ADELE BLOOD GETS
A DIVORCE DECREE
NAME OF GOVERNOR BREWER

She is suing her husband, Frederick
Esmelton Bryant, for divorce. Bryant
is also suing his wife. Davis had filed
counter suit, but by the courts de-
cree he loses it.
Although Governor Brewers name
has been prominently mentioned in
connection with the Adel Blood di-
vorce suit, he was not in any way con-
nected with the proceedings, nor was
his name used in either the original
bill of complaint or the cross bill.
The use of the governors name re-
suited from the activity of one of his
personal friends, Ira Sample, Chi
cago lawyer-detective, who volun
teered his services to Miss Blood after
the divorce proceedings was filed
| Several months prior to the suit Miss
Blood was in Jackson as leading WON
an with the Every Woman" Com
pany. Ira Sample was at that time
guest at the executive mansion. After
the performance he invited Miss

Pullman Company of Chicago May
Secure the Building Awards.

The lumber to be used in the con-
struction of 10000 freight cars for the
use of the Imperial Russian Govern
ment in all probability will be sup
piled by the big mills of Forrest coun-
ty and this section of Mississippi.
Contract for the construction of this
enormous number of cars it is believ-
ed, will be let in Chicago to the Pull
man company within few days. In
quiries from this organization have
been received by Hattiesburg lumber
interests, and rock-bottom figures are
being given the Chicago company on
construction material 1t is believed
that certain mills in this part of Mis-
sissippi will be able to supply the tim
ber for the cars at figure impossible
for other manufactures to touch.
This is the largest single order for
railroad equipment ever let in the
United States, and so far as this part
of the country is concerned, it will be
the most important transaction which
has resulted thus far from the utter
upset of business in Europe.
The contract, should it be let, will
call for the building at the earliest
possible moment of 10000 freight
cars. The total contract will be be
tween $25,OOO,0OO and $30,000,000 If
the contract is finally signed-and il
is expected that the matter will be
settled within the next few days

The contract is said to have beer
