The Way To Get II.

Pascagoula wants q hotel, That
is a very natural desire that's shared
by a number of coast communities
which have aspirations to vie with
Biloxi as winter and summer resorts.
However, theiPascagouiiaFs are to be
congratulated on their progressive
ness for instead of waiting for some
capitalist to be sent down by their
fairy godmothef they have gone to
work and organized a hotel company
and to build it themselves.
The people can have anything
they want. That sounds like an
extravaqant statement but 1t Is not.
All that is necessary is for each man
to put his shoulder to the wheel,
make a few sacrifices if necessary,

SENATOR vARDAMAN
I PICTURESQUE FIGURE
On Horseback and On Foot He
Attracts Attention In
Washington.

Washington, D. c., May lone
of the most, if not the most, pictur-
esque figures in the Senate is James
K. Vardaman of Mississippi whose
long black hair, falling 70 the Shout
ders. smooth-shaven face and pierc-
ing black eyes, afford the guides of
the Capital no end Of small talk for
the benefit of tourists who are crowd
ing the big building on the hill these
pleasant days Of spring.
But Vardaman in the Senate and
Vardaman in the saddle are as far
apart as the poles. In the saddle
Senator Vardaman looks like Knight
of Old, the lance ard armour being
the only things missing to complete
the picture.
The junior Senator from Mississ-
ippi made his appearance in Poto-
mac driveway the other day, on
handsome bay horse and his fault
less riding and his stately mein, his
eyes partly hidden by the brim Of a
soft hat, such as a Southern gentle
man wears on the stage and in Con-
gress, and his long black hair made
a picture for an artist. Vardaman
was Immaculate in a dark blue coat,
pure white riding breeches and black
riding boots. Needless to say he
was "the observed Of all observers"

CLOSER SUPERVISION
OF MISSISSIPPI BANKS
ct Gathering In GuIfport Bankers
Outline Project For Next
Legislature.

DR.. P. H. Saunders of the New
Orleans Real Estate and Mortgage
Company presented at an informal
rieeting Of about thirty bankers al
the Great Southern Hotel at Gulf
Port last week the outlines Of a pro-
POSED bill, which is agreeable to the
banks throughout the state Of Miss
issippi and which will be introduced
at the next session of the legislature.
Il provides for a state bank examiner
and closer supervision of the banks
Of this state. His remarks commend
ing the bill were followed by Mr.. p.
Z. Eaton Of Gulfport, E. c. Tons
miere of Biloxi and Mr.. Hanun Gard
ner Of Gulfport.
A number of questions in a round
about manner were brought up. One
OF the resolutions passed was the
adoption of the State Bankers As
sociation Of Mississippi Of the group
system, which would permit Of the
formation Of an organization n each
congressional district as a branch Of
the mother body. The meeting was
as much social as business, but was
in compliance with the requirements
Of the State Bankers association,
that the bankers Of each Congress.
ional district meet once in each year
under the supervision Of the district
vice president to discuss matters per-
tanning to the welfare of the general
organization.
A paid secretary is one Of the feat
ures of the project.
Messrs. Herring, McInnis and John-
son represented the Pascagoula
bankers at the gathering.

Their Willingness to Become
Part Owners.

1t developed this week that the
citizens. of Pascagoula wanted a re.
sort hotel on the beach. before they
wanted anything else of a public Oh
semi-public nature. Therefore the
hotel proposition, which had been
set aside temporarily for the purpose
of pushing forward other important
matters, was taken up again at a
meeting held in City Hall Tuesday
afternoon. Several citizens not MEM
bers of the Business League hotel
committee met with the committee
and urged the pushing forward Of
the hotel project.
At the meeting it was stated au-
thoritively that the Louisville stock
holders and directors of the Pascal
goula Street Railway and Power
Company, who were here in their
private car last week, were very en-
thusiastic over the proposed building
Of large resort hotel on the beach.
They visited the beach, looked over
the proposed sites and stated it was
a wonder to them that a project Of
the kind had not been carried out
before in such an ideal location.
That they will become subscribers
to a considerable amount of the stock
is practically assured. Officials Of
the new Southern Paper Company
look upon the proposition in the
same light and will very likely be-
come stockholders of the hotel COM
pany. 1t is known that other out
of-town business men will subscribe.
The committee at its meeting Tues
day ordered subscription blanks.

have been left at all the banks and
newspaper offices so that those not
seen by the committees can leave
their subscriptions for stock there.

the company. and the rest in 80,

Experienced hotel men believe the
hotel will pay from the start. 1t is
to have 49 rooms, plenty of sur
rounding ground for golf links, ETC.,
and modern conveniences.

dren, aged 5, I and years.
Schall made frantic efforts to
save his family aud when at length
he was dragged from the burning

A sentry discovered the blaze
shortly before midnight The bar
racks located in the west compone-
ment we're occupied by four FAINT
lies. The flames swept the frame
structures with great rapidity and
the sentry was able to give warning
in time TO save only three of the
families
When he reached Schail's quar-
tiers they were a mass OF flames.
The fire was caused by an explo-
sion of gasoline in one of the bar
racks.
