There is already feeling of good
cheer among the people over the fact
that there is now every reasonable as
surance that the Newman mill will be
built on a larger scale than ever be-
fore.
Conversation, with men who are en-
ployed. in all lines show that prac-
tically all heartily endorse the action
of the city council in exempting the
plant from tax for ten years.
At a meeting of the stockholders
to be held in Scranton, Pa, Monday
the matter of rebuilding will be con,

it would be located in Hattiesburg

DAILY news JOB OFFICE
SOLD 1O-L0CAL PRINTERS

AS announced several weeks ago,
the Daily News has retired from the
job printing business, and henceforth
the energies of the entire force will
be directed to the sole task of pub
fishing live daily newspaper.
The daily newspapers of Jackson,
Meridian and Vicksburg retired from
the job printing business several years
ago.
Actual experience taught-them that
it was altogether impracticable to
print a good newspaper and at the
same time do commercial printing
The same conditions exist in Hatties-
burg and the Daily News is confident
that it is making no mistake in dis
posing of its job printing business.
The Martin Printing Company has
purchased the presses and motors
heretofore used in our job printing
department, which will be added 10
the already extensive equipment of
that splendid Hattiesburg institution
Theastationery stock has been sold
to the American Printing Company
another exclusive JOB printing estab
lishment, which is rapidly, becoming
one of the leading concerns of i8 kind
in South Mississippi.
Both the Martin Printing Company
and the American Printing Company
have advertisements in today's issue
of the News and we commend them te

THE DUTY Of MAN To.
LOVE THE SAVIOR OF men
Interesting and Eloquent Sermon at the Main
Street Methodist Church.

we love, our effort is to convey the
impression of our love to its object. If
we love Christ we will certainly COM
municate that fact to Christ. AS
nicating that fact to every soul fitted
to respond to that love. He here de-
fined regeneration as the correspond
ence of the moral quality in man with
the moral quality Of Gods We should
love God for what He has done for
the. world, for what he does for the
individual. Christ condescends to
call us friends. He thanked God be-
cause He felt that the Spirit had as
sured Him He was not called to be
slave of God. Ye are not servants
(slaves), but friends II We do My
will saith Christ. What would you
think of a son who was constantly
saying he loved his father, but who
allowed the affairs of his father to
suffer ruin because of neglect? Would
a father thus treated believe his sons
profession of love? The text teaches
that If you do not love you are al
ready under the curse. To the church
of Christ we are indebted for all the
works of mercy. Every hospital, al
Red Cross work, everything of this
kind are but expressions of the love
promoted by the church. To the
church members present he asked the
question, Can you see the golden grail
in Hattiesburg ready for the cycle ans
yet sit down and do nothing to saw,
sinners? or go to sleep without 81
fore to do for the church?
Maramatho "the Lord cometh" is tn,
reason for all this. What a day wi
that be! What a day of sadness tt
the Indifferent! What day of glad
ness to the workers. He who love
God will do Gods work.

The services at Main Street Meth
odist Church continues. Preaching al
10 o'clock every morning, at every
night. A prayer meeting service at
$3.50 p. M, lasting for thirty minutes
is also being held daily for the Chris
tian workers. Rev. Mr.. Glice, the
preacher, continues to speak with
great earnestness. There was man
ifest improvement in the interest on
the part of the people last night. A
greater number of responses to his
propositions was apparent. The sing
ing was fervent. The heartiness
with which the. congregation joined
in the. old songs was quite notice
able.
Mr.. Guice took as his text the ed
verse of the 18th chapter of First Cor
inthians. IF any man love rot the
Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathe-
ma mara-matha." The duty Of man
to love the Savior of man Is plain
Paul here did not base the curse
upon the sinful acts of men, out ana
thema is upon every man who loves
not, making the condition imperative
He stated that the worst enemies Of
the church today are not the skeptics
who believes not God and rejects Hi:
Christ, but the professor of religion
whom indifference to Christ's com
mands permit him to sleep RICH
around the altar. Indifference is thu
negative principle in life, not that mel
are fighting the church, but that the!
simply sit down and go to sleep witt
sinners dying all around.
He admonished his hearers to lie
love for Christ move them to action
Why? Because he is worthy. IL
paused to ask, What is love? Love /
: the desire for self communication.

will also be considered by the board
of directors, but it is feared that the
closeness of the money market may
somewhat~delay the work.
However, it is known that the plans
have been adopted, the machinery Sc
lected and when work begins, which
will most likely be during the present
summer, the plant will be rapidly
completed.
To show how largely public senti-
ment endorses the action of the board

TOO BAD.

Roses, roses everywhere
Make chap forlorn,
II the others roses bear,
While he gets a thorn,
Looking on the brighter side
Helps lot, it's true,
But the gladness seems to hide
When a fellows blue.
Though tbs now the month of June
And the brides sing
Far more sweetly, more in tune
Than they did in spring;
Though the bees and butterflies,
Roam the fields anew.
Only tears may fill his eyes
When fellows blue.
Wonder where the smiles all go
And the bits of song,
when a chap is deep and woe
And his plans go wrong?
All the sweetness fades away,
Trouble seems to brew,
Joy can't find word to say
When a fellows blue.

SAME OLD PLAY
SAME OLD THRILLS

A small audience greeted Human
Hearts" at the opera house last
night. Those who had seen the pro-
duction before found it about as US
ual, while the first nighters had the
additional pleasure Of absorbing the
story ab initio, as it were.
The play has not suffered from the
rayages of time Tom Logan, the
blacksmith was sent up for life for
the violent death of his father, but
after some years it turned out that
Tom was not the guilty party, after
all If he had been, the audience
would have had no sympathy for
him, and subsequent developments
would have been simply a miscarriage
of justice Frederick Armsdale, the
villain, was OF course the guilty
party, but the jury did not know in
time to save Tom from the striped
suitings
But one little detail had been ON
tilted in the slaughter of the elder
Logan. A tramp had been permitted
to hide just over the fence, and in
after years he turns up, very much
TO the confusion of Fred and Mrs
Logan. who it appeared from the play

GAN WELL HANDLE
VAST CROWDS
Savannah Has Arranged for
Many Visitors

SAVANNAH, GA, Nov. Is. (Spe.
ciaD-Mr. Robert Lee Morrell. chair
man of the contest committee of the
Automobile Club of America, on his
arrival from New York, said that in
his opinion 100000 people would wit
ness the Grand Prize race on Thanks
giving.
Since the news that such large
crowds would visit Savannah for the
races has been published over the
country an impression that Savan-
nah could not handle the people has
been left. This is erroneous. Two
months ago the people of Savannah
began to offer their homes to accom-
modate the visitors and since the
Bureau of Information has been
opened at the Union Station those in
charge have been flooded with offers
OF rooms and eating places. They
are all offered at reasonable rates.
The Bureau Of Information has
list of all homes that have been Of
fered and all people who have stated
they would furnish meals TO the
visitors SO anyone applying to that
Office Immediately on arrival will be
furnished with a place The rail-
roads have all made provisions for
handling large crowds so there will
be no inconvenience experienced by
visitors from these sources.
At the course every detail for
handling the crowds has been per-
fected Those who have grandstand
seats. and there are some seats left,
will be taken care of by large
corps of ushers and plenty of park
ing space for machines has been pro-
vided.
