burg road to take part in the Roose-

STILL FURTHER REDUCTION
MAY BE MADE AT EARLY DATE
Action Is Not Restricted to Any Par
ticular Locality and Is Due Chiefly
to Adverse Conditions Over Which
the Mill Men Have No Control.

Secretary Ewing Walker, of the
Pine Association, has is
sued the following circular:
In response to inquiries recently
sent out from this office we have
heard from thirty mills, twenty-eight
of whom have reduced wages. OF the
two who have made no cut one states
that he may make reduction in near
future. There are, of course, a large
number of firms who have cut wages
at their plants, but from whom we
have received no statement.
!, "Of the twenty-eight mills reducing
wages eight are located on the Mo
bile. jackson and Kansas City Rail-
way. one on the Illinois Central one
on the Fernwood and Gulf, three on
the Mississippi Central, three on the
New Orleans and Northeastern, three
on the Alabama and vicksburg, and
ten on the Gulf and Ship Island. OF
the ten on the last Mentioned road
five are on the maiI line. four on the
Columbia branch add one aon the
Laurel branch.
1T is very obvious from TIE fore
going that this reduction o< Q1RN6
necessitated by adverse coU
is not restricted to any particU
cality Mills in every section
sissippi have made reductions rang
ing from 10 to 30 per cent, the aver
age cr' being 90 per cent.
''It Is seen from the reports re
ceived that -eductions were made as
early as June last and in a number Of
instances during the month OF July
Several of the mills which have al
ready cut wages state that they may
make further reduction in the near
future"

to the steamboat Belle of the Bends,
which Immediately left, followed by a
dozen or more other steamboats, and
all of the lighter craft that could be
mustered and crossed over to the city
Great crowds had gathered on the

less noisy than the blasts of the river
steamers.
Entering the first carriage at the
levee with Mayor Griffith and General

P0STOFFICE
MAKES Splendid SHOWING

Last week was an extra busy one
in Hattiesburg's always busy postof-
flee, for under orders from the gov
ernment, Postmaster Pitts and his
able and efficient assistant, Mr.. e. A.
-Kernaghan, were keeping tab on the
the business done in this office.
1t had been ordered from the de-
partment in Washington that strict
and accurate count be kept on every
kind of mail matter and that the totals
be forwarded to the capital when the
result was known. For this reason
the postoffice force was kept buster
than usual and all night long the boys
were working.
The real reason of this was that the
government was anxious to arrive at a
basis upon which it could make con-
tract with the railroads for the car
rying of the mails and the only way
was to find out exactly how much or
little was being handled by the COM
mon carriers.
Last Monday night, so far as the
local postoffice was concerned the
order went into effect and the boys got
busy.

HILL CITY
BADE WARM WELCOME
TO THE NATIONS CHIEF

back to Washington with set pur-
pose to do everything possible to see
that the United States does it's full
share toward making the Mississippi
River a deep-channel waterway from
the gulf to the Great Lakes. He de-
clared that it was his desire to see
the levees along the lower part of this
great alluvial valley so strong as to
allay all fear of an overflow, so that
the low lands of Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Louisiana would
be as safe as those beside the Hud-
son.
Discussing the further needs Of the
Mississippi Valley the President said
that he would include in his next mes
sage to congress recommendation
for liberal appropriations for the deep
waterway from the Gulf to the Lakes
and for the maintenance of the levees.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he depre-
Gated jobbery and favoritism as to
section in great undertakings of this
character, and declared that he be-
lieved that the government could do
a great deal of effective irrigation
work through certain portions of the
southern states moi. effected by the
canal proiect He Expressed the be-
lief that it would ultimately be possi-
| BILE to canalize and deeUep a large
number of smaller streams and that
the national government should bear
a portion of the cost
The President closed his address
with a tribute to citizenship and In
dividual worth.
Immediately after the address, he
was driven to a special train and de.
parted for Memphis and Nashville, in
which latter city he speaks tomorrow
morning.
