retired four years ago, his public ser.
vice in the house extended over the
longest period, although not continu,
GUS service, of any man who ever sat
in that body.
During the antebellum days he was
one of the best known men in the
United States and in 1854 he came
within one vote of being nominated
for vice president in place of Andrew
Johnson, who became president on the
death of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Crow was elected speaker of the
house Of representatives in 1861 and
occupied that position during the first
two years of the war, until his retire

BREWERY WORKERS STRIKE
ABOUT $50 BEER MAKERS OF ST.
LOUIS QUIT WORK.
Their Demand For Increased Pay 10
Refused, the Employers Offer
ing Them a Compromise.

St Louis, Mo, March 30.-In an ef.
fort to enforce demands for increased
wages made by members of the Unit
ed Brewery Workers Union, about
$50 brewery workers walked out OF
the 20 breweries in st. Louis Friday.
The strike followed conference
between representatives of the brew
cry workers, National Secretary KEN
per of the United Brewery Workers
Union and representatives of the boss
brewers, during which the boss brew
ers refused to grant the sliding scale
increase demanded of from FIVE to 60
per cent and endeavored to effect a
sediment by general increase OF
five per cent. They finally offered a
general increase of one dollar week
to each employee. The offer was made
too late to stop the strike and the
walkout took place, hating work in
every St Louis brewery. The total
membership of the United Brewery
Workers Union is 5000.
The demands for increased wages
1t is stated, were based on the grounds
OF Increased cost of living. The re.
fusal to grant the demands was based
on the statement that inability to in
crease the price Of beer and the in
crease of from 25 to 40 per cent in the
price of materials ~'ould not admit OF
a greater increase in wages at this
time.
In East st. Louis, ILL.,. 40 brewers in
the two ibreweries walked out when
the st. Louis strike was declared
The strikers are members OF the st
Louis Brewers Union. None OF the
other classes of labor in either Of the
two breweries Is affected.

TO BUILD AS PLANNED
Hospital Subscribers Agree to In
crease Their Donations.

Rather than revise the plans and
build cheaper building, large num-
Der of the heaviest contributors to
the hospital fund met with the board
Of directors at the Oskaloosa Nation
al Bank building yesterday afternoon
and voted to increase their subscrip-
tions, and expressed the hope that all
friends of the institution would do
likewise. ...
The meeting was called hurriedly,
but all who could be found on the
spur of the moment responded, and
among those present were: o. S. FL
lis, L. R. Rosebrook, Tom Sewers,
H. l.. Spencer, Col J. F. Mcneil,
Phil Hoffman,, Marion Cruzen w. H.

err, c. V. Hoffman,, DR.. ]. G. Roberts,
R. H. Burnside, F. E. Green, w. Z.

man.
The motion prevailed that all sub
scribers be asked to increase their
subscriptions 25 per cent, and that
the increase be binding provided at
least $4,000 additional funds are rails,
ed. An attempt to raise the addition
al amount will be made by the board
at once, and it is hoped that all
friends of the institution will respond
as promptly and as freely as posi-.
BILE.
The lowest bidder on the work is
Mr. Henry Wetherell, and he has
consented to give the board ten days
from last Tuesday in which to raise
the additional money and close the
contract. Some hard work and liber.
al responses will be necessary to
round matters up in that time. There
are many who have not as yet given
anything to the fund, and if they
have any interest whatever in the
project, now is the accepted time for
them to respond. All the new sub,
scriptions secured will help to make
the increase in the old ones binding
and the sooner the full amount is
raised, the sooner work may be
started.
The structure as now planned is
complete in every detail, and will be
an institution that will be credit to
the city and the pride of all who help
to make it reality r....,.

Year.

The postoffice is business Their
mometer
From the class and the receipts of a
postoffice one can readily form an idea
as to the conditions existing in and
around a city.
The volume of bushes transacted by
postoffice is most excellent cri-
terion by which to judge of the bust
ness prosperity of a city, so basing an
opinion on these premises one can
easily see that Hattiesburg is in most
prosperous condition for the receipts
at this postoffice exceeds $4,000 for
the fiscal year which closed June &c.
This postoffice enjoys the unique
distinction of being a first class office
listed as second class office and
when explained as the courteous AS
sistant Postmaster, Mr.. q. A. Kerna-
CHAN, did this morning for Daily
News reporter, the, queer position is
easily understood.
1t seems that the re-apportionment
of postoffices, as to class, is based on
figures showing the receipts between
April / of one year to March 81 of
the following year. 1t SO happened
that on the 31st of March just passed
the receipts of this postoffice were not
quite large enough to pass it into the
first class, although at the close OF
business on June 80 the receipts
passed the requisite sum by $1OS44.
1t is more than probable that this Of
flee will be raised to the first class
next year-in fact it can be looked
forward to as certainty.
The growth of this Office and the
increase in receipts is something re.
markable even for Hattiesburg, which
has always been "the city of sur
prises." For instance:
The receipts for the fiscal year end.
ing June 80, 1906. were, as obtained
from the records. 500 .s74.63.
The receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1907, were, as obtained
from the same source, SAC, 108.44.
THESE figures show the marvellous
increase Of s10,2ss.s1 in one year and
is an index to the volume of business
transacted in Hattiesburg.
The volume of actual work in the
postoffice has increased to such an
extent that the force of clerks has
been increased by the appointment Of
two new clerks and the transfer to the
clerical force Of two of the carriers.
The carriers transferred to the
clerical force are Albert Henley and
r. J. Shields and the appointees arr
