InVIRAL[ QUIET DURING
|RECENT MILfMEN STRIKE
|cITY OFFICIALS, STRIKERS AND
RESIDENTS ALL co-oPERAr
TO MAINTAIN ORDER.

Additional reports of the co-opera-
tion Of the town people of Sumrall
and the employees of the Newman
Lumber Company there, who recently
went on a strike for higher wages, to
maintain order and to prevent any
thing that even resembled violence or
boisterousness, are coming into Hat
tiesburg daily.
Notice was served ON the "blind
tigers" of the town that If a drop OF
whiskey were sold during the strike,
not only would the law give them the
limit, but that the individuals would
take the matter in their own hands.
The city officials, together with the
strike committee, called on the vari
Gus merchants and asked that no fire
works of any kind be sold while the
strike was on, as it might tend tc
have a harmful influence.

visit to the port OF Gulfport during
the period Of the Mississippi Centen-
NAL Exposition, which will open on
December 10. 1917. and continue for

.'birthday party" in celebration of her
one hundredth anniversary TO state

General II. E. Blakeslee, of the Expo
sition. Mr.. Blakeslee has written to
senators and congressman, asking

the Navy Department agree to send
the dreadnaught to Mississippi waters,
so that the hundreds of thousands of

The silver service presented to the

augmented by other large and hand

TELLS
''OF PEACE OF GOD''
HARRIS DECLARES THAT PEACE
is THE GREATEST GIFT MAN
HAS EVER RECEIVED.

Evangelist Joseph j. Harris, who is
assisting in the services being con-
Quoted at the Court House at 7:SO
o'clock each night, last night preached
on "The Peace of God"
without peace" he said, 1--WE can
make no rightful claim as being His
children
''This peace is obtainable only
through faith in Christ, as the apostle
Paul put it, being justified by faith
we have peace with God And to
keep it, or to be kept by it, is to live
life iustifiable in His sight. Jesus
is called the Prince of Peace, which
means He subdues that unpeaceful
nature in the heart Of mankind and
gives him perfect peace, which hE
cannot have without Christ being en-
throned Nothing can disturb the
peace God gives. The storm of life
may rage, but the same one that
said peace, be still to the troubled
f, sea can hush the bowling tempest.
perfect peace is the condition and
privilege of every true Christian in
true light of the Bible. If you are q
lprofessed Christian and void of peace
please investigate your experience al
once

The Presidents Speech.

President Wilson swept away all the cobwebs
of doubt and mystidcation which may have
grown like an obscuring cataract over many
ewes when he stated his views and the views
of what we believe to be the better part of real
America in simple, straightforward words IN MS
Detroit speech.
There was no Interior meaning. no cryptic
Significance in what he said; child could nave
understood for IT was a plain gospel of human
ity and brotherly love which can be as easily ap-
piled 10 the affairs OF life today a. IN the time
that il was first voiced on the hills OF Galilee.
II was evident on Monday that the philosophy
of the Great Teacher had become so much
part of his entire being that il emanated from
him as the breath OF his body.
There was no sarcasm, eloquent flights OF
fancy. just simple statement OF facts as they
must appear TO any one whose curve OF the big
horizon is not botted out by the curve OF a gold
piece held at close range.
The president made three interesting points
which might sum up the big question OF Amerl-
internationalism
One is that permanent peace can only grow
in the soil of good will. -
That good will cannot be brought about by
war. and that with real understanding, good will
must inevitably follow

Antagonism, hatred and spirit Of revenge out
of which no good thing can be born.
But given d common pulse OF humanity and
common school of experience and We are bound
together by unbreakable ties, like those OF
family, which no amount OF petty ructon can
sever.
The American people are essentially provin-
cial in their thoughts, President Wilson point
ed out.
They have been isolated in big country
which would easily supply all their needs.
They have not cared to LEARN from the peo-
pie who have come TO their shores, but have
sought. rather to TEACH. believing that we had
discovered the one and only way 20 live.
They have been obsessed with the idea that
because America is the biggest and richest
country in the world, IL was necessarily incapa-
Bile Of wrong thinking.
This is their proyincialism and az America has
now grown 10 maturity and should have emerged
from the SNUG satisfaction which always
companies growing pains IT is time TO put away
such youthful thoughts
This is what President Wilson wishes us 10
do. To seek TO UNDERSTAND other peoples,
their ideals. their needs. their civilization, and
to HELP, not HINDER them in their march of
progress.
