BROOMCORN.

Thousands and thousands of brooms
are used in this section annually.
Millions are used in the state, and,
like nails, never spoil or go out of
fashion, there will always be great
demand for them. The soil of Perry
county will grow broomcorn as we'll
and in as great abundance as any
other soil, and the fact if the corn
was raised there would be broom

a month. This would give employ

great number engaged in the produc-
ton of the raw material. Cash
money would be paid for it and there
would be a good demand for every
pound raised. 1t would beat raising
cotton. More money could be raised
off it per acre and it requires but lit
tie cultivation and but little work
for harvesting and preparing it for
market. There are many capitalists
who would be willing to establish a
broom factory here at once if they
could get the raw material to work
up, and every factory, it matters not
how small, is help to Hattiesburg
and this section of the state.

The Tragedy OF Being Poor.

In the summer, when the hot wind
sweeps the plain,
In the summer when the parched fields
gasp for rain,
When the sky above is brassy and the
sun,
Like vessel from which molten metals
run,
Hangs o'erhead through days that never
seem to end,
They totter in the dusty streets and
sigh,
The children in their huddled novels
penned,
Lie crying out through shriveled lips
In the summer, when the heat is sitting,
Assumes a thousand shapes they must
endure,
Till Death is kind enough to claim them
The tragedy of being poor!
In the winter, when the plains are white
with snow,
In the winter, when the maddened bliz-
yards blow,
When the sky above is leaden and the
sun,
Like weary slave, whose heavy task
Is done,
Shrinks out of sight, as if to steal rest.
With faces pinched and blue they go
their ways;
The mother, with her babies on her
breast,
Beside the empty stove weeps through
the days;
In the winter, when the blasts are icy,
Woe
Assumes thousand shapes they must
endure,
Till Death is kind enough to claim them
20,
The tragedy of being poor!

The announcement that the cruiser
Baltimore is to be made as absolutely
fireproof as human ingenuity can an
ticipate must cause feeling of pride
in the city for which the war ship Ia
named. All Of the furniture on board
will be made of thin steel, so welded
that the seams will not show. Writing
desks, chiffoniers, chairs and beds will
contribute to the comfort Of the Off
GERS on board, and yet will be Of ma
teria1 not easily destroyed by fire. This
innovation, of course, will be costly,
involving about $4,000, but if it be
only an experiment it will be a source
of qualification to know that the BaIti-
more will stand unique as the only
man-of-War in the world thus far so
equipped. The wisdom of reducing
the amount of infammable material on
war ships was demonstrated at the
battle of Santiago, when a shell ex-
ploded in the wardroom Of the Brook
lyn. To the fact that the small amount
of woodwork there had been fireproof-
ed seems to have been due the cruisers s
escape from flames below. While fire.
proofing was the best treatment for
wood formerly found to be accessible,
present naval development is along the
theory that the only real safeguard is
the abandonment of woodwork alto
gether.
