teeth and almost strangled her. re-
turned to Sanford last night and gave
up the search.
No clue whatever had been found
as to the negro's whereabouts and 1t
is feared he has succeeded in eluding
the hundred armed men who took up
the chase for him.
Descriptions of the negro have been
sent to all parts Of the state and it is
believed here that any further efforts
on the part of local police to locate
him would be fruitless. Sheriffs, con,
stables and policemen in all sections
of this and adjoining states, however,
have been warned to keep on the look
out for him and it is hoped he will be
located in that way.

Puruis Couple,

MRS. TONY CUNNINGHAM AND W.
(. sANDERSON, NOT SEEN
SINCE LAST FRIDAY.

Although neither the Hattiesburg
police nor the sherff's office have been
asked to cooperate in the seach, eff
forts are being made today to locate
Mrs. Tony Cunningham, wife of an
employe at Hands mill, near Purvis,
who eploped from her husband last
Friday with another mill employe, w.
E. Sanderson, also married
Neither Mrs. Cunningham nor San
desOn have been seen since last Fri
day, and there are reasons to believe
they are in Hattieburg. Mr.. Cunning
ham has already employed attorneys
to secure a divorce for him, firmly
convinced that his wife has eloped
with Sanderson.
Information from Purvis is to the
effect that Sanderson left Hands mill
Thursday night supposedly to visit
his wife at Ellisville. The next morn
ing Mrs. Cunningham met him at Pur-
Wis and the two left together on a
northbound train.
Purvis officials who are familiar
with the case say there is reason to
believe the two are in Hattiesburg,
but they decline to give their reasons
for this opinion.
Mrs. Cunningham formerly was a
Miss Beach. She is about thirty years
old and said to be pretty. She has nc
children.

g. ID. Anderson
Announces for
ChanCery Clerk
SON OF FORESTS REPRESENTA-
k TIVE MAKES eleventh HOUR i.
ENTRY INTO RACE.

Perhaps the biggest surprise in this
years political situation in Forrest
County is the announcement of G. d.
Anderson son of A. E. Anderson, and
one of the most popular young men
in the county, for the office of chan
Gerry clerk
Up until noon yesterday it was be-
lieved that Chancery Clerk Herbert
Gillis would have no opposition for
reelection, but just few hours be-
fore the time limit for candidates to
get their names on the ticket, Mr..
Anderson planked down his fee and
announced that he was in the race.
The time from now to the election
is short and it will be impossible for
the new candidate to see all of his
frineds personally, but he numbers
among his friends some of the cOun-.
tvs most influential citizens and with
their active assistance he is sanguine
over his prospects at the polls on
August 3.
Mr.. Anderson is a Forrest county
product He was born. reared and
educated in Hattiesburg and has
spent the entire twenty-seven years of
his life here He attended the public
schools of the county, then went to
Mississippi College for one year and
completed his education with a two
years course at the Normal College.
Although a young man, and al
though he has never before asked the
voters for political recognition, Mr..
Anderson has had considerable ex-
perience as a public servant, and it
has been experience qualifying him es-
pecialIy for the duties of the office he
now seeks. He served one year as
deputy chancery clerk when T. E. Bat
son was chief in that office and he
spent one year as deputy tax assessor
under w. S. McKinnon.
81 am in favor of reducing the fees
of the chancery clerk so as to allow
the people to share in the profits of
the office" declared Mr.. Anderson to-
day, "and if elected to the position |
will still be in favor of this fee reduc-
ton. There is no doubt that the fees
collected in the office now are entirely
too high and | promise that, if elect
ed, l will use my influence to bring
about a reduction.
Il am no politician Mr.. Anderson
race entirely on my friends. If the
voters of the country see fit to place
me in this office l will execute it's
duties to the best Of my ability and l
will select my deputies from home
men and not go out of the county for
them.
For the rest, all care to say is
that l am a son of E. A. Anderson,
Representative from Forrest county in
the last legislature, and author of the
ten-hour law for working girls and the
twice-a-month payday / stand for
the same principles of government my
father has so long stood for and
worked for
While the new candidate does not
hope to be able to see all of the peo-
pie in the county between now and the
election, he is starting out today to
make an aggressive campaign and de-
clares he has already received much
encouragement from the vcters re has
talked to.
