POSTMASTER LEWIS RESIGNS

Mr.. Walter W. Lewis has sent in his
resignation, to take place as soon as
the Department can make arrangement
to relieve him. The action of Mr.. Lewis
in resigning the office came as a sur
prise to his many friends, and will be
received with regret by his many ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Lewis gives as his
reason that he has been offered more
lucrative position, and one that will
not require such strenuous attention
to the affairs and responsibilities of the
the office. What he intends to do on
leaving the office he has not yet di-
vulged
Mr. Lewis has been postmaster in
Pascagoula for the past two years, dur
ing the most trying times in the history
Of the office, when everything was
congested and when the business of
the office SO far outstripped the facili-
ties for taking care of same that it was
almost impossible to give the public
any kind of adequate service. That he
came through this period, however,
and is now serving the public we'll
and efficiently, speaks well for his
capability and disposition to be accom-
nodating to all patrons of the office.
He is said to be the youngest post
master in a post otfices of this size in
the country.
The action of the. Department in
naming his successor is not yet init
mated, and it may be some weeks be-
fore Mr. Lewis actually leaves the Of
flee. Offices of this class are under
civil service rules, and it may be that
prospective candidates for the office
will have to undergo civil service
examination before theft applications
can be considered.

State Highway engineer X. A. Kram
er estimates that Mississippi soon vii
receive 400 army trucks as its pro rata
share of 10000 to be distributed by the
secretary of agriculture under the
postal appropriation bill, which pre-
vides that all surplus war material
suitable for highway construction and
maintenance be turned over by the
secretary of war for use by state high
way departments.
Mr.. Kramer has wired the secretary
of agriculture he will accept its allot.
ment, paying freight and loading charg-
es as the government directs. The
trucks are of various sizes, although
the makes are unknown.
The state highway department eX-
poets to distribute the trucks TO coun-
ties on condition that transportation
charges are met The title to the
trucks must remain, however, with the
state highway department. The trucks
must be used only for highway work,
also, according to regulations received
by Mr.. Kramer.

Hold CONFERENCE
Matters of Interest to the City Dis.
cused and Course Of Action
Outlined.

At the invitation of the city commits
sioners a large number of business
men and citizens met at the city hal
Thursday night to discuss matters oi
|'vial interest to the city.
The first question considered was
the construction of public docks along
the river on the citys property south
fo the foot of Delmas avenue. Plans
and estimates for this work are now
being prepared by the Foundation Co
Of NewYork. Immediate action on this
matter is required, as it is now the
policy ofthe army engineers to recon-
mend appropriations for harbor work
only in such ports as have adequate
loading berths for vessels, and wharves
with rail connections. A resolution was
unanimously adopted urging the coun-
Gil to take immediate action to secure
rights-ofway, by condemnation pro-
ceedings or otherwise, for rail connec-
tion to the wharf property and to pro-
ceed at as an early date as possible
to construct the necessary wharves.
Unless the city can show its good faith
by getting the project under way our
appropriation in the next rivers and
harbors bill is seriously endangered.
The matterof employing rate and
traffic expert, in conjunction with the
city of Mos Point, to look after the
interests of the port In the matter Of
Securing proper rates on incoming and
outgoing freights for the ports rapidly
increasing commerce was discussed. 1t
was agreed without dissenting vote
that twenty-five of fifty men could be
found in PascagOula to contribute the
necessary amount to guarantee one
half of the sum of $4,000 annually,
$4,000 salary and $1,000 expense &C.
count, to employ such a man, who
would give his entire time and atten-
tion to these and other matters in the
interest of the port 1t is understood
that Moss Point stands ready to contri-
butte her half of the amount Contrib
utors to this fund would form them
selves into chamber of commerce,
representing the entire port.
The proposition of the Pascagoula
St Ry. G Power Co., asking new
franchise and proposing to put some
thing like $4,000 into improvements
of the plant in return for general in
crease in light and water rates, was
considered and the attitude of the
council in opposing the increase was
unanimously endorsed.

CONGRESS CALLED
IN EXTRA SESSION

Washington, May 7-President Will
son issued a call by cable today for a
special session of Congress to meet
Monday, May 13.
Secretary Tumulty, in making the
announcement, said it would be i'm
possible of course, for the president to
be here on the opening day. The date
fixed for the special session was much
earlier than Democratic leaders had
expected.
White House officials said that in
naming an earlynaming an early date
for the session Preident Wilson was
guided largely by the advice of Secre-
tary Glass as to the necessity of pass
ing annual appropriation measures
which failed in the closing dayss of the
last session.

drawing ors; the call Of the natlons honor, an.

ors; the call Of the nations honor. and
the imperative call Of its duty to the
trest of the world.
An appeal has been sent out from
headquarters to the workers TO put
their shoulder to the wheel during the
remaining days of the drive; to pull
together and push together and wind
up the campaign with huge over
subscription Some counties are lag
ging behind. Most of the counties will
go over To fail now would leave a
blot on the record of the county which
does not reach its quota. That blot
would remain forever because there
will not be another chance to come
back"
The crowning work Of patriotism for
this district would be for the people
to make the Victory Loan the greatest
of all loans-to put every county in
the district over the top. Then we could
take pride in the feeling that we had
"fnished the course"

A WORTHY PROJECT.

the mississippi Humane Society
Inc, with headquarters in Gulfport, is
now actively engaged in preparations
for building an Industrial School for
homeless and delinquent boys and girls
of the three coast counties-a project
which was first conceived by this body
of humanitarians several years ago
but which was wisely held up when the
great world war began to cast its omi.
nous shadow too plainly over this fair
land. Now, however the plans for this
much needed institution are being
vigorously pushed forward. The socie-
ty has secured an admirable site com.
prising forty acres within the eastern
limits of the city of Gulfport and it is
hoped that within the next two months
there will be two dormiories, the super
intendents apartments, school room,
kitchen, ETC., ready for occupancy.
This building will be used as an annex
after the main building will have been
sufficiently commodious to accomo-
date those juvenile delnquents who
are now being held ON probation by the
juvenile courts of the counties of Jack
son, Harrison and Hancock, and to pre-
vent the sending of boys (white) to
the county farms; thus the early open
| ing of temporary building and an in
structor in farming, etc The girls will
be taught the care of milk; and small
cannery will be installed. In fact.
they will be taught every branch of
hOmemaking including plain sewing,
flower culture, etc. During the past
eight months the Humane Society has
employed as protective community Of
judgement who has had considerab BILE
past experience in such work. She
has found many young girls in danger
GUS or questionable surroundings, some
of them orphans, others worse than or
phans thrugh poverty and ignorance.
A very small percentage have been
found subject for rescue home, and
for the majority who have yet escap-
ed the moral blight this institution
will be a safe and sure haven. AS
might be expected for such large
undertaking, the Humane Society must
have assistance from the general public
in carrying out this great work. And
committees are now soliciting funds
and building materials. While such
help is styled donation" it is really a
gilt-edge investment which can but
result in securing of sterling man
hood and womanhood for the Missis-
sippi Coast. A committee of ladies
will soon visit Pascagoula in the in
terest of this institution, which will be
known as the South Mississippi Indus
trial School; and it is hoped that they
will meet with ready response from
the good people of this community,
who are requested to note before Civ
ing, that each subscriptin paper bears
the seal of the Humane Society whose
watch words are. "Honor, Justice,
Truth Kindness"

BOY SCOUTS ON CAMPING TRIP.

Eighteen of the Boy Scouts, under
the chaperonage of Rev. John Chapman
as scout master, went over to Gautier
last Friday afternoon and spent the
nigh at "Fairhavens," Bishop Bratton' S
summer home. They camped out in
the true boy scout fashion, sleeping in
tents and on the porches of the resi-
dence, and enjoying themselves as only
boys of that age can. They cooked
their own meals, spending a real after
noon and night of outdoor camping.
They returned Saturday very much re-
freshed by their trip.
