An Interesting Occasion

has been behind every worthy move
ment since human society began. Re-
fering to the fraternal orders he said
their perpetuity was based on the
spirit of unselfishness. Free Mason
cry the mother of fraternalism is the
result of seed sown by men who hon
cred and observed the principles of
right.
Fraternal insurance originated many
years ago in England, first found form
in this country when the "Order of
United Workmen" was organized. The
Knights of Pythias, based upon the
story of Damon and Pythias, was
meant to heal the wounds caused by
the civil strife between two sections of
a great and common country. The
Knights of Honor, organized in 1878,
proved the strength and economic
value of fraternal insurance when it
passed safely through the yellow fever
scourge of 1878. The Woodmen of
the World organized in 1890 by Joseph
Cullen Root, has in % years become
financially, the strongest and numeri-
cally, the second strongest fraternal
order in the world. Texas, with 200,-
900 members, leads all the states in
supplying membership for this giant
order, while Mississippi, with $4,000
members, comes next. Arkansas has
$4,000 members and Louisiana $4,000,
thus showing the popularity of this
fraternal, social, benevolent insurance
order, to be relatively stronger in this
group of Southern States than any
where else, were statements made by
Mr. Hall. He said also that fraternity
is what men make it, and urged the
Woodmen present to so live that they
may exalt fraternalism and prove
themselves worthy to participate in
the blessings it bestows and the bene-
fits it confers.

penitentiary, and pledging him suf1-
cient funds to continue this work.
There was some discussion among ar
irving members today Of resolution
being offered providing for joint
legislative committee to probe prison
affairs, but it is not believed that this
course will be adopted, in view of
the fact that Governor Brewer has
shown himself capable of getting to
the bottom of penitentiary affairs,
through the employment of Burns de-
tectives and expert accountants.
The Judiciary squabbIe.
Judging from statements made by
early arrivals today, there is little
likelihood of an effort being made to
pass the elective judiciary bill over the
Governors veto. Even if an attempt
is made to get the matter before either
house for consideration, it may be
ruled out on parliamentary points.
At the 1912 session the legislature
inserted into the constitution the
amendment providing for the election
of circuit judges and chancellors adopt
ed at the polls at the 1911 election. A
bill was also passed providing for the

SAVES LUMBER
LAMAR LUMBER COMPANY LOST
NO FINISHED PRODUCT BY
SATURDAYS FIRE.

The fire which destroyed the saw
mill of the Lamar Lumber Company.
causing a fire loss of upwards of $15.-
600, did not destroy any lumber for
that company, as at first reported on
Saturday.
Upon his arrival in Hattiesburg Sat
urday night, Mr.. v. M. Scanlan was
seen, and from him it was learned
tha through the efficient and
active service of the mill force, both
white and black, they succeeded in
stopping the fire at the point where
their ramps Joined the mill shed. This
was done Notwithstanding the steam
connection to their big" fire pump
broke whe the boiler shed fell in.
Mr.. Scanlan thinks it was very re-
markable that not a stick of lumber
burned, when it is remembered that a
shed containing $4,000 feet of dry
lumber was within 150 feet of the
mill when it burned.
1t is the intention of the Lamar Ium-
ber Company to use their saw-mill

New Orleans, June 7, 1918
Hon. Earl Brewer, Executive Mansion
Jackson, Miss:
Dear Gov. Brewer X compliant q
with your telegraphic request of June
3, in regard to the Dunbar case, l beg
to say the attorneys met this morn
ing in my office mutually agreed on
what should be done, and for your in
formation l will send, under separate
cover, stenographic report of the en-
tire proceedings of the meeting, taken
and prepared by Mr.. A. E. Oliviera,
one of the official stenographers of the
Civil District Court for the Parish of
Orleans.
The witnesses received every cour-
tesy, and their statements were list
ened to with the closest attention.
They were forgetful of many dates,
but claim to remember to have seen
the child who was produced for their
inspection about the third Sunday
in July" while Bobbie Dunbar disap-
peared Aug. 2S, 1912.
Most of the information centers
around meeting the boy at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Jeptha Bilbo
about the third Sunday in July"
They Wee positive the boy was with
them from the time "old man Walters
went to the hospital in SEPTEMBER and
came back TO my house Oct IL"
In answer TO my direct question If
there was no malformation of the
foot or hands of the child, Mrs. Bilbo
said two of his toes were slightly
grown together, or web footed. The
child was at once produced, his shoes
and stockings removed, aud his little
feet exhibited to attorneys, witnesses
and those present, and with tie ex-
ception of slight scar on the great
toe the feet were perfect.
Inability to remember correct dates,

The ceremony of unveiling monu-
ments to the memory of Jos. c. Dan
iels, Thos. W. Longre and Robt. H.
Boozer, erected by the Woodmen of
the World, which was celebrated by
the local lodges of that order Sunday
afternoon, was attended by a large
number of Woodmen and many others
who at $3.50 p. m. assembled at the
City cemetery, where, according to
the ritual of the order the monuments
were unveiled in the order mentioned.
A. E. HARRISON, consul commander,
assisted by w. T. Cubley and E. M.
Haines, dedicated the monuments.
With the Hattiesburg brass band lead
ing and the uniform rank of the w.
o. w. following and other Woodmen
bringing up the rear of the procession,
those participating in the ceremony
marched from their lodge hall on Main
street to the cemetery, where, after
the reading of a tribute to departed
severeigns by A. E. HARRISON and the
playing of Nearer My God to Thee"
by the band, Miss Mary Anna Allen
read the "Woodmans' ode, ooh Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?"
Remember Me, Oh Mighty One"
was sung as a quartette by Messrs.
White, Esslinger, Grove and HARRISON.
Hon. Toxy Hall, of Columbia, him
self a member of the order of Wood
men, was the orator of the occasion,
and with words of grace and beauty
spoken in clear tones and with a
pleasing voice paid a high tribute to
the value of fraternalism. He said in
part that since the advent of man
fraternity has been mans guiding
star; that fraternity has done more
for the race by cementing men in COM

Indianapolis, Ind, June 9.-For the
first time the stars and bars Of the
Southern Confederacy adorned the
State Capitol here today. The occa-
sion was the unveiling Of a bust of
Colonel Richard Dale Owen, comman-
dant here in 1862, given to the state
by Confederate veterans who were
Owens prisoners. Probably never be-
fore have Confederate veterans so
honored a Union soldier. The presen.
tation speech was made by Gen. Ben

after long lapse of time, is to my
mind, strongly evident throughout the
whole proceeding, and I particularly
invite your carful attention to the
testimony of Mr.. ]. A. Moody, sheriff
of Marion county, a gentleman whom
! have well and favorablly known for
many years. e.p
In your telegram, asking me to be
present, you state would be glad to
hear from you (me) as to what you
think about it afterward."
In my opinion, the Dunbar child was
undoubtedly around Ford Creek
Church, and with the Bilbos, from the
time "old man Walters went to the
hospital in September and came back
to my house Oct. 49," and that the
witnesses are honestly mistaken in
, their opinion that the partly web
footed" boy that they saw in July
could by any possibility be the same
child identified by the mother who
pore MIN, his father the family doctor
who brought him into the world, and
by the many children who have play
ed with him, and by men and women
of the highest integrity who have
known him all his life.
After today, seeing for the first time
the child with its mother, relatives
and friends, and most attentively list
ening to the testimony of the Missis-
sippi witnesses, I make this as my
report, with full appreciation of the
responsibility involved, that in my
judgment the child exhibited today
is Robbie Dunbar.
Very truly yours,
JNO. M. JARKER

A. JONES AT THE FIRST PRES
7YTERIAN CHURCH.
The MEETING IS CONTINUED
Eloquent Divine Tells Of Fathers
inestimable Gigt To The World OF
Heavens Brightest Possession, tiis
Only Son.

The preaching of DR.. H. A. Jones at
the First Presbyterian church contin-
ues to attract large crowds and ON
Sunday the church was packed at both
morning and night services.
Owing to the interest manifested I'm
the preaching during the past few
days 1t was announced Sunday that
the meeting would continue through
today and from day to day as an
lnounced. Many who have been at
tending the services recall the tent
meeting held by DR.. Jones in this city
IN 1906, when for days hundreds filed
the large tent and listened with inter
est to his eloquence, and felt the
fervor of the preachers words.
The sermon Sunday night was on
the familiar text found in John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotton Son that who
soeVer believeth in Him might not
perish, but have everlasting life"
The speaker, who has often shown
his fondness for word painting Of
scenes of natural grandeur, described
the scene witnessed at Denver. Colo
rado Springs and other points in the
Rockies, when before the dawn of day
there suddenly comes into view way
up IN the skies a sheen of light, which
as the moments pass grows grander
and brighter until its beams reach and
pierce the sky while the sun slowly
rises above the horizon and Pixies
Peak slowly lifts its head, hoary with
age and covered with eternal SHOWS
revealing in all its magnificence the
handiwork of God; saying that but for
that sun, whose coming each day Is
heralded by that peak next the sky,
this world would in twenty-four hours
become cold, barren waste of ice.
So if God had not revealed His own
nature and shown us His love through
the person of Jesus Christ, the moral
universe would become a desolate
waste blighted by sin.
Analysing the text the speaker ap-
piled each phraze to the teaching of
the nature of Gods love, the object of
its solicitude and the purpose of its
expenditure. God $50 loved" the
world that He expended heavens rich
est treasure to redeem Man, His crea-
ture from the fall and save him from
the blighting curse of sin. Jesus
Christ the logos-the Word of God,
the message of love to man, is the
sun Of righteousness rising with heal
ing in His wing, is tender loving
Savior who comes with the pieadings
of Fathers love to call back every
wayward son to the enjoyment Of a
life of service here and of everlast-
ing bliss in the life to come. These
were some of the thoughts suggested
by the preacher in appealing to any
who had not accepted Christ to come
unto Him and find everlasting peace.
