Mississippi Tobacco.

Hatiesburg, already the financial
and commercial capital of the lum-
Der. cotton. fruit and vegetable do
main OF South Mississippi, is about to
welcome another important source of
wealth and prosperity-tobacco cult
ure.
It has been amply demonstrated
that the sandy soil in the territory
tributary to Hattiesburg, where but a
few years ago towering pines. bid de-
fiance to agriculture, produces the fin
est tobacco in the world.
And it is stated on reliable author
ity that number of Forrest County
farmers will next year plant tobacco
on a large scale.
Like the famous home-cured, razor
backed ham. so affectionately remem-
bered by our older citizens who are
still fond of sweet potatoes and red
gravy, Forrest County tobacco is said
to possess a delightful flavor, pecul-
iarly its own.
This suggests the idea of cigar
factory-one that will manufacture
and exploit Hattiesburg cigars, made
from tobacco grown in South Mis-
sissippi.

LauseI Railroad Assessment.

AS a result of persistent effort on
the part of The Chronicle the assess
ments on the various public service
corporations operating in the city of
Laurel have been raised to a point
now nearing the bounds of reason.
Two years ago the editor of this paper
appeared before the railroad commits
sion and called the attention of that
body to the unreasonably low valua-
ton, when raise of $4,000 was made.
This year when the matter was up
before the commission, he appeared
again in behalf of the city's interests
and secured an additional raise in
the valuation of $40 ,277.50, as is shown
by the assessments reported by the
railroad commission. The Laurel city
assessment on railroad and common
carrier property is this year S108,-
$3.50, as against $S9,322 for 1907.
The increase in the valuations will
amount to $327.70 additional tax
money for the city.
AS stated above the increases made
tend to bring this corporation property
within the bounds of reason, yet a
great deal of it would have to be
double and some of it treb1ed in value
to bring it up to the plane upon which
the average individual gives in and
pays taxes on his property. The
Chronicle will not rest satisfied until
this is done.-Laurel Chronicle

TAFT LAUDS MARTYRS
At FORT GREENE TODAY

New York. November 14.-With an
address by President-elect William H.
Taft and with civic and military exer-
cises that were among the most no.
table in the history of the city, the
Fort Greene monument to the Prison
Ship Martyrs was dedicated today. A
brilliant assemblage of governors and
official representatives from ell of the
thirteen original states witnessed the
unwilling of the massive and beautiful
memorial to the revolutionary heroes.
Mr.. Tafts address was a patriotic
masterpiece and was literally ap-
plauded. The monument ranks among
the five greatest structures of It's kind
in America and is an impressive adj
dition to the architectural beauties of
Greater New York. Major General
Charles F. Roe acted as grand mars
shall of the spectacular parade that
was part Of the ceremonies.
The monument has been erected in
memory of the 10000 or more patriots
who lost their lives in the prison ships
anchored in Wallabout bay. Brooklyn.
during the revolution. Their bodies
were at first buried in the sand on the
shore, but were afterwards moved to
a more fitting place in Fort Greene
park. For the monument to them
congress appropriated 100000, New
York state $4,000, New York City
$4,000, while $4,000 was raised by
voluntary subscription.
The committee in charge of the cere-
monies consisted of General Luke E.
Wright, secretary of war; Charles e.
Hughes, governor of New York;
George B. Mcclellan, mayor of New
York; s. V. White, president Prison
Ship Martyrs Monument Association;
Stephen NJ. Griswold, representing So
ciety of Old Brooklynites; General Ho-
ratio c. King. trustee Prison Ship
Martyrs Monument Association; John
B. Creighton, secretary Brooklyn

A Pledge to the South.

Edward Ward Carmack, recently as
sassinated in Nashville, was a gifted
writer and an eloquent orator. In one
of his speeches on the floor of the
United States Senate, he is quoted as
saying:
The South is a land that has known
sorrows; it is land that has broken
the ashen crust and moistened it
with it's tears; a land SCARED and riv-
en- by the plowshare of war and billow
ed with the graves of her dead; but
land of legend, a land of song, a
land of hallowed and herioc memories.
ITO that land every drop of my
blood, every fiber of my being, every
pulsation of my heart is consecrated
forever.
Il was born of her womb; 1 was
injured at her breast, and when my
last hour shall come, l pray God that
l may be pillowed upon her bosom and
rocked in sleep within her tender an6
encircling arms"

CIRCUS Was
POOR SHOW
Two Performances in Hattiesburg
Were Cut Short and the People
Were Disappointed

The John Robinson shows have
come and gone, leaving Hattiesburg
for Mobile.
Unquestionably a majority of people
who saw this show while it was in
Hattiesburg were disappointed.
AS matter of fact, it is said that
large number of the animals were
never carried to the grounds at all
and it is practically certain that a
great deal of the tent performance
was left out. Any other conclusion
would be unjust to the show itself,
for it is known that in former days
the John Robinson show was one of
the very best in the United States.
There are hundreds of people in Hat.
tiesburg who saw the old John Robin
son show many years ago, and the
exhibition here yesterday was a bur-
lesque on its former grandeur and
greatness.
The only conclusion, therefore, is
that the Robinson show, by being de-
layed in getting here, and being anx-
ious for the box offices receipts. gave
about half of what the show usually
gives.
There were some good features and
the price of admission was less than
really large shows usually charge.
For the sake of the reputation made
by this show away back in the past
and for the hope of future business,
the management should not have ex-
hibited only about half of the show
here yesterday.

Business Improving.

The Birmingi@,l Age-Herald calls
attention to the fact that the upward
trend in trade and industries is al
ready well started. and that the en-
tire country is now on the road to
permanent prosperity.
Business men had been waiting for
the cessation of political distractions
and as soon as they we're ended they
began to buy goods, to secure plans
for new buildings, to buy raw ma
terials. to order cars, and to set in
motion the various wheels of bust
ness as well as of industries. All
lines of business share in the feeling
of confidence that spread over the
country almost as if by magic as soon
as the ballots had been cast.
The country wants no booms, no
speculative activities in the exchanges
or elsewhere. 1t wants instead
steady upward course of business due
to mutual confidence and an improved
and improving situation. A boom this
winter would be extremely undesir-
able. and it would in itself create dis
trust. Nothing of that nature is an
ticipated, but a steady return to or
toward normal conditions is anticipat-
eds, in fact, well started and seems
to be well assured.
The panic of October, 1907, was one
Of the worst this country has ever
experienced. and the speedy manner
in which it is passing away is matter
of general congratulation. Fine crops
are leaving in the hands of South
ern and western farmers net money
which is finding ways to the channels
of trade. When farmers have sur
plus money they are pretty sure to
order goods of some sort, or to put
up additional buildings, or to buy ad-
ditional stock. The chief product of
the South is rising in value, and this
section bids fair to share in the bust
ness development of the season.

FOR JOINT MANEUVERS.
Plan On Foot to Give Naval Militia
Practice With Regulars.

A plan is on foot at the navy depart

tic coast states and the torpedo flo
tilla, the submarines and the mo
ther" ships. Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Newberry, has sent letters
to the governors of various states in
viting their cooperation n the move
ment. 1t is proposed to have maneu-
vers off Gardeners Bay, at the east
ern end of Long Island, probably the
latter part of July. Eleven states
have ships assigned to their naval
militia by the navy department and
they are mostly converted yachts.
Great benefit, it is thought, will ac-
crue to the civilian militiamen by ac-
tual contact in these proposed joint
maneuvers with the regulars.
