The chief fears to which women urc

The others are fear Of losing hus-

AN OPEN LETTER.


To the Hattiesburg Daily News and
Hattiesburg Daily Progress:
Noting the article on first page of
Thursday mornings Daily News in
reference to report recently current
that there would be effected a consol-
alton of the News with its local
rival" meaning, of course, the Daily
Progress, I wish. to say what l think
should settle forever the attitude of
both papers on this subject.
On Monday, the 18th inst, Messrs.
Harris and Dinkins came to me and
stated that it was rumored that 1t
was only matter of hours when tns
News would be absorbed by the Daily
Progress"
They said in the face of such ru.
morssthey were paralyzed, and it was
useless for them to try to do bust
ness. This statement called from me
the statement that had on my own
personal responsibility been discuss
ing with Mr. Moffett the question o.
tne advisability and desirability Of
the consolidation of the two papers
under the title of "Progress-News.'

was entirely subject to the approval
Of the directors and stockholders OF
the Hattiesburg Printing and Publish
ing company. Having already learn
ed the plans proposed did not meet
the entire approval of the parties re-
ferred to, when Messrs. Harris and
Dmkins spoke to me, ] stated to
them, that if they again met the
rumor they were authorized to-. say
what was true, namely; that there
had been no negotiations on be-
tween the News and the Progress,
and that j would at once advise Mr..
Moffett through an intermediary "a
mutual friend of his and mine) that
any further consideration of plans by
me and him was at an end Mr.. Moi
felt accepted this conclusion of mine
without a word of protest or further
effort to reopen the untenable ques-
ton.
Now, I may recognize that there
may be distinction without a diff
ference, and that. Mr.. Moffett or any
one gaining their knowledge, for any
reason, through him could conclude
that negotiations between me and Mr.
Moffett were negotiations between
the News and the Progress. This is
an explanation of the rumor referred
to. 1 have already shown how Mr.
Harris, editor of the News, was cor
rect in stating that there were no ne
gotiations on between the News ant
any local rival"
1 now submit to both papers tbs
above statement on my own persona
responsibility, because of my unwill
ingness to become party to an.
transaction, that would involve an
other in one or two alterations, name
ly, humiliation or personal trouble.
I believe this statement from m,
should operate to put both papers IL
a right relation to each other, Will
! putting each in right light befor
the public.
J I will not close this without sayin
that it is my sincere wish that thi
letter will save the Progress from tn
necessity of any other explanation
while giving Mr.. Harris Of the New
t sufficient warrant for retracting an
4 1anouap in his article referred
that could be construed by any on
as referring to the Daily Progress
or Mr.. Moffett.

interests of the entire country as to

to make it excusable, If not sneces-

of the house and the country of the
support and Endorsement, or the OPP
position, of the Democratic minority.
In SO far as the things urged by the
President are good things, / would
like the country to know that all he
has to do is to deliver twenty or
twenty-five Republican house votes
in favor of them. These, conjoined
with the solid Democratic votes, will
put them through"

part of the distinguished minority
leader, and it stamps him as states

takes and personal shortcomings
When Mr.. Williams commends
without stint or sting the rneritorious
recommendation of Roosevelt and
challenges the Republican majority to
furnish twenty-five votes to enable the
Democratic minority to enact the
Presidents suggestions into law, he
shifts the burden to Republican
shoulders and becomes the leader OF
the Rooseveltian Democracy on the
floor of Congress.
With the solid support of the Demo
cratic minority at his bidding. and
