PRESIDENT OF MINERAL COM
PANY DID NOT STAY LONG
AFTER BREWERS ARRIVAL.

c. F. Peterson, president of the
Louisiana Interstate Mineral Company
was in Hattiesburg Wednesday and
while here was known to have been
in private conference with a number
of parties at different hours in his
room at the Hotel Hattiesburg. One
of the parties in conference was a we'll
known Hattiesburg lawyer. All efforts
to learn the purpose of Mr.. Peterson's
visit to this city were fruitless. One
gentleman interviewed said he had
visited Peterson at his room, but that
his visit had nothing to do with the
Smith-Jasper mineral proposition
When asked by the News if he had any
thing new to give out relative to the
Governors request for his bill of par
ticulars in his charges that DR.. Lowe
is an Ananias, and an up-to-date
CRATER, Mr.. Peterson said that his
last public words on the subject were
contained in letter to the Clarion
Ledger which would appear Thursday
(today). When asked to furnish an
outline of that letter he replied al
will be in Hattiesburg till tomorrow
and will furnish the statement asked
for at one o'clock"
Saying that he was going to Jackson
to see Governor Brewer, Mr.. Peterson
was informed that the Governor had
just arrived in the city and he might
see him here. Whether he chose to
consult the states chief executive in
jackson, or preferred to avoid a per.
sonal interview with the Governor is
not known, but a sudden change OF
plans caused Mr. Peterson to cut his
Hattiesburg visit short and instead OF
staying until today his room reserya
ton at the Hotel Hattiesburg was can
celled before noon Wednesday and he
left the city.
Governor Brewer was asked if Peter
son had furnished any evidence to sus
tain his charges against DR.. Lowe ant
he replied mot yet" The Governor
said he had informed Mr.. Peterson i
he could prove his charges he woult
lgo after DIR. Lowe Just as he has gon,
after the penitentiary grafters. H,
added, however, that before he woul,
believe DR., Lowe was guilty, of an
wrong there would have to be NOR
proof than Mr.. Peterson's word.

Relief to Old Soldiers.

Gettysburg, July 3.-Although thou
sands of veterans left camp and start
ed home yesterday and last night
their going made little difference In
the appearance of the tented city.
Thousands remained today to partici-
pate in the charge" on bloody angle,
and listen to addresses in the big tent
The charge" was one of the most
impressive events of the celebration.
Men in grey, survivors of Rackett's
Division, marched across the field to
where men in blue waited with weap-
ons ready. When they met they shook
hands. Governors Tenor, of Pennsyl-
vania, McCreary. of Kentucky, and
Sulzer, of New York, were the prin-
cipal speakers today.
A roaring storm swept down out of
the Blue Ridge plateau on Gettysburg
yesterday, bringing needed relief to
the thousands of veterans in blue and
grey who have sweltered for four
days in an atmosphere dangerous in a
city of $4,000 old and weary men. For
more than an hour the rain came
pouring down on the sun-cracked and
wind swept encampment grounds. 1t

the ground that Pickett covered in '63.
It's salvos of thunder were like the
booming guns of Meade and Lee, but
the thermometer dropped with wonder
full agility and the lightning cleared the
air of its burden of humidity.
The veterans dashed down their
tents and showed they had not for
gotten the old days, for not tent was
blown over so far as reports showed
last night, and not veteran was in
jured.
Last night the veterans were really
able to enjoy themselves for the first
time since their arrival, although the
ground was slippery, the roads half
inch deep in mud.
Yesterday was military day at the
big tent but comparatively few vet
Grams appeared to listen to the speech
making and to hear the bands play
