Here's something that is of in
terest to the economical buyers,
who are looking for bargains: We
have in our yard a large complete
stock of window screens and
screen doors of all possible sizes:
we sell them at 8 cents per square
foot at our yard: the catalogue
houses are selling them at 9 cents
per square foot and you pay the
freight of course. When you buy
these of us, you have the advanta-
ge of buying cheaper and select
ing just what you want; when buy
ing of the catalogue house you
have the disadvantage of a higher
price on the goods, waiting Ia
days before you receive them and
even them you run chances that
you will not be satisfied which
means another delay ID days in
which time the flies and mosqui-
toes and other insects will take
possession of YOUR house. This is
the point you should consider. ]

tenacity in saving the South for the
White Race during the terrible after
math of the war, which renders every
white man residing in the South their
debtor. Be it remembered that nIany
Southern hero, seeing upon has re-
turn that he had been despoile1 of
his property and that it was pro-
posed to render him subser, vent 10
his former family chattels, turn ID
away in despair to seek new home
in the West. California, Oregon srd
other states of the setting sun have
their annual reunion of Conf :d,rate
Veterans. They left the South be-
cause they looked upon it's future as
hopeless.
If the Southern States feel the inn
pulse of prosperity; if the white man s
patrimony has been saved if his civ,
ilization almost stifled by oppression
and tyranny has survived; If the South
can offer freedom and security to
white settlers, it is due to the men
who battled against the heaviest odds
for home, wife and children. Those
who have not yet been called by the
muffled drum, will meet today. Nc
honor is too great for them!

The Terrible Calamity

Which has wiped out little town
in Indiana and caused the death of
so many people, teaches a lesson
about the location OF explosives. 1t
is not only the manufacture of powder,
dynamite and other inherently dam
gerous substances which threatens
death and destruction; the storage of
explosives within or close to a com
munity that is a constant menace.
Most cities have assigned certain
out-of-the-way localities for the stor-
age of oil and gasoline. The consume
ton of the last named highly inflam
mable material has increased enor.
mously of late, notwithstanding the
abnormal and apparently uncalled FOR
increase in price. The tanks contain
ing it are in most cases located nc
yond the city limits and where there
are few or no dwellings. 1t seems
reasonable that the owners of such
dangerous products should be com
PEELED to purchase sufficient lands 10
prevent people from building and set
ling within the danger limit.
1t is common to close the stable
after the horse has been stolen: to
seek a remedy for an evil, after 4
has worked wreck and ruin. But v 'ly
wait for one or more funerals, to take
precautionary measures.
The manufacturers of gasoline ani
coal oil are doing a thriving business
in Hattiesburg, and are entitled r.
protection as much as any other legi
innate business. But since their pro
ducts are source of danger to the
community, they must submit, as the,
have submitted in other cities II
regulations which reduce the danger
to a minimum. The volume of theil
business well warrants the necessary
investment.

Well show him we're no frightened

Concomitant of trade,
On which he and his minions
Can safely make a raid.

To elevate the nation
And make it what's not
"And then, by gum! we'll gather
Together fore and aft,
And with one mighty effort
\, Well go and eat up Taft.
Say, won't that put the wrinkles
In Roosevelt's massive brow?
