The following article on immigra-
ton prepared by Mr. G. F. Larson, the
secretary of Hattiesburg's Commercial
Club, will be read with great deal
of interest, because of it's direct APP
plication to this city and it's con-
tigious territory.
Mr.. Larson is doing some splendid
work for Hattiesburg through the po-
sition he holds and the merchants and
business men of the city realize it and
appreciate his efforts:
Editor Picayune: Ever and anon
the race question in the Southern
States comes to the surface, but until
recently it has only been in connec-
tion with the color line and the social
aspirations of the negro. Lately the
question has become acute in some

who are of the Caucasian race, but
whose habits and conduct of life
measure below that standard set by

our shores at our Northern ports by
the thousands every year, and are hur-

take up their abode. The rigorous
winters, the great necessity for heavy
and expensive winter clothes, the fuel
necessary for warmth, the long cold

the genial climate all the year in the
Southern States, where summer
clothes can be worn the whole year,
where fires for warmth are only nee

where crops can be raised on the
farm almost the entire year Two
and even three crops can be taken
off one piece of ground in the year,
while vegetables can be grown all the

dread yellow fever has almost disap-

while not as prevalent, is not of as
malignant type as that encountered in
the North, and we have less tuber

You have often heard the remark,

the exaggerated imagination of an

drug he is the most miserably detected

tain work in his routine and knowing,

who studies the work that he has to do
because it has been done always one

no difference to him; his work inter-

The Duty Of Happiness.

1 know an old man who has great
deal of trouble and many Losses and
misfortunes, but he started out in life
with firm determination to extract
just as much real enjoyment from it
as he went along as pOssible-not in
dissipation, but in wholesome recrea-
tion and fun. He has always tried to
see the humorous side of things, the
bright side and the duty of happiness.
The result is that, altho this man
has had more than his share of sorrow
in his career he has developed the in
estimable faculty of making the best
of every situation and of always fac
ing the sun and turning his back to
the shadows. This life habit of cheer
fulness and optimism has brought out
sweetness of character and a poise
and serenity of mind which are the
envy of all who know him. Altho he
has lost his property and the most Of
his family and relatives, yet he radi-
ates sunshine and helpfulness wher-
ever he goes.
A man who can laugh outside when
he Is crying inside, who can smile when
he feels badly, has great accomplish
ment. We all love the one who be-
lieves the sun shines when he cannot
see it.
A potted rose in a window will turn
its face away from the darkness toward
the light. Turn it as often you will,
it always turns away from the dark
ness and lifts its face upward toward
the sun.
So we instinctively shrink from cold,
melancholy, inky natures and turn our
faces toward the bright, the cheerful
and sunshiny. There is more virtue
in one sunbeam than in whole at
mosphere of cloud and gloom.

your own light, So that, how heavy the

existing which is unprecedented in the
history of the Lauderdale county bar.
At the end of three full days of court
not single case has gone to trial. and
there is no prospect that matters will

of Luke Ashner, charged with disposing
OF mortgaged property, he failing to ap-
pear when his case was called.

arraigned this morning ON the charge of
allowing minors to play. He acknowI-
edged his guilt and agreed to plead guilty

ARRESTED AT JASPER
Is Thought to Be Crook Who Has De.
frauded People In Several
Towns of State.

Jasper, March 21.-(SpeciaL)-1n the ar
C. E. Sullivan, the authorities here are
confident they have apprehended the man
who has been working people for money
at various points in the state.
Sullivan came to Jasper yesterday
morning, driving through the country
from Cordova, where he had secured a
team. He represented himself as being
a corporal of the United States marine
corps and left an order with a local
printer for come advertising matter. 1t
is said that he was making arrangements
for advertising the coming of recruiting
officers of the marine corps who would be
stationed at Cordova for few days
After leaving his order for the printing
Sullivan called on the proprietor of the
printing establishment to indorse draft
for 500 for expense money, but failed to
secure the Endorsement. He had tried in
the meantime to get a draft cashed at the
local banks. but had failed. He finally
went to the stable of the Kilgore Trans
fer company and left an order for sew
eral teams to be used right away and
afterwards asked the young man in
charge to indorse draft for $780, which
request was complied with and the money
was paid to Sullivan.
During this time the local police had
been informed of the presence of the
young man in town and was also shown
newspaper clipping from Huntsville de-
scribing the workings of crook there
This gave the local officers a clue and
word was telephoned to Cordova whether
Sullivan had gone after securing the
aforesaid 500 to the deputy sheriff there,
giving a description of the young man
and asking that he be placed under ar
rest. He was promptly apprehended and
returned to Jasper In charge of the Of
ficer, being placed in the county Jail
awaiting further developments.
The local bank at which the draft was
cashed telegraphed the paying bank in
Philadelphia, asking If the draft would
be honored. and received an answer that
1t was not good 1t was also learned
that people at Hartselle, Huntsville Flo
maton and other places in the state had
had similar experiences, and 1t Is be-
lieved this is the same person who has
been working at these places. Sullivan
is young man about % years of age, well
dressed and of good appearance.

In his new-found pride he began to think
1t his duty to gorge himself on every

His pictures showed that he took on
