Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-27

The bottom dropped clear out Of
the sensational rumors about the nu-
merous negroes that were killed at
or near McLaurin yesterday when
people read the statements as made
in the Daily News and that late train
with full details that was being
looked for SO eagerly last night before
the long distant specials we're sent,
has not arrived here Yet.
On the contrary the whole thing
has been shown to have been made of
the whole cloth and there was not a
word of truth in the report as to the
killing-the nearest thing to killing
being the threats of few irrespon-
sible parties to do bodily harm to GER
tain negroes or people who tore down
the miserable scrawls that had been
posted.

bred acres of land that lies to the
west of the city within a few miles of
the corporate limits, and the dec
laration tells story that is interest
| ing.
1t traces the title from the govern
mental patent down to its present
owner, who had his title from A. A.
Sumrall and wife, and shows every
change in the title and the fault as
well, and this suit is brought simply
to clear away this fault and make the
title clear.
The people named in the suit are
dead long ago, but they may have de-
scendants left, but even If there are,
it is said that the suit is friendly
one simply to make good the present
owners title.

Christianity rebukes the lax moral
code of the foreign community that
the latter so strongly condemn mis-
sions. This is rather too sweeping,
and too easy an answer to the charges
laid at the door of the missionaries.
First, it is worth finding out just
what the churches are doing for the
English-speaking settlement There
is in Yokohama prosperous and we'll
attended Church of England, support
ed by individuals and by English busi-
ness firms, who follow the old English
custom of renting number of sittirgs
for their employees. In sense, this
Church of England is the center of the
social life of the community. There
is also French Roman Catholic
church. we'll established and success
full. For Americans there is a Union
church, which every Sunday morning
holds services in the building of one

, the evening a vesper service in the
attractive auditorium of the Dutch
Reformed girls school on the bluff.
These services are supplied by differ
ent missionaries each Sunday An

this congregation and to call a pastor

A curious story illustrates the COM
posite character of this important city
and shows, not only the commingling
Of the old and the new here, but also
the chaotic state of the Japanese
mind at present with respect to reli-
gion. Upon Yokohama's famous bluff
rich American has built an elaborate
home, which SO greatly resembles a
Buddhist temple that the Japanese
were at first angry at what they
thought to be mockery. Fearing that
for this reason the building might be
burned, the insurance companies for a
long time declined to accept it as a.
risk.
