}
As previously announced, a mass
meeting of the citizens of McKitnney
/ was held at the court house Tues-
day night for the purpose of discuss-
ing the commission fprm of govern-
ment'proposed for tHls city, and the^er it
nomination of candidates for a may-
or^and two commissioners to serve
in case the people hould decide In
favor of tl\e commission form at the
efection to be held here on Novem-
ber 6.
.The attendance was fairly good,
the aud^ice bqlng made up of rep-
resentative fcltizepa frqm all walks
of life, and much interest was mani-
fested in the issue. The meeting
was called to order at 7.40 by Hon.
Clarence Merrltt, who. in a plain,
straightforward manner, stated the
object of the meeting, and announc-
ed that tho first thing to be donf
waft to elect a chairman.
On motion of P. D. Perkins M
Mertrltt was unanimously chosen to
preside over the meeting, and on mo-
tion of J. Perry Burrus. Vernon Gar-
rison was elected secretary. After
further explaining the object of the
meeting, and urging the calm, bnsi-
ness-like discussion and considera-
tion of the Imuc and the subject
for which the meeting was calle i,
he asked the pleas ire of the meet-
ing. Upon motion of J. Perry Bur-
rus, tho chair appointed a commit-
tee of throb from each of ib«. lour
wards of the oity to select and ice*
onimnid nominations for a mayor
and two commissioners. This com-
mittee was composed of the follow'
Ing gentlemen: J. PerrV Burn s,
Waiter Howell, George Russell, W.
T. Hoard, Jojin Ferguson, Joe W.
Barnes, .lohn Peun, Avery • Howell,
Van Brown. Angus Hunter and F.
Dudley Perkins, F. C. Thompson, .1.
L. Greer.
The committee retired to deliber-
ate aid make the selections, and the
meeting was' messed for a few min-
utes.
Dr. Wiley suggested that while
waiting for the committee report,
that some of the citizens he heard
as to their views on the question l.i
hand. He announced that lie wns I..
favor of a change in the form of i ity
government, and wanted to hear
from others
S«Sotty Forsvth asked for informa-
tion as to the power of the com-
mission and was answered hv the
rhnlrman that the commission would
have no more power, except in tin'
appointment of heads of depart-
ments, than the present city coun II
and mayor.
Alderman Bass stvld that the com-
mission form of govnrnmept would
probably meet all the requirements
of a small town like telina and Fris-
co, but for a city like *MeKlunpy, it
would not prove beneficial, In ills
opinion. That the only way by
which greater things could be
tyehioved by McKlnney, under any
kind of a government, would be to
raise tho taxes, and that could not
be done without a special charter,
and he did not believe the jvople
would approve of any plan by, which
their taxes would be raised.
F. Dudley Perkins argued that a
special charter would naturally fol-
low the adoption of a commission
form of government, and that be be-
lieved the'people of McKlnney would
cooperate In securing a special char-
tor. No city, he said, cotil^ advance
as it should, without a more liberal
scope of responsibility that was a"-
corded- the city council in an ordi-
narily incorporated city.
N. A. Burton, taking up the nint-
ter of the saving to the city by em-
ploying only three Instead of nine
men to direct the business affairs of
the city, said that only $1,080 would
be saved to the city, even at the rate
of pay it was announced the com-
missioners would receive—$5.00
per month. "\nd," he said, "what
would that amount to' A mere trifle
1n n city like McKlnney."
By Invitation, Mayor Doggott
> made a strong speech opposing Jhe
commission form of government and
defending the actions of the proet^it
and past administration. He saTd
that he was submitting for publica-
tion a series of articles which fully
covers every cent of rovenue and ex-
pense in the transaction of the city's
affairs. He made some vdFy strik-
ing comparisons, which were round-
ly applauded.
At the close of hlB address the
recommending committee announced
read# to report* and upon motion
the report was received and the com-
mittee was discharged The report
recomtnendod the following: For
mayor, Hon. H. A. Finch: for com-
missioners, Joe W. Barnes and Sam
. Massle. Massie asked that his name
' be not considered, but bis request
wA.b not recognied, and the ticket as
named was presented to tho meowing
for a vote, and It was accepted by
unanimous vote.
Upon motion the chairman was
authorized to appoint a committee
of three to secure signatures of
voters sufficient tb have the names
of the candidates placed on the tick-
et for the city election which Is to
be held on November R. This com-
mittee was named as follows: F t).
Perkins, John ft. Ferguson and Clift
Emerson. t
* Talks were made by N. A. Burton,
questioning th<P position of the chair,
which was answered; by I. E.
Reeves opposing tltoJasue: by Alder-
man Bsbs, opposing, who asked,
"What is the maker with MeKln-
■K
advancing about as fast as any other
city In tho country.
A short talk was made by George
Cobb, refuting any Intimation that
the McKlnney Light Cpt" had any
connection Jn any form or manner,
jwith the movement for a commis-
sion form of government for person-
al Interests.
At this point a number of speak-
ers asked for recognition, so Ale of

KIPLY WORDS FOR
THEIR OLD FRIENDS
As noted In these columna some
ago, Judge and Mrs. John E. Bur-
rags recently arrived here fum
their old home at Shuqualak; MlW,
and will henceforth make their home
In this city, where all their children
had proceeded them. As an evi-

these splendid people...are held In
their old home, the following from
the Shuqualak New Era, la re-
produced: i
Judge Burrage Going to Texas.
Judge John E. Burrage and wife
will go to Texas in a few days. Hav-
ing known the Judge for many years,
we part with him reluctantly, he
having been a citizen of this county
about all his life and a citizen of
our town for 30 years during which
time we have known him under all
circumstances, from which a thor-
ough knowledge of his character, a
good Mason and A patriotic citizen.
His usefulness Is always to be relied
on, especially in necessity, such as
was witnessed from 1XG5 to 1870,
when he was instrumental In the*eli-
mination of carpet bag rule in Mis-
sissippi.
The strongest ties of any man, his
children, are all now living in Texas,
consequently belaud his good lady
are going there to join them. To
state that Texas' gain is our loss,
does^not express our feelings even In
part. We commend him to the com-
munity In which he may locate as
being worthy of their appreciation.
We sincerely regret to see a map. of
his usefulness leave our community,
but knowing that his t>ast judgment'
and knowledge of the future war-
rants tlie wisdom of his present, ac-
tion, we consider it a privilege to
say what may be said by all who
know him. The latch key nungs out
side of every door in Noxubee coun-
ty and a hearty welcome to him or
his if he ever returns to our town.

One of the show places on the Pa-
cific Coast la Santa Catalina Island,
reached In a two hours ocean trip
from San Pedro. On the way acrosB
the gradual disappearance of the main-
land and the coming into view of the
place of destination gave a seat to
every minute, and the flying fish were
most interesting to the youngsterB on
board. They are from 7 to 8 Inches
long and have a large fin on each side
which they can spread out and use
like wings, but they never rise mors
than a foot or two above the surface
and do very well while they keep wet,
say for about 30 seconds^ One small
whale made its appearance, but too
far away and visible for too short ^
time to be described. Round trip
costs $2.50, and two ocean steamers
leave the mainland at 9 a. m. and 2
p. m. each day, having a capacity for
950 and 625 passengers respectively.
This island is of volcanic origin, Is 22
miles long and from l to 8 miles wide,
is very rocky and rises abruptly en
of the ^ater, except at the landing
place, Ipe highest point having an
elevation of 2209 feet.

bay on the "landward" side of the Is-

here Is the town of AValon, it has "7
hotels about half as many restaurants
and the business housws are engaged
in catering to the wants, real or aril-
flclal, of ihe tourists.
One striking feature of the town Is
"The Canvas City" consisting of a
great number of tents of various siz-
es fit to accommodate from one per-
son up lo a large family. The tents
an' lighted with electricity, have h.gn
walls, smooth board floors and are
furnished either for light housekeep-
ing or boarding oat. The drainage
and sewerage are modern and the
prices as follows: A tent 10 feet by
12 feet $0.00 pvr week or $20.00 per
mentli; then various pizes up to Id
feet by 24 feet for which the price is
double the above. The cottage and
boarding house rates are nigher and
ihe hotels, almost all, charge $1.00
per day and over, for each person,
wltlidut meals. A good many people
own small eottaoes which they occupy
during their vacations, but they aio
more tenants at will and pay yearly

pie to be seen uere looks like a little
forest from G feet to 16 feet high, sage
green in color and the salt Incrusta-
tions resemble dewdrops on the
sterna tmd large leaves. There are
smaller growtns, darker in shade,
which look like ferna and mosaea.
Patches of the ocean bottom of dif-
ferent sizes are visible through the
foliage and fiBh are seen at rest or
moving lazily around In their native
element. There were ahoala <X Bar-
dines. but other uenisens of the deep
were not numerous, yet I saw gold
fish, whits and black bass, sheep
head, and silver tail, the latter weigh-
ing from 15 to 60 lbs. There were al-
so fish with which I was not familiar,
but they were named bonlta> barracu-
da, and alblcore, none of them large.
The barracuda is fine for the table. 1
was told that occasionally there la
aeen a "tuma" weighing from 80 to
280 lbs. At the wharf were exhibited
a sword fish and three of an uneatable
speclea of bass, recently caught,
weighing over 100 lbs. each.
The trip went part of the way
around the island coast a short dis-
tance from the shore, the deepest part
being about 60 feet.. At a point about
half that depth, where the bottom
was sandy, a man jumped overboard
and swam under the boat, back and
forth, and dived to the bottom and
brought un shells. Most of the pas-
sengers wer.t into ecBtacies at every-
thing they saw, and the sight wa cer-
tainly beautiful, but ns I Tiavc hnd the
privilege of soelng the coral forma-
tl^is off the Bahama Islands (Ihe
ninst BtihllmP submarine spectacle In
'he world) I was able to restrain my
feelings.
The trip included a ^sight of the
seal rocks. These animals, in shape
and in the noise they make, resemble
the black seal seen in circuses, hut
they are very much larger; tnelr fur
If a tawny brown and valueless, hence

The Island Is the property of the
fanning family, the father of the
present owners having bought It un-
improved at $40,000. The Bannlngs
own not only the Island but the hotels

fishing consists of a long, slim stick
with a worm at one,end and a fool at
the other.
As the high ground behind tlie bay
protects It from the winds the water
is smooth and almost waveless and is
fine for boating and bathing. The
bottom, however, is not saudy and al-
though many of the people go in bare-
footed, some get hurt on sharp peb-
bles, and ns they were out of slippers
at the bath house over No. 9's, I was
deprived of the pleasure of a plunge
daring the two days I stayed. When
ft comes to feet, I can sing, "wifh the
heart and with the understanding
also" that portion of one of Watts'
hymns which says:
"Nof more than others I deserve
Yet God has given me more."
The East end of the crescent ends
'n a high narrow promotory having
the ocean on three sides and terminat-
ing in a cone. This has ueen nicely
improved with walks, from the water
up. circling around the face of the
hill, the spaces between tho walks be-
ing planted in trees, shrubs and flow-
ers and on the top Is a miniature lake
stocked with fish. The summit is al-
so reached by a cog line railroad at
an angle of 45 degrees. < At the base
and to the right of the cog1 line is an
ornamental hand stand, facing the
steep hill. In front of the stand is a
rude Greek theater, the seats pf which
nre of wood, each row ina semi-circle,
one behind the other, back and up,
following the natural grade of the
hill, with steps in the aisles, and ca-
pable of accommodating several thou-
sand people, and where an excellent
free concert is given every night ex-
cept Sunday. ThlB entire hill is bril-
liantly lighted as soon as daylight
ends and presents a splendid appear-
ance.
Between the band stand and the
town Is a large dancing pavilion which
Is well patronized.
On the other end of the crescent Ib
a wireless telegraph station approach-
ed by long steep steps. Each of the
ocean steamers has a wireless apa-
ratus.
Behind the town is a winding coach
road up to the summit of the island
where are golf links said to be the
most picturesque In America, and,
close by, are tennis courts for the use
of visitors.
The principal attraction Is a view of
"The Submarine Gardens,' Steam-
boats are provided with the bottoms
fitted with thick glass, about 3 feet
wide, on each of which, and running
ror nearly the whole lengih of the

passengers can sit and look down and
