Democrats Not
Enemies of Any
Buciness-- Wilson
PRESIDENT DECLARES 1T is UN-
FAIR TO so REGARD RULING
PARTY.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, July S.-Declaring it
to be unfair to regard the Democratic
party as an enemy of big or little
business, President Wilson today gave
out statement in support of Paul
Warburg, of New York, and Thomas
D. Jones, of Chicago, his nominees for
the federal reserve board.
''It would be particularly unfair to
the Democratic party and to the Sen
ate itself to regard it as an enemy OF
business, big or little," the statement
says. "I am sure 1t does not regard
a man as an object of suspicion mere.
ly because he has been connected
with great business enterprises"
The President said those who have
tried to make big business what it
ought to be are men to be encour-
aged and honored whenever they re-
spond without reserve to the call of
the public service. The President
said he was urging Warburg to accept
the nomination. He is confident that
Jones will accept.

More than two hundred members
of Leaf River Camp No. 2S, Woodmen
Of the World, assembled in their new
hall in the Kennedy building last
night. 1t was the first meeting since
the consolidation of the two local
camps and it was the first meeting in
the Kennedy building, which the Wood
men have purchased for $4,000.
Stokes V. Robertson made the dedi-
catory speech in happy manner. He
| especially comphmented the building
committee on it's work, declaring it
had purchased a $4,000 piece of prop
erty for $4,000 on terms that are so
easy that the rent for the lower floor
will pay for it.
The combined camp, he said, could
do much more effective work than
could the two camps separately 1--WE

forth, until death us do part, there
will be no parting In the ecstacy of

sion, and enters the new. But to stand
still is to stagnate. We cannot stand
still. We will not stagnate. Ever on
ward is our motto. AS this hall is
broader that the one we left, I think
! the soul of woodcraft is brpadened and
its charity and brotherly love made
wider"
Claude Hill responded to an invita-
tion to speak with brief talk about
the principles of woodcraft and the
good the two lodges in Hattiesburg has
done in the past. He said the combin-
ed lodge was the second largest in the
state and that he believed it would not
be long until it becomes the largest.
He congratulated those responsible

camps and said he thought it meant
greater things for local woodcraft.
DR.. Lyons, of Heidelberg, clerk of
Camp No. 80, told of his several years
experience as a chopper. Other men,
bers responded with brief addresses.
Cigars and lemonade were served and
the occasion will be long remembered
in the annals of Hattiesburg's wood
craft.

the Movement, But Voluntary Clos.
ing on the Part of the Drug Stores
Mayor is Hands of.

On Saturday night it wVdid be ad-
visable to lay in a stock of cigars
enough for one days supply 1t might
be we'll to purchase "dopes" in bot
ties and take them home and put them
on ice because on next Sunday the
lid is to be clamped down so tight that
even soda water and cigars will not
leak through.
The drug stores have entered into
an agreement whereby they will close
Saturday night and remain closed un-
til Monday morning, including fountain,
cigar stand and even the prescription
counter.
The action was brought about by a
protest which was originated in the
older mems Bible class of the Main
Street Methodist Church, and was join
ed by large number of other laymen.
The committee from the Bible class
did not threaten the druggists with the
law but called attention in a set Of
resolutions which were printed in The
News to the state law and the ordi-
nance which forbid that stores be open
ed on Sunday.
The druggists took the hint and yes
terday afternoon at meeting, attend
ed by the committee and representa-
f1,n Oh
gists were ready to sign the agreement
to remain closed all day Sunday. The
meeting was presided over by H. S.
Stevens, in whose office it was held.
The laymen who attended the meeting
were: T. S. Jackson, ]. A. Mcleod, R.
c. Hauenstein, j. c. Ballard, T. B..
Geiger, H. c. Clark and the Rev. e. d.
Solomon.
A committee was appointed to wait
on the mayor and the sheriff asking
that they render formal notice on the
druge :. .Sthat the Sunday closing law
will be enforced. This request came
from the druggists because they want
some authority for going against
long established precedent of selling
"dopesS and cigars on Sunday morn
ing.
The mayor has been strictly hands
off throughout the whole matter He
has left it to be decided by the drug
gists and the Sunday school classes.
If the drug stores remain closed on
Sunday, Hattiesburg will be one OF the
tightest cities in the country on Sun
day.
The committee from the Sunday
schools say that they are anxious that
the impression that Hattiesburg Is en-
forcing the Blue Law should not De
spread abroad. They say it is volun-
tary agreement, entered into by the
drug stores at the instance OF the
Sunday schools of the city.
