THEIR AUTO IN MUD,

Hattiesburg Folks Marooned Three
Hours on McLauirn Road.

The automobile in which they were
driving stuck in the mud for three
hours on the McLaurin pike, nine
miles from Hattiesburg last night. and
Marion G. Field Mrs Field and
their baby had a narrow escape from
having to spend the entire night in
the open, several miles from the near
est residence.
They returned to Hattiesburg about
midnight, somewhat tired out, and
rather muddy, but none the worse for
their adventure
Mr.. and Mrs. Field had motored to
McLaurin, and were on the return
journey, when one of the inner tubes
OF the automobile in which they were
riding, blew out. The tire was remov-
ed, and an effort to come on into Hat
tiesburg with the rim of one wheel
exposed, was made. The party made
good progress until a short stretch of
road being repaired was reached.
When the machine struck this, it
stuck. The driver, Mr.. Field Mrs.
Fields, and the Little Fields all begged,
coaxed, fused at and pleaded with
the machine to move on. But it avail
ed them nothing. After prizing at the
automobile for some time, 1t looked as
II it would be necessary to spend the
night there. Mr.. Field gathered some
pine sticks, started a fire, and the
party surrounded this, seating them
selves on the ground. The fire re-
stored their spirits, and again they
went to work on the machine. At the
end of three hours they succeeded in
getting it out of the mud hole. Mr..
Fields said that during the three hours
spent there, not a man, woman, or
child, passed that otherwise mucn
Travelled thoroughfare.

tins of the didn t-know-it-was-loaded
guns yesterday when the small son of
Elijah Lee 81 farmer living six miles

from 30 caliber rifle, entered the
childs brain. Death occurred within
a few hours.
Mr.. Lee had loaded the gun prepara-

where the children found it. The boy
said he did not know his father had
loaded the rifle, and when he pointed
it at his sister and she fell to the
earth, he was greatly surprised.

the logical sequence in the interrup

Britain's command Of the sea, both

that the war with Germany is a war

The speaker, who is making a series

DR.. Dernburg told Of the situation in
Germany, where about 70,000,000 peo-
pie are living in a territory not larger
than California, which means, he said,
about 35 Germans to one Californian

Fho political pot which was set
seething yesterday by the announce
meAts OF a. E HARRISON for re-elec-
tion rs sheriff and II. X. McLemore
lot circuit clerk, gained additional heat
To-Day when another candidate for each
or these Offices made formal entry
into the race.
T. ]. Nixon, for sixteen years circuit
clerk of Forrest county, authorized
The News to again place his name be.
fore the people for that position, and
Barney Doherty one of the best
known criminal officers in the county
authorized his announcement for sher.
iff
Neither Of these announcements
comes as a surprise to their
friends, and both of them have many
friends. Mr.. Nixon has declared for
some time that he would be candi-
date for reelection and Mr.. Doherty
has also been circulating his candi-
dacy personally for several months.
Tom Nixon has been one of the
strongest political factors in the coun-
ty for more than a score of years. He
entered the political arena at an early
age, serving as deputy sheriff for seven
years under both the McCallum and
Bradley administrations.
Held Many Positions.
His excellent service in this capaci
ty won for him his election as sher-
if, which position he held the full
term of four years. At the expiration
of this term he announced his candi-
dacy for mayor of Hattiesburg, and
again was successful.
After serving the city as mayor for
two years, Mr. Nixon was elected to
the position he now holds, and when
his present term is up he will have
been circuit clerk of Forrest county
for sixteen years. He probably has
as large a following of friends as any
man in the county, and these friend
ships have been made by competent
and painstaking attention to his Off
cial duties.
Record as Criminal Catcher.
Barney Doherty's announcement for
the sherif's office comes as a natural
sequence to his gradual though steady
ascent in the ranks OF an expert Grim
inal officer. He has served the peo-
pie of this county for many years in
minr capacities and now asks that
his services be rewarded by the most
lucrative position within their gift.
Mr.. Doherty was born in Ireland.
He came to this country at the age Of
sixteen, and made straight for Hat
tiesnurg, where his brothers had pre-
ceeded him. With the exception of
five year in his early life, which he
spent in tie mercantile business and
in farm inr in Jasper county, he has

The closing days of tax pay ing at the Collectors in Claren- don are attended by the usual rush. If any different from other years the rush n d scramble to pay taxes just be- fore the 10th is greater this year than ever before, attributable to the existing hard times which has caused a great many to post pone this important matter un- til the last minute.
 Sheriff Milwee says his mail is unusually heavy just now and that it will be impossible for him to reply to all inquiries received until after the 10th. Parties that have sent in their remit tances or otherwise made ar- engagements to have their taxes paid need not worry if their re- ceipts do not reach them until after the 10th. Every inquiry will be answered and receipts mailed out at the earliest possible moment.
