fort to catch the democrats mapping

gress, w. N. Ive. But their secret is
out--not by leak or stealth but by a
blunder made by Editor Ledbetter of
the Huntsville Republican who seems
to have been made the campaign man
ager for Madison county. Mr.. Led
better has fallen onto kind Of end
less chain letter plan to get his men
out on election day, and in his zeal
to promote same quickly he made the
error Of mailing one Of his letters to a
staunCh democrat who promptly re-
mailed same to this paper. The letter
follows;

or make some substantial donation to
the cause. This is the second annual
observance of the kind in Missouri.
Last year 250,0o0 men worked for the

Pine Street to
Bonhon1ie to
Be Crauelled
WORK ON MODEL HIGHWAY LEAD.
ING TO CITY BEGINS
TODAY.

T. M. Thornton, contractor, today
began work on West Pine street in full
hllment of contract with the Coco
Roads Commission which calls for q
gravel surface on one side of West
Pine street in the city and on the
road as far as Bonhomie.
The completion of this contract
which will not take long with the
equipment now at work, will mean an
other model highway leading into the
city. 1t will also mean the end of a
source of much dissatisfaction and
complaint among the citizens living in
the territory served by the road. When
it is finished it will be a good road
all the way from Bonhomie to Cor.
don's creek in the city.
The contract, which will be complet-
ed with the Pine Street work. was LET
several months ago.
Work on the more recent contract
which includes the Irene Chapel road
and other work, will be taken up next.
The new contract is also in the
hands of Mr.. Thornton.
The heavy rain of yesterday did
some damage to the roads around Hat
tiesburg, but not enough to hinder
traffic. The damage which was re-
ported to the Good Roads Commits
sion and to the city officials will be
repaired as soon as possible.

Export Market Will Boom Local
Business.

The most encoura3 3ing news that ha,
been received by the lumber worlt
Y since the first outbreak of the Euro
pean war is that shipment of lumber
4 to Great Britain and the other alliet
nations has been resumed
&. The j. j. Newman Lumber Co. toda,
] shipped four car loads of lumber bount
for Belfast, Ireland, and an official OF
that company said that other export
shipments will be made at once. An
order booked for Liverpool is now be
lng made ready for shipment.
The re-opening of the entire export
trade, except that to Germany and
) Austria is thus forecasted and this
means that the financial depression
l that has Eovershadowed Hattiesburg
and S R Mississippi since the war
began MI be swept away. The in
y Il" market has not been affected
PAAgreciably by the war scare and with
the reopening of export trade, business
in this section should quickly regain
/. the normal. Many business men be-
lieve, indeed, that within the next few
weeks it will be better, than normal,
!. for the destruction by the European
war will make lumber more in demand
in Europe than it has been for some
\ time, and with transportation resumed
the volume of export lumber will be
greatly increased over the past several
, months.
The shipment made by the Newman
company today will go to Belfast in an
English bottom. 1t will be insured
at per cent, which is some higher
than normal insurance, but strikingly
| low in comparison with the Is per
cent demanded a week ago.
The sEi,ament to Liverpool by the
Newman tbRpany will be made within
day or twoy and before the last of the
month that company will resume ship
ments to Rotterdam Belgium. Thus
practically all of Europe will be open
to lumber except Germany and Austria
, The decrease in insurance rates
and, indeed, the possibility of shipping
lumber at all, is attributed directly to
the superiority of the English fleet and
the fact that the fleets of Germany
. and Austria are practically bottled up.
/, England evidently has the sea suffi-
GENTLY well policed to satisfy the in
surance companies and no matter
what progress Germany and Austria
may make on land, it will hardly be
possible, experts believe, for their
pxeets to obtain any positions that
would endanger transportation across
the Atlantic in vessels that fly the
flags of Britain or any of the other
kallied nations.

M. Arnold, the three candidates for the
circuit bench, enter the home stretch

however, that Judge Johnson will lead
the ticket today by good plurality

the further generally expressed opin-

1t seems to be the consensus of opin-

In Jones county the fight seems to

both sides stoutly claiming the ma

bined with his expected vote in For

much strength outside of Jones.
