
in which to demonstrate ability may
save him from contest this year.
Hon. BENZ. Humphries, of the third
district. is another member who has
been keeping the would-be aspirants
bluffed by reason of personal popular
ity and excellent political record
There are at least four well-knowr
politicians in the delta, however, wht
would like to give Mr.. Humphries {
tussle this year, and some of then
may decide to do it.

Seven members of the committee
from the lower house of the legisla-
ture on Universities and Colleges
stopped off in Hattiesburg this morn
ing, from Gulfport, to look over the
Normal College site and see what has
been done SO far in the erection of
the buildings. The legislators in the
party are as follows: Bramlett, of
Wilkinson, Chairman; Gillespie Of
Kinds, Carter Of Amite, Darden of
Jefferson, Burrow of JEFF Davis, Jones
Of Franklin, Johnson of Lowndes and
Welborn of Oktibbeha
The party was met at the station
by a committee of members of the
Commercial Club and other business
men, and taken at once to the col
lege grounds on special car placed
at their disposal by the Traction COM
pany. The gentlemen from the legis-
lature were shown over the grounds
and nao the dlnerent buildings or the
college pointed out and explained to
them. About one hour was spent at
the college site and judging from the
expressions of surprise at the enormi-
ty of the proposition and the favora-
BILE comments on the plans and char
acter of the several buildings. the re-
suit of the visit will no doubt be a
placing of the matter of appropria-
tions before the legislature in the
most favorable light. The legisla.
tors, individually manifested the
keenest interest in the work that is
being don e, and freely expressed
themselves that the institution would
be one of the most valuable pieces OF
