FACTORIES.

1t is true that Hattiesburg has
many manufacturing industries, but
we want more. The Progress will
never tire advocating the establish
ment of more factories. Factories and
railroads are what build up and main
tain city, especially a young city
like Hattiesburg, and one which de-
pends solely upon these industries
We have comparatively but little cot
ton to fall back on. This is no cotton
county. 1t is manufacturing county
"a county in which hundreds of saw
mills are located manufacturing long
leaf pine logs into merchantable lum-
Der and shipping it to every part of
the globe.
But we want manufacturing indus
tries of another kind right here in the
city. We want a broom factory,
chair factory, furniture factory on
a large scale, a sash, blind and door
factory sufficiently large to supply the
demands Of the territory adjacent to
Hattiesburg, and many other wood
working factories. They are the life
of a city, the life of a country and
money makers for those who invest
their money in them.
Hattiesburg is centrally located for
all south Mississippi and has a very
large territory for the sale Of all the
goods that we can manufacture. We
have an outlet in six different direc-
tions, three seaports at our door and
a market for any goods we may man
ufacture within a few hours run.
Not only is this true, but we have the
raw material at our door having
nothing to do but haul it in-and we
should manufacture the wagons on
which it is hauled.
Like the fellow who started a coun-
try paper Hattiesburg is here, and - is
here to stay. There is no pulling
it away. 1t has one third of the pop
ulation Of the county and pays nearly
twO-thirds Of the taxes. Our three
story buildings show that we are here
to stay. Our sewerage system, fine
water plant, two fine 500 school
buildings, fine churches and a citizen
ship that is not surpassed for morality,
charity, generosity and Christian
love, all indicate the fact that we are
here to stav. Buildings now going
up erected out of material that will
not crumble, will not decay, for gen
erations and generations to come,
show that we are here to stay.
This being true, then we should
build factories, plant them deep into
the ground, and stay hv them and
profit by them until the present gen
erations sees its last Thanksgiving
day, when our children will take up
where we left off.

WESTERN UNIONS SUIT is HEARD.
Pennsylvania Road Tries to Force
Their Wires From It's Track.

The application of the Western
Union Telegraph Company for an in
junction to restrain the Pennsylvania
railroad from compelling the plaintiff
to move its poles and wires from the
right of way of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for the alleged
reasons of the expired contracts be-
tween the companies came up for ar
gument in the United States court be-
fore Judge Bufinton today. An adj
ditional bill, accompanied by petit
tion, was filed. The bill recites that
the telegraph lines Of the plaintiff
company comprise over 1872, 600 of
poles and cables and over 900, 600
miles of wire; that it has over 1913, :
600 offices and transmits about 60, =
600, 600 messages annually, exclusive
of railroad business of the company
and of parties having private wires
The plaintiff company denies the
right of the defendant to compel the
removal of the-p poles and wires of the
plaintiff and alleges the purpose to
oust the Western Union Telegraph
Company from the lines of the Penn
sylvania railroad system is to give
the Postal company all the privileges
now enjoyed by the plaintiff COM
pany. 1t is claimed that there is
ample room for lines of both compa-
nies on the right of way of the defen-
dant company, and that the object Of
the defendant company is to destroy
the business of the plaintiff company
for the benefit of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable Company, which, it
is alleged, is contrary to the laws of
the United States and Pennsylvania.

AS There Are Not Sufficient Funds
to Pay the Pensioners.
FIRST TIME SINCE THE WAR
That This Request of Hurry Up
Had to Be Sent Out.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Nov 27.-Fearing that
there will not be enough money on
hand to pay the state pension war
rants, amounting to $500, 600, and
which will commence to arrive at the
treasury within a few days, State
Auditor Cole is sending out letter
to the tax collectors of the state uT-
gently requesting that they make
their settlements for November eOllec-
tions as soon as possible after the first
of December. State Treasurer Lamp
ton has sent out a similar letter to
the collectors, stating that it is urgent
to have sufficient money on hand to
give immediate aid TO the thousands
who are helpless and needy, and re-
quested that they give prompt atten-
tion to the appeal.
This is the first time since the war
that it has been necessary for the
state officials to ask the county collec-
tors to "please hurry up, as we need
the money" The vaults of the treas
ury now contain only $40, 600, and
from this must be paid the warrants
for work on the new state house per-
formed in Novem ber, amounting to
$50, 900, and the current expenses of
the state government, which almost,
are sufficient to take out the money
now on hand. 1t is therefore ap-
parent that the state must raise $500,
600 or more within a few days, and
Auditor Cole hopes that it can be
done if prompt settlements from the
collectors can be secured.

STORY OF DANIEL O'CONNELL.

Daniel O'nnell was once address
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town, and the crowd was so large
that fear was felt for the salty of the
building, says the Oxford Chronicle.
AS he was about to speak, a gentle
man ascended the platform and said,
trembling with fear: Liberator,
the floor is giving way! The beams
are cracking, and we shall all fall
through in a minute. 1t is not
given TO many men to live through
such moments as O'Connell lived
through as he rose TO address the
meeting, nor to preserve such mag
nificent courage in the face of great
peril. Warning the man to keep
quiet, the Liberator said: Il find
this room too small to contain the
number who desire to come in so we
must, therefore, leave it and hold
the meeting outside. A few rose TO
leave, but the hall was still packed,
and then O'Connell said: Then l
will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, and therefore brave men.
The floor is giving way, and we must
leave this room at once. IT there is
panic and a rush to the door we shall
all be precipitated into the room
below, but if you obey my orders we
shall be safe. Let the dozen men
nearest the door go quietly out, then
the next dozen, and so on until all
have gone. shall be the last to
leave. >, The Irishmen followed the
advice, the hall was quickly cleared,
and as O'Connell walked across the
floor the broken beam gave way.

The Vicksburg American is right
when it says that the next Missis-
sippi legislature should pass a law
providing for the publication of all
mortgages foreclosures in the local
newspapers. The present practice of
posting them upon Telegraph poles
and fence posts is an injustice to the
man whose property is being sold as
the average sale is known by only a
few interested parties and the market
value is consequntly not obtained. -
