The capture of a desperate burglar,
horse-thief and jail-breaker, wanted
in Perry county on two charges, and
convicted there of the third was
made by Oscar Estes, engineer of the
Hattiesburg fire department, late last
night, and this afternoon the criminal
will be returned to New Augusta,
heavily manacled and hand cuffed,
and placed in the jail from which he
broke Friday night.
For the risk he took in arresting
the man, unarmed, Estes will receive
$50 reward.
The man, Earl Harris, a negro,
made his escape from the Perry coun-
ty Jail. stole a horse from ]. M. Gil
lis, who lives in New Augusta, and a
saddle from another citizen of that
county: rode into Forrest, and helped
himself to the buggy and harness be-
longing to G. Burkette, living two
miles from Hattiesburg. He was driv-
ing through Hattiesburg late last
night as rapidly as the tired horse
could travel. when he was halted by
Estes, placed under arrest, and lock-
ed ND in the county Jail. The arrest
and jailing of the negro was done in
very short time. Estes said it had
to be. as he had no pistol, and dia

THAT'S WHY NEW SUPPLY is
NECESSARY FOR THE M'CAL-

Because a tiny, insignificant little
cork, placed in bottle of ink, misbe
haved and wouldn't stay where 1t was
put, all the nice white ballots to be
marked by the voters of McCallum
on tomorrow, were besmudged ana
ruined on Saturday, and today the
Democratic Executive Committee had
to do some hurrying around to have
additional ones struck off for the elec-
ton.
The ballot boxes and the ballots
were sent to the 16 voting precincts
Friday and Saturday. All reached
their destination safely except those
for McCallum. When the election
managers opened the box, they found
that the tickets had been ruined by
the flowing ink. They communicated
with members of the committee, and
DR.. Donald, the chairman, and L. e.
got busy to have new ones printed
They were sent to McCallum this aft
ernoon.

GERMAN ANSWER SCHEDULED
State Department Has Decided to Let

ernment Not Sure of Conditions Un-

Was Sunk.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 23-Official
announcement was made at the White
House this afternoon that ''as soon as
all the facts regarding the sinking OF
the White Star liner Arabic are escer-
tanned, our course of action will be de-
termined."
The announcement was given out
by Secretary Joseph Tumulty after a
conference with President Wilson.
Secretary of State Lansing today
cabled to American Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin asking if the German
government had received the official
report of the sinking of the Arabic.
The Ambassador, however, was not
instructed to ask for one.
1t was stated that the American
government is not yet at all sure OF
the facts surrounding the loss of the
vessel and the lives of neutrals, in
cluding two Americans, and considers
its information fragmentary.
The Inference is drawn here that
the State Department has decided to
let the German government initiate
any explanation it may have to offer.

The curtain will ring down tonight
on the 1915 Mississippi political cam
paign, and this, the last day before
the second primary, finds nearly every
candidate for State and county office
more than glad that the end has come
At o'clock tomorrow morning,
throughout Forrest county AMI
throughout the entire State, the ballot
boxes will open, and the second lap
of the 1915 campaign will come to
an end nine hours later.
The intense excitement that chara"-
teriZed the last day before the first
primary three weeks ago, is missing
today. The several candidates are
making one last appeal to the voters,
are giving one last hand-shake, and
so far as Forrest county is concerned,
the campaign will be brought to an
end by sundown.
However, mass meeting will be
held at the Court House tonight at s
o'clock, when most of the aspirants
will be in attendance, and will in
formally speak in favor of their respee-
tive causes.
There are 16 voting places in For

of the Democratic Executive Corlmit-
