SOUTH'S PRODUCTION CONSE
QUENTLY RECEIVES BOOST
BY LATEST ORDER.

Another boost to the cotton pro
ducing industry has been given by the
United States government, in decid
ing that cotton flags in the future,
shall float over the public buildings
of the country, and from the flag
other vessels of the Treasury Depart
ment.
Dispatches from Washington today
tell of the tests which have just been.
completed by the Treasury Depart
ment with flags made of Southern
cotton instead of imported bunting.
These have proven the cotton flags
more serviceable. durable, and eco
nomical than the wool bunting.
Thousands of dollars a year are in
vested by the United States govern
ment and by individuals, in flags A
greater part of this money has gone
abroad to pay for bunting. In the fu-
ture this should eventually reach the
pockets of the South's cotton growers
and manufacturers.

West Point, Miss, May 2O.-The
Mississippi Press Association will
meet next year at Clarksdale.
After the hardest fight in the his
tory of the association, the Delta City
won over Hattiesburg, Laurel and
Greenville. Hattiesburg ran a close
second. The Laurel delegation had
posed throughout the fight as friend
of the Hub City for second place, but
at the last minute, the envious jeal-
ousy of the Jones county lumber town
of the South Mississippi metropolis
got the better of their pledges, and
Mott Ayres, editor of the Laurel
Leader, arose and cast the entire
strength of Jones county for Clarks-
dale.
With Laurels vote, Hattiesburg's
victory would have been easy.
The officers elected were: Presi-
dent, James Faulks Leakesville Her

William Smith, West Point Times;

DENOUNCE MRS. EDDY
AND PASTOR RUSSELL
SAYS BOTH PER
VERT TEACHINGS OF THE
BIBLE.

Two good congregations assembled
at the Main Streets Methodist Church
last night and this morning to hear
the sermons of the Rev. Dan E. Kel-
ley, the evangelist.
At the night service the preacher
took for his text But if We walk in
the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sim" He show
ed the necessity of making Jesus
Christ and His atonement as set forth
in the Bible the center of faith and
salvation; that without the shedding
of blood there was no remission of
sin in this world or that which is to
come. He declared that many false
teachers have spruag up who are at
tempting to do away with the suffer
ing and blood of Glrist as unneces
sary and as not censistant with a
mercifuI God, but tlat they were not
teaching the Word of God but lead
ing men and women to sin and eternal
ruin, declaring that the hell question
would be settled only when the sin
question was settled as God required,
that is by faith in the blood of
Jesus Christ to cleanse from all sin.
Christ, who was and is equal with
God, came in the form of sinful flesh,
suffered the death OF the cross, anG
for sin condemned sin in the flesh
that all who believed in Him-and
none other-shall By-saved.
The preacher strongly denounced
higher criticism in its effort to take
away from the Word of God the
bloody atonement, he vigorously ar
raigned RusselIism and Eddyism for
perverting the teachings of the Bible
so as to destroy it's vital power, de-
claring that anything that offered
false substitute for the blood of
Christ, which alone can cleanse from
all sin, was deceptive and snare of
the devil. That such teachings left
men and women in their sins, deceiv-
ing them and finally leading them to
eternal ruin.
Practically the entire congregation
to the proposition made at
the close of the sermon. 1t was the
general opinion that last nights SER
mon was the strongest of the many
good ones preached by the evangelist

Cincinnati, o., May 20.-One of the
strange life dramas that occasionally
build themselves from the dramas of
the films was enacted in Cincinnati
several days ago when A. A. Camp
bell, efficiency engineer for local
gas and electric company, sat and
watched a woman whom he identified
as his missing wife step from the
steamer La Lorraine at Havre,
France. She was with a company of
war nurses.
Until he viewed her on the film,
Campbell had not seen his wife for
more than year. Over and over
again the film was stopped, rewound
and the particular scene which show

while her husband sat speechless. 1t
was his first intimation of her where

Mississippi.

There is not a state in the Union
which offers such remarkable Oppor-
tunities as a field for investment as
Mississippi
This is the candid opinion of
Champ Clark, speaker of the House
of Representatives, and one of the
foremost of the country's political
leaders.
Speaker Clark is so firm in his opin-
ion that he is going to back his judg-
ment with all the cash he can get his
hands on, and is going to invest in
Mississippi land
Until his recent trip to Mississippi,
where he spent three or four weeks
following the adjournment of Con-
gress, Mr.. Clark never had heard of
the real value of Mississippi land,
and of it's cheap price. Somebody
has been tardy in telling the outside
world what you folks have down
here" he said.
He made a visit to one area of cut
over land-the land from which the
timber has been cut. Speaker Clark
Is a practical farmer, and he knows
earth and what it will produce and
what it is worth as well as any man.
He was told that much of this land
could be purchased for S. an acre,
and, it is said, he came near fainting
at the information.
Are Giving 1t Away.
You're giving it away" he is quot
ed as saying. "The land is ideal for
agricultural purposes, and with a lit
tie labor, all those stumps which are
supposed to detract from its value,
may be removed
Continuing, the Speaker is quoted
as having said: "The possibilities of
Mississippi are unlimited. I'm going
to buy about 1000 acres of land in the
Magnolia State and watch it grow.
It's the best investment l know OF
anywhere in the country"
What part of Mississippi the Speak.
er will select as his home is not
known, but it is believed that he will
select some part of South Mississippi.

There's a break in "Old Faithful, +"
the 450-feet artestian well, which for
the last two years has furnished the
greater part of the city's water sup
ply, and well experts today believe
that the shaft never will be cleared
from the point of breaking to the bot
tom.
Two authorities, Frank and John a.
Suter, of Pass Christian, are in Hat
tiesburg today comforting with the
City Commissioners. With Capt. Fair
ley Commissioner in charge of the
water supply, the Messrs. Suter visited
the well, where Bert Jones, superin-
tendent of the system has been en-
gagged for the last several days III
clearing the shaft. and made an exam
ination. The unanimously agreed that
there is a break something like $50
feet below the surface.
There are two or three streams en-
tering the deep well, one of whlch
appears above the point of breaking.
It is the intention of the Commission
ers, Capt. Farley said, to put a strain
or on the pipe and to try to operate
it for time on the one stream. what
the outcome will be, he said, cannot
be known until a thorough test is
made.
''The construction work was detec-
five in the first place, the casing being
too light and flimsy for the demands
made on it," Capt Farley continued.
sThe city never should have to pay Tor
the shaft, as the well never has given
satisfaction. We have had trouble
with it from the very beginning. 1t
was bored by Texas comapny, and
the city declined to pay for it. 1t was
carried to the courts, and the City
was directed to pay the concern
certain amount. This the officials
thought they should not do, and conse-
ouentlv carried the whole affair to the
Mississippi Supreme Court.
The examination and test of the
well now being made, Mayor Batson
said this afternoon, shows conclusive
ly that defective work was done and
that the original amount demanded by
the diggers never should be paid.
