D. D. CARTE41 IS
OUT FOR TREASURER
BELIEVED HIS ENTRY IN THE
RACE WILL NoTICEABLY
CHANGE LINEUP.

D. D. Carter, a lifelong resident OF
Forrest county and one of its best.
known citizens, today authorized
The News to announce his candidacy
for county treasurer.
Although the announcement comes
but six weeks before the election, Mr..
Carter's friends believe that his entry
will materially change the lineup in
this race; and while he plans to make
as thorough a canvas of the county
as possible between now and August
3rd. it is agreed that Mr.. Carter is
known to such large number of the
county's voters that the mere an
nouncement of his candidacy would
bring him large number of votes
with no canvassing at all.
Although Mr.. Carter is man of
middle age and of long business ex'
perience he is the youngest man IN
the race. He was born on a Forrest
county farm, near Rawls' Springs, a
member of one of the largest and
most prominent families in the coun-
ty. Twenty-nine years ago, when Hat
tiesburg was just beginning to be q
town, he moved here and took up his
residence at 80 Court street. He has
lived at the same address ever since
Mr.. Carter was the first person tC
join the First Baptist Church after
| it was established. He was taken
into the church by the Rev. L. z. Hall
who was pastor at that time, and he
has been a member ever since.
Mr.. Carter's business experience
has been devoted largely to the saw
| mill and real estate business. He en-
ters this race after solicitation b!
some of the best people in the county
and they believe his chances for sue
cess are excellent.
/ 'Tn entering the race | have tn
best of feeling for all of my oppon
ents," said Mr.. Carter today. "The,
are all my friends and I am 'runninl
on my own hook and in response t
solicitations from a large number o
| my friends over the county, VIII

OF about fa years of age, shed tears OF
pladness. He was to return to his
home. his children, to the town where
he could be with his family and pro-
tect his children at the time of their
lives when a fathers care is so es-
sential.
Sims was glad to receive the merit

preferred a full pardon. HowevF, he

ten miles west of it. The Russian
armies are making every effort to
hold Lemberg, but there is fear among
the Allies they will not be able to do
so. This is due to the known fact
that the Russians are short of arms
and ammunition. Enormous uuanti-
ties are being shipped to them from
the United States, though there is
doubt if any of this will reach the
Grand Duke Nicholas, in charge of the
