CONSTITUTION MAKER
DIES AT AN OLD AGE
GLASS WAS ONE OF TRAINERS OF
THE ORGANIC
LAW.

! KoscusKo, MISS, August la sau
death occurred near Sails, in this
when F. M. Glass, aged 81
one of the pioneer citizens Of this
county, passed to his reward.
Mr.. Glass was at one time very
prominent in the affairs of this state,
having been a very aggressive mem
ber of the lower House of the State
legislature, and member of the Con-
stitutional convention of 1890. He was
,often chosen by two contending par
ties to settle the differences of the
two, and his decisions were always
fair, and equal justice was done to
,all.
He leaves wife and three children
and numbers of grandchildren and 9th.
pt relatives. He was buried yester-
day morning in the cemetery at Sails,
Miss, with Masonic honors, he having
been Mason for over go years. The
Masonic lodge at Sails, the lodge at
,Kosciusko and the lodge at Durant
Miss, all joined together to pay their
last tribute.

Della Cooley Dies
clTYs MOST NOTORIOUS LAAN-
BREAKER, SHOT LAST SUM-
MER, succuMBs.

A pail Of gloom spread over Mobile
street, Baptist Bottoms, Foggy Bot
toms, Smoky Row and the other col
ored sections of Hattiesburg today,
when the news of the death OF Della
Cooley, probably the best known ne
gro woman on Mobile street, became
generally known.
The woman died and was buried in
River View Cemetery Saturday. But
the news of her death was not wide
spread until today.
Over at Police Headquarters, tho
officers have figured up that for a
woman rs years of age, Della had
been in more different kinds of trou-
BILE, and in court more times, than
any negro woman ever living in Mo
bile street. From robbery to just
plain vagrancy, Della had run the
whole gamut of crime. She probably
had sold more blind tiger" whiskey,
and had paid out more money to law
yers to defend her, than any negro,
man or woman, known in police cir
cles
Nearly all the time Della was con
victed, too. But that didn't prevent
her from hiring lawyer to appear
for her. She conducted her court suits
in style, and would give a lawyer SIS
any day to fight charge which would
bring with it $3.50 fine if convicted.
The woman died of pneumonia. Last
summer she figured in the Mobile
street fight, when the Lady Bird"
fred at another negro man, the bullet
striking Della in the chest, penetrat-
| ing her lungs.

TRUCK COMPANY WINS
SUIT AGAINST LAMAR
.PURvIS JUDGE AWARDS DAMAGES
AGAINST BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS.

PuTvis, Miss, Aug 2.--The White
Motor Truck Company through theis
attorneys, Salter & Hathorn, on Sat
urday were awarded verdict against
Lamar County by Judge L. A. Wealth
ersby in the circuit court here, where
in they were claiming $3.50 for a
ed by the board of supervisors thai
retired from office with the incoming
of the present board January of this
year. The outgoing board purchased
the truck in the last month of their
service as supervisors in the face
of largely signed petition asking
that the purchase be not made, with
the result that many believed or were
made to believe that the purchase was
meant as piece of spite work be-
cause it was known that members Of
the board were active in securing
the petition against the purchase be-
fore August this year, when the
contract system for the working Of
the county roads expired.
Numerous irregularities were alleg-
ed, but Judge Weathersby took the
ground that the retiring board had
made the purchase, received the truck
put it into service, issued warrants
uDon the county treastlrer for nav
ment and therefore payment should be
made and that the county treasurer
be mandamused to pay the outstanding
warrants Quite noticeable senti-
ment endorsing the decision of Judge
Weathersby is manifest here. An ap-
peal to the state supreme court has
been taken by the county.
The present board of supervisors
have, since coming into office last Jan
uary organized for the working of the
county roads with crew and equip
ment under the direction of a foreman
with the personal supervision of each

TROTTER'S VACATION

Mayor Batson says, and he gives as
an example, one j. P. Trotter, a IL
year-old youngster, who was given a
couple of weeks off his Jail sentence a
few days ago, with view Of letting
the lad reform
Trotter was in Police Court again
this morning, this time charged with
boarding a moving train. He plead
guilty, but said he only rode few
hundred yards, when he jumped off.
The Mayor said that the distance
didn't make very much difference, and
he put $3.50 fine on Trotter and his
companion, Will Smith.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Thanks to The Associated Press. the greatest news gathering and news distributing bureau in the world. Fair banksans and other residents of In terior Alaska were able to get the election returns as soon as the peO- pie in any part of the United States. In fact. figuring the difference in time. Alaskans who read The Citi- Zen. which Is a member of the As sociated Press, received the news quicker than people in many dis tricts Outside, or else 1t was tele- phoned to them sooner. For as quickly as we received important news m this office while the vote on the presidential election was still in doubt. We proceeded to telephone it to all news distributing eenters in Fairbanks.
 Just how The Associated Press gathered the election news and dis t.ibuted it as quickly as it did will be told in our Sunday morning edi- tion Read it; it will be interesting.

PROGRESSiVISM IN WEST.

For the second time in the history of the nation the west has stepped forward as the final referee in the political struggle. The first time Was when the western plogrcssIyes under Henry Clay pushed the reac- tionary south to the side in order that the west might be developed. Fl rrc are many poIn'o Of similarity in ;a.s conflict just pas' and the .a. n which the wesl Jn Clas < time came to be the deciding factor in the national election.
 However, the lines have changed, ds it was then the east and west against the south; now it is the west and south against the reactionary east For if the returns mean any thing at all they mean that the east looked upon Hughes as the candi- date who was for a slowing up of the progressive movement It is ln the more settled and sedate sec tions of the country that any change is fought the most bitterly. They prefer to keep things as they are. The newly settled countries are more likely to be of an independent cast of mind The west has now shown that they are of that type of mind.

Yesterday two local surgeons per formed a difficult and delicate ope- ration on John Driscoll Driscoll was injured Friday, when bucket load ed with muck fell forty feet down d shaft and struck him on the back of the head The doctors found that about two square inches of the back of his head was crushed in against the brain. As this was just above the vision centers in the brain, the man was made blind by the blow.
 The crushed portion was nearly @ inch below it's normal position. One edge of the bone was scraped and then an instrument was put under the broken portion and it was pried up. The operation was performed yesterday morning, and last evening the patient was able to see almost normally The doctors feel that, bar ring any extraordinary occurrence, the patient will recover.
 It is not generally known that the doctors and the hospital here are equipped for operations of the type performed yesterday. Yet it has been only short time since similar operation was performed. The hos pital, according to the physicians, is operation. The result of the other operation was very promising.

ELECTION IS OVER.

Although the fact that the returns from the election are not all in yet is undeniably true, the election is over. That is, The Associated Press says it is over and flashed the re- election of President Wilson over the country two days ago. And the statement of The Associated Press is good enough for us. Therefore, in our opinion, those who are holding of bets on account of the uncertainty Jf Minnesota or any other state, are only withholding money that now belongs to somebody else,
 For, although the election is close, if there was any change or possi- bility of a change, The Associated Press would know it And being a member of that great news gathering and distributing organization, The Citizen would be the first in Fair banks to know it. For change of any kind would be flashed over the country as quickly as electricity could carry it. and would come to The Citizen as soon as any.
 Our dispatches of last night, print ed on the front page of this morn ing's paper, say that the Republican National Committee will not concede the election of Wilson. It is there fore probable that the committee is arranging for an official recount of the vote in California. The reason given is the fluctuation of the vote from Wilson to Roosevelt, back to Wilson and then finally to Roosevelt, in 1912. But then and now are en- tirely different propositions, and, on account of the methods used in count ing, the Republicans can scarcely hope to benefit even by recount to an extent which would overcome Wilson's plurality in that state.
 On another page of this paper a story describing the methods used by The Associated Press in gather ing and distributing news, is printed. It tells just why and how The As sociated Press is the first in the matter of reliable news. Read it and then decide whether President Wilson is reelected or not, rega less of any other telegrams which nay come into the country telling y. aot to pay your national election bets ,r saying that there is difference pi unir one vote between Wilson and Hughes 1T the electoral college.
