London, Aug. 9.-It is officially an
nounced that the king has borne the
coronation ceremony very well. He is
not suffering any fatigue.
Edward was crowned King of Great
Britain and Ireland and emperor of
India at 1921 today.
Alexandra was crowned queen and
empress at 1859.
The king left the abbey at 200
o'clock.
AS the king entered the palace the
crowds sang the national anthem.
The rain, which had held off all day,
began to fall as he entered the palace.
London, Aug. 9-King Edward VII,
after a seven weeks battle with death,
was triumphantly crowned ruler of the
worlds mightiest empire at West
minister abbey today shortly after the
abbey chimes tolled out the MONDAY
hour. The crown was placed on his
head at 1921.
Surrounded on all sides by scarlet
loUSu DcSlS dHu w ulCS SdIll-
peeresses, Edward solemnly swore to
govern according to the laws of parlia-
ment whereupon the entire abbey
rang with shouts of greeting and ex-
pressions of loyalty. The crown was
placed upon the head of, Queen Alex
andra at 1853.
The most republican spectator must
have been impressed with the solem-
nifty of the occasion. The deep chants
of the choir and the sonorous diction
of the clergy reverberated from the
walls of the stately abbey, where the
mightiest men in the kingdom were
gathered together to swear allegiance
to and humble themselves before
their sovereign.
AS the royal procession entered the
abbey opera glasses from all parts of
the great hall were leveled at his
majesty, despite the rigidity of court
etiquette, which forbids any one star
ing at his august person.
Clouds Obscure the Sun.
The morning opened with brilliant
sunshine, but later the sky was over
cast. No rain fell, however, and a

BIG RALLY AT
SALT LAKE CITY

Salt Lake, Aug. 9.-Hundreds of
Knights of Pythias on their way to
the annual conclave at San Francisco
are in Salt Lake and their number
will be swelled by thousands today
An elaborate program of entertain
ment has been prepared by the local
lodges.
Salt Lake, Aug. 9.-Every train in
to Salt Lake is bringing crowds of
Elks and visitors to the annual meet
ing of the grand lodge of Elks which
will begin next Tuesday. Officials of
the grand lodge will arrive today.
George H. Cronk's election as grand
exalted ruler is looked upon as a
foregone conclusion. Gran0 Secre-
tary George A. Reynolds of Saginaw,
for reelection, apparently has no OPP
position. For the other grand Offices
brisk contests are anticipated.

many Of the participants forgetting
their parts.
The coronation was an incident of
today. The temperance of the king
in public after his nearly fatal illness
was the event which brought the
crowds and animated the enthusiasm.
, Six weeks ago the various features OF
the medieval pageant would have at
tracted the whole attention, but today
! all thought and pity were directed to
! the sick king, barely convalescent,
! pluckily undertaking a fatiguing duty.
Despite the disappointment he had
/ given them, Edward was undoubtedly
| dearer to his people for his illness, and
/ nothing could have exceeded the 10y
atty of their greeting. The queen, too,
was hailed not so much as the second
! figure in the ceremony, but as the wife
and nurse who had kept faithful vigil
so many weeks.
The spectacle itself was shorn of
many of it's glories and the crowd was
not as large as it undoubtedly would
have been in June, and was composed
more exclusively of Londoners. Tour
j lists who had journeyed to the first
ceremony from all parts of the world
had not the heart to come again. The
! police were in full force, but took
only ordinary precautions to handle
the crowd, instead of the eXtraordi-
/ nary ones prepared in June.
Nor were provisions for sight-seers
so much in evidence. The government
stands up Constitution Hill remain
and were filed largely with officers
in uniform and ladies in bright toilets.
, In Piccadilly there were few stands,
but many Of the clubs, which before
had immense stands, today had none
at all. All the clubhouses were deco
rated, however, and members filled
! the windows.
City Spends Nothing.
The municipality, which had spert
! 100000 on previous decorations, this
time spent nothing and left all to
| private enterprise. Residents OF ST.
James street subscribed $4,000 and
erected rows of white poles thirty-fve
feet high festooned with IVY Each
pole was ornamented at the top by
crown.

YAQUIS' FIERCE FIGHT.
Horrible Deed of Blood That BEGAN
Four Years War.

Crawling snakelike through densely
tangled masses Of cactus bushes,
their dark, leathery skins scarcely
showing against the shadows of the
brush, the head chief of the Yauuis
and his followers came to the confer
ence with the MeXicans. Seventeen
dark bodies lay under the southern
Sky that night, each in It's pool of
blood, as the Mexican soldiers went
back to Hermosillo.
Such, they say, was the beginning
of the war that has been waged for
four years between the Mexican gov
eminent and the struggling remains of
4aquls, once among the most power
ful, as they are the noblest, of the
native tribes of southwestern America.
Taller than other Indians OF Mexico
and California, they seem in every
way built on a nobler plan. They at
tanned their prominence over their
fellows as well by their ability to work
as by their superior physical prowess.
Theirs had become fertile country
through their own efforts at cu1tiva-
ton.
When, therefore, the Mexican gov
eminent sold their lands, the Indians
withdrew reluctantly at the encroach-
ment OF the concessionaires At first
peaceable, then hostile, finally an
open warfare marked their retreat.
Clad only in breech clout and
leathern mOccasins, they penetrate
thicketS whose thornS would tear to
pieces the flesh of a white man. They
live in the abandoned caves of the
cliff jewellers, where no white man
dare to climb. They go through days
Of heat and miles of alkali dust with
out drop of water, mojstening their
lips only with the bitter juice of
cacti. They make use of every weapon
they can find, from the rifle of the
patrol they have just killed to the

Queen Alexandra wore a gown of
yellow satin with long purple train
embossed with gold.
King Grows Fatgued
The brilliancy of the scene was
greatly enhanced by magnificent
diamond ornaments on many OF the
women in the audience.
AS the ceremony continued the king
began to show signs of fatigue when
he was required to rise to be en-
throned. AS often as he rose he
seemed to have some difficulty in get
ting to his feet. Toward the end of
the ceremony the abbey became stuffy
and the oppressive heat evidently
troubled his majesty.
Despite these signs that his conval-
escence is not yet ended Edward bore
himself with dignity and in true kingly
| manner. In answering the oath ques-
| lions the kings voice was distinctly
heard throughout the abbey. A mag
nificent effect was produced when the
king put the crown on his head
The moment the glistening gems
rested on his brow the electric lights
about the theater of the abbey were
turned on, making the crown dazzling
ly brilliant and the king the central
figure indeed of the assembly.
The news that the coronation itself
was finished was signalled to the
tower and Hyde Park, where twenty
one and forty-two Founders respective
ly doomed forth. The sound was dis
tinctly heard in the abbey and
mingled with the rigging of the abbey
bells and punctuated the cheers of the
crowds outside.
Ceremony Was Long.
Some slight excitement was caused
during the administration of the COM

almost two hours. It proceeded more
slowly than was expected owing to

Hates castle hath fair. frescoed walls
And gardens fair to see,
Wherein full many a fountain falls
And nymphs and dryads be;
But from it's shadow may the Lord

Within black storms rebel;
And, hidden from the worlds keen
eye,
Deep strifes and hatred dwell;
And Christ deliver me therefrom,
AS from the pit of hell!

1t appears from newspaper reports
that burglars are getting in their
work at Biloxi and other towns in
the state quite frequently and that
the citizens of these towns are talk
ing seriously of organizing vigilant
committees to wait on the Migrants
and loafers and show them the
nearest route out of town. The
Progress has predicted several times
that this would be the natural conse-
quence. And IT will be the case in
Hattiesburg and all other cities in
the state and in the south where
there is so much Ioaflng of able
bodied men. The time has come
when white men-the working
kind-are becoming tired of working
for the loafer and it is littlesurpris-
ing that they have endured 1t as long
as they have. When man works
all day for his daily bread he does
not feel like sitting up at night with
shotgun by his side to watch the
bread to keep these loafers from ap-
propriating it to themselves. And
before he will do this he will form a
copartnership with his nelghbors and
thin out the loafers to a stand and
then hang the stand.

to believe, that Dantzler's soul will
take its flight to heaven before the
pulse finally ceases to beat.
With this view of the fact before
us it would not seem that public
hanging is the proper thing, but that
hangings should not only be private,
but in a secret way, no one being
present but witnesses required by
law, physicians, ministers and few
others.

There are sixty sawmllls between
Jackson and Gulfport and not a day
passes that some one is not on the
ground looking for location for
another sawmIH. There are nearly
as many between Hattiesburg and

road. There are six or seven planning
mills in Hattiesburg alone and sew
eral others on the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad between Jackson and
Gulfport, With this great number
of sawmills and plar ers, and the fact
that some of them run day and night,
cutting one hundred thousand feet OF
lumber daily each, one can form some
idea of the vast wealth of this section
of the state. And since Hattiesburg

one can deny the fact that at an early

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

me IOCdl VI
are doing precisely the work the
Progress tried to get them to do three
years ago, namely, building more
business houses. There was not near
enough floor space in this city to do
the business that was three years ago
naturally drifting this way and the
business men are now realizing the
force of the argument produced by
the Progress at the time.
At that time Hawkins & Co. had
a small two-story brick into which
all their dry goods, groceries and in
fact all their wares were crowded
and of course there was no room for
the display of goods or to make the
customer comfortable while making
his purchases. But all this has been
changed, for the natural increase of
business forced the change. And
what is stated of this firm will apply
to others.
At this time there are six brick
business houses going up, all but one
two-stories while one is three stories.
This will give floor space of hundreds
of feet that the city did not have be-
fore and in consequence will increase
the bulk of business in proportion.
It will bring more business houses
and more such houses will bring a
greater bulk of business. We have
heard even merchants say 1--WE do
not want any more business houses
too many here now" But this is not
business sense. Ifthere was not but
one business house in the city it
would not do the business it is doing
lsnow, for the business would soon
drift from the city
Not only is it a fact that there are
more business houses being erected
but the time is coming, and it is not
far off, when there will not be sim
gle one-story business house in the
clty. The increase Of business and
the necessity for more space will
force all the one-story buildings to
put on another story. They need the
floor space, and as they cannot
spread out they must build up. A
citizen of Chicago was asked why
they built their business houses so
high and his reply was as simple as
| it was practical: Because we have
more room above than We have on
the ground. Hattlesburg is not a
Chicago. but the time is coming
when it must spread up as well as
spread out.
From a business standpoint the
erection Of the six business houses
now going up Is the best investment
for the city that has developed for
many days. The $2o0. 900 invested
lin these buildings is that much mon
