Dedham, Mass, Oct. N.-George Fred
Williams, who was free silver Democrat
and supporter OF w. ]. Bryan, consid-
ers his selection by President Wilson as
Minister TO Greece as a recognition Of
those who have been followers of true
Democracy" rather than a personal trib-
ute.
MIR. Williams expressed pleasure at the
possibility of residence in Greece as he
had long been a student Of Athenian de-
mocracy, and believed the diplomatic mis-
sion would present an opportunity to ex-
tend his studies.

Over a Million Is
Estimated Cost of
International Race

James NJ. Marlborough, we'll known
to every yachting enthusiast on the
bay as the donor of the MacDonough
gatta, is at present in the city and
has some interesting data on the COM
ing series for the America cup to be
sailed in New York next summer.
Marlborough is member of the
New York Yacht club and with H. de
b. Parsons and Frederick o. Speden
forms the regatta committee of the
big institution. This committee will
have practically the handling of the
international race on behalf of the
club.
The eastern yachtsman points out
that the coming race is going to cost
considerably more than $1,000, 900.
This amount, of course, covers the ex-
penses of both challenger and de-
fender. Lipton's expenses are borne
by him personally and will run into
nearly $500. 900 before he is through
with the race.
The expenditures for the American
defending yachts. which are now be-
ing built, will be considerable and
are borne by various organizations.
Inree boats are pelng Dullt now by
different syndicates at a cost of about
| $500. 900 each.
Besides these expenses a fleet of
tenders has to be chartered to wait on
the defender and patrol boats have to
be on duty on the course. These
boats cost the New York Yacht club
about $500 per day and at the last
series of races they were on duty for
about three weeks.
| Marlborough points out that since
| the last race the wireless has come
| into practical use and this will greatly
| reduce the expense of reporting the
races for the various papers. Pre-
vious TO the wireless the expense of
speed boats, lookouts and telegraphs
from various points was enormous,
but the wireless will greatly reduce
| this cost as well as giving better
service

A LTHOUGH he is said to have
~ had dificulties with Hugo
Mcintosh and other Austria
liam promoters, Burns apparently
looks with great favor upon the
land of the kangaroo as a stamp
ing ground for his white hope.
Tommy knows every angle of that
game over there and there is no
doubt that he would be able
to do more than any other man
ager there.
~ URNS got his start to fame in
n Australia. although it was
there that he lost the heavy
weight crown to Jack Johnson on
December 26, 1908, or just five
years ago. The loss of that crown
enriched him TO the extent of
$4,000 for that battle, and 1t is
said that before and after that
time the wiley Tommy's cleanup
amounted to more than 100000.

VYTHAr a fortune would be in
w store for Pelkey If he
should happen to get away
with Smith and invade Australia.
With such a shrewd handler as
Burns behind him he could clean
up that country from one end to
the other and then come back
here or make the trip to Europe
a bigger card than ever. The
outlook Is bright for Pelkey IL he
wins.
EVERYBODY knows that white
hopes are scarce the world
over, but they are especially
scarce in Australia. Dave Smith
is heralded as the champion Of
that country, having defeated Bill
Lange, and Eddie McGoorty, one
of our own middle weights,
knocked out this champion in one
round back In New York. What
a fine champion Smith must be.
n x X
YvYE don't know much about the
w fighting ability of Pelkey.
but we feel convinced that
he ought to clean up fighter like
Smith In jig time. Then the rest
would be easy for him. He could
stall around. strut out In front of
the footlights and gather in that
soft fodder. But. as we have re-
marked before. he must bowl the
Gunner over first.

YIM BUCKLEY seems to be stuck
on the idea OF sailing across
= the Atlantic with Smith and
sending his man against those
three smokes-Jack Johnson, Sam
Langford and Joe Jeanette--fn
any of the capitals of the old
world where they will stand for
such exhibitions. This Is Buck

Memphis, Tenn, July 4.-An all

The robbery was affected without a
single shot being fred by the bandits.
The latter dynamited the safe in the
express car, but the safe collapsed in
such way that only part OF its con-
tents could be removed.
The men first made their appearance
when they crawled over the tender
into the engine just as the train
reached the Tallahtchie bridge. Gov

a colored fireman, named Foster, with
their revolvers, they ordered the
former to stop the train. The fire.
man was then compelled to uncouple
the baggage, mail and express cars

by the explosion, the bandits ran the

tion of some ten or fifteen thousand
dollars to erect a public building in
Ellisville? We understand that the
Congressman who proceeded Mr..
Harris from this district stated that
he would have but little trouble in
securing such an appropriation, and
was in d fair way to do SO. We call
now on our present efficient Congress
man to make good and start work to
secure our town Government build
ing, such as other places of our
population ard business have. Ellis
vile does not intend to be kept longer
in the background, and intend to
make its claims and demands known.

going to stick to men who stands by
their county town and does it justice.

to our town. Ellsville will be made

are now formulating to erect here a
large crate and basket factory and
ice plant. Our people do not intend
to play second fiddle to either Laurel
or Hattiesburg, but demande full
share OF all the good things going.
We have kept our lights hid under a
bushel too long already. We would
like to have Congressman Harris
start to work TO secure our city a

Laurel Triples Size In Three
Years.

Laurel, Miss, July THE rapid
growth of Laurel is indicated by the
street tax collections. Up to July
/, 1852 street tax receipts had been
issued and the books will not be
closed until Dec. l. The total col
lections for last year aggregated
only 1874. For 1911 the number was
1904 and in 1910 1853. This indicates
that Laurel is three times as large as
in 1910, when the census placed the
population at 5000
