Gulfport, Miss, June 30.-The sum- !
mer social whirl on the Mississippi |
Gulf Coast is now in full swing. and
visitors from all over the state are |
flocking to the coast night spots |
for their entertainment. AS has al |
ways been the case, the hotels house |
their largest crowds over the week |
ends, and most of these guests some |
from right here in Mississippi.
One of the biggest reasons for the
fine start which the coast has gotten
this summer is the sensational hit
which has been made by Boyd Rae
burn and his orchestra, who made
their very suspicious debut last Mon
day night. Raeburn has them in the
aisles all over the coast and the
crowds are rapidly increasing He is
playing on the Hotel Markham Roof,
one of the more popular of the night
spots.
There are already three other bands
on the coast, with two other places
employing bands scheduled to open
very soon.
Informality rules in all these spots.
One sees very few evening dresses,
no tux. White is the color worn
most by the male. the same for the
ladies'. Looks like a white summer

But after fifteen minutes of indecision,
the spectators commenced to get rest
less. MIR. Slappey paraded up and
down in front of the babies, making
comments. Beads of perspiration stood
out on his forehead, and his elegant
white shirt was willing. Eustace was
uttering sounds which we're far from
reassuring. So was Callous. Florian's
eyes were riveted on the door, He

only shook his head.

troops when news was brought to him
of a Tory conspiracy against the new
government He and his troops cap
tured the ringleaders and, in his capac-
ity as justice of the peace, sentenced
them to hang by their thumbs until
they would shout: Liberty Forever"
Then, to keep them out of further
mischief, he imprisoned them for the
duration of the war.
The point is, however, that he had
far exceeded both the powers and the
privileges of a lowly justice of the
peace. And so, while Judge Charles
Lynch himself occupies little place in
our history. his name is used univer-
sally to describe an "act or practice"
to quote Webster. by private persons
