tell me that IL did accept this offer
and carry it out the Senate would
help me out, but if l did not agree
to this settlement 1t would be war to
the knife. i asked Mr.. Arnold If this
was the correct message that Senator
Donald had sent to me, and he replied
that 1t was. then told him to go
and tell Senator Donald for me that
the proposition was fatty declined;
that | had nothing to do with cases
pending in court; that would not
be party to trafficing in Legislation,
confirmation or appointment Of judges
or trafficing in any case pending in
any criminal court.
Secondly. About this time Hon.
Sidney McLaurin, distinguished law
yer of Brandon. Mississippi. came to
see me and stated to me that J. M.
McBeath, attorney for Bilbo in the
bribery case, had requested him to
say to me that If would have the
Bilbo bribery case dismissed Bilbo
would have( all my judicial appoint
ments confirmed and have appropria-
lions made to pay all the money l
had borrowed and pay all claims of
the Burns Detective Agency and sup
port my administration all the way
through, but that II did not agree to
have the case dismissed, my appoint.
ments would not be confirmed, the
appropriation would not be made to
pay the money borrowed by me or pay
the claims Of the Burns Agency, and
that the Legislature would embarrass
my administration. l was informed
by Mr.. McLaurin that this proposition
was made by Bilbos attorney and that
Bilbo knew it was being made and
wanted my answer thereto and many
other things were discussed in the
proposition. I thereupon emphatically
declined to traffic in any judicial ap
pointments, any legislation or in the
trial of any criminal case.
81 will state also that the message
came to me from several other
sources that it is not necessary here
to mention.
81 hope the foregoing message is
sufficiently plain for you to under
stand upon what authority | made the
statement in my letter to Mr.. Pitt
man. Very respectfully,

state primaries this week and two
weeks hence the Alabama primaries
will decide whether Underwood or
Hobson will be sent to the senate. At
the same time Alabama will choose a
short-term senator
OF the Democrats whose terms will
expire one of the most notable is
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who expects
to return. Gore, of Oklahoma, also
expects reelection, though he has a
hard fight on his hands. Another
Democrat who will seek reelection is
Senator Newlands of Nevada. He Is
popular in his state, but whether he
can win out in general primary re-
mains to be seen. Senator Chamber
lain, of Oregon appears to have good
chance to return. although a number
of opposition candidates are already
in the field.
According to reports received the
path for reelection will not be alto
gether a smooth one for Senators
Sherman of Illinois, Shively of Indi-
ana, Stone Of Missouri, Jones of Wash
ington. Dillingham; of Vermont or
Gronna of North Dakota.
The other members of the United
States senate whose terms will ex'
pire next March and the majority OF
whom appear reasonably sure Of re-
election are F. B. Brandegee of Con
necticut, j. R. Thornton of Louisiana
C. s. Thomas of Colorado, Coe l. Craw'
ford of South Dakota. Reed Smooth OF
Utah, D. w. Fletcher of Florida, NJ
A. Smith of Arizona, Lee S. Overman
Of North Carolina, ]. w. Smith Of
Maryland, G. c. Perkins Of California
and e. d. Smith Of South Carolina.
The present membership Of the SEN
ate stands 81 Democrats, 40 Republi.
sans, and 1 Progressive. The cleo
tions of senators to take place this
year will not detract from the Demo
cratic majority, and, in fact, may add
one or more to the voting strength.

FERGUSON WINS

CHANCELLOR STEVENS RULES HE
Is ENTITLED TO LAND GIVEN
As MORTGAGE.

Chancellor ]. Morgan Stevens has
decided In favor Of complainant in
the suit Of Sid ]. Ferguson VS.. Miss
Estelle ellis ct al.
This suit was to confirm deed to
the undivided two-thirds interest OF
Mrs. Ella ellis Durham and Miss
Estelle ellis to certain lands adjoin-
ing this city, which were conveyed
by a deed under Louisiana form to
secure note given by J. r. Durham,
husband of Mrs. Ella Durham, now de-
ceased, and brother-in-law of Miss
Estelle ellis.
Defendants, who were represented
by Tally & Mayson, contended that the
deed was void for lack of considera-
ton, either to Miss ellis or Mes. Dun
ham. because the note sued on was
given by ]. R. Durham in an effort to
restore to the complainant partner
ship. money, which had been lost. =.
The court ruled in accordance with
the contentious of Sullivan & Conner,
compliments attorneys, that the deed
was an equitable mortgage and that
Ferguson is entitled to a foreclosure
of the lien upon the interest of Miss
ellis and that of the five minor chill
dren of Mrs. Durham deceased. This
case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court. -~ 49,, st7.

ANDREWS REVIVAL
CAMPAIGN begins
ARKANSAS EVANGELIST OUT
LINES MANNER OF CONDUCT
ING FUTURE SERVICES.

The Andrews evangelistic campaign,
fostered by the three Methodist con-
gregation of Hattiesburg, began last
night at Main Street Methodist
church. A large platform had been
constructed to accommodate the choir
of 100. Mesdames ]. E. Thomas and
Arthur j. Grove accompanied the
singers at two pianos, assisted by
Master Courtney Zeran's cornet.
Rev. John B. Andrews, of Arkansas,
preached from the 4th chapter of
Paul's second epistle to Timothy. His
discourse was in the nature of a
declaration of the policy and practice
which control the preacher in his
meetings and was doubtless meant to
indicate to the people present the
kind of sermons they are to hear if
they attend these meetings.
The text was Preach the Word. in
Season and out of Season." He said
plain preaching of the Word of God will
always produce results. He likened
the duty of the preacher to that of the
surgeon. When he hurts, let it be to
heal. He declared he does not preach
Tor praise. That he had seen ccngre-
cations who wanted sweet words. To
such he thought it would be more APP
propriate and perhaps satisfy them
Just as well If. instead of preaching
the Word, he would feed them on
sweetened milk.
The audience for a first night was
good.
1t was announced that until Sunday
there viii be no service in the morn
ing. and none Saturday night. Thurs
day and Friday nights services will
begin at 1880 o'clock.
A feature Of the service was the
skillful manner In which Mrs. Thomas
performed upon the piano. Her rem.
dering of THE Chimes" as as offer.
tory was especially pleasing.
