BlLBO AND ANDERSON
SPEAK HERE.

Gov. Theo. G. Bilbo and Hon. Zan
Anderson addressed a large audience
Thursday night at Marshall Park in
the interest of their race for Congress
from the sixth congressional district.
The speakers were introduced by Hon.
w. D. Bullard.
Gov. Bilbo who spoke first based
/ his eligibility to the Office in Washing
ton on three things; his preparation,
his record, and his convictions He
| told of having studied long at the
| University at Nashville, the University
of Michigan, and Vanderbilt Uni
versity, after which he served success
| lively as state senator, lieutenant gov
nor, and governor of Mississippi. He
| enumerated his accomplishments
| while in the latter oofiice. Among
many things he mentioned the estab-
lshment of a pardonihg board free
from politics, the fight for good roads,
reformatory school for boys and
SH 10, tlc Vi CdllOl Vi a otutC toA SOiil-
mission to work toward the equaiza-
tion of tax burdens, and the exemption
of shipyards from taxation. The Gov
ernor pointed out that after the war
there would be a great likelihood that
the millionaires would try to enslave
the people of this country econom-
-ically. He urged the voters to use
their discretion and to elect man to
Congress who would pledge himself
to protect the interests of the working
man. He pictured the great future
that lay in store for South Mississippi, |
and promised to lend his support to
make this country the playground of
America, into which the riches Of the
East and North would empty.
Hon. Zan Anderson followed Gov
Bilbo Mr.. Anderson declared himself
for the unmtigated prosecution of the
war, and for intelligent reconstruction
when peace would come He called
upon his efficient record of many years
as a public servant in the state legis-
lature to testify as to his fitness for
the congressional office.
There were many innocent person
alities and pleasantries INDUCED in
by both speakers, and the audience re-
ceived these remarks with much ap-
plause.

 In Miss Arbaugh's school every little deaf child is taught to speak with Jhe voice. They do not talk with their hands. They learn to talk and laugh at work an1 play just as little hearing children do.
 Children who were born deaf and who attended Miss Arbaugh's school have been enabled by means of the thorough instructions and practical training given in this school to enter the public high schools in their own home towns. They recite their lessons just as the hearing pupils do and usually carry off the highest honors in large classes of hearing rupiis.
 Adults who are becoming deaf take the course ine Hip reading for adults and return to their homes to carry on the business and social relations of lite unhampered by their deafness,
 Any parent or friend of a partially or totally deaf child or of an adult who is losing the hearing may write to Miss Arbaughs school. Vineville, Macon, Ga, and the principal of the school will gladly give advice and full information in regard to the school.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 An English writer has made some in- teresting studies of the behavior of ce tain animals under war conditions. From this we learn that parrots were employed as sentinels at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and could ho relied upon to give warning of an approaching aircraft at least s0 minutes before it could be seen by the naked eye. These birds, however, gre " bored after a while, and ceased to he dependable. Pheasants, too, were wont to give warning at night when an air plane approached, screaming and chAt- tering noisily.
