Greeted by thousands OF his home
people and many from other counties
who not only filled the court house
square but who stood on the curbs and
back on the pavements in such numbers
as to force street cars and other vehicles
to suspend traffic, Judge Paul B. Johnson
last night took the great throng into his
confidence and told them what he would
do, or strive to do, if elected to Congress
from the Sixth district 1t was said by
many to have been the largest crowd
ever before assembled at this particular
point, and the candidate was visibly
eratihed with the presence OF SO many
people who are his close neighbors and
friends.

Johnson made by Judge N. c. Hill, OF

large outpouring of people who had
come to hear him speak. He told of his

almost honeycombed with blind tigers,
gambling and other dens of iniquity
and how he had responded to the wishes
of the people and had been elected po

EDWARD HINES, JR.
MEETS DEATH ON
THE BATTLEFIELD

Some few months ago we had
occasion to reproduce in the col
umns of the Daily Hei aid an in
teresting and readable letter
written by Edward Hines Jr., ),
from France, and dou btless
our readers will recall it. In the
list of casualties given out on
yesterday his name is carried
among the deaths. The cause of
his death was a peculiar form of
pneumonia superinduced by
shell shock. He was sen, into
the trenches almost Immediately
on his arrival at the front, as he
belonged to the machine gun di-
vision.
Of course the sacrifice of Ed
ward Hines Junior IN the cause
of liberty on the field of France
means in the abstract no more
to US than that of other sold;er
of the Star Spangled Banner
whatever before had been their
respective stations in life. They
all as such stand equal IN our re-
gard. But the event does give us
more than the ordinary grasp of
what this war means in patriot
ism, in sacrifice, in devo, ion to
our great country and its noble
cause.
The young man had not yet
reached his twenty first year had
just graduated at Yale; 1t was
expected that he would enter
upon preparation to succeed his
father In the great lum Der busi-
ness of which his father now
stands as the leading figure in
this country. In the concrete
Gulfport was as much concerned
IN this young man from every
material, as we'll as sentimental
point of view, as it was in the
lamented Bert Jones. When the
call came he volunteered into the
first training camp, earned a
lieutenants com mission, landed
in France in Decem ber and IN
June is laid away among the
tens and hundreds of thousands
who have fallen there, and al
though his station in life was
such that he might have bad
any thing here within the COM
mand of wealth and position, ii
is dou b d that there the
place of his burial can even be
found.
Can more shining example be
found that sacrifice, patriotism
and oneness of purpose knows
no class, no station. no distinc-
ton of persons-the rich and the
poor, the hun BILE and the power
full all go down together in the
one valley OF the shadow.

Will Somebody Tell Us?

Well merited criticism from all
sections seems to be the "order of
day, against the report of the
committee appointed to investigate
the smelter trust. That the report
is whitewash of the trust goes
without saying, they being the
only patriots, according to the
report, giving their services to the
poor miners at very great loss to
themselves.
The only profit they make seems
to be the munificent sum OF 95
cents per ton, and this only on
lead ores, all the dry ores being
reduced at a loss.
Will the committee kindly in
form an interested public how
many tons of lead ore they would
have to smelt annually to pay their
enormous dividends?
