The Salvation Army will continue
its work of rescuing girls and women
in Hattiesburg, and of placing them in
the home operated by that organiza-
tion, according to Capt. J. w. McAfee,
in charge of the local branch of the
organization.
There is a much greater need here
for a rescue home, than for temper
ary home for penniless girls, he said.
"Our rescue department is distinct
one from our spiritual one. When a
girl is located, she is cared for in
the Hattiesburg home, and when we
can get the necessary railroad fare,
we send her to the rescue home main
tanned by the Salvation Army in Bir

TWAS NOAH, NOT EVE,
ATE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.--It was not
Adam and Eve who brought about the
fall of man, but Noah, according to
translation of tablet now in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Museum. A
statement to this effect was made to-
day by a representative of the uni
'versity
According to Sumerian theology
found on the tablet, which is said to
have been written before the days of
Abraham and translated by DR.. Stew
ems Langdon of oxford University.
Noah was ordered not to eat of the
'cassia tree in the Garden of Paradise,
and when he disobeyed the curse fell
upon him. B
The curse was that he should have
i'll health and an early death instead
of living to be $4,000 years old like his
ancestors.
DR.. Langdon says that this tablet
is at least a thousand years older
than the Genesis account of the fall
of man The tablet was written pos
sibly 5000 years ago, and evidently
records a tradition which goes back
to the early history of man. The Bab-
lonian and Sumerian accounts place
the flood at something like $4,000 B.
&c.

Braddock was employed as strik-

the political pot in Mississippi, which
has for so many moons been at the
boiling point, has considerably sim
mered down, officers at the state
house are resuming the even tenor OF
their way. Most of them, who were
either nominated at the first Demo
cratic primary on August 3, and who
were not bothered with opponents,
are resting easy, while several others
are working hard to secure all ballot
promises possible before the second
primary on August "a.

many voters to the polls as the first,
because the "big show" is over, Theo

If Bilbo has made any patronage
promises the matter has been kept a
profound secret. His supporters are
being kept on the anxious seat, for it
is known that many of them expect to
get slices of pie, and the pie is a
very small one.
The most interesting political de-

He Wants to Be a
Soldier But Can't
Find an Army Here
CHUCKY STATION YOUNG MAN
AFTER VAlNLY SEARCHING
ARRESTED FOR TRESPASS.

Norris Monihan, of Chucky Station,
a small town on the n. o., NJ. & C..
Railroad, he explained, wants to be
soldier and fight for his country,
but he can't find anybody that wants
any soldiers, and he says he doesn't
know exactly where the headquarters
of his country are located.
MOnihan, strapplng young farmer
lad, was in police court today on the
charge of trespassing on the city
property. He said he came to Hat
tiesburg a couple of days ago to enlist
in the United States army. Some one
told him that there was an army here,
he said, but it evidently had been
moved. 'Tve lookedl all over this
town for it, but | can't find it," he
explained.
He said that he had written a ser
'geant of infantry who was supposed
to be in charge of the "army" here
telling him that he was coming to
Hattiesburg, and asking that a uni
form and a gun be reserved for him.
He didn't wait for an answer, but
came on here, fearing that he would
be late.

tahlished here. has closed, it seems,
and no one knew whether the ser
geant had returned to New Orleans
or was elsewhere.
Mayor Batson explained to the
would-be soldier that he must get en-
plOyment if he expects to stay in Hat
tiesburg, and that he must not sleep
in vacant buildings, or in the fire
houses. He dismissed the charges
against him.

SORE MOUTH IS
KILLING Off DOGS
SCORES AFFECTED IN HATTiES-
BURG ARE DYING; CAN'T
BE CURED.

An epidemic of "sore mouth, said
to be one of the most dangerous oil
all canine diseases, is prevalent in
Hattiesburg at this time, and scores
of dogs, some of them of valuable
breed have died as a result. Thus far
the experts in animal diseases have
been able to do but little, if anything
for the afflicted dogs.
The disease is not a new one for
this section, but it more general now
than it has been before. No record
of the number of dogs which have
either died outright, or else have been
killed after it was found that nothing
could be done for them, has been
kept. The mortality among the ca.
mines, however, has been great.
The disease is believed to be the
result of stomach disorders caused by
some unexplained thing. This affects
the roof of the animals mouth. Once
it gets a start, nothing can save the
animal. In most cases, the owners
realizing this, speedily put an end to
the suffering of the dogs.
w. E. Estes, sergeant and cashier
of the city government, has lost two
valuable bird dogs as a result of the
disease. 1t became necessary to kill
both of the animals.

vacation this morning.
1t was announced at the White

of the Cabinet tomorrow.
Details of yesterdays conference in
New York with the Latin-American
diplomats were given to the President
by Secretary Lansing, who announced
that the appeal of all Mexicans fac

President approved the appeal. He
reiterated that the peace plan doesn't
contemplate the use of force in Mexi-
co, but merely to influence the Mexi-
cans to hold a peace convention and
create a government to be recognized
by all nations. Lansing refused to
comment on Carranza's protest filed
yesterday.
Carranza today issued from Vera
Cruz a denial of any outrages either
committed or contemplated against for
eigners. Secretary Daniels called for
