A meeting of the Mems Glass of
the Baptist Sunday School will be
held at Mr.. j. A. Naul's residence
Thursday evening, Aug. 7th at nine
O'Clock. Let every member be pres
ent in order that we may get round
ed UP for opening exercises at Sun
day School Sunday, August 10.
On August Is, the Sixth District
Meeting, in the interest of the Bap-
tist rs Million Campaign will be held
at Brookhaven. But as the printed
statement says that the Fifth Dis
tr1ct will meet at Hattiesburg on the
same date we are not SO sure the Is
is the correct date for Brookhaven.
Mr.. Joe Smith entertained score
of young people at the home OF his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. I. w. Smith
last Saturday evening, the occasion
being his twenty-irst birthday.
Cream and cake were served and the
congenial party enjoyed most pleas
ant evening. Young Smith cast his
first ballot yesterday.
1t is a great pity man cannot be
known by his own name after he has
served his state as long as Mr. N. P.
Bonney, Of the Summit Sentinel. The
gentleman and public servant Of
that name and not IN. S. Bonnie" is
now very i'll at the Baptist Hospital
in jackson and is attended by his
wife and others concerned. The
Leader very mich regrets Mr.. Bon
ney's serious illness.

BROOKHAVEN COLORED
MEN UPHOLD LAW
Their Action is COmmendable
In Regard to Attack on
Policeman.

The Leader wishes to commend the
law-abiding spirit of the colored
citizens of this city as shown in the
communication published elsewhere
in these columns with regard to the
cutting of Policeman George James
while in the discharge of his official
duty by vagrant member of their
race.
The law is meant to protect the
people, black or white, from the law
breaker and as long as men keep
within the bounds of the law with
respect to their own as well as the
white race they are safe under the
law. 1t is only when the bounds are
transcended that trouble is made by
the law-breaker. Laws were made to
be obeyed and we are glad the col
ored people are willing to honor
their town and themselves in law
observance.

Pleasant Grove Picnic.

The picnic at Pleasant Grove
Church, which was given as a get
together place for the candidates,
was indeed a success.
There was quite crowd from
both counties and everyone seemed
to enjoy the day immensely.
We are glad to say that a nice sum
of money was realized, and highly
appreciated, as it is to bo used in
re-seating the church.
One thing out Of the ordinary was
the treat to the candidates; many
having been called on the grounds
for that purpose. After the candi-
dates were lined UP, they were
served by charming young ladies.
While the candidates were still in
line, Mr.. /. S. Beeson explained the
purpose Of the picnic and hat was
passed among the candidates.

SENATOR PAT HARRISON
SHOWS HIS HAND.

Senator Harrison returned to
Washington yesterday after voting
for the candidates he wanted to see
elected.
When asked about Mississippi puii-
tics and the gubernatorial race he
said; II have no doubt Mississippi
will elect true, redblooded, patri-
otto American as governor. You have
some men in the race of that char
acter. Mississippi can be counted
on not going backward. No man
who was not right on the issues OF
the war and is not now with the
Democratic party of the nation and
President Wilson in his fight for
League of Nations, insuring the
peace of the world, will be elected
governor Of mississippi"
The senator left Monday for Gulf
port. He is keenly interested in the
present Mississippi campaign and
came all the way from Washington
to cast his vote for those whom he
would prefer seeing at the helm Of
Mississippi for the next four years.

Miss Virgie was assisted in ex-

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of
a remedy for kidney troubles
and backache, it is a good plan
to try Doan's Kidney Pills. They
are strongly recommended by
Brookhaven people.
Joseph West, prop, black
smith shop, 113 +. Monticello
ST., Brookhaven, says: 4 am
glad to recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills, as / have used them
for at least ten years. Some
time ago / strained my kidneys
while working at my trade and
ever since then, | have been
troubled with kidney complaint.
Whenever | did any heavy lift
ing after that, my back would
ache. The kidney secretions
contained sediment and burned
in passage. I knew my kidneys
were in bad shape, so | finally
got Doan's Kidney Pills and used
them. One box corrected all the
trouble and I have taken them
off and on for a good many
years. Doan's Kidney Pills keep
me in good health" Statement
given April 10th, 1914.)
On January %, 1913, Mr..
West said: 1T is very seldom
now / have need of a kidney
remedy, but when | do, / use
Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's al
ways give me the same good re-
|sults."
