The cause which destroyed the Con.
solidated School building and teach
ers' home has not at yet been deter
mined, but since the fire followed an
entertainment given at the school
house the same evening of the night
of the fire, it is conjectured that a
cigarette butt discarded into a waste
basket in proximity to the stage and
it's scenery setting is responsible for
the loss sustained. The people OF
Sellers were justly proud of their
school building. They had volun-
tarily been taxed heavily in order to
speedily pay for it's cos t.
But the fire and subsequent loss
has not dampened their interest OF
their ardor in the premises. On the
contrary, their intention is to build
not only larger but better. They
propose that two-story brick struc-
ture take the place of the building
destroyed, but as the estimated cost
of such building is $4,000, and a
similar structure of frame would ap-
proximately cost 1000, it is expected
the latter type will be adopted.
County Superintendent T. E. Kel-
lar visited Sellers during the week in
official capacity. He says the people
are saddened by the loss of their
beautiful building, which was com.
paratively new, but they are neither
dismayed nor daunted. That they are
already active, and through the
school authorities will apply to the
Board of Supervisors for an immedi.
ate rebuilding of the school.
The insurance amounts to $4,000
There are $4,000 on the main build.
ng and 81 900 on the teachers build
ing. Superintendent Kellar says
when the people will rebuild they
propose to have one of the most CON-
plete and modern Of school buildings
of its size in the State. And The
Echo is satisfied that this intention
will be fully carried out.

Has Never Been Beaten For Amy
Office and His Clean Personal
Life VIII Appeal Strongly
to the Men and Women
of Mississippi
NO DEFINITE ANNOUNCEMENT
YET MADE BY HIM.
Judge johnson States Positively That
He Will Not Be a Candidate
For Reelection to Con-
gress.

Congressman Paul B. Johnson, of
the Sixth District, who has been down
home for a few days, spent Wednes-
day in Jackson, says the Jackson
Clarion-Ledger.
Judge johnson stated positively,
as has heretofore been announced,
that he would not be candidate for
reelection to Congress, he having de-
cided on this course many months
ago. Since that announcement was
made, however, there has been per-
sistent call coming from every sec
ton of the State and from every
class, but particularly from the wom-
en- and the rural districts, for him
to make the race for governor.
The record of Judge Johnson as
an official, beginning as police justice
in Hattiesburg, when he was a
young boy, and when the town was
just growing up and filled with
gamblers, whiskey sellers and other
violators of the law, and continuing
on through his terms as circuit judge
and later as congressman, has par
ticularly appealed to the women of
Mississippi, and it is from them that
he is receiving the greatest encour-
agement to make the race for gov
ernor.
Judge Johnson some months ago
introduced a bill in Congress making
it unlawful for women to smoke Gig
arettes in public places. This was
inspired by the scenes in hotels,
cafes and other public places in
Washington, of beautifully dressed
women smoking with an unconcern
and abandon that was particularly
shocking to men from the South.
This, however, was only in line with
all of his other official ac.s.
No official in Mississippi has done
more for law enforcement, to bring
about prohibition in this State and
to stop the illegal sale of whiskey
than Judge Johnson. This is also
true as to all other forms Of law
violation in his district while cir
cult judge, according to the state
ments of ministers and other lead
ing citizens of that section of the
State.
Judge Johnson is a home man, a
family man, a man whose personal
life is clean and wholesome, and
should he decide to make the race for
governor, the men and women of
Mississippi who fully appreciate the
Importance Of electing a man of this
kind to this high office, will rally to
his support from every section of the
State, according to statements of his
friends.

effort, and success crowns the work

The Echo wishes to take occasion
here to remark that the session of
he Bay St. Louis public schools, now
asst drawing to a close, has been sue
essful in every manner. The Board
of Trustees selected we'll their corps
of teachers, and, headed by Prof.
Leon McCluer as superintendent, as
sisted by the different principals,
Miss Pearson of Central, Miss Hymel
of Webb and Miss Breath of Taylor,
the work has been of a very high
quality, efficiency in every depart
pent seeming to be the watchword.
Well organized, a thorough discipline
and harmony pervading in every
channel of the school work, these
have been the essentials that have
contributed to the success of the

wife, Stella Gex, both deceased, and
a granddaughter of Mrs. V. NJ. Gex,
she was reared in this city and with
her grand parents since infancy. A
pupil and graduate of st. Joseph S
Academy, of Bay ST. Louis, and later
pupil of Sophie Newcomb College,
at New Orleans, she reached the es-
tate of young womanhood endowed
with culture and native refinement
developed; accomplished and of most
gracious personality. Vivian, as she
has been fondly referred to by all
who know her, has been the very idol
of the community, a-cherished flower,
nutored by the love and affection of
those who knew her best, esteemed
by all who know her. Although a
petted and fondled daughter of a
happy home, idolized by the many,
it was often remarked that she was
free from the fate of fulsome atten-
ton, and it is this democratic quail
ity, her sympathetic qualities and
freedom from the foibles and con-
ceits of the world that won for her
so lasting and deep a recess in the
hearts of her townspeople. We
know of no tribute more worthy. The
warmth of the spirit of those who
know us best is more to be desired
than the worlds gold. Caesars gold
is no tribute to the love of those we
know.

wishes and congratulations with the
host of friends. May the happiness

pi National Guards, there will no
doubt be crowd this evening at $3.50
o'clock to witness the boxing carni-
val on the company's training
grounds at S. S. C. Park.
This series of programs is part
of the company's training, and since
an admission is charged on these spe-
cial occasions, the fund thus realized
will be appropriated to pay for the
equipment of the armory. Howitzer
Company, of which c. l.. Waller is
captain, and E. J. ArceneauX is lieu
tenant, has many friends. There will
be two reasons for the large attend
ance anticipated, the popularity of
the organization and the excellence
of the program for tonight, as fol-
lows:
Kid Hill, Cedar Point champion,
VS.. Louis Favre, champion of Bing-
ham.
Young Leonard, 1876 lbs, VS.. Jack
Lott, 1876 lbs. of Kiln, Miss.
Kid Thomas, $50 lbs, VS.. Young

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS
DUE.

Mr.. Silas Mayor, former resident
of Bay st. Louis, who has been
spending the week in this city, has
returned to New Orleans. Mr.. May
or came over to personally attend to
the beautiful and effective floral dec
orations which were so notable at
the church and house for the Prague
Ducatel wedding this week. The con-
tract for this work was given to the
New Orleans firm of P. Alderman,
of which Mr.. Mayor is actively con-
nected, and how artistically the work
was carried out is best attested to by
the unanimous expression of admira-
tion by all who were present.
Mr.. Mayor is yet young man and
in his chosen line of life's work has
a great future. He has been gener-
ally complimented on the success of
his efforts, all of which is indeed de-
serving.

''BLOOMER GIRLS" ARE
COMING HERE TUESDAY
Aggregation of Lady Ball Twirlers
Is Coming to Bay St. Louis Next
Tuesday Afternoon-Manager H.
F. Egloff Has Secured an Engage
ment of the All Star Athletic Girls
Baseball Club-A Galaxy of Stars
Will Engage the Bay St. Louis
Home Team.

Henry F. Egloff, manager of the
Bay st. Louis Home Team, has Sc
cured a game for his team with the
lady ball twirlers, known as the ALI
Star Athletic Girls Baseball Team,
to play at the local ball grounds on
next Tuesday afternoon at $50
o'clock. This is a travelling profes-
sional ball team that has a record of
having won rs per cent of the games
played. And whenever the "bloomer
girls" have appeared large crowds
have been the result, and another re-
suit is that a good game has pleased
one and all.
The advertising literature says:
This is the fastest girls ball team
that has visited this section, demon
strating it's ability by winning over
rs per cent of the games played.
The manager of the girls, the famous
Maud Nelson, has used great care
and judgment in organizing a team
composed of so many "stars," having
all the girls of proven ability that
have ever played on any bloomer
team.
Special mention is made of Miss
Peggie Cunningham, the only south
paws lady pitcher in the country;
also Miss Amy Kneisuer, a right
handler, two of the greatest girl pitch
ers playing ball today. To see either
one work on the mound is well worth
the price of admission.
''It would take too much space and
time to repeat all the nice things said
about each individual player, but we
will add that each player is a star
in her respective position; so don't
miss the chance of seeing girls who
really play the game"
The general price of admission is
so cents, children 25 cents. There
ought to be a record-breaking attend
ance to witness the game. Manager
Eglof's efforts ought to be encour-
aged

OUR BABY SISTER.

Bay st. Louis, our little sister city
to the west, appears not to be salts
fed with its monopoly of "fried oys-
ters and stuffed crabs" industry, but
is now going after a share in the
strawberry growing movement, so as
to be able to offer these luscious
fruit to the weary, sleepy and hum
cry passengers on the L. & N.-Pass
Christian Beacon.
And may we not in time supply
our baby sister city to the east with
the luscious berry? And our dairy
industry might supply the cream.

RECENT HAMMOND
VISIT TO GIVE RESULTS
County Agent S. r. O'Neal Calls a
Meeting of Representative Busi-
ness Men and Others of This Com
munity at Courthouse Wednesday
Night to Consider the Introduc-
tion and Development of the
Strawberry Industry, As Viewed
in louisiana Last Week.

S. F. O'Neal, county agent for
Hancock county, has isued call for
a meeting of representative business
men and others of this community at
the courthouse, on Wednesday even
ing, May 3rd, at 7:30 o'clock, ''for
the purpose of planning ways and
means towards the agricultural de-
velopment of this section, and more
especially towards the development
Of local strawberry growing indus
try"
Mr.. O'Neal adds to his call for
the meeting: "Your presence is
earnestly requested at this meeting,
that you may be able to give us the
benefit of your advice and support
in this movement"
This call is the result of the recent
visit to Hammond, La, and vicinity
of delegation of business men from
Bay St. Louis, headed by Mr.. O'Neal,
who made the trip by auto last week
and personally investigated the in
dustry-from the field to the con-
sumer, making inquiry into the diff
ferent phases of the business. AS al
ready stated in these columns, it was
a revelation to these gentlemen, and
when they turned homeward they
were satisfied that the strawberry
could be grown in Bay ST. Louis and
vicinity to greater advantage.
At the Forthcoming meeting the
subject will be discussed thoroughly
with view of planting no less than
400 acres in berries here next year.
This is the minimum acreage neces-
sary in order to make the business
worth while. Already over 500 acres
in berry cultivation for next year
have been pledged. Farmers and
other owners of land hereabouts will
be interested to attend this meeting.
Mr.. O'Neal and others will have a
message worth while. 1t is of vital
concern to this community. An in
dustry that will bring three millions
of dollars into a community like it
will at Hammond this season is wor-
thy of serious consideration, and we
are glad to note that Bay st. Louis
is going into the proposition.
