The Lumber NeWs.

Answering request for information
concerning the prospects of his mill,
one Of the largest producers in the
Hattiesburg district writes the News
as follows:
"The local press can be of great ad-
vantage to the saw mill people if they
can handle legitimate news in a con-
servatiye way. but the difficulty is tnat
necessarily they cannot afford to pay
a man trained in the lumber business
to edit their news and, of course, the
average reporter simply publishes the
statements that are given to him, and
oftentimes these statements come
from irresponsible sources. They pub
lish exaggerated reports of the condi-
ton Of the trade, which results in a
good deal of harm. For instance, at
this time there is a great deal going
around in the papers to the effect that
the saw mill business is on the boom
and that prices have advanced to
very profitable figure. The truth is
that relatively a small number of mills
have commenced operations in the
past six weeks, and while prices have
advanced considerably, they were so
much below cost, that they now barely
cover the actual cost. II you will con-
suit such men in your city as Mr.. W.
s. F. Tatum, Mr.. w. c. Rodgers, Mr..
L. L Major, or Mr. w. N. Conner, am
satisfied they will confirm my state

The Newton Record hands this de-

gress who recently discounted the
power of the press:
Hon. e. j. Currie, in his speech at
the Neshoba fair, took a shot at the
newspaper editors, saying among 9th
er things that anybody can run a
country newspaper. 1t may be little
cruel TO say so, but the Record cannot
resist saying that anybody can run
for congress, too, and make about as
good a showing as did Mr.. Currie. In
asmuch as it is so easy TO run a news
paper, he might enter the field, and
maybe find something he could do bet
ter than running for congress-"

Martin f. Robinson has been arrang-
ing and connecting the whole into
what is now a continuous story

most critical audience. Frank II.

highest praise. is the baritone.
"These distinguished artists have

wealth of expression and artistic abil-
ity. They have consented to give a

CITY COUNCIL TO
PROBE POLICE AFFAIRS

both companies appeared before the
council and discussed the relative
merits Of their wares. The Gorham
company offered a surety bond to
cover their goods and guaranteed to
replace all hose damaged by reason
of imperfect workmanship for the
next five years. The A. G. Long
company offered the same thing. The
chief of the fire department and ex-
Chief Hauser spoke in favor of the
A. G. Long hose, and the council ae-
cepted the 4. G. Long bid.
The ordinance TO alter and widen
c street and condemn property for
the connection Of c with Modern adj
dition, which is outside the city linn
it's, occupied the attention of the city
council and caused a spirited discus
sion among the members, principally
Counclmen Meigs and Smith. It
was maintained that c street was one
of the principal arteries into the city
and sooner or later the council would
have to make the connection. Upon
motion of Meigs the matter was re-
ferred to the street and ditch COM
mittee. At the present time the val
uation of the property to be con-
demned is estimated at $50, and
consists of fractional parts of lots.
The street and ditch committee
recommended the payment of w. w
Pettijohn for the Improvement Of
Walnut street. The matter was dis
cussed pro and con, and the recon-
mendation of the street committee
accepted.
Resolutions for the improvement
Of Front street, by grading and the
building of sidewalks, were adopted
The resolution providing for the
| building of a sidewalk on Walnut
street was adopted. Resolutions for
