There is possibility that Hatties-
burg will have another bottling works
in the near future.
Mr.. H. B. Champion, representing
the Pepsi-Cola company, of Newbern, |
N. C., was in the city yesterday in
the interest of that company and the
matter of granting a franchise to
local company to be known as the
Hattiesburg Pepsi-Cola Bottling COM
pany was taken up with the CONNER
cial Club.
The proposition Is one that seems
to commend itself to business men, a
there appears to be money in it, be-
You'd the fact that it will be another
addition to the manufacturing indus
tries of the city; however. Secretary
Larson will give the matter his atten-
ton and go into it thoroughly for the
benefit of the Commercial Club and
business men generally.
In establishing a bottling company
it is localized by forming corpora
ton in which two-thirds of the stock
is taken by the business men of the
city, and the other third is taken by
the Pepsi-Cola company, and the local
company is given franchise for fur
nishing all the output used in certain
territory.
In this case the territory will en-
brace the counties of Covington, Per.
ry and Marion and of course, Forrest
and as at present the nearest bottline
works for this popular soft drink is
Birmingham, the amount of business
that will come to Hattiesburg will be
of large and steadily increasing
volume.
i, The Pepsi-Cola company has, with
/ in the last few months, established
4 thirty-two bottIing branches on this
basis and all of them have paid from
the beginning At Memphis large
branch of the mandatory proper will
be established and in running ordel
by January, 1908, which will supply
the branches through this section will
the necessary stock instead of having
it shipped from Newbern.
Il Mr.. Champion said to Daily News
reporter that the Birmingham branch
has done remarkably fine bushes!
during the time it has been at work
and the branches in other places maxi
splendid showings. There are branch
es of this company as far north a
Schenectady, N. ", and as far soutl
| as Jacksonville, Fla, and all of ther
are on paying basis and are maxim
money. The corporation estabIishe
at Schenectady has offered to Blu

Chicago, III, August l4.-An ex-
tension OF the telegraphers' strike
TO every part of the United States
and Canada is said by the union
leaders to be a certainty. Efforts Of
the peace mediators were spurned
yesterday and the national execu-
tive board of the telegraphers' union
declared for war to the bitter end.
Already the order, which in effect
means a general strike, has been
flashed over the country by Secre-
tary Wesley Russell. Out of courte-
sy to President Small who is hurry
ing toward Chicago, no formal
strike order will be issued until
Thursday.
The Chicago strikers, who are
| leaders in the movement, are in
war-like mood. At their mass meet
ing Yesterday afternoon every refer
lence to general strike was cheered
to the echo, while mention of the
names of Commissioner Neill ant
Ralph M. Easley were greeted witt
Kisses and grOanS.
1t is not the commercial industr
of the country alone that the strik
ers aim to cripple, but it is said the
are trying to involve the railroad
telegraphers and bring them out II
sympathy. Messages which have beer

along the railroad lines instructing
railroad operators not to handle

situation became so threatening as a
