DRUG STORES CLOSE
ON COMPROMISE PLAN
MEMBERS OF cHURcHMEN's COM
MlTTEE ARE NOT PLEASED
WITH ARRANGEMENTS.

Hattiesburg Drug Stores, according
to their agreement, were closed yes
terday from 1O:3O until 2, and at
o'clock they closed for the day.
The committee declares that no
agreement was made with them and
that they will not accept the COM
promise. They still insist that the
mayor must enforce the law according
to the advice of the city attorney
The committee has stated that it is
the duty of the police authorities to
see that the law is enforced and moi
the duty Of private citizens to furnish
the city authorities with evidence OF
law violation.
The mayor delivered his ultimatum
Saturday and since that time has had
nothing further to say.
! People who were accustomed to LOAF
around the drug stores were at a loss
what to do yesterday. They walked
up and down the streets a few times
then went off. Force of habit made 6
few stand on the corner in front Of the
customary loafing places but even that
little crowd soon melted away. Only
those who were going somewhere were
to be seen on the streets short while
after the drugstores closed for the
day.
Today there has been little discus
sion of the matter on the streets. Pres
ident Wilson's policy of "Watchfu
Waiting" is being pursued by mos
people, leaving it up to the mayor ant
the committee to do the acting.

LORD MAYOR DEMANDS
THAT B0RDERERS WITHDRAW
-Four Are Dead And Sixty Injured In
Street War in Irish CapitaI-Land-
ing Of 10000 Rifles Precipitated
Trouble Which Brought Affairs to
Crisis.
(By Associated Press.)

Dublin, Ireland, July 27.-Not until
daylight was the mob surrounding the
barracks dispersed. The Nationalists
are still incensed over yesterdays
shooting affair, in which three men
and one woman were killed by vol
ley from the Kings Own Scottish Bor
derers, and more trouble is feared.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin has de-
manded that the Scottish Borderers
be withdrawn quickly, and movements
at the barracks indicate that this is to
be done.
In addition to the four dead, more
than sixty persons were wounded,
among them women and a boy of ten
1t is probable that other deaths will
result.
The ARRAY was the result OF a gun
running exploit of the Nationalist!
volunteers, aided by a mob compose,
largely Of women and youths. A cor
signment Of rifles, said to number 10
900, was landed at noon from How'll
nine miles from Dublin, from a pr
vate yacht. The Nationalist voluI
teers cut the telegraph wires an
stopped travel on the Dublin road
and. according to reports, sent ava
most of the rifles, together with 70
900 rounds of ammunition, in moto
cars.
A battalion of the Kings own SEQ
tish Borderers was ordered to captur
the arms today when the authoritie
heard the volunteers were bringin
them into the city. The soldiers el
countered a detachment of volunteer
at Clonmel Bridge. Soon a gres
crowd collected and followed tn
troops, jeering them and cheering fc
John Redmond and home rule. Fina
ly the mob began throwing bottles an
stones, injuring several soldiers. 7
the attack the battalion replied with
| scattered fusillade. In an instant tn
t street was covered with Wounds
l while terrified men, women and chi
dren ran in all directions.

NEARLY ALL CITIES HAVE
ADOPTED SUCH A SYSTEM
Band Concerts And Ball Games Are
Planned to Furnish Afternoons En-
tertainment-Resolu Of Agree.
ment Expected to Be Circulated In
Few Days.

A Friday half-holiday from now un-
til September for the clerks in the bus
mess houses of Hattiesburg is a move
ment which has been started and
which has met with the approval of
every one approached so far, including
the clerks and the owners of the
stores.
In most cities the stores close at
one o'clock on Saturday afternoon
during the hot summer months, CIV
ing the clerks a chance to go to the
ball game or on some private excur.
sion. In a city which has as large q
country trade as Hattiesburg, however
it is not practical to close up on Sat
urday afternoon, so Friday afternoon
has been suggested.
The store keepers are practically
unanimous in favor of It, provided they
are assured that all will go into tn,
agreement and someone will not re
main open and get all the business.
The plan here is broader than sim
ply closing up on Friday Afternoon
and includes amusements at the park
for the people who are given the hol
day. Officers of the Traction Com
pany have been seen with reference t
changing the Band Concert in tn
Park from Thursday to Friday an
amateur ball games will be arrange
for that day at the ball park.
An agreement will probably be Gil
culated to be signed by the mel
chants.
