either confirm or deny the report and
officials of the Canton Heat, Light

However. a confirmation Of the re-

to many Canton business men. Since
the organization of the Merchants

MORGAN ENGINEERING
Works May Be Removed to Canton Be-
cause Of Lack Of Facilities
at Alliance.

II is possible that the big shops Of
the Morgan Engineering works, now
situated In Alliance, will soon be To-
Gated In Canton. Col w. II. Morgan
has stated that It was necessary that
the. plant should be moved from AL
lance because of the fact that It is
nampered In many ways, ana a place
must be sought where conitions
would be much better. Canton has
been chosen as very favorable site,
IL the intended move should take
place, and If the railroad facilities
and the matter of site Is arranged as
desired the works may be moved to
Canton.
The intention of the company is to
move It's plant one department at a
time. and gradually dismantle the
present shops, 80 that there would be
bat slight loss of time and but
little inconvenience. The company
has considered going to Detroit,
Cleveland and Chicago, but 1t was
stated that 1t did not desire to move
the entire shops at one time and
neither did It wish to be far from
Plttsburg, 80 in all respects Canton
seems TO he the most favorable loca-
ton.
The Morgan Engineering company
employs something over one thous-
and men. and If It changes It's loca-
tion 1t is proposed to enlarge the
plant and TO increase the working
force from three TO five hundred men.
IL Is looking for site of from SO to
75 acres for It's plant and @. A.
Dougherty, president Of the Canton
board of trade. stated that site of
100 acres could easily be found bor
the company. That Canton could
easily accommodate the. Morgan En-
cheering works is certain for the
board of trade would not only furnish
them with a size. but the Pennsyl-
vania and w. and L. Il. railroad
would readily lay tracks to their
plant.
It was stated that the reasons for
moving were because of the crowded
conditions existing at Alliance. be-
side various other obstacles which
have been met. The company It was
stated. had difficulty in getting skilled
workmen TO come to Alliance because
of It's comparatively small size, and
because It did not furnish the ad'
vantages to its citizens which are
afforded in a larger city. A change
Is also imperative because of the
growth of the business of the com.
pany.

Plating Aluminium.

A process of plating aluminium with
copper by welding methods has been
invented in Germany by Herr Wach-
nitz. This is regarded as important
because one OF the obstacles to a wide
use Of aluminium has been its compara-
tive lack OF resistance to the action OF
many fluids and its failure to hold
paint These objections are removed
when 1t is covered with thin plating
of copper, while It's weight is not mat
erially increased.

Conneetieut,s Bad showing.

Connecticut is usually regarded as
a safe and pleasant place to live In.
and yet It had forty-three murders In
1906 whore Maine had only two. To
be, sure, Connecticut has more peo-
pie than Maine, but not so very
many morei It has fewer than L.
100000, while Maine has 725.00O.
1t is fair to state that It was an un-
usually bad year for the old Nutmeg
State In this respect, as It's forty
three murders are more than It ever
had before in a single year. and sew
enteen more than the annual aver
age for the last decade.

COW Swallowed
HIS WATCH
Wireless Special.

DIR. D. D. Bell, one of the best known
veterinarians of Lexington, KY, was
called in to youch for the finding of a
gold watch in the lung of a COW by
F. Dryden, butcher, and also APP
pointed referee in a controversy over
the claim to the watch made by the
owner, Israel Rudge.
DIR. Bell says that in the spring of

barn, when a calf got hold of his
waistcoat and chewed it up. He could
not find his gold watch, but when he
sold the COW a few months ago Mr..
Dryden he said he believed the ami

SOIL IS ADAPTED FOR The
RAISING OF fine VEGETABLES
Truck Growers Association Would
Aid Materially in the Development
of the Industry and in the Shipping
of the Pr S.

The question most frequently asked
by people who are told of the mar
velous growth of Hattiesburg, is,
What will support the town after the
timber is gomez?
This question is being satisfactorily
answered every day by the develop
ment of the trucking industry, and
this is growing so rapidly that it is
a matter of only a few years when it
will far outrank the wealth that is
now being produced by the lumber
and kindred interests.
The Daily News got some valuable
information along this line yesterday
from Mr.. ]. A. Hearn, agricultural
agent of the Northeastern Railroad
who was in the city. He said:
"Hattiesburg is destined to become
a great trucking center within the
next few years. Trucking business
is being carried on near the town
in a comparatively small way, and
those who have engaged in the bust
ness have been so successful that
others are being attracted to this
point, and l have recently induced
about dozen families to locate near
Hattiesburg for the purpose of en-
gaging in the business. These fam
lilies are all experienced truck farm
ers from Galman, Crystal Springs and
Hazlehurst, and part of them have
already located in or near Petal, and
the others will move here in time tc
make next years crop. Altogether
twenty farms have been sold within
three miles of Hattiesburg to be
used for the trucking industry, and as
the value of this soil becomes more
generally understood, more lands viii
be utilized for this purpose.
Careful tests have shown that the
soil around Hattiesburg is superior fol
truck farming to that around Crysta
Springs or Hazlehurst. There is less
gravel in the soil, and the lands are
more level and not so liable to wash

The Charge Against Him.

Before the magistrate the defendant
was charged with being drunk and in
capable. He was a stranger in the
district, but he was most acutely in
dignant that he should be suffering
the humiliation of his present position.
"The constable seems very certain
about everything connected with my
case" he sneered. "but there is one
weak point in his evidence. Why
impressively-"does he not call his fell
low officer to corroborate what he
says?" His worship turned an inquir-
ing look upon the policeman, who vain
ly endeavored to conceal an expansive
smile behind an ample but for that
purpose all too small hand. There's
only one constable stationed in the
village, SIR" said the officer. But l
