ping point with New Orleans and
Mobile for the export of cotton and
other products, there will be little
difficulty in securing an appropria-
ton of 100000 for a dredge for that
port.
Congressman Bowers is not given
to the making of reckless promises,
but rather possesses the knack of
doing things quietly and effectually,
hence his assurance of an early and
substantial appropriation for further
development of the great Mississippi
seaport will be received with genuine
joy throughout the district.
While the harbor at Gulfport is al
ready one of the best on the Gulf, it
has thus far received very little con-
sideration at the hands of the Federal
government. With half the sum an
nually expended at Mobile or New
Orleans, the harbor at Gulfport can
be made and maintained superior to
either, and The News believes that
it is this realization of the natural
advantages possessed by the harbor
at Gulfport that has aroused the citi-
zens of New Orleans and Mobile
against the Mississippi project.
While the cotton rate question
must yet go through the higher courts,
The News believes that Gulfport will
win out in the end. There is no prin-
ciple of justice by which the Missis-
sippi seaport can be denied the rights
and privileges granted to Louisiana
and Alabama, and the courts will
doubtless take this view of the mat
ter when the case is presented for
final disposition.

phasizes the fact that prices must ad-
vance materially within the next few
years, and that it is poor business
policy to cut valuable timber at little
more than cost of production when
it is only a matter of few years
when the world must have it, no mat
ter what the cost.
The News does not understand the
proposed combine to be in the nature

pears to be an organization of pro-

THE VILLAGE OF LAUREL.

Editor Noble, of the Laurel Chron-
icle, who is also mayor-elect of his
town, is mad clean through-and the
things which he is saying anent the
New Orleans and Northeastern Rail-
road Company wouldn't bear repeating
in polite society. The animus of
Editor Mobiles anger is a new placard
recently nailed up on the side of the
old barn which the railroad company
calls passenger depot on which is
written in bold letters an ordinance
of the VILLAGE OF LAUREL"
Think of it! "Village of LAUREL"
Such an inscription would have been
well enough ten or a dozen years ago,
when Laurel was a lonely habitat out
among the tall pines.
But Laurel has grown amazingly
since then. and the man who now
suggests that less than 10000 souls
dwell within it's sacred precincts had
best first ascertain that he is talk
ing to an Ellisville crowd.
But Laurel isn't the only municipal
step-child on the line of the New
Orleans and Northeastern. Hatties-
burg, for instance, has been woefully
neglected, despite protests and prom
ises galore.
The passenger station or the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad in
Hattiesburg has not only been out
grown since the city emerged from an
antiquated village, but the old hulk
has become a veritable eyesore and
subject of reproach among travelling
men wherever the name of Hatties
burg is mentioned. 1t is not only
unsightly, but filthy-a veritable death
trap. reeking with nauseating, germ
breeding rottenness.
And unless the municipal authorities
take steps to compel the Northeastern
to comply with the order of the rail
road commission and it's frequen
promises to build a new station, whit
knows but that the same officials ma!
soon be posting for the further hu
initiation of our citizens antiquate(
and obsolete ordinances of the an
cient "Village of Hattiesburg?'

"Hattiesburg is properly called the

a News representative yesterday.
DR.. B. G. Lowrey is the president
of the Blue Mountain Female College
and is one of the best educators and
lecturers in the South. He spent yes
terday in Hattiesburg and delivered
two great addresses-one at the Bay
Street Presbyterian Church in the
morning and the other at the Court
Street Methodist Church at night.
He had not visited Hattiesburg for
some time and he was surprised to
find a city of such magnificent pro-
portions.
"Hattiesburg is a fine place" he
said. 1T is city with a future; 1t
is bound TO grow because of its great
resources and especially its splendid
railroad facilities. There is too much
capital and enterprise here, too much
money invested, and too many public
improvements for this city to stop
growing. I am delighted with the

THAT LUMBER COMBINE.

Dispatches from Chicago bring the
information that a great combine has
been formed among leading lumber
men of the country with a view OF
controlling the prices of white pine,
hemlock and yellow pine products, and
that Edward Hines. one of the largest
holders of pine lands in South Missis-
sippi, is at the head of the enter
prise.
This will be good news to the lum-
bermen of the Hattiesburg district
who have long since realized that
lumber prices must advance material
ly before there is a legitimate profit
in the production of yellow pine lum
Der.
According to statistics compiled by
the government, and just made pub
lie. Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas
last year furnished 81 per cent. OF
the total pine production in the United
States. The same bulletin gives fig
ures to show that the great bulk OF
the standing timber of the country
is located in Mississippi. Louisiana
Arkansas and Alabama.

SOME FARMS TOO LARGE.
Farmers Make a Mistake by Trying
to Handle Too Much Acreage.

The story is going the rounds of the
'arm and had three daughters. AS
each got married he gave her a quar-
ter of the farm, or 300 acres, and
put all his stock and all his energies
on the remainder. To his surprise he
found that he made just as much
money on the smaller portion as on
the larger portion. When he had but
300 acres left he found his profits 5
large as they had been on the 1900
acres, and he was being worried a
great deal less.
There are many farms that are too
large. They are too costly to keep
up, and their owners cannot manage
to advantage The larger the farm
the more skillful must the manage
ment be, for the greater will be the
proportion of work that must be done
by others than by the owner. This
is the point at which the big farm
is put to a disadvantage. A hired

There are great many large farms,
says the Farmers Review, that would
be more valuable to the community
il they were broken up into several
farms and were sold to different farm
ers that would live on them and be
contented with owning one farm and
no more. Intensive agriculture must
come more and more into vogue with
the increase of population. but this
should be under individual owners,
rather than under a system of land
lordism In which the owners are resid
ing in the cities and working the land
by proxies.

you CAN HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Black Loan Soil Not a Bar to Hard
Roads, says n. n. Gross.

IL is often urged that hard roads
in the corn belt of the Mississippi val
ley are impracticable, first, for the
reason that stone or gravel roads can.
not be built on the heavy black loan
soil of that section, and, second, be-
rause there is no road material at
hand for this purpose
The fact is there are no difficulties
there that cannot be overcome. Only
one precaution is necessary, and that
is thorough drainage See that the
road Is thoroughly drained, which may
be done either by side-ditching or by
tiling sub-surface drains, and the task
will be an easy one. The layer Of
road material serves as a roof over
the road to keep 1t dry.
AS to road material, though there
are no deposits of stone or gravel In
he corn belt, the land in that section
is exceedingly fertile and produces
.arge revenues, and its owners are
better able to pay road taxes than the
farmers In other parts where the road
material Is at hand and the soil less
fertile. Furthermore, the railroads
are interested in the betterment of the
highways and will carry road mate
rial southwark into the corn belt at
the cost of the service or less. The
southern part of the state furnishes
the northern part with coal-the coal
cars go back empty-why not fill them
with stone or gravel?
The farmers of the corn belt have
still another advantage when It comes
to building hard roads. The land
is comparatively level, so no heavy
grading is necessary. It is true that
hard roads can be built in the corn
belt with material shipped in for half
the cost of roads in Massachusetts
where stone abounds, the difference
being that in Massachusetts, the hills
must be cut down. the hollows filled,
and the streams bridged.-H. II. Gross
