Just who the Moors are seems to be one
of the puzzles of history They NAV be

states that they are descended from the

But report has it that these Vandals

HE had an eye like needle, could

ten months ago the utmost confidence
was restored, if it was ever actually

COOPERATING.

There is no doubt, as Secretary
Mayo of the New Orleans progressive
union stated at the courthouse the
other night, if the people of COM
muunities and cities will cooperate
with the railroads. the latter will
meet them more than half way. The
idea prevalent in many instances that
large corporations are soulless and
every advantage should be taken to
crush them is a sad mistake. What
helps community in developing it
certainly helps the railroads and the
railroad would be +. the last to work
directly against its own interests. If
one or two or even half dozen far
mres form an organization for the pur-
pose of going into the truck growing
business they should remember that
this would scarcely be drop in the
bucket for the railroads, for it would
be as expensive to them to haul one
barrel of potatoes as to haul fifty, but
IA "a SlOa1 lAdHy, III laCt pTdclUcdlly
all of the farmers of the community,
should engage in the business the rail
roads could and would prepare to
handle the freight, and there would
be competition in that line in this
city owing to the many routes to the
markets and would be quite lively and
empty cars on minutes notice would
be at the platforms ready for loading.
Therefore if the truck growers expect
the railroads. to give them cheap
rates they must give the roads
enough freight to Justify the cheap
rates-must give them carload lots
instead of few barrels or sacks.

COMMERCIAL HOTEL SOLD.

estate dealers of Hattiesburg, have
just effected the sale of the CONNER

1t is understood that Mr.. Scearcy
will take charge of the hotel within
ninety days and will continue to run
it as first class hotel. 1t is said that
his wife has been in the hotel business
nearly all of her life and is considered
one of the best in the state.
In social as we'll as business way
the people of Hattiesburg heartily
welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Scearcy to the
city and wish them much prosperity.
They have come among Us for two

other because we have the most

The Commoner proposes to carry on
a campaign of education and organi-
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
Dartmenr, which receives Mr.. Bry-
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains a Current Topic de.
partment, wherein non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced

writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub

ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conduct ed, among
which is summary of the worlds
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's department-Wheth-
