AUTO PLUNCES

Passengers Saved, But ConsId-
cred Remarkable They Were
Not Drowned.

Moss Point, Miss, June 5-An
automobile party came near having
a fatal accident Friday afternoon
when the car driven by Mrs. George
W. Bowen, and in which there
were six or seven passengers, ran
into Dog river. All the passengers
escaped with their lives and without
injury, but it is remarkable some Of
them were not drowned.
The means of going between this
rlace and Escatawpa is by a terry.
After the automobile was on the
ferry the engine of the auto stopped.
1t was found that the machine was
not far enough on the ferry, and
someone attempted to roll the ma
chine, when the engine started up
and before anyone could stop it the
machine with its occupants was in
the water. There were two very
small children who went overheard
with the automobile, in water about
twelve feet deep. The auto was
removed from the river.

The deadlock existing between
Williams and Vardaman on the ques-
ton ofFederal appointments.in Miss
issippi is a source of genuine re.
gret to the people of this State, ire.
spective of partisan alignments, re-
marks the Magnolia Gazette.
1t was hoped that when these dis
tinguished gentlemen began to jointly
represent Mississippi in the United
States Senate, they would forget
their previous antagonism and per-
sonal animosity and not allow it to
interfere with the splendid and ef-
fective service each is so capable of
rendering.
During his visit here last week !,
Congressman Quinn made this COM
ment on the deadlock between Vard-
aman and Williams:
"Senator Vardaman, in order to
avoid any delay in having Federal
positions filled in Mississippi, about
three weeks ago addressed letter
to Senator Williams, offering to, ad-
lust the matter and solve the question
by giving Williams his choice Of
either the entire Northern or South
em district of Mississippi, to have the
absolute right to name all Federal
appointees, except, of course, the
postmasters, which appointments
belong to tine Congressman in their
respective Congressional districts,
and that up to the time of leaving
Washington, last THURSDAY night,
Senator Vardaman had received no
reply to this letter"

pastor Of the First Bapti1t Church d
this city, it IS learned 4pat leading
Baptists Of this state have been in
communication with him relative to
the establishment of IA summer
encampment ground here. If the
plan materializes it will probably be
a tri-state affair, as Alabama and
Louisiana will probably join in the
proposition. ys
The matter will not be definitely
decided until the coming convention
al meetings. The Mississippi con-
vention Of Baptists will take place in
November at Columbia, Miss, at
which time the matter will be defn-
itely decided by the Mississippians
interested. However, from the
propositions made to him, the in
terest which the question is arousing
and the sympathy with which the
plan is meeting, there seems no
reason why Biloxi should not succeed
in getting it.
Biloxi already has one big denom-
national gathering place Of this sort,
that Of the Methodists at the Sea-

breezes as gentle reminder of the
strife and struggle to preserve it; in
time OF war it is a rallying point Of
those who are to defend it.
To prevent small piece of bunt-
ing from falling into alien hands,
millions of noble and patriotic soldiers
have given up their lives. The
sentiment embodied in it has made
brave men of towards and demi-gods
Of the truly valorous.
THE Stars and Stripes is the flag
of reunited country. Its every
thread has been dyed in the blood
Of patriots, it floats today over ninety
million freedom-loving people; it is
the emblem of nation yet in its
infancy, but whose giant strides
have been the wonder of the world"

HAT RAISING INDUSTRY
Is NOW PROPOSED

Prof O. H. de Lamorton and his
bonnet gourd hat were in town Mon
day. Laine's well known inventor,
manufacturer and experiment station
conductor, states his manager in
Japan bought the hat in Yokoham a
for 81 and it cost S4 to get it here.
The real cost of the hat, he says. is
so cents, which shows what profit
could be made out of raising the
material and making hats and bath
spongeS out of it here, where it can
be grown just as well as in Japan.
He says this means another industry
for the Gulf Coast.
