GOSPEL ARMY
ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS TO
ANNuLL CHARTER OF new
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 12.-Claiming
that those at the head of "The Gospel
Army Service" obtained their charter
to do religious and rescue work 'for
the purpose of imposing on the public
by the solicitation of moneys for their
own private purposes, and not for the
purposes stated and set forth in the
said charter" Attorney General Ross
A. Collins Is seeking to put the XII
bosh on new organization patterned
after the Salvation Army that has
begun to operate in Mississippi. ,'.,.
The attorney general this morning
filed in the circuit court quo warranto
proceedings against the incorporators
of The Gospel Army Service, Charles
G. Pollota, of jackson, w. r. Flamka,
of Columbus, Miss, and Mary Follota,
of Jackson, praying that their charter
be annulled "and for such other relief
as may be proper in the premises
The Governor granted a charter to
Follota and his associates on Feb. q,
of this year, but it was not until a few
days ago that the incorporators began
to hold religious meetings ON the
streets of the capital, wearing uni
forms that were strikingly similar to
those worn by members of the Saliva
tion Army. The attorney general
calls attention to this fact in his com
plant.

1T WAS A PUZZLE TO HIM.

A man, who went away from home
some time ago to attend a convention
of church people, was struck with the
beauty of the little town in which the
gathering was held. He had plenty
of time, and while wandering about
walked into the village cemetery. 1t
was a beautiful place, and he walked
around among the graves. He saw a
monument, one of the largest in the
cemetery. and read with surprise the
inscription on it:
"A lawyer, and an Honest Man"
The man scratched his head, and
looked at the monument again. He
read the inscription over and over
Then he walked all around the monu-
ment and examined the grave closely

That the report published few days
ago to the effect that the Leaf River
project had been unfavorably passed
on by the Army Board of Engineers
was not based on the facts in the case
and that there is still the probability
of favorable report, is evidenced by
the following letter from Congressman
Pat Harrison to Mr.. T. S, Jackson of
this city:

not started, you had better hurry up
before some other boy or girl gets
the subscriptions that you could have
gotten Just for the asking. Getting
six dollars on subscriptions to The

that no boy or girl who wants a Co.
cycle, can afford to miss. The longer
you wait the harder it will be, TOT
those that start out early will get SUD-
scriptions that you could have gotten
if you had gone first.
A plumber of boys and girls have
already turned in their subscriptions
and will get Gocycle as soon as they
arrive. Surely you don't want to walt
and bring up the rear, or stand around
and see other boys and girls enjoying
themselves and you not have a Go
cycle to join in the procession.
The Goggles will be here In few
days, and we want as many boys and
girls as possible to have earned one
by the time they arrive so they can
start the fad off in good style. Get in
the lead and show other boys and girls
that you are not trailer. Every time
you see a boy or girl on one of these

are hustlers.

Probably no other class of business
men in the world are such easy
marks" as the publishers of that class
of publications known as country
newspapers. This is so well under
stood among large advertisers and
business men generally that they have
come to think that the country editor
is his rightful prey. and when one has
the temerity to resent this attitude
and demand value received for his
space, 1t is a cause for great surprise.
A case in point is that of the Tri-
State Fair, of Memphis. This con-
Germ recently sent the Sentinel 40
inch ad to be inserted twice, enclos-
ing check for $500 to pay for same.
Along with the display ad were three
columns of news matter to be run
free. gratis, for nothing" The
amount of the enclosure was at the
rate of IA cents per inch, about one
fourth the SentinePs card rate. The
check was returned, with a letter
stating that it would be impossible to
accept the business at less than zoe,
net, per inch, the rate they had paid
last year, after long correspondence.
In June last, the Secretary wrote
the editor of the Sentinel, asking the
paper to make some comment on the
work that the Tri-State Fair is doing
for the development of the Agricul-
tural resources of all this section. We
will have our advertising copy ready
about Aug. /, when you will hear from
u.s." This request was complied with.
In fact, the Sentinel has probably CIV
ZEN more publicity in the way of news
stories to this and other fairs than
any other weekly in the state. But
the niggardly policy of the Tri-State
Fair is shown when it secures lot
of free advertising in the guise of
news, under false pretenses, and then
refuses 10 pay decent rates for the dis
play advertising 1t has to give out
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-09-12

In order to prove that advertising
space in the Memphis papers is not
secured at cut-throat rates, the editor
of the Sentinel wrote to both the
News-Scimitar and the Commercial
Appeal, and received replies from the
business managers of both, in which
the statement is made that full card
rates were charged the Tri-State Fair
by both those papers.
In the correspondence which this
paper had last year with the Memphis
outfit the statement was made that the
Sentinel is the only weekly paper in
the State that charged them over 10
cents per inch for their advertising,
and named a number of them. AS
most of these papers named have
about the same rates of the Sentinel,
it is evident that the Memphis crowd
has been securing big bargain.
The Sentinel has only one rate, and
Illlb RATE 10 always puObCu W C'Cl
advertiser alike, whether local or for
eign. If we were to make any conces-
sions, it would certainly be to our local
advertisers and not to foreign con,
Germs who use only small amount of
space probably once year.
How long will Mississippi editors
continue to give their profits away is
problem which seems hard of solu-
ton. In the meantime, the free space
which they give the Tri-State Fair
and other such concerns helps to swell
their Golfers and drain Mississippi OF
money which will probably never re-
turn.
This is one free ad for the Tri-State
but is the last they will get except at
regular rates.-Yazoo Sentinel.
The News endorses the above. But
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis is no
exception. The Meridian Mississippi

Fair at Jackson are guilty of like meth.

THE degree of conductivity exercised by
a small metallic substance about the
person, as a ring or q bracelet. seems 10 be q
matter of dispute. some affirming that such
small articles would exert no influence in
inducing the direction Of lightning, while
Others are ready 10 cite a number of recorded
instances tending 10 an opposite conclusion.
Thus there is the well known story Of a
young woman, IN full dress. going 20 an open
window on the approach of a storm with the
intention OF determining whether II was rain

struck the house, and the descending bolt

curious examples Of the effects Of electrical
discharges, cites the case Of q peasant girl
who, being ovcrtaken by thunder shower
when working in the fields, had a gold pin,
which was passed through her hair behind TO
keep il in place, fused and disSipatcd by
stroke OF lightning without herself sustaining
any harm. II is well known that whenever
the electric discharge takes in its course
metallic substance that though good con-
ductor, is not sufficient in mass 10 furnish
free passage for it, the metal is heated and
perhaps fused; and sometimes when 1t IS
quite small in relation to'the electricity pass

WHEN the government, through the
Department OF Agriculture, took ND
not long ago a consideration of the damage
inflicted 10 life and property by lightning.
there was realized for perhaps the first time
the widespread ravages of this strange and
terrible foe TO humanity. Statistics show
that in the United States between seven hun
dred and eight hundred persons are killed
annually and twice that number injured bv
lightning. There have been instances Of
lightning fatalities, however, that have ut
terly baffled the trained Investigator. \
startling theory, recently propoundcd bv an
English scientist. is that some of the most
destructive bolts of lightning are flashed not
from the clouds 10 the earth, but from highly
electrified points on the earth in an upward
direction.
Some years ago a house in town on the
Massachusetts coast was struck hV lightning
and one man was killed, while others. even
IN the same room, were uniniurcd. On cX-
amlnlng the premises II was found that. IN q
garrct directly over where the victim was
sitting in the room below, saw was hung TO
a raitcr and the point of it reached the floor
almost exactly over the mans head Then.
in the basement immediately below the sit
ting room were a number of tools, among
Others a CroWbar, which was standing against
the wall. nearly below the feet of the victim.
The result evidently was that the crowbar,
the body of the man. the saw. and that part
of the chimney above the roof formed con-
neCtcd series of conductors for the trans
mission of the electric force, and the victim
was killed simply because he. and not Others.
came in the track OF the bolt.
