cation Office is the subject of an in
teresting article by one Of his old
colleagues. We gather that he alb
sented himself from his duties on the
ground. of illness on an average
about three days a week, and that
was how he obtained leisure for liter
airy composition. None the less he
was very anxious to retain his clerk

Roses From Italy.

The rose, so long considered the
floral emblem of England, was not
known in that country until the early
part OF the fifteenth century. Rose
trees were then brought from Italy
and planted in the royal gardens.
They were sent as presents ron the
holy father and highly esteemed by
royalty. 1t became the custom to
carve them over the doors of the con-
fessional as holy flowers, hence the
term sub rosa (under the rose) used
to mean with secrecy."-Ave Maria.

DAVIDSON SALE
ATTRACTS MANY
BUYERS
BARGAINS AT "kINe COTTON CAR
NIvAL" BRING MANY ORDERS
FROM OUT OF TOWN.

The king Cotton Carnival" in prog
ress at the Davidson Company's store,
is meeting with a response that is
most gratifying to the managers of
this store.
Not only have the ladies of Hatties-
burg gathered in large numbers at
the store-and braved threatening
clouds to do so-and grown enthusi-
astic over the counters piled high with
dainty white goods, but the orders by
mail have been unusually numerous
and prompt.
The outlook is that this sale of
white goods will surpass any previous
effort of like character ever before
attempted by the Davidson Company,
and deservedly so, for stocks were
never SO large or so well assorted
and prices are indeed reasonable.

with the peace negotiations, issued a
statement today bitterly arraigning
the European powers for their attitude
in the joint note delivered to the

What reliance can Turkey place on
the powers promise to exclude all

when Europe has just given tangible
evidence of how little her promises
are WORTH" the statement says.
Nobody could consider the Porte too
exacting, the statement says, il it

The Governor said he was unable
to decide at present just when he
would visit the canal, though he was
very anxious to go. Col. Goethals ex-
planned that he expected to fill the
canal with water next December.
AS Mr.. Wilson desires to see the
canal before it is opened it is prob
able if he makes visit it will be
before December. President Taft re-
Gently offered to place at Mr.. Wilson's
disposal battleship on which he
could make the trip before his inau-
guration, but the President-elect de
clined because he wished to see

CHURCHES PLAN TO
TAKE RELIGIOUS
CENSUS
MEETING WILL BE HELD AT THE
COURT ST. CHURCH SUNDAY
TO DISCUSS MATTER.

A meeting will be held at Court
Street church at 2:30 Sunday after
noon for the purpose of arranging a
plan for perfecting religious census
of the city. At this meeting pastors,
and other officers and
teachers in all the white churches of
the city are expected to take part.
The need of a complete religious
census of the city has long been recog-
nized, but not until the meeting of
the District Sunday School convention
here last December was there set in
motion any plan for securing it.
The object of a religious census, to
learn the name of every person in
the city and to note the church con-
nection or preference of each indi-
vidual With this information in hand
list of those expressing any church
affiliation or preference, is furnished
to the pastors of the respective
churches. With such information in
hand it is expected that each church
will use it's own methods of garnering
its own people. The ultimate inten-
tion, is if possible, to have every man
woman and child in the city, affiliated
with some church and Sunday school
The work proposed is compre
'hensive, it is also stu2endous, but il
has proven wonderfully effective III
many cities.
