The Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Pro-
gress has discovered real live curl
osity.. 1t states that dit ran across
man the other day who Is opposed to
railroads. One is being constructed
through his property aud he says he is
ruined. He says soon there will not
be a stick of timber ON his land and
that the land will be gobbled up by q
syndicate. When we asked what the
timber was put here for If not for the
use of man and what the land was
made for if not to be cultivated by
man. whereby he might live aud pro-
vide for those under bis care, be
screwed his mouth around aud said he
thought God had put them here tor an
ornament, or at least that is the way
be talked. But it is a waste of time to
argue with such men-men who de-
not believe 1t is right TO wear socks
because they were mol born with them

cause be would be trying to react
heaven by some other means than thu

everything can be arranged we will
put in the necessary machinery and
commence work. The factory will be
operated in connection with our tim
Der company, and will work up what
lumber our mills can saw for the pur-
pose" The fact that factory will be
started in Lake Providence Is signifi-
cant of the general improvement OF
the town. That the enterprise will
succeed is certain, as Mr.. Fischer is one
OF the best business men 10 the parish.
Mr.. Haywood, a skilled turner, will be

Wa understand that Mesers. Root.
Nicholson, II. H. Graham and Beverly
Buckner, large planters in the lower
part of the parish, have accomplished
a great thing lately in the way OF
securing labor for their plantations,
II is said that these gentlemen nave
already secured one hundred coiored
families. which is big thing when we
come TO averaging them at five TO
family. Ii is said that this labor Is
leaving some of the counties IN M'ss,s-
sippi. and that several more families
will be secured by the different plan
tation owners. This is great thing
for East Carroll as labor is getting
dreadfully scarce by new places being
fopeped and several hundred colored
people moving to the back country.
A large amount of labor is always
coming TO our parish, for the reason
that they are treated right, but this
last venture OF securing so many al
one time, beats all records. A negro
would rather be along a railroad than
anywhere on earth, aud when The road
is built through the parish labor Will
always be plentiful as il is known to be
along the Y. & NJ. v. r. r. across the
river from Us.

DAMAGE CLAIMS GALORE
They Are to Be Presented by Prop
erty Owners Who Suffered from
Flood-Who Is Liablep

Damage claims running way up into
| the thousands are going to be present.
ed to somebody for losses sustained in
South Scranton by the disastrous flood
Of last Sunday, but just who this some
body is has not yet been decided by
the attorneys representing the interests
of the persons whose property was
damaged.
Attorney A. A. Chase has been re-
tanned by a number of the property
holders to look after their interests and
he said yesterday afternoon that he
would have big batch of claims to
present just as soon as he decided who
to present them to.
There are so many things to which
the flooding of the flats can be attrib-
uted that he is at loss to know who
is the responsible party. Mr.. Chase,
representing a number OF property
owners, sued the Jersey Central rail-
road company some ten years ago for
damages caused by flood at that
time, contending that inasmuch as the
company had encroached upon the riv-
er bed in constructing its line it was re-
spons!ble for the diversion of the
stream from it's regular course. The
the Supreme court that the Scranton
and Wilkes Barre Construction COM
pany, which built the road and not the
railroad company was the party to be
sued. This company finally settled with
Mr. Chase's clients.
Since that time, Mr.. Chase says, 9TH
er things have been done which had Il
part in contributing to Sundays flood
One Of these, he says, has been the
narrowing of the channel by the Lack
awanna Iron and Steel company and he
is not altogether certain but that the
city could be declared negligent in
permitting this narrowing and thus be-
come party to the suit.
A most interesting point will be
raised by Mr.. Chase il it is found nec-
essary to bring a suit and that is the
question as to whether the corporation
responsible in any way for the damage
caused by the flood would not also be
responsible for dar!2~res caused by the
depreciation in property values result
ing from the always present danger
of food.
Mr.. Chase expects to he able to am
nounce very shortly the name of the
corporation to which the damage
claims are to be presented.

Nearly all of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western colleries, which
were forced into idleness by the recent
flood, and the shortage of cars, re-
sumed operations yesterday, and those
remaining idle will resume today. No
serious damage was reported from any
of them, but it was impossible to work
them because no cars We're available
to carry away the coal mined.
All of the Delaware and Hudson col
lieries are working, and the general
trend of operations has been resumed
in the anthracite fields.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western employees will be paid before
Christmas, but the schedule has not
vet been completed, and may not be
announced before tomorrow. This will
be pleasing to ALL as some doubt
was entertained about the pays being
made until the latter part of next
week
