Hattiesburg is thriving city OF APP

growth is one of the marvels OF the
fast expanding South, due to natural
resources such as are possessed by no
other town or city in Mississippi.
Hattiesburg is the center of the vel
low pine belt of South Mississippi, the

Hattiesburg has numerous fhanufact
uring plants and wholesale and job
bling houses representing practically
all lines, and the merchants of the
smaller towns within radius Of fifty
miles can buy cheaper in Hattiesburg
than in the larger cities, deducting the
difference in freight rates.

MOT0RMAN STOPS DERAILED

CREW GAINS FEARS OF Ex-

Broken Rail Causes Coach to Jump
Track and Plunge Toward Side
walk Studded with Elec-
trio Wire Poles

The presence of mind and the
promptness Of Motorman o. e. Brown
of the Pacific Electric Railway com
pany prevented probable disastrous
wreck late yesterday afternoon.
Motorman Brown, in charge of Gar
vanza and East Ninth car 202, with
Conductor L. c. Roller, was east
bound on Also street, and at the inter
section of Center street the car struck
broken rail and jumped the track.
AS 1t came in contact with the pave
ment the car lurched to one side and
the impact threw the passengers from
their seats and hurled the motorman
backward, causing his head to hit the
bottom Of the door of the car.
With full power on, the car at the
time of the accident, the impetus given
it started it at full speed toward the
sidewalk and a line of telegraph and
telephone poles.
Both Motorman Brown and Con-
ductor Roller warned the frightened
passengers not to jump, and the motor
man, who had now regained his feet,
sprang to his controller and applied
the automatic brakes.
There was a grinding crash and a
shower of fire from the wheels as they
locked, and the car came to a stop just
as the fender struck a big telephone
pole.
There was nobody hurt, and beyond
a lot of excited passengers, tornup
track which impeded traffic for an
hour or two and a damaged car, the
accident resulted in nothing serious.
With less courageous men in charge of
the car the result would probably have
been awful.
