The president no longer speaks the
compelling voice in this country Time
was when, to congress and to others,
he was jeweleyed political Buddha,
whose thunder-tones caused all the
world to tremble and to obey. Now
it is evident that he is no omnipotent
being, that TO oppose him is neither
criminal nor reasonable, and that re-
s1stance to his views is not to be Wis
tied with instant death. Such feel
ing is highly contagious one. What
New Jersey has dared, with suffrage,
other communities will dare with other
issues.
Mr. Wilson will be renominated, of
course-unless he takes counsel of
prudence and makes a grand stand
play by declaring that he will abide
by the one-term plank Of the Balti
more convention. But he will enter
the campaign a sadly diminished figure
from the majestic proportions in which
his idolaters have sought to make him
appear. In his own state he has stead
lily shrunken. He secured fewer votes
in 1912, for president, than he did in
1910, for governor. In 1914 his party
elected only four congressman, as
! against ten the the preceding cleo
ton; while the republicans regained
control of the legislature. In 1915, on
an issue of his own making, we see
the outcome.
The deduction is obvious. Mr.. Will
son is no longer a real asset to any
party or to any cause; he is liability
And yet he is all that the democratic
party has to boast Of

large concourse of relatives and
friends many of whom came from
afar to pay the last sad respects.

The Bluff collects its Annual toll.

The drowning of two little
negro boys at the bluff" Sunday
afternoon, besides startling the
while community by the tragic
death. impressed again most vivid
ly that it is history repeating itself
as never year goes by, without
a similar occurance at the same
fatal spot.
The two little chaps, James
Buoy and Dan Bell were in swim
ming with a number of COM
panions in the river just above
town, at the place known as the
Bluff, which is a regular plague
hole that invariably claims its
victim, and Bell evidently was
seized with cramps and as he went
under screamed for help; all the
boys ran away but Buoy who went
to the rescue and died a hero's
death. The alarm was given and
in little while a crowd assembled
but neither diving, seining or
dynamiting succeeded in recover
ing the bodies, that day or night.
and it was Monday evening be-
fore the first was found and Tues
day morning, the second. The
unfortunate little lads who were
only ten and eleven years of age
were buried on Tuesday, and in
spite of the terrible accident which
was similar to one recorded last
year, and the year before and be-
fore that, as far back as any one
can recall, the memory of it will
be en-, irely effaced when swimming
time comes again next year.

Many early risers out in the rural

Hattiesburg on Saturday night.
This section was visited by frost 81
hours after it had made its first ap
pearance further north in Mississippi
Reports from other towns in the state
say that the section from Tupelo and
Clarksdale to Hattiesburg was frost
covered Saturday morning.
