OUR "JIMD CASSIDY ON STUMP
Royal Reception Given Gifted Orator
at Hattiesburg- Report in
American.

Judge ]. w. Cassidy, of Brookha-
ven, prominent lawyer in South
Mississippi, spoke in Hattiesburg
last night in behalf of the candidacy
of Lee M. Russell for governor of
the state.
The speaking took place in the
Forrest County Court House. Mr..
Cassidy came from Brookhaven at
1880 and was met at the train by a
large number of his friends, who es-
corted him to the place of the speak
ing.
He was introduced to the large
! crowd which heard him by D. M.
Watkins, Hattiesburg lawyer, who is
Chairman of the Forrest County Lee
Russell Club.
Mr.. Watkins spoke only a few
minutes, saying that the evening
would be given over to Mr.. Cassedy.
Mr.. Watkins paid splendid tribute
to the chief speaker, saying he was
one of the most gifted platform
speakers in the South, and an orator
with but few equals. Mr.. Cassidy
has been devoting considerable time
since the first primary speaking over
the State in behalf of Mr.. Russell's
candidacy for governorship of the
State.
Judge Cassidy confined himself to
discussion of the record of Mr..
Russell during the twelve years of
his legislative service, and of his
qualifications for the governorship.
He said that Mr.. Russell had lat all
times sought to play fair and square
to everybody in politics, and that his
record proved he was friend to the
people of the State.
Judge Cassidy vigorously defended
the State Equalization Board, or Tax
Commission. He told of the opera
tions of the board, its creation and
purpose, and said that 1t was a board
of merit and undisputed success.
A high tribute was paid to the or
ganized labor forces of the State by
Mr.. Cassidy, who said that at all
times Lee Russell had fought for the
interests of the laboring man and
that in event of his election by the
people to the governors office he
would continue to be strong friend
to union labor.
Mr.. Cassidy dwelt for some length
on the organized labor subject, COM
Iplimenting the laboring men for
their unselflsh and earnest service
during the war. He said the day
had come when the union labor for
ces were to be reckoned with in gov
ernment administration.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Cassedy's
address, his friends and friends of
Mr.. Russell came forward and a re-
ception in his honor was planned for
today, but owing to the pressure of
his other engagements, he was forced
to leave Hattiesburg at an early hour
this morning.-Hattiesburg Ameri-

A SOLDIER ACROSS THE POND"
Private Daniel Mccullough Corrects
Wrong Impression n-SOldiers Still
Doing Good Service.

st. Nazaire, France. Aug. 2, 1919.
Dear Homefolks:-
Just a few more, lines to let you
know I am still well and hope these
few lines will reach you the same.
/ say l am well, have been TAX
ing some medicine today, but I am
not to say bad sick. Just a little
cold is all. If / am here another
off on a leave.
Think though, that can say and
be safe in doing so, that l will be
here another month, and then maybe
some. Well, today is my birthday,
but thought back in the winter that
1 would have been home and for
gotten about it by this time, but like
things are running now suppose /
will be doing we'll if / get home by
Thanksgiving day. Say, papa, some
of the boys had some newspapers
sent them from home and they read
like the people back in the states
thought that all the boys that are
still over here are A. w. o. LIS, and
boys that are being treated for We
nereal diseases, but let me make a
little bit of correction on that right
now. Say, 7 am going to leave room
for you to cut it out and If you
don't mind it you can have it put
in the LEADER
FROM A SOLDIER IN THE A. q. F.
To our honest old parents back home.
Dear Citizens Of old Lincoln County:-
have been informed by a news
paper which was sent one of my
comrades from over there, that all
you good" people back home who
still have sons, brothers, friends, and
cousins. over here, have been given
the wrong information as to the rea-
SON US boys that still remain In. the
A. e. F., are held over here. Now,
l understand that you are under the
impression that all the A. e. F., that
are here at the present time are A.
w. 0. LIS, and men afflicted with
venereal diseases. The fact is that
very few are here under such cir
cumstances; / further wish to state
that some one who I didn't even
know the war was over has put out
a false report.
From this time on when you see
a report like that, please give this
few lines have written a thought
and remember that / have done this
to clear the reputation Of the
boys who are still here in this new
er-to-be-forgotten country, serving
our country and rendering the very
best service Of our ability.
am quite sure that this will give
some one of my friends back In the
good old U. s. A., better idea about
the soldiers who are still in France.
Wishing you all the best of luck
but not having the least idea as to
when L will be back with you all,
! Iremain, as ever,
A member Of the A. 3. r.,
Pvt. Daniel w. Mccullough.
will now try to finish my letter
to you all. Well there isn't anything
happening over here that would be
of interest to you, so will say good
by, for this time.
AS ever,
