STEAMER PERCY SWAIN HIT A
SNAC.
Vicksburg Herald, Oct. 18th.

Capt. o. X. Wilds, secretary and
manager Of the Royal Route Com.
pany, of which he is one of the prin-
cipal owners, yesterday received q
telephone message from a member Of
the crew of the steamer Percy Swain
stating that the boat struck a snae
100 yards south of Gibson's Landing,
the first landing out Of Natchez on
her way up, and the boat was at
once turned towards the shore, al
most reaching the bank and settled
down in four feet Of water.
Some freight was lost, but nobody
was injured. The boat left Natchez
yesterday morning with a heavy car
60 Of freight and was due here this
morning, to leave at 10 o'clock for
the southbound trip. She hit the
snag shortly after the noon hour.
1t was also reported that the boa
is lying in about the same position
she was in when she sank some time
ago, while lying at the wharfbOas at
Natchez and can be raised withou
much trouble. As was the case at
Natchez, heavy ropes and chains have
been used, to hold the boat upright,
the ropes and chains being fastened
to trees on shore.
Captain Ed Prince IS master Of the
boat. He is one of the best men in
the business and understands thor
oughly just what should be done in
an emergency.
His brother, Capt. George Prince,
president of the company, was in
Rosedale yesterday, expecting to re-
turn to Vicksburg last night, but in
stead Of stopping over, he continued
his way to Natchez and will 60 to
the Percy Swain early this morning.
1t was also reported that one Of
the government snagboats is near
Eatchez. Her master has been not
fled and the boat will proceed at
once to the relief of the Swain.
The Percy Swain is almost q new
boat. She was bull. by the SWANS
at Saltwater, Mimi, in 1912, and sold
to the Royal Route Company .ir
1918.
Upon receiving notice Of the acci-
dent to the boat, Capt. Wi:ds sent
kilograms in every direc.io, trying to
locate a boat to be used in tie Vicks
burg and Natchez trade until the
Swain can be raised and repaired.
The company has another boat, the
Uncle Oliver, billed to leave this af-
ternoon for Greenville, she will make
this trip, and it is probable she will
be sent to Natchez on her return, rs
the company will exert every effort
" ssetest tAs trade n this territory.

Music Chairman Writes on ~JaEz."

Dancing to Mozart minuets,
Strauss waltzes, and Sousa two
steps. would never lead to the cor
set check room which now holds
sway in hotels, clubs and dance
halls. Nor would a girl who wore
corsets in those days have been
dubbed Old Ironsides, and left a
disconsolate wall flower in corner
of the ball ROOM" says Mrs. Mark
e. Oberndorfer, national music
chairman of the General Federation
of Music clubs.
The question appears in an ar
ticles entitled Does Jazz put the
Syn in Syncopation," written by
Mrs. Oberndorfer in the interest OF
better music. This article which
appears in the August number of
the Ladies' Home Journal, points
out music, how music may become
an influence for evil. 1t directs
particular criticism to jazz, offer
ing evidence that jazz produces a
definite demoralizing effect upon
the human brain.
Mrs. Oberndorfer continues:
"Jazz originally was the acorn
pahiment to voodoo rites stimulat-
ing the half-crazed barbarian to the
vilest deeds.
After pointing out the evil Gre
ated by jazz Mrs. Oberndorfer con-
cludes with a plea for good music
it can and will give. She says the
department of the General
Federation of Music clubs, has
music popular and popular music
good" The article shows how the
women of America can help the
club women carry out this motto in
every home until all the music in
our land becomes an influence for
good.
Mrs. Oberndorfer feels good mu-
sic and the cultivation of the tastes
of the young people is "A problem
for the American parents" and it
is their best efforts and hearty CO
operation which is urged.
Writing to Mrs. l.. M. Ruedy of
Davenport, vice president of the
Iowa Federation and of Music
clubs Mrs. Oberndorfer asks that
the interest of local clergymen in
III 5IAS DelIeT nuSlC III IHe uOueS,
and doing away with the insuffer-
able jazz, be taken up. She writes:
Il desire the clergymen all over
the country to take the right stand
on jazz and to realize what we
women are now doing"
All interested in better music
are asked to read Mrs. Oberndorf-
er's article and to use their infiu-
ence to do away with the noisy
voodoo style of dance tunes pervad-
ing dance halls.
