ent.
The fight BY rounds was as follows:

advantage in this round.

union depot was in the air he wanted
to say that he wanted a union depot
and that the way to get it was to ac-
cept Mr.. Curran's plan which amply
provided splendid site and a mag
nificent union depot for all the roads
could be accommodated in the one he
had planned for Hattiesburg.
Councilman Katz here arose and
said that It was all very well to speak
of the matter, but II was best to defer
all action and discussion OF the mat.
ter until full council was present.
Mr.. T. s. Jackson then said a few
words to show that number of bus
mess houses would suffer if the depot
were built on the west side, although
he had at first favored the west side
as the most desirable spot for the
new depot. He was now in favor of
adopting Mr.. Currass idea for he saw
that the idea intended union depot
facilities in the future.
Councilman Katz again spoke on the
advisability OF. deferring all action
and discussion in the matter and was
followed by Councilman Powe who
was heartily in favor of Immediate
actln0n, being under the impression
that the motion he had put in the
beginning to consider the depot mat
ter, had been passed when really the
motion had been lost.

Mr.. A. p. Draughn followed Mr.. Con-

the previous meeting in favor of set

east side, saying that he had under

looking towards asking for a union

idea for the railroads to all run into
the new depot at some time in the
future.

phone with Mayor Donald said that

Ready for servlce--An Excellent
Location.

The site for the crematory has been
settled for good and all this time.
1t was settled once before, but sub.
sequent to the selection of the site
1t was found that the measurements,
as made by the city engineer, showed
that there was not as much land in
the lot as the committee had been in
formed and the deal was declared off.
Since then Mayor Donald and the
sanitary committee have been at work
on the selection of site and the
council, by vote, turned the matter
over to them entirely.
Acting on the authority thus given.
the committee has arranged to pur-
chase the lot at the corner of Fourth
and New Orleans streets, just across
New Orleans street from the site first
selected. This piece of property be-
longs to the Hattiesburg Lumber Co
and has been offered to the city for
$4,000, which is just twice the amount
dsheu lor tne otner piece, but there
is just about twice as much land at
this place.
On the lot selected there will be
room for all purposes. There will be
ample space for stables, tool houses
and sheds, as we'll as for the crema-
tory, and the entrances and exits will
be conveniently placed.

GOVERNOR NOT IN MIND.
Davidson's Admonition as to Lobbying
Did Not Include Him.

Austin, Texas, March 1S.-When
Lieutenant Governor Davidson was
moved last week to admonish State
officers that the privileges of the floor
given to them did not carry license
TO lobby. he did not have Governor
Campbell in mind He said so him
self this morning. Governor Campbell
had scarcely turned his back on the
senate chamber when the lieutenant
governor unburdened his mind as TO
lobbying That was why some folks
snickered and suggested that the ad-
monition was aimed at the receding
form of the governor. The publication
of this suggestion is deprecated by
Mr.. Davidson. He says that so far as
he knows the governor has never of
Tended the senate rule, and that when
he spoke Governor Campbell was not
in mind. Thus does Mr.. Davidson dis
pose Of the story that the lieutenant
governor took occasion TO reprove the

FENCES WERE BURNED
AROUND HIS FARM
OWNER COMES UP FROM CALVES
TON TO INVESTIGATE, AND
OFFERS REWARD.

Mr.. Paul G. Sackenreuther, who
owns a valuable farm near Elkhart.
reports that the fencing around his
farm has been burned. together with
some outhouses, and that the damage
amounted to perhaps $500 He is Of
fering a reward for the guilty parties.
A Herald man offered the sugges-
ton that perhaps the fences were set
on fire by accident, in burning off the
woods. This. the gentleman said, is
not borne out by the signs. He said
the fence was fired from different
points. and did not catch from the
burning leaves. He said opposite
sides of the field we're fired, showing
a plan to destroy II.
The farm has been without a tenant
for some time, and he says this fact
was taken advantage of in firing the
fences and sheds.
