NEW YEARS GIFT.

Tomorrow 10 the Arst day Of an
other year and Hattissburg feels that
it has been more favored than any
other city in the state if not in the
south. 1t is young city. scarcely n
dozen years old, but during that time
has made strides in commercial and
indumstrisl way that is phenomenal
in itself and surprise 70 the entire
population of the city. From four or
five hundred people its population has
increased to nearly seven thousand
and is rapidly increasing every day.
But as an industrial city it has
been more wonderful in the stride it
has made. 1t has quite large num-
Der of factories, some running night
and day, and which represent in the
aggregate many hundreds Of thousands
of dollars. They are the life, the
very sonl of Hattiesburg, and bring
money into its Golfers and give en-
ployment TO the unemployed and fur
nish bread and meat to hundreds of
families.
This is what Hattiesburg has done
within the past twelve years. Now
let Us see what it will do within the
next twelve years. The Progress pre-
diets thst the increase in manufac-
turing, in wealth and in population
will be still greater, for the founda-
ton has been laid and the good work
will continue to progress at even
more rapid pace than heretofore.

The farmers of the delta country
are not losing any sleep over the
whitecap outrages in the hill conn
ties. The negroes run from the conn
ties to go to the delta and as that sec
tiop has never had enough labor ye;
they are quite welcome. But it i
tough on the hill county farmers who
heretofore depended entirely upon the
negro labor for making and gathering
their crops. They are left now with
the land and the bag TO hold and the
probability is they will hold them
and let the crops slip from their grasp
another year.

The whiteUappers of the southern
part Of the state are fixing to get
themselves into a peck of trouble an0
if they do not watch out clsoely they
will be wearing stripes when they
will want TO know what they were
born for anyway. The good people
of the counties where they have made
themselves very troublesome have
done all in their power to bring about
o compromise if the whitecappers
would cease their assaults upon the
negroes, but while this had the ten
dency to cheek it for time the war
has broken ont afresh in some of the
counties, especially in Lincoln, and
many of the negroes are leaving and
the farmers apprehend that another
year there will not be labor enough
left in the county to make half . crop.

sufficient evidence it should not fail
to indict and bring these midnight

Labor Unions In an Indiana Town AR
Organizing One.


Organizing One.
The movement recently inaugurated at
Marion, Ind, for the establishment of a
church by the organized laborers of the
city has now progressed so far that there
seems to be no doubt but it will be car
ried into successful execution, for the
forty eight unions have taken up the
question, and there is said to be de-
cided preponderance of sentiment in fa
vCr of it.
The men who are interesting them
selves in the movement are members of
different denominations. and it was early
settled that the new church should be
undenominational and the preaching
should be along the lines that would es-
chew doctrine entirely so far as II relates
to the dogmas upon which the church is
now divided. 1t will therefore be open to
Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists. Luz

Liquor Product of the Country in
1900 Valued at $3A0,615,466.


For the first time the census office has
made the manufacture of alcoholic liquors
the subject of special inquiry, aud the
repert contains some interesting facts and
statistics concerning that industry never
before presented. 1t embraces wine, malt
and spirituous liquors, and finds the total
consumption IN the United States for
1900. the census year, to have been l,32o,-
35S, 094 gallons, or l7.3 gallons per capita
of the population OF this ], 1913 ,002, l0i
gallons were malt liquors, 103 ,423
distilled liquors and 23,425,56 wines.
The totals show also 1855 establishments
with an output of $500 value or more for
the year; a capital of S457, 674,0S7 en-
ployed, which represents the value of
land, buildings, machinery, tools and inn
plements and the live capital utilized, but
does not include the capital stock of any
of the manufacturing corporations. The
value of the products is returned at S340,-

outlay of $14, 301 GA for salaries of eff
Gals, clerks. etc. $2S005, 4S4 for wages;

including rent. taxes, internal revenue,
etc, and I0,512, 042 for materials used,
mill supplies, freight and fuel. 1t is not
TO be assumed, however, that the diff
ference betweeA the aggregate of these
sums aud the value of he products is in
any sense Indicative of the profits in the
manufacture of the products during the
census year. The census schedule takes
no cognizance of the cost of selling mar
ufactured articles or Of interest on cap
ital invested, or of the mercantile losses
incurred in the business, or of deprecia-
ton in plant. The ya.1e of the product
given is the value as obtained or fixed

The total value of the product is made
up of S6,547 $40 wines. S96,79S, 443 dis
tiled liquors and 1927 ,2G9,713 malt liq-
uors.
The production of malt liquors in the

extraordinary manner during the last

known. Reginald, however, following the
traditions of the Vanderbilt family, made
