INVENTION
IS UNIQUE
Hattiesburg Man May Have For.
tune IN Self-Lighting
Safety Match Box.

Col H. NJ. King, of this city, has
invented a unique and handy con-
trivance that bids fair to bring him
fame and fortune.
It is an automatic match box that
permits of the use of only one match
at time from the box and this match
comes out lighted. Some so or 100
matches can be placed in the box at
one time and by the pressure of
button, one match is pushed partially
out and when it is pulled entirely out.
it is lighted. Other match boxes
have been invented where Just one
match comes out at a time. but they
ore not lighted by the process.
The new invention of Col. King fur
nishes the matches lighted to the per-
sons wanting to use them and saves
the operation of Striking" them. In
this way it is very useful, but one of
the chief attractions of the newly in
vented match box is that it is great
money saver. These boxes can be
placed in rooms at hotels and the
guests who have occasion to use
matches can only use the number
needed, as they will be worthless after
being lighted unless used at the time.
1t is said that the expenditure for
matches at hotels and restaurants
is considerable-much more than most
people think A great many people
call for matches and reach in the
ordinary box and take a handful and
soon another box must be put out for
use. With the new invention, the
smoker, or user of matches, gets only
what he needs at the time, so it can
readily be seen what a great expense
saver it is.
Col. King has applied for a patent
and it will find a ready sale when
placed puon the market. This is the
unanimous opinion of those who have
seen the model. More than this it is

he earns under ordinary conditions"
And the World might have contin-
ued its interrogations by asking Mr.
Taft to explain why it is so ridiculous
to guarantee bank depositers against
loss by the plan proposed by Mr.
Bryan. when it is so legitimate to
guarantee reasonable profits to
manufacturers.
Where do the consumers come in
under this Republican innovation of
guaranteeing manufacturers profits by
imposing high duties on imports? Be
ing barred from the advantage of for
eign competition, who has guaranteed
to them prices for American products
at home equal to or less than the price
the trusts charge for American
products abroad?
