Single Shot Ballot
Is Legal, States
Attorney Declares
ASSISTANT TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL GIVES RULING
TO BATSON.

The Single shot ballot in Missis-
sippi is permissible, is legal and may
be generally voted during the coming
primaries. This is the official infOr-
nation received today by Secretary
T. E. Batson, of the Forrest County
Democratic Executive Committee.
The authority is Lamar F. Easterling,
assistant attorney general of Mis-.
sissippi.
In a letter received by Mayor Bat
son today, Mr.. Easterling said:
Replying to your favor of recent
date, I beg to advise you that this
office has held, and I think correctly
SO, that there is no law against what
are ordinarily termed single shot
ballots" In other words, any voter
has the right, under our law as writ
ten, to single out one candidate where
two or more are to be selected for the
office, and to vote for him to the eX-
clusion of the others. |, therefore, am
of the opinion that said votes should
be counted as any other ballots"

county, about IS miles from Laurel
She went to the spring a short dis
lance from the house Sunday to get
some water and saw the negro, who
was employed on the place, nearby.
Mrs. Chrisman had filed the buck
ct and started toward the house when
the negro volunteered to carry it, She
handed it to him and as he took it he
dropped the bucket and grabbed her
around the neck. She fought as best
she could and the negro bit her on the
arm. He struck her in the face sew
eral times, knocking several teeth
out, and choked her until blood ran
from her mouth and nose.
The negro was gone when Mrs
Chrisman was discovered and the
story of her attack made known. He
was arrested soon afterward, however,
and rushed to the Laurel Jail.

Mayor Batson told the father that
he hesitated sending a boy to Jail, to
wear stripes and to work on the
streets at such an early age. There
is no reform school or house of cor
rection in this state. he said. "This
is a question difficult of solution"
He sentenced both boys to 50 days
in Jail. but suspended the sentence

A. NJ. Wills, for some time manager
of the Hotel Hattiesburg. and one of
the best known hotel men in Missis-

where, it is said, he is planning to en-
ter the moving picture field. Mr.. Wills

Mrs. Wills. He returned some time
afterwards. and since then has been
viewing several propositions in Mis-
sissippi.
From Jackson today came the fol-
lowing dispatch:
"a. NJ. Wills, for several years head

"PUI UP OR PULL
OUT" MAYOR SAYS
You've Got To Either Support or Di-
vorce Your Wife in This Town.

In Hattiesburg man either has to
get a divorce or support his wife. If
the wife doesn't suit him, he can't
just leave her to support herself with
out the courts consent. That is the
gist of Mayor Batson's action this
morning when he sentenced John
Smith, a negro, to twenty days on
the city streets for vagrancy and de-
sorting his wife.
The wife, it was proved, was sick
and needed help. John told the may
or he couldn't get job until fall and
that if he could, he wouldn't give his
wife any money if he made it because
he had not lived with her for about
five years. The mayor said that as he
had not obtained a divorce, the wom-
an had a right to look to him for sup
port while she was sick and gave him
the twenty days.

any doubt of the correctness of mp
position-a position, by the way, TAX
en- by me before it was taken by the
President-because I introduced a bill
few days after the war broke out,
the object of which the government
should purchase ships-is a political
lie made out of the whole cloth.
Indeed, I expect the bill to be con-
sidered again and possibly passed
when Congress meets. Day by Day,
as the war goes in, the necessity for
American ships will be more and more
felt. There are but two ways to get
them: one is for the government to
buy and build ships and operate them
as a war emergency measure, fully
justified cOnstitutionally and in every
other way, and the other is to subsi-
die private interest in order that they
may build or buy them at a profit
The main opposition to the govern
ment ship purchase bill arose first and
was most consistently kept up by the
private interest that wanted to be sub
sidiZed and are still hoping, because
of present great international emer-
gency, to push through a ship subsidy
bill. If the government is to support
ships bp paying money out of the
treasury, | want the government to
own the ships and have what profit
there may be in the transaction. | am
unalterably opposed now and always
have been to the extension of puDlic
credit and public moneys for the pro
lection and profit of private indus

Williams to Continue Fight
For Ship Purchase Bill
IN LETTER HATTEsBuRe SUPPORTER MssIssIPPrs
SENATOR DENIES THAT REVERSED HIMSELF ON THAT
LEesLATIoN-WILL AGAIN UP FIGHT FOR ITS
AT THE NEXT SESSION CONGRESS.

Rumors which have been quite free
ly circulated over the state to the eff
feet that Senator John Sharp Will
liams had reversed himself in his posi-
ton on the Ship Purchase bill and
would oppose the measure when it
again comes up in Congress, are prov
ed to be without foundation by a let
ter from Senator Williams to r. E.
Lee. of this city.
Mr.. Lee, who is an ardent supporter
of Mississippi's senior senator and
who has heard the report from vari-
Gus sections that Williams would OPP
pose the measure if it comes up again,
wrote to him asking if the report
were true.
Here is Senator Williams reply:

Hattiesburg, Miss.
My Dear Sir:-In answer to your
letter of the 23rd, | have the honor
to say that am more than ever of the
opinion that the administration ship
purchase bill was a good measure and
is more necessary even now than it
was when introduced and debated in
Congress. Anybody who has made a
statement to the effect that I had in
the slightest degree changed upon
that question-unless, indeed, to have
it grow stronger than it ever was
has but furnished another illustration
of the present woefully crooked state
of Mississippi politics. The fact that
we have had no ships of our own and
that as a consequence American cit
liens have been forced to travel upon
British ships and ships of other bellig-
erents has raised questions between
us and Germany which have brought
us almost, if not to, the brink of war.
Any statement that | have expressed
