PAT HARRISON ASKS VOTE FOR
WHITE WOMEN.
Urges Franchise Amendment to
Mississippi Constitution.

Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississip-
pi, expressing delight over the defeat
of the federal amendment by the low
er house of the Mississippi Legisla
ture Wednesday, declares sincere
hope, according to press telegram
from Washington, that the Legisla-
ture would now submit an amendment
to the State Constitution permitting
the white women of Mississippi to
exercise the franchise right. He said {:
81 am very much gratified over the
action of the House today, although
knowing the conditions and the per-
sonnel of the Legislature as l do,
l had never entertained doubt as to
what the action would be.
81 think the the action great tri-
butte to the wisdom of the House,
and that it reflects great credit on the
State.
personally, I hope that the Legis-
lature, the federal amendment hav-
ing been defeated, will take the next
step and submit an amendment to the
State constitution, to be voted on in
the next general election, under
which the white women of Mississippi
will he given the right of franchise. -

THE SPANISH TRAIL ROAD.

Texas is rapidly coming to the
front in construction work along the
! Old Spanish Trail One third of the
total mileage, $50 miles, is in Texas.
Inasmuch as the work is we'll advanc-
ed from from Los Angeles, Califor-
mia, to the Texas line, and also in
Louisiana, the Texas report becomes
interesting.
Of the $50 miles of highway
through Texas, $50 miles are COM
plete mostly paved; 430 miles are
now constructing or with cash in
hand; 240 miles are unsettled but
Old Spanish Trail clubs and other in
terests are at work and favorable ac-
tion expected.
Mr.. H. L. Miller, the president,
states that, ''It is believed the Old
Spanish Trail will be open in good
shape for tourists and general travel
from Los Angeles to New Orleans by
the winter of 1920-21. 1t will not be
| complete but for that distance it will
be one of the most advanced overland
highways in the United States. The
highway work in Texas is being done
with the idea of permanence. Bad
crooks and turns are being straight
| ened and distances shortened. Ce-
| ment bridges are being built, even
over small waterways. New courses
are being surveyed to avoid low lev
els. Between San Antonio and Hous-
ton the highway, when completed,
will be shorter than the railroad.s
"It is quite likely the trail will be
| ready for travel this summer from
East Texas to the hills of Boerne,
Comfort and Kerrville, in West Tex
as. Construction is now proceeding
| in NOSE of these counties, and where
| construction has not yet begun plans
are rapidly whipping into shape.
Money is on hand, Old Spanish Trail
Clubs are organizing in each county
and the State highway department
is cooperating. West of Kerrville,
through the great cattle ranges, all
counties are ready to do their part.
T SIN anticipation of the opening OF
the Los Angeles-New Orleans Sec
tion," Mr.. Miller continues, 1--WE are
putting out magazine and news sto-
ries to acquaint the people north and
south with the conditions along the
highway. The magazines are beginn-
ing to ask for stories and the big dai-
lies along the trail are helping with
Sunday illustrated pages. Tourist:
are being extensively reached this
way. Travel over the highway viii
be ready to start when the construc
ton work is ready"

Governor Bilbo Receives $4,000.

At a meeting of the personal
friends and political followers of Gov.
Theo. Bilbo, Monday night, the outgo-
ing executive was presented with q
purse containing $4,000.
For several days the work OF col
lecting the amount has been in pro-
gress and it is stated that the total
has reached $4,000, which repre-
sents approximately what the outgo-
ing governor has spent in excess OF
his income during the past four years,
including personal Indebtedness at
the time he entered Office.
In the past twenty-five years eve
ry occupant of governors office has
finished his term poorer than when he
entered it. The late Gov. McLau.
rim, it is said, spent $4,000 over and
above his salary, and he didn't live
extravagantly. Gov. Brewer quit
office with deficit of $4,000 on his
bank book, and the same was true to
a greater or lesser extent of Govern
ors Longino, Vardaman and Noel.

PARKER NOMINATED
|. FOR GOVERNOR OF
STATE OF LOUISIANA
Returns Show Stubbs' Defeat; Ring 10
Beaten-Estimates Made From
Incomplete Returns Place
PARKER'S MAJORITY BETWEEN
5000 AND 10000 VOTES.
Campaign Was Most Bitter In His
tory of State-Pleasant Sup
ported Parker; Behrman Stubbs

Jno. M. Parker, on the face of in
complete returns, was nomina-
ted for governor at the regular DEM
ocratic primary Tuesday by ma
jority estimated at from 5000 to 10,-
600. Supporters of Col. Frank P.
Stubbs, of Monroe, the other candi-
date, including the newspapers which
endorsed his campaign, at noon con-
ceded the nomination to Parker.
Hewitt Bouanchaud of Pointe
Coupee Parish, apparently received
the nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
The campaign which came to an
end Tuesday, was one of the bitterest
in the history of the State. Parker
was conceded the country vote, but
Stubs supporters expressed conf
dence of their candidate carrying the
city by ten thousand majority. The
official figures showed the Stubs ma
jority in the city was 4,371.
Interest was added to the campaign
by the fact that Mayor Martin Behr-
man headed the, faction supporting
Stubs and Governor Ruffin G. Pleas
ant led the Parker side. Pleasant,
supported by Mayor Behrman four
years ago, defeated Parker, indie
pendent candidate.
Parker, a native of louisiana, was
progressive nominee for vice-presi-
dent, but later supported Wilson in
his campaign and toured the middle
West in his interests. He was State
food administrator for Louisiana du-
ring the war.

THE GOOD ROADS BILL.

The new Mississippi Good Roads
Bill, calling bond issue Of $25,O00,-
600 for the improvement of high
ways in the State has been introduc-
ed in both the House and Senate.
The measure has every assurance
chus far of passage and in itself is a
measure that is worthy of commenda-
ton. 1t is drafted by Representative
Pate of Kinds county, an automobile
dealer of Jackson.
Briefly, It provides:
That the bonds shall be issued In
sections and not in lump sum.
1t is progressive, constructive and
conservative.
! That the expenditure is safeguard
ed by commission.
Provision is made for maintenance.
Each county will share alike in the
benefits under the bill in proportion
to the size and Importance of the sec
tion and it's needs for highway i'm
provement.
The bonds are predicated on the
raising of motor vehicle licenses and
other revenue sources. An ad valo-
rum tax and gasoline tax likely will
be provided, the former being carried
in the measure proper.
A companion bill introduced raises
the license fees for automobile, the
maximum being approximately SIS
per year. This is necessary and the
success of the bill depends on this
provision.

WHAT THE TWENTY-FIVE MIL
LION DOLLAR BOND ISSUE
WILL DO FOR THE MIS-
SISSIPPI COAST.

From "The Mississippian," Gulfport
Like all Mississippi the Coast will
come in for its share of the good
things that the $4,000, 100000 will
bring for we are informed on the best
of authority that the three counties
Of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson
will have their dream realized, that is
that concrete road will be built the
whole length of the coast, and that
steel and concrete bridge across the
Bay of st. Louis and also across the
Pascagoula river at Pascagoula.
The concrete road will be twenty
feet wide at all points and built for
permanency. In the building of these
bridges the Federal aid is already ap-
proved and there is no question but
what that in a very short time the
traveller can go direct from Bay St.
Louis to Pascagoula, almost sixty
miles by direct route. This will also
be of great benefit to people living
in New Orleans and who spend their
week-ends along the Mississippi
Coast. Mobile will likewise be bene-
fitted, and the cities of Bay st. Louis,
Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport,
Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagou-
la will receive the great benefit.
The Mississippi Highway Improve
ment Association is doing everything
possible to bring about these happy
conditions, and it is their plan that
no section of the State shall be ne
elected. The roads that will be built
must be good, permanent ones Not
the kind that takes 100000 to
build and require another $4,000
to maintain after the first year, and
three times that amount during the
first six or seven years and then have
to be rebuilt. 1t is the plan of the
Association to watch that good roads
are built at all points. There will be
no waste Of money, but every dollar
receives its value in good honest
roads.

SUCCESSFUL MAN NEEDS COUR.
AGE OF CONVICTIONS.
Those Who Will Forge Ahead Must
Not Wait for Opportunity
to Knock

A London, England, telegram of
recent date says that most healthy
men and women are potential earners
of 10000 pounds year, according to
C. F. Higham, member of parliament.
Mr.. Higham recently told members
of the efficiency club how to earn this
big incoe.
"Ten thousand a year men never
write asking for a position" he de-
cared. "The secret of how to obtain
big incomes is to get others to work
out your ideas, to have the courage
of your convictions, to be able to
say yes or mo- on the iAstant and to
stick 20 your decision. Men who can
make up their own minds and make
up other peoples minds are so few
that only these few get more than TO-
600 pounds year or more in busi-
ness.
"Most men and women" he said,
"wait for opportunity to knock at
the door, and when it does they are
usually too tired to get up. Oppor-
tunities are made. They rarely seek
one out. If people want to earn 10,-
900 pounds, they make up their minds
to get it, and let nothing stand in
their way. II it is worth having it
is worth working for"
"Be careful of your personal ap-
pearance," he proceeded, Look
prosperous, act prosperous, be an
optimist. Pessimists never get
far. Be kind; that is a great vir-
tue. Be courteous. 1t is the
cheapest thing in the world and
being SO easy to do, most people
don't do it. Never break Your
word. The Business world is ever
on the lookout for reliable men,"
Sack yourself from the job that
doesn't make you happy to perform
it. No man ever got on if he be-
moaned the fate that placed him in
that business You must take chan
ces if you want big prizes. Have
faith in yourself or no one else will.
The world judges you by what you
do and not by what you say you can
do"

DEMISE OF MRS. BAUDUC-HAR.
RISON, BAY STELoUIS.

Mrs. T. j. Bauduc-H Harrison, the
venerable mother of our esteemed
| fellow-townsman, William ]. Harri-
son, passed away at his home on the
beach front at IL O'Clock Thursday
night, January %, 1920.
The deceased was ataative of New
Orleans, Id, where she lived all
her life up to the tine when she
came to Bay ST. Louis, nearly five
years ago. Her health failing at
about that time she came to Natures
ISanitarium. Here her health improv-
ed and she continued well, until
about two weeks ago when taken Sc
riously i'll. And although all atten-
ton possible was administered by
loving hearts and willing hands, her
advanced age was against her chances
|of recovery, and the inevitable end
came as stated Had Mrs. Harrison
lived to March of this year she would
have been 80 years of age.
Funeral services were held at the
late residence in this city, Friday
morning and at the Church of Our
Lady of the Gulf, Rev. Father Paul
officiating The remains were taken
to New Orleans, where they were
lovingly laid "at rest" in the family
burial place at St. Louis Cemetery,
Esplanade avenue. Rev. Father Cara,
pastor of st. Patrick's Church, per-
forming the the ceremony. The fun
eral was largely attended by the
many friends and acquaintances of
the deceased, and the large number
of floral offerings were silent but elo-
quent tributes to the memory of one
who endeared herself during her long
span of golden years-filled with no.
bic effort and deeds of meritorious
endeavor-to the many who knew her
best. The recollection of those who
knew her is indeed lasting monu-
ment to her memory. 1t might we'll
be said, ''To have known her was to
love her, 'and though gone she is not
forgotten.
The deceased before her marriage
was Miss Mary A. Audler. She was
twice married. First to [. j. Bauduc,
hero of the civil war at New Or
leans, and later she married John
William Harrison, of the same city,
prominent and we'll known citizen.
Two children survive her, Mr.. E.
Bauduc, of New Orleans, and Mr..
VIM. J. Harrison, of Bay St. Louis.
She is also survived by a grand
daughter, Miss Aline Ransom, who
was a favorite and quite comfort
to her in her declining years, spent
in the home of Mr.. Harrison and his
ever-solicitous wife.
Surviving nieces, who the deceased
had reared, are Mrs. (Dr.) Alvah P.
Smith, of Bay St. Louis, Mrs. c. E.
Eaton, of Sumrall, Miss, and Mrs.
George Vedrine, of Opelousas, La.
The relatives have the deepest SYM
pathy of the community and of friends
elsewhere in their Bereavement.
Theirs is a great consolation to know
t-.eir departed loved one had lived a
long and useful life. Her life's work
was we'll done, and her spirit has
gone to receive its heavenly reward.

On February "a the citizens Of BIZ
loxi will vote on a bond issue OF
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars for the purpose of hard-surfacng
the streets and avenues of that city.
Already Biloxi has shown her enter
prise by surfacing her streets with
shell and keeping them for the most
part in good repair. But now civic
Interests believe that the citizens
deserve even better than they have
and no one doubts that those citizens
will respond with an overwhelming
vote for the improvement. The

health, schools and good roads, and
they believe in turning their material
prosperity to good and permanent
