THE MAYORS COURT.

After 3 storm there Is always a
calm. Yesterday there were a per-
feet tornado Of cases in the mayors
court, but tsday practically there
was a calm. Only three little cases
were brought up before his honor for
settlement and il took about three
minutes to dispose of them. His
honor does not mince things, but
dives down into the eases and tells
the defendant what's what in very
few words-wIth the costs added.
He had before him this morning
Sherman Trotter who was asked to
trot out $3.50 and the costs for ours
ing in the presence of more than one
person and in violation of the err
dinance on that subject.
Oscar Fort was up for holding the
fort in game of cards and he xas
asked to turn the fort loose by pay
ing $3.50 and the lemonade money
before Oscar Fort could be turned
loose.
Mary Trotter trotted out on the
streets and made things appear blue
with oaths. Then blue coat APP
peared and took Mary out of the hot
sun. She was trotted up before his
honor this morning who puta fine on
her OF the stereotyped amount of
$3.50 and the soda water money.
This closed the court proceedings
for the day, but the likelihood is that
several cases will De before his honor
tomorrow, but just how many no one
can tell at this hour. At any rate
the proceedings of the mayors court
seldom ever fail to be interesting.
One young man has been brought up
three or four times the past three or
four weeks aid as he has not been
up but one time this week he Is ex-
pected every day. There are others
who are regular visitors to the city
hall, and the fines seem to be a
matter of fun with them. If the
mayor should double the fines every
time until he reached the limit of
the law the doses would not be so
often repeated.

OIL MILL FER HATTIESBURG.

The stockholders in the proposed
oil mill had meeting at the court
house lest night. w. NJ. Conner was
elected chairman and F. w. Foote
secretary.
1t was found that the necessary
stock was in sight-in fact almost
enough subscribed and many others
anxious to invest in it.
A committee to look after lOca-
ton was appointed-also committee
to prepare a charter.
Messrs. S. c.. Tucker and NJ. Carley
were appointed to purchase the
necessary machinery and they left
last night for Dayton, Ohio, and
other places for this purpose.
Within very short time a perma-
nent organization will no doubt be
effected and the work on the mill
pushed to a speedy conclusion.
That the mill will be a great thing
for Hattiesburg and the stockholders
is matter of no doubt with those
who know the success that oil mills
generally have been.

delegates from the south Will be with
him, the central and western states are
his to command, and it will take a swift

none of the war and navy jealonsies to

for the trusts, they are equally balanced,
both being in favor of continuation of

OF digRified and imposing appearance.

attention in any gathering, therefore
when he mounted the rostrum to address
his fellow-citizeus every ear was strained
to catch what he had to say. He re-
ferred to his record as demo crat and
the pant that he taken in the overthrow
of carpet baglsm in Mississippi. and then
entered into a discussion of The indus
trial problems which most affected the
people Of this district. He reviewed hiA
connection with the huil1ing of the
Northeastern and Snip Island RAILROADS,
two enterprises which have done more
for the development and upbuildipg of
south Mississippi than all other forces
yet set in motion. He favored the re-
tention of the present tariff on lumber,
and gave his reasons for so doing. He
painted in glowing colors the possibil
tiles in store for our favored section of
the state, even when the pine forests
had been wiped out by woodsman's axe.
The deepening of the harbors on the
coast and the improvement Of our rivers,
he said, had ever been a subject dear to
his heart. and if elected he would use
every effort to secure federal aid to carry
on that work. His address from be-
ginning was with the nesds and wants of
