manent growth are evident.
Hattiesburg is the distributing
point for the southern half of the
state, it being almost equldistant
from Mobile, Gulfport, New Orleans,
Meridian and Jackson. While pri-
marily lumber town, the business
people are realizing that per-
manent prosperity must depend
upon development in an agricultural
way and In the location of factories.

sition large holdings of cut-over pine

years. The location Of the town,
situated as it Is in the very heart of
the great long-leaf pine timber belt
IN Mississippi, surrounded by 5000
square Miles of standing timber, ap-
proximating a total of 30,000,0O0 900
feet, insures a future filled with
promise.
Hattiesburg today contains be-
tween 1000 and 5000 industrious
citizens, and the city derives the
greater portion of Its prosperity from
the development in the lumber IN
terests mentioned, and the fact that
it is located on four lines of railroad
the Queen and Crescent, Gulf and
Ship Island, Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City, and the Pearl and
Leaf Rivers railroad, which is
shortly to be extended to Natchez,
Miss. This latter road, originally
organized as an adjunct to the New
man Lumber Company, has already
reached length of fifty miles, and
has become an important factor, not
alone In the development of the
Newman interests, but of Hatties-
burg as we'll. The mill of the cor
poration mentioned, located in the
city, has capacity of nearly 250,0OO
feet of lumber per twenty four hours,
and directly gives employment to
nearly 1900 persons, the majority of
whom reside in the town and in the
immediate sections surrounding
Hattiesburg. The plant is easily one
OF the most complete in the south,
and reduces the timber area of the
Company's holdings at the rate OF
nearly thirty acres per day, shipping
the rough and dressed pine lumber
to all portions of the United States
the entire output being consumed by
q domestic demand.
The citizens of Hattiesburg are
among the most enterprising In the
state of Mississippi. They are firu
believers in the future prosperity o
their town, and they are working Al
unit in an effort to encourage botl
immigration and the location o
factories. The town contains thre

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CONVlCTS

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March 6.-Information
is received here today from the lower
levee district to the effect that 150
convicts have been put to work
strengthening the line at Huntingdon.
The men were taken from the Sandy
Bayou Watson and Edwarsd places,
which the penitentiary board of con-
troll works on shares, and rushed
early this morning to that point.
There was an application before the
governor yesterday for convicts to go
to Australia, supposedly weak
point in the upper part of the same
district, but it was decided to concen-
trate all the men at Huntington levee.
There seems no immediate danger of
break at this point but it is thought
to be the point that most needs
strengthening of all the lower line
levees.

lands, with soil capable of produc-
ing early vegetables, fruits and prime
crops are located contiguous to Hat
tiesburg, and a determined effort will
be made to put these lands in culti-
vatlon.
The State Experiment Station, To-
Gated at McNeill, some distance
south of Hattiesbnrg, has demon
strated the fertility of the sandy
lands of south Mississippi, and,
acting upon the information thus
conveyed, the Hattiesburg board of
trade will shortly make deter
mined and organized effort to attract
desirable immigration from the most
promising sections both in this
country and In Europe.
The town possesses many impOr-
tant business establishments, all of
which are doing fine business. 1t
is tributary to New Orleans, and this
latter city naturally does a large
business with the Hattiesburg COM
mercial people. There is an absence
| of the usual jealousies and bicker-
ings often found in small commune
ties, and from the evidences of pub
lie spirit and business enterprise
which meet the guest, it Is beyond
question that Hattiesburg will
shortly forge to the commercial posi-
tion of prosperity that it's advan-
tages and possibilities would seem to
indicate as a proper consummatlon

RAILROAD COMMISSION
Holds Session-Supervision of @. &

of Importance Before it.

of Importance Before it.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March l6.-The railroad
commission held its regular monthly
meeting this afternoon. The only
matter of Importance on the docket
was the protest filed by the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad against the as
sumption of right to supervise
freight rates on the Columbia and
Laurel branches of the road on the
part of the commission. The railroad
claims that the main line is exempt
from the commissioners supervision
within certain limits under the char
ter and this same exemption applies
to branches constructed under that
charter. The general view enter
tanned by the commission appears to
be that this contention is not true,
and even admitting that it is for the
sake of argument, the branches are not
entitled TO this exemption because
they were not +, in fact, constructed
under the charter but built by other
people and afterward acquired by the
Gulf and Ship Island. No decision
was reached on the matter at this
meeting but the indications are that
the relative rights of the parties will
be finally tested in the courts.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March 16.-Judge Powell
of this district now has under con-
sideration two important cases involv-
ing the constitutionality of the law
passed by the legislature some years
ago imposing special privilege tax
ON the railroads claiming exemption
from the supervision of the railroad
commission. The cases are againt
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley and
the Gulf and Ship Island and were
filed some time since by Revenue
Agent Adams to cover alleged back
privilege taxes under that law. The
railroads claim that the law is an
unconstitutional discrimination, and,
admitting its constitutionality, they
say that the tax has never been as
sessed by the railroad commission
and therefore the revenue agent has
no right to collect it.
