Senator A. C. Anderson, president of

Senator A. G. Anderson, president of
the Senate, was governor of Mississippi
for nearly week and did not know it.
This situation was brought about by
the absence from the State of both Gov.
Brewer and Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo. Gov.
Brewer left jackson more than week
ago to attend the State encampment at
Biloxi. He remained on the Coast for a
day or SO and then left quietly for New
York and Washington. Lieut.. Gov.
Bilbo had preceded Gov. Brewer to
Washington and did not return until
Friday. Both kept their movements to
themselves, and it was not until Gov.
Brewer returned with the announce
ment that he had been out OF the State
that Senator Anderson became aware
of the fact that he had been sitting on
the gubernatorial lid and did not
know it.

That serious losses and grave peril
are involved in the almost annual over
flows of the Mississippi river into tho
fertile southern valley offers no excuse
for the contemplation of steps would
prove equally ruinousto another section.
If the people of Louisiana or other
Southern states believe they can pass
on their woes and their problems to
south Mississippi and the eastern coast
of Louisiana they are mistaken for the
people of South Mississippi, at least,
will fight to the last ditch against the
proposition of alleviating the river
situation by constructing spillways and
turning their surplus water partially
into the Mississippi Sound. Such pro-
posal is about as senseless as it would
be for man to seek to present his
neighbor with hydrophobic bull dog.
We sympathize deeply with our
friends Of the river valley in their trou-
bles and perplexities. We believe the
national government should come to the
rescue with comprehensive plan for
cooperative work to solve this prob lem
which affects one-third of the states OF
the union directly, but for making
one or two smaller and less wealthy
neighbor- sections shoulder or share
their toubles to no purpose at all-well,
we cannot see it that way.
There is no doubt whatever OF the
luminous effects such action would have
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1913-08-02

upon the fisheries and oyster interests
of the Gnlf coast and even the resort
traffic. In proof of this, we note from a
letter written by Capt. John T. Nc
Donald of Pass Christian, an old and
prominent resident of the Mississippi
Coast:
Everyone who is familiar with the
conditions that existed during the time
that Bonnet Care crevass was left open,
and for two years after it was CLOSED, !,
remembers that the waters from the
Mississippi river, flowing through Lake
Ponchartrain, thence through Rigolets
Lake Borgne and into the Missis sippi
Sound, and wherever it flowed the fish,
ing and bathing were ruined. Snakes
and alligators could be found upon the
lighthouses steps and all the shores.
1t was fully twelve years after the
breaking OF the BonneL Care crevasse
before normal conditions were re-estab-
lished along this coast, and feel quite
certain that none OF our people would
care to see our water front in sucn an
unhealthy condition again.
This is timely warning, declared the
Pass Christian Beacon which believes
that "such condition would mean the
total destruction of the oyster industry
not. only on the Mississippi coast, but
that of a large part of the Louisiana
reefs as well; it would mean the trans
formation OF our salt water sound to
mud hole of silt and slush; it would
mean the practical destruction of this
now popular and prosperous coast sec
tion as resort. There is too much at
stake for our people to remain quite in
the matter. Biloxi Herald.

Miss Elizabeth Sirola, of Kiln, Mis-
sissippi. died at o'clock Friday even
ing, July Is, 1918, at the Touro Infirm-
ary, New Orleans, La. Seldom has it
been our task to record SO sad death
as that of Miss Sirola, the young and
beautiful daughter of Capt. j. J. Sirola,
who died just one month before his
daughter.
Miss Sirola had contracted fever and
thought it best to go to New Orleans,
where she could obtain the best treat
ment from skilled physicians. She was
taken to Touro Infirmary, where she
had several of the best doctors, who
pronounced her case that of the dreaded
typhoid fever. Everything that could
be done by skilled physicians and cared
for by the best nurses that the noble
building could afford, proved of no
avail, and she was called and had to go.
Her life was rare jewel; her spirit as
gold refined in fire, ready for heaven.
These flowers are emblems of our love.
but God had hidden her welcome to that
mansion which He Himself had pre-
pared. We cannot mourn for her who
has passed to Gods Kingdom, but for
| the bereaved sisters and brothers who.
just one month ago, were robbed BY
death OF their dear father.
The funeral TOOK place from the fam
| lily residence Sunday evening, Rev.
Father Chauyin officiating, and the cor
tege, as it proceeded to the church, was
one of the largest eyer seen here. The
floral offerings, which were banked
about the white casket, were both beau
tiful and elaborate, and their number
lgreater than We remember to have ever
seen on any former like occasion.
| Peaceful be thy silent slnmbers;
peaceful in thy grave SO low, thou no
Imore wilt join our number; thou no
more our song wilt know-yet, again
we hope to meet thee when the day OF
life is lied; and in heaven with JOY to
greet thee, where no farewell tears are
| shed. a. s.

There was organized in this city this
week the r. J. Williams Land Com
pany, with r. j. Williams, w. ]. Gex
and w. G. Fowler incorporators. Cap
ital stock, $50, 10000, with par value of
shares at $t00 each.
The purpose of the new corporation,
as set out in the charter of incorpora-
tion, which appears elsewhere in this
issue of The Echo, is to purchase, own
and hold real estate; to sell, convey,
lease and improve same in every way,
including the right to build and operate
any improvements thereon, which are
not prohibited by, or opposed to, the
laws of the State of Mississippi.
The company proposes to take over
the vast land holdings of the r. j. Will
liams Lumber Company, of which
Messrs. Williams and Gex are the prin-
cipal owners, and to offer these choice
cut-oyer lands, attractiyely situated in
Hancock county, to the vast army OF
emigrants who are scattered over the
great middle-west and north, dissatis-
fed with the uncertainties of colder
weather and the shortness Of the sea-
sons and conditions in general; who
are longingly looking for land in a eli
mate OF sunshine and plenty and where
nature has generously favored the far
mer and trucker, no matter what branch
of endeayor he may wish to enter.
The r.; j. Williams Land Company,
after it's charter will have been ac-
cepted, will organize system that will
mean business. Branch Offices in the
big city centers will be established, and
travelling representatives, intelligently
equipped for their task, will at once be
set to work. 1t is proposed by the COM
pany to acquire other land besides that
to which it at present holds title, to ex-
plot the advantages Of the soil and
climate of Hancock county, to attract
the stranger and to make the illimitable
numbers of acres OF land in Hanc ock
county, which, unlike in the north and
west, the sun smiles On every day in the
year, bloom like the rose. Thousands
of people are looking for such opportu-
mites to locate and will welcome the
proposition of the r. j. Williams Land
Company with satisfaction.

CHRISTIAN At
TORN[Y PROFF[RS
TO DEFEND FEMALE

Augusta Edwards, OF New
Orleans, Who Killed Geo.
w. Riehl, and Which AT
fairs Was a Sensation of
the Week--Attorney is b.
j. Adam, Jr., Son of Pub
Usher of the Pass Christian
Coast Beacon, and Who Is
But 2I Years Of Age Has
Sympathy for Girl.
E. j. Adam, Jr., of Pass Christian, a
young attorney and son of E. j. Adam,
Sr., of the Board of Supervisors, has
volunteered to defend Miss Augusta
Edwards, the young woman in New Or
leans who a few days ago shot and killed
Geo. w. Riehl because he had wronged
her.
Miss Edwards received letter from
Adam in which he offered his legal
services. In an interview Mr.. Adam
said:
ssThe man himself was to blame. He
really invited the tragedy that fol-
lowed. The woman had a perfect right,
under sthe circumstances, to vindicate
her sex from the wild snares of an un-
principled and faithless married man.
stThe man was traitor both to his
family and TO the girl whose career and
life he blighted, and, in removing him
from society, the girl simply acted as
an agent of society. The lesson will be
of inestimable advantage to both state
and country. 1t will teach married men
to keep within their proper sphere, and
impress upon them the holy and sacred
VOW which they plighted to their wives
at the time of holy .matrimony.''
''The circumstances are such that
Miss Edwards has strong case before
any jury" said Adam, sand am sure
the woman can be acquitted if the facts
are presented in the proper manner.
HAS SYMPATHY FOR FRIENDLEss GIRL,
s.The case has strong appeal for me,
and I have a great deal nf 81 ymrathv fol
the young woman who seems to be
wholly friendless. I was first attracted
to the case by her assertions that she
was without funds, and if her case was
presented properly it would have to be
done by lawyer of the courts hoos-
ing.
aThat is the reason I wrote Miss E d
wards. told her in letter which she g
probably received Monday morning that
I sympathized with her and gladly
would take up her defense without de-
manding fee.''

COBB DENIES THAT HE
Is ASKING FOR $4,000

AUGUSTA, GA, July 15-Ty Cobb has
made formal announcement that all
statements purporting to have come from
him relative to the amount that he is ask
ing of the Detroit club for compensation
are untrue; that the amount he is asking
for concerns only him and the head of the
Detroit team, and that II would not be
right for him to be telling from one end
of the country TO the other what his terms
are.
1y says that he did not tell any news
paper man on his recent trip North that
he had demanded a salary of $4,000
year and he discussed his relations with
the Detroit club in regard to the salary
question only in general way with the
dopesters who saw him in Washington,
Philadelphia and New York.
While Ty has never stated what he
wants from Mr.. Navin, stil he says that
his terms are reasonable and that the
he is asking for.
Ty adds that the club has made good
money during the past few years and
while he does not accuse it of being the
Standard oil Company, still he does state
that Mr.. Navin can pay him the amount
he requests.

congratulations on securing the services
Of Mr., Frank L. Chance to manage your

scientious, capable manager
Any stories purporting to have come

tropolis and outside of strictly edu-
cational circles one hears Very lit
tie Of our greatest university.
But why?
Simply because Columbia has no
athletics.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn
sylvania, with half the students
and bank wad Of Columbia, are
thoroughly familiar in name, man
ners, customs, location, records and
dozen different ways to a ma
jority of the newspaper reading

Stop and reflect a moment if it isn't

Fact is, with her superior ad-
vantages In other ways, were it
not for the fact that Columbia puts
out few athletic teams Of any kind,
she would run altogether away with
the rest Of our American colleges.
1t is the free advertising that the
others get out of their athletic
teams that keeps them in sight OF
Columbia's coat tails. Isn't it?
