The National Civic Federation, in
session at Chicago, seems to have hit
upon a happy solution of the antag-
onistic conflict between the railroads
and courts, as outlined in our dis
patches this morning. The develop
ment of the South hinges largely on
a settlement of this issue, hence any
effort in that direction will be hailed
with delight by the commercial, finan-
cial and industrial interests of this
section.

SECRETARY LARSON
A VERY BUSY man

From the way the secretary of the
Commercial Club is running his type
writer trying to work off the accumu-
lating work, it is very evident that
something is doing" up in room 407
of the Carter building, the permanent
headquarters of the club. N
Mr.. Larson is very anxious that
every member Of the club call on him
and feel that the rooms are their own
where they can exchange views about
the matters of interest to Hattiesbugr.
If they have any. complaints that are
of nature where the good Of the city
is concerned he will be glad to know
1t and assist to correct the same.
There are few persons who know
what tower of strength central
body like this is in place Of the great
Importance that is attached to Hat
tiesburg and every citizen who Is In
terested in the larger development Of
our good hustling city should at once

The Jackson News is responsible
for this bit of information:
Cyclone" Jim Neville was in Wash
ington the other day and talked out
of school about Private" John Allen.
He said that he was once invited to
spend Sunday at the Allen home, but
John told him that the rules of the
house would require him not to drink,
smoke or chew on the Sabbath, to go
once to Sunday school and twice tc
church. It's a 100 to / shot that Mr.
Neville didn't spend Sunday in TIL
pelo.

BRICK COMPANY
TO BRANCH OUT

: The Commercial Club reports that
the Riverside Brick Company, of Hat
tiesburg, has arranged to increase its
capital to $4,000. The very large sue
cess that has attended this concern
since it's incention, under the manage
ment of its president, Mr.. w. s.
Morrison, and secretary, Mr.. P. L..
CASTOR, has enabled them to see for
the future a much brighter, prospect
and in order to meet the demands for
their excellent product they will have
to increase their facilities. They in
tend enlarging their Riverside plant,
and to start another plant, elsewhere,
but whose headquarters will be Hat
tiesburg.
To say that success will crown
every honest, and well managed bust
ness in Hattiesburg is of course prop
er and right but 1t takes effort, pa
tience, backbone, and a well defined
amount of ambition and energy to
succeed in anything, and that is what
has stimulated. the officers of the
above concern and we are glad te
see their ability to expand.

Every good MlssIssippian should
go to the polls and cast his vote at
the November election, not that the
Democratic nominees need their sup
port, but for the reason that the
North and East are eternally throw
ing it up to Mississippi that our citi-
zens take SO little interest in general
elections.

Government Control

Is it possible, that is is it consis-
tent with the rights assigned to the
individual by the Constitution, that
Corporations should be controlled or
supervised by the government?
Since the corporation is a creature
of the government, the answer must
necessarily be in the affirmative. Nor
do the corporations object to control,
the trouble lies in determining the ex.
tent of such control.
Quite recently the government has
enacted what is known as The Pure
Food Law Adulteration was practical
so as to be almost a science, even
though it did not approach the fraud
which gave to Connecticut the nick
name of Nutmeg State. Adulteration
which is really only another phase
of cheating, has never weighed heav-
lily upon the northern conscience, and
this disreputable practice may be the
cause of other so-called business re-
curing an elastic conscience. Amer
lean jewelry has gained such motor
iety that its importation into Great
Britain is forbidden.

might have acquired control over
many neeessaries of life. Would the
American people to whom the title
of King or Emperor is an adherence,
have submitted to plutocratic absolu- |
tism? 1t is unthinkable. Once CON
WINGED that they were held within the
clutches of money-kings, there would
have been no revolution, but whole

have been another phase of Taxation

suit would have been a trial of So

TRIAL IS KILLING Me-"
SAYS MRS. HOLMAN
Tho Discrepancy Between Evelyn
Thaw's Marriage License and
Her Evidence.

PITrSBURG, Pa, Feb. 9-Mrs. Ev
elyn Nesbit Thaw made a mistake her.
self either In making the afndavi.
necessary for securing the license e.
wed Harry *. Thaw or in giving her
testimony at the Thaw trial. When
Evelyn and her mother, Mrs. Charles
j. Holman, went to the marriage
license clerk here on April 4. 1905, TO
take out the license for her marriage.
both swore that the prospective bride
was born on December 25, 1885. In the
affidavit sworn to by Evelyn she
further swore that she was "of the
full age Of 10 years"
on the stand Mrs. Thaw testified
that she was born on December 20,
1884 and repeated the year after a
question put to her by attorney Del
mas If the perjury was committed
In taking out the marriage license,
many persons here believe that the
marriage is invalidated, as the license
would certainly be void il secured on
a false statement.
Don't ask me TO say anything about
the Thaw trial; Il Is simply killing
me-"
This message was carried from the
darkened room in the Holman resi-
dence. at BroolSline, where Mrs. Hol-
man is lying in a critical condition
from shock and nervous prostration.
a maid who answered the door stated
that only the nurse and physicians are
permitted to see Mrs. Holman, and it
is feared that she may never fully re-

as saying that In his work he could

obliged TO turn backward, lighting lat

finally reaching the goal, only TO find
to his confusion that a plain road led
thither, II he had only had the eyes to

DECLARES THAW
MALTREATED HER
A Woman in Paris Who Says She Fig
ured IN That Bathtub Incident.

PARIS, Feb. 9-The newspapers %
Paris are devoting much space to the
proceedings Of the Thaw trial, in New
York, and as a result a number Of per-
sons are coming forward anxious to
testify to Thaw's alleged esoapades IN
Paris which, they declare, can only be
explained on the GROUND that he was
insane.
A woman from whom Thaw rented
an apartment In this city has visited
Consul General Mason and recounted
numerous episodes OF Thaws stay.
Another woman, who says she is an
American, has informed the news
papers that she figured in the bath
tub incident to which reference was
made In Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's testi-
mony. This woman makes further
allegation Of maltreatment at the
hands Of Thaw, and declares that he
gave her $1,000 TO compensate for the
injuries she sustained.
