KNIGHTS ADDRESS fine
From Wednesday, Daily Post.

From Weduesday's Daily Post.
Commencement exercises of the
Glass of 1908 of the Glenwood
high school were held at the op-
era house last night, and diplo-
mas were presented to the five
young people who had completed
the four years work. The thea
ter was well filled when the exer-
cises began, and the participants
acquitted themselves with great
credit to themselves and to their
instructors.
The boxes had been tastefully
decorated with American flags,
and seated on the stage were Will
liam Dougan, president of the
school board, Secretary Lowe, Su-
perintendent Underwood, Prof.
Mayes, Bishop Knight, B. T. Ma
pier, Rev. Harbert, Rev. Foote,
Miss Allen and the five graduates.
The first two numbers on the
program were music and march
by the orchestra, which was fol-
lowed by the invocation by Rev.
FOote.
Anna Graham delivered the
salutatory and had for her sub
ject Immigration" She touched
upon the evils of allowing hordes
of foreigners to become residents
of the United Atatss and aeaye m
tslE 1Es6 f6Sfr motives for
csleing and their harmful infiu-
sasae hpon American politics. 1t
was a splendid effort and she was
roundly applauded by the audi
ence.
The class poem by Debora
King, filed with humorous refer
ences to her class mates, scored
hit with her hearers. and caused
many smiles to ripple over the au
dience, who have known most of
them since their childhood days
Nina Walz gave the class his
tory, and her references to the
life of that body showed strong
sense of humor that was kecnly
appreciated by everyone.
Music by the orchestra came as
a prelude to the class will, given
by Will Miller. Couched in legal
phraseology. the bequests of the
Naughty Fights caused many
bursts of laughter. The faculty
was generously remembered, and
doubtless will take good care of
its unexpected inheritance.
"Only Beginning" by Mary
McNulty, was the heaviest num-
Der on the program. Her view
point of commencement was a
broad one and expressed the hope
that all realized that what had
gone before was in truth only
beginning, a preparation for the
stern realities of life.
The solo by Rev. Foote, "Sing
Me to Sleep" was one of the
most enjoyable numbers of the
evening and proved to those who
had never heard him he is a good
a singer as he is preacher. So
delighted was the crowd that he
was compelled to give an encore,
and sang "My Rosary" in a way
that is seldom heard in any town
or city.
The commencement address, by
Bishop E. ]. Knight, was mas
terly effort. He spoke Of the ben
efits of higher education, and said
in part:
"Some of the states have ques-
toned the wisdom Of higher edu-
cation and have been somewhat
averse to putting this burden on
the taxpayer. We are told that
there is every reason for main
tanning the common school but
that the burden Of what is called
higher education should be borne
by the individuals who wish that,
and not by the taxpayer.
"Those who make such claims
are laboring under q misconcep-
ton. For the results which every

John d. Minis and son were in
Glenwood last evening, leaving
this morning for Red Cliff, where
Mr. Minis will assume charge of
his old paper, the Eagle County
Blade, until other arrangements
can be made. This is made nec-
essary by the action of the feder-

sentencing the new proprietor of
the paper, w. II. Hildreth, to the
federalprison at Leavenworth.
Mr.. Minis has arranged to go to
Twin Falls, Ida, August 1, hav-

GRAND OPERA

music lovers and theater goers of Hat
tiesburg to learn that the Hilano
grand opera company will not come to

This news came yesterday to Man
ager Bixler, which announcement also
contained the information that the
company had closed for the season.
Mr.. Bixler had used extraordinary
efforts to afford our citizens the op-
portunity of hearing this grand musi-
cal combination and he deserves the
thanks of all for his zeal and enter
prise. He is also greatly disappoint-
ed over the cancelhng of this engage

FRANCHISE MAY BE ASKED
AT NEXT COUNCIL MEETING
When Franchise Is Granted the Char
ter Will Be Prepared and Perma-
nent Organization Effected-Wili
Build Modern Plant.

Hattiesburg is soon to have more
light on the subject"
That is a new electric light plant
will probably be constructed before
the end of this year.
The Daily News has known for
scme time that efforts we're beng
p.ade to effect the organization of
new electric light and rover plant,
but not until now has it been deemed
proper to mention the matter
From a source not altogether re-
liable it is learned that the contem-
plated organization is practically as
sured, but the details were not given
out.
The statement has been made on the
very best authority that at a future
meeting of the city council that body
will be asked to grant a franchise to
the new company. The gentleman
making this statement said he felt
confident that the matter of a fran
chise would be brought to the atten-
ton of the city council at its first
meeting in April-one week from to-
night, but if not then it would certain
ly be presented at the may term.
The promoters, who are composed of
we'll known business men, feel con-
fident that they can make fine sue
cess of the undertaking.
1t is understood that the arrange
ments for financing the new concern
have already been completed and thai
it will have ample capital.
AS soon as a franchise shall have
been secured, it is the purpose oi
the promoters to secure a charter and
organize for business.
Further than these statements, the
Daily News is not at this time at lib
erty to go, but the statements con-
tanned herein were made, in substance,
by well known citizen who knows
what he is talking about.

LUMBERTON MILL
TO Be REBUILT

Information was received in the
city yesterday that the burnt part
of the Camp & Hinton Lumber Com
pany mill would be rebuilt and that
the work of rebuilding will begin at
once.
1t will be remembered that neither
the saw mill nor the planer Of this
plant was burned and the determina-
ton to rebuild the destroyed portion
was not unexpected. In fact, the
operators of this valuable plant could
hardly have done otherwise, but the
determination to rebuild at once is
commendable and will no doubt make
the citizens of Lumberton feel much
easier for there will not likely be
any reduction on the pay roll.
In the rebuilding, ]. D. Duvall, a
Lumberton contractor. has the brick
work and Fairbanks & Co., of New
Orleans, will do the piping.
1t is stated by those who claim to
know, that Mr.. J. H. Hinton Is now
in Chicago on business concerning
the reclaiming of the Camp e Hinton
property, and it is believed that with
in the next few months the affairs
of the company will be taken out o
the hands of the receivers and re
stored to the men who really own tht
property.

The last Democratic administration

great resources of the country quickly

Straightway the Republican politi-
clans claimed all the credit. They
raised the cry, and kept it up, that
Democratic rule brings bad times and
Republican rule good times. They
could not remember the panic of 1873
when the Democratic party was all but
extinct after the defeat of Greedy. They
tried to deny until forced to admit that
they had sold and we're about to issue
