Conditions Improving.

The latest advices, regarding the
financial situation, indicate a steady
improvement.
The well known banking house of
Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne, of New
York. says the outlook favors an en-.
larged inquiry for high grade bonds,
and short time notes now being offered
by the railroads. But few railroads are
yet negotiating for long time loans.
1t will be recalled that Europe sent
us upwards of 100 million dollars in
gold. during the panic. Naturally this
gold would at this time be finding it's
way back to Europe. The exports of
the precious metal are light. Should
the demands for the return suddenly
become large, no disturbance would
follow, for the excellent reason that
statistics show there is in circulation
outside of the treasury holdings of the
government matter of 200 millions
of dollars more money than we had
twelve months ago. The surplus re-
serve held by the banks is today higher
than it has been any time since 1897
or within eleven years. Supply and
demand control in finance as well as in
other domains. Since the supply is
now apparently so abundant it only
remains for the creation of demand,
through return of normal conditions
in trade circles to bring about a
healthy flow of the nations life blood.
1t is strongly urged that the eco
Monies adopted since the panic of
Last fall have been so marked, so far
reaching and so proper as to absolutely
assure, a healthy and sound condition
for long time to come. The effects
of the presidential campaign have
undoubtedly been discounted and there
is but little to be feared from this
source.
The above refers to national condi-
lions.
Locally, we make these observa-
tions: On Monday of last week there
was manifest decided optimistic
spirit. A spring in the step of bust
ness men, glow in the eye of every
one, a note Of cheer in the tones of
our people was manifest. Tuesday

liquidation of a comparatively small
Indebtedness. it is required that
100000 shall be used for improve
ments. This, of course will make the
bonds more easily sold.
1t is provided that the. sum of
$4,000 a year shall be paid in by the
traction company as a sinking fund,
which amount is to be invested and
the interest thereon to be counted as
capital. The condition is such that
the traction company will have the
privilege of reinvesting the sinking
fund
The mortgage covers all the fran
chises and property of the traction
company and it's allied interests, the
gas and electric light plant.
The document is a very long one
and is signed on the part of the trac.
ton company by the president, AL
fred F. Thomasson, attested by New.
ton Blount, notary. On the part OF
the trust company it is signed by L.
l.. Stanton, president, and attested
by VIM. c. Cox, secretary.
1t is understood that there will be
no trouble in placing the bonds, as
the security given is worth a great
many times the amount of the mort
gage.
The selling of the bonds will be
handled by Guy NJ. Walker, who is a
prominent bond broker on Wal
street.
When Mr.. Walker was here he was
not slow to see the great future that
is certainly before Hattiesburg and
the entire section of South Missis
sippi. Mr.. Walker has been an ex
tensive traveller and has been practi
cally all over the world and he stat
ed, while here, that this section had
the greatest possibilities of any
country that he had ever visited. He
is said to be man of fine Judgment
and he was not only delighted with
Hattiesburg, but with the entire
South Mississippi section. He is SO
well known as bond broker and as
man who personally investigates
and offers only gilt-edged securities
that he does not have to hunt buyers
OF bonds that he offers-investors &c
to his office to seek the bonds that
he places on the market, and he is
OF the opinion, so it is understood,
that he has never offered better in.
yestment than the traction company's
bonds, and he expects to sell them
with ease.
AS soon as all the preliminary ar
rangements can be made, the bonds
will be autographed and placed on
the market and when sold, about

A Newspapers
Greatest Asset.

The Editor and Publisher, a maya
zine devoted to the promotion of the
interests of the Fourth Estate, gives
expression to the following splendid
sentences concerning the duties and
responsibilities of editorship and the
manner in which newspapers are usual
ly guaged by the reading public. II
is worth reading:
The greatest asset any newspaper
can have is that intangible and yet ex
ceedingly valuable thing known as
good will. Nothing is harder to get
or so easily lost Some publishers
have spent millions of dollars trying to
gain It, but have failed utterly. Others
have won 1t practically without the
expenditure of a single dollar. The
successful newspapers of today were
not born yesterday. They were estab-
lished-nost of them-many years
ago, and have attained their present
position by patient persevering and in
telligent hard work. Good will is
dence comes only after trial
Hence no newspaper can expect,
under ordinary circumstances, to have
the loyal support of Its public as soon
as it is launched. 1t must be tested in
the .crucible of experience; it must
prove its right to exist Promises
count for nothing; it is their faithful
performance that inspires confidence
and wins support.

hours, the loss there was found to be
insignificant as compared to what the
Newmans had left, and especially
when compared to what Hattiesburg

RAILROADS PROSPEROUS
Continued from page one.

crease in operating expenses owing to
general increases in wages; but, al
lowing for such increase, the larger
volume of traffic and greater revenue
derived therefrom yielded larger
net return to the railroads.
The Southern roads, the Louisville
& Nashville and the Southern, in
creased their total revenues from
traffic, their total operating expenses
and also their net income from opera
ton, over the corresponding half year
of 1906.
Therefore, viewing the country as
whole, from West to East and from
North to South, the outlook for the
railroads of the United States, as
shown by their own figures, is not so
disquieting as has been supposed;
and these figures, it must be remem-
bered, include at least two months
after the panic began in New York,
during a greater portion of which
time banks would not make loans or
discounts and railroads in many parts
of the country would not receive
checks in payment of freight.
Although the returns to the COM
MISSION for January have not yet
been tabulated, it is probable that
\ they will show that conditions have
been worse than in December; but
this is also ~ be borne IN mind, that
the month of January is generally the
slackest month during the year, and
February is also poor. There are no
doubt, individual instances in which
the revenues of roads have seriously
declined during the past three months
over corresponding periods for sew
eral years past; but three are also
individual instances in which, singu
lar to say, the last three months have
been as good as any corresponding
three months in other years, and in
one case, the Oregon Railroad & Nav
igation Co., the commission has been
thdt tnC past IuT6t
months have been the best in the
roads entire history.
There can be no question but thai
within the past three weeks there
has been a strong upward tendency
in freight revenues. A greater volume
of traffic is moving today than ha.
been moved at any time during the
past two, and perhaps, three months
The figures of the American Railwa,
association show that there is less
surplus of cars at this time than a
any period since the Both of October
This promises an early return t.
more normal conditions, and railroad
men generally are more optimisti,
than they have been since the. Knick

income for 1907 than for 1906 by near
