REV. R. c. RAWLS
Sees fine CROPS

Rev. d. c. Rawls returned last night
from visit to Carriere and out in the
country from that place.
Mr., Rawls states that he was sur
prised at thea progress that had been
made along farming lines in that sec
ton. He says he saw some splendid
corn and cotton and that the outlook
for large yield was good.
But what struck Mr. Rawls with spe-
cial force was the largge quantities of
velvet beans that were being grown by
tfe1armers. These beans are not used
for table use, but for stock food, and
as such are not excelled by any other
variety of food so those say who have
grown them.
These beans grow waist high and
are very prolific. 1t is said that a rc
can be planted out among the pines
and it will produce weih Scarcely any
cultivation is sed6irel and Mr.. Rawls
is of the opinion that some one around
Hattiesburg should make a test of
this special variety of beans.

PLENTY OF FUNDS
WILL BE AVAILABLE
For the Completion of the Electric Car
Line-6eIieved That a construc-
tion Man Will Be Here Soon and
That Work Will Commence.

Some good news has been received
from Hon. H. s. Stevens, who left Hat
tiesburg last week to visit New York
in the interest of the traction COM
pany.
Word comes from Mr.. Stevens that
everything looks just as well as could
be desired and that there will be no
trouble in placing at once the neces-
sary bonds for the building of the
power house and the completion of the
street car system. Guy Walker, the
New York broker, has everything ar
ranged SO that sufficient funds can be
secured to go to work at an early day
to complete the street car system Not
only can the necessary funds be OBJ
tanned, but machinery men are anxious
to trade their wares for the bonds.
1t is practically certain that within
a, month work will have started on the
car Line or the power house, and pos
sibly both.
AS stated in the Daily News short
time ago, a construction man can be
expected to shsw up most any time.
The street cars are coming and they
are coming soon. This is a settle1
fact.
Mr.. Stevens is reported to be more
than pleased with the success of his
trip and he is expected home within
the next day or two.
