Rogue chitto Picnic and Political
Speaking.

Manager A. S. Hart, is giving publ
city to the fact that big Picnic" will
be given at Bogue Chitto Picnic Park
on Monday, July 5th.
There could hardly be a trio of more
vitality interesting speakers than ex-
United States Senator James X. Varda-
man, ex-District Attorney Hugh v. Wall
and present Congressman Percy e. Quin
Regardless of previous or future af-
filiation the people should go out to
hear these men, each of whom has serv.
ed his state and his country as he has
seen fit to serve in the places to which
they have been elected by the voters OF
the state or District. This fact alone
demands interest and respect.
The ladies' especially to whom af-
fairs of state and country will soon
be Of vital interest in that they will
cast their votes in the settlement of i'm
portant issues and in the choice of can
dldates, should avail themselves of ey-
cry opportunity to hear the plain and
practical presentation of such measures
The Bogue Chitto picnic will afford
this opportunity, Messrs. Vardamar
and Quin having had experience in ma
tional affairs and Mr.. Wall being re-
markably well informed on issues in
which he is interested as a public ser.
want and as one seeking service at the
source Of relief and beneft to the peo.
pie.

Hazlehurst Wins Over Brookhaven-
Score 4 to 3.

Hazlehurst won-score to 3-over
our home team in the base ball game
played here yesterday afternoon at
PENIS Park.
The game was an interesting one, in
teresting alike to players and the large
crowd of spectators. Both the batter
les for Hazlehurst and Brookhaven did
fine work, the pitchers always holding
the batters and game as well under
good control with the backing necessary
at several junctures that saved further
scoring. The game in truth should real
ly have gone to Brookhaven had it not
been for an error along the middle OF
the game that cost the home team two
runs. Leaving aside this 'mix-up" both
teams played good ball-the kind that
the spectators who buy their tickets al
ways like to see. What appeared tc
be home run by Hazlehurst, the bat
ter hitting the ball over the right field
fence and bringing in one run, was the
main feature of the game, but the run.
ner was nipped at the home plate, due
to the fast fielding of Brookhaven.
Claude Bowen acted in that always
unsatisfactory (to himself) position OF
umpire of the game, while George Mar
quetti, of Hazlehurst passed on decis
ions on bases.

The next game scheduled for Brook
haven will be played at Hazlehurst OF
July 9Th against the latter team.

Mr.. Aylward Talks with Leader Report
er Regarding His Big sale.

How is your sale, Mr.. Aylward?"
"A big success, in fact it is the best
we have ever held, people were hun
cry for bargains and we had such
fine lot to offer them, that our sales
on last Friday and Saturday were the
largest ever recorded in the history of
our business and that's saying a lot as
last Fall we had some days that were
whoppers. 1t clearly demonstrates that
when you advertise what you have and
have what you advertise that people
will appreciate your efforts and favor
you with their patronage"
''Mr. Aylward. you seem to have some
splendid bargains in shoes and milli-
merry"
II should say we have. Just look at
all these shoes at only $1.9S per pair
and these hats at csc. Some values, chr"
well, Mr.. Aylward. after looking
around 1t, occurs to me that all depart
ments offer some extra attractions so
no wonder. your sale<is such a success"
eWell it took the Leader to get the
message to the people"
That's true, Mr.. Aylward. We sure
ly reach them"
"call again, Mr.. Reporter we are al
ways glad to see you."

BRYAN'S HOLD ON
PARTY WEAKENING
Administration Forces Have Control Of
Democratic Convention at san
Francisco.

Newspaper reports of today from San
Francisco show that the administration
forces have absolute control of the Ma
tional Convention.
An administration man, Homer Cum
~ Chairman Of the National DEM
ocratic Executive Committee, was elect
ed temporary chairman without oppo-
sition. Senator Carter Glass, the ac-
knowIedged administration representa-
tive, was elected chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, the opposition
Withdrawing and seconding his snomina-
tion. The administration candidate,
Senator Jos. T. Robinson, of Arkansas,
was unanimously elected for permanent
chairman of the convention.
Bryan sought to organize an anti-ad-
ministration fight but has failed to rally
his forces in sufficient numbers to do
any material damage.
The indications are that McAdoo will
be nominated President. In that case
Cox will probably be nominated for
vice President.
Bryan is opposed to both McAdoo and
Cox, and nobody seems to know who
he fayors for the Presidential nomina-
ton.

"WETS1 QUIETLY WORK
ING AMONG DELEGATES
Bryan says There win be MO Com
promise But Straight Out
Fight.

San Francisco. June 26.-"Wets" and
"drys" today continued their precon-
vention battle but left the outcome still
in doubt.
William Jennings Bryan formally op-
ened his fight for a prohibition platform
plank. After his election by the Ne
baaska delegation to the resolutions
copmittee, he made long and vigorous
address at luncheon of the Common
wealth Club on prohibition and other
platform declarations. He declared the
Democratic party must be saved from
the liquor interests" and predicted ut
ter rout for the "wets."
Democratic leaders favoring modifiea-
ton of the Volstead law confined their
Efforts to quiet work among state dele
cations, several claimed large accessions
to a wet or at least a damp declaration.
0fher leaders however, declared the
platform would be silent of the prohi-
bltion question and were working to-
ward that end. .
Mr.. Bryan asserts that there would
be no compromise on the prohibition
plank. He-said he would force a rec
ord vote of state and individuals if the
liquor question were brought up in the
convention. 1t is the paramount issue
before the Democrats. Mr.. Bryan de-
clAred his special purpose here was to
have dry plank incorporated in the
platform-an essential to party victory
Ia November.
The vets were encouraged by reports
from southern delegations that hopes
OF the prohibitionists for solid south"
for prohibition declaration were un-
founded The ydeclared the rule could
not be invoked on all southern delega-
tions and that many Of the southerners
were ready to vote against the prohi-
bitionists.
Mr.. Bryan told his audience today
that he sought his place on the resolu-
tions committee especially to fight for
dry plank.
Mr.. Bryan said he would welcome a
minority report from the resolutions
committee if necessary to bring the is
sue squarely before the convention.
When we are through" he continued,
the country will know whether the
Democratic party will be the chattel
property of the brewers or whether they
will, be out of business never to raise
their black flag again. There can be no
lodging the issue, no skull1ing around as
there was as Chicago. If the Democrat
ic party isn't willing to speak out after
the Supreme Court has withered every
argument of the vets, it ought to dis
solve"

GROWERS AGREE TO
PAY soc FOR GINNING


The Lincoln County Cotton Growers
Association met last Saturday morning
at 10:3O o'clock at the Court House
The purpose of the meeting was briefly
stated by President b. e. Summers who
suggested that committee be appoint
ed to make arrangements for the GIN
ming of cotton this season in order to
impress the public with the fact that
the farmers had organized and would at
tend to their own business interests.
Mr.. Fred KEGS suggested that the As
sociation change the price of ginning
from twenty-five cents per hundred to
thirty cents per hundred and no high
er. Letters containing information in
regard to the purchase of gin equipment
were read to those assembled.
Mr.. N. r. Jacks moved that the Asso-
citation pay thirty cents per hundred for
ginning this year, that the executive
committee interview Hickman Brothers
and everyone who will gin for that price
and that the committee also make ar
rangements for selling cotton seed. The
motion was carried.
In the course of this meeting, it was
proposed that during the busy season
man be appointed in each beat to So
licit members for the organization. An
other suggestion embraced a program
providing for community mass meetings
in various sections Of the county where
citizens will speak in the interest of
the Association. This was favorably
received and acted upon.
With the understanding that the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Cotton Grow
ers Association would hereafter conduct
the business of the Association except
where such business required the pres
ence of every member this session of
the Cotton Growers =. Association ad-
journed.
