GETTING BUSY; BILBO'S
SUPPORTERS AT CAPITOL

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 10.-Pie hunt
ers already are getting busy in Missis-
sippi, and the newly chosen governor,
Theo. G. Bilbo, admits that the way to
the governors chair is by no means
lined with roses.
Supporters of Bilbo have come here
from every direction to "see him for
a few minutes" This means they
have whispered to him this or that
job upon which they have set their
hearts.
Manifestly the patronage of the
new governor is not going to be large

Chief Bennett had been notified that
another negro, carrying gunny sack
and a shotgun, was headed toward
Hattiesburg, and to be on the lookout
for him. He gave the description to
his policemen, and notified the small
towns near Hattiesburg. He also
called up Sheriff HARRISON and gave
him the description.
While going to his home late in the
afternoon, Capt. A. Farley, one of
the City Commissioners, saw man
whom he believed to be the negro
wanted. He called Chief Bennett On
the telephone. The chief at once tele-
phoned the store of j. NJ. Carley &
Sons, of Petal, to be on the lookout
for the negro.

took up the trail. | MIR LOvetts au-
tOmobile the two started for Petal, but
on reaching there they found that the
negro-Claude Bridges already had
been captured. He had the shotgun
which was identified last night by Dr.
Bass as his property.
The sheriff and Mr.. Lovett brought
the negro back to Hattiesburg and
notified the Purvis authorities, who
came after him.
DR.. Bass said that while nothing
but a pair of shoes, a box Of cartridges
and the shotgun was taken from his
home, it was the third time his resi-
dence had been burglarized, and that
he was determined to make an exam
