DECLINED
ON REALIZING
Capital Traction i.ade the
Low Record for Three
Years.

Market conditions today on the Wash
ngton Stock Exchange were far from
satisfactory. There was a disposition
to realize on long holdings with the
natural result that prices crumbIed away
wherever there was any success in find
ing purchasers. Railways particularly
were specially weak and the amount Of
stocks offering was far IN excess Of the
very limited demand
The apparent intent 70 crowd prices
and register low quotations observable
lately In Washington Traction. was
again noticeable, with the result that
a new low record was made at 1901
which is the lowest figure since Novem-
Der, 1904. What II all means no one
seems 10 know, although II is said that
a large block is seeking a market and
Is the cause Of the depression.
Rather free selling Of Washington

the price down a half point on each

extended was decidedly lacking

by the willingness to furnish the stock

mark OF the recent rise to cash purchas-
ers. although option buyers have raid
better prices.

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCLA TON MA Y ERECT
HANDSOME $25, 900 HOME

The visit of Tri-State Secretary c..
H. Norman, Of the Young Mems
Christian Associations to this city is
going to give Hattiesburg what the
town has long needed badly, branch
association.
Just at present it is not thought to
be wise to give out any definite infor-
nation to. the newspapers, but 1t can
be stated on best authority that it is as
good as settled that the organization
will be effected very shortly and that
instead of renting or leasing the as
sociation here will build.
1t is proposed to build substantially,
too, for the home will be estimated to
cost 5,O00-nothing less will do
to begin with. From the very first 1t
is proposed to make the association
permanent as to home and this can
not be done except by building and
building well. The home for the as.
ISOLATION when 1t is completed, as pro.
posed, is to be credit to the city and
to the men whose generosity and pub
lic-spiritedness win make the building
of such a, structure possible.
During yesterday Mr.. Norman was

men and others who are to be inter-

detail the proposed plans as to the or
ganization Of a branch of the associa-
ton here. In the afternoon he was
taken for drive over the city by
Mr.. M. J. Epley and incidentally it is
supposed they called on some gentle
men in their homes while the drive
gave Mr.. Norman chance to see the
vast improvements in Hattiesburg
since his last visit here.
Those directly in touch with Mr..
Norman said that within the next
couple of days there would he good
news to give to the public through the
press, but that Just now it would mill.

fish what had been accomplished SO
far, in detail
In the meantime those who feel an
inttrest in this matter but are not on
the inside, can rest assured that the
organization will be effected and that
$4,000 home will be the base upon
which the branch in Hatticsbure
would solidIy rest.

Associated Press.


New Orleans, September 4-Jules
Schaffer, carpenter, living at 715
Louisiana avenue, tried to kill him
self with saw this morning. He pro-
duced CHASTITY wounds in his throat
and abdomen and is now an inmate Of
the Charity Hospital, suffering much
agony.
Schaffer has been Ill for some time
and grieved much because of his In
ability to get better. The illness from
which he suffered interfered with his
work and this morning he decided to
end it all. At $3.50 o'clock, while he was
out of view of the inmates of his home
he drew saw violently across his
throat several times. He tried to de-
liberately saw his throat and while the
blood was squirting in torrents from
the CHASTITY wound he applied the saw
to his abdomen and sawed deep into
the flesh of that region.
When Schaffer was discovered he
was great mass Of blood and pre-
scented most CHASTITY appearance.
The ambulance was hurriedly sum-
moned and Sc was conveyed to the
Charity Hospital. The surgeons at
that institution regard his injuries as
extremely dangerous. Both wounds
are CHASTITY, gaping cuts with the flesh
torn into shreds by the keyes Of the
saw.

COTTON PICKING
AT COUNTY FARM
CROP FOR THIS YEAR WILL BE A
VERY LARGE ONE.
VIII Raise Between seventy-five and
100 Bales Of Cotton on 1870 Acres of
Perry County Land-Farm to Be
Divided Next Year.

The counties of Perry and Forrest
are going to have big crop for this
the last year of their partnership in
county farm.
Next year these counties will run
individual farms and there will pos
sibly be some friendly rivalry as to
the crops raised by them.
Captain Watts, who has charge of
the County Farm, was in the city
yesterday morning and informed a re-
porter for the Daily News that cotton
picking is going on at the farm. He
said that with the close of yesterday
seven acres would have been gone
over for the first time and that those
seven acres would average bale to
the acre.
"We will have crop of 70 or 100
bales from our farm" said the Cap
tain, which is pretty good for the 100
acres that we have in cotton. Besides
eiiiS VIC nave q Soou Ciop VI Coln, peas
and potatoes and big truck garden
on which we raise a great portion of
the food we eat out at the farm"
The sales of this product of the
farm will go TO the county and the
sum will not be an inconsiderable one
by any means.
Walter Eure and the woman Edna
Gilbert, were taken out to the farm
within the Last day or two and as they
have about 81, 600 in fines to work out
besides the several time sentences,
they will have to stay out there some
time at 20 cents a day. The man has
been put to work on the farm and the
woman will work in the kitchen.

BURCH BUILDING
ADDS THIRD STORY

The Burch building, which is being
erected Jon Mobile street near East
Pine, is to be three stories instead Of
two, as at first intended.
After the walls had risen as high as
necessary for a two-story building, it
was decided to add another story and
as the foundations and walls were of
character to support the added
weight very easily, the work is being
done under the direction of the same
contractors, Oliver & Burkes. who
built the first story.
It is said that the added story viii
