GOOD PATRONAGE

Circulation of the Paper Now Double

Without especial effort on the part
of the advertising manager, and with
out special inducement or occasion.
this issue of the News contains fifty
local advertising-the largest volume
of business carried by Hattiesburg
newspaper since the advent of the fl
nancial panic early last fall
This enormous volume proves in the
first place that business conditions are
rapidly reviving in Hattiesburg. In the
second place it indicates clearly the
growing popularity of the News as
medium through which to reach the
trade-territory.
The News now goes daily into twice
as many homes as any other newspa-
iper in this territory. 1t has a larger
city circulation than it has ever en-
joyed before. but the most remarkable
increase has been in the small towns
in the Hattiesburg territory. The News
now mails at the Hattiesburg postof-
flee five times as many copies as any
other publication. The 2:30 o'clock
edition reaches Sumrall, Prentss, Sill
yer Creek and other towns along the
Mississippi Central Railroad almost as
soon as it does the regular city pat
rons. The late AFTERNOON edition goes
out on the Gulf and Ship Island, where
the paper has large lists at Collins,
Seminary, Mt. Olive. Mendenhall Nc
Laurin, Virgins and other towns.
Good lists are also being built up at
Lumberton, Eastabutchie, Moselle,

PATRONS ENTITLED TO
SUBSTANTIAL REBATE
Opinion Is That the Council Should
Have Ordered the Telephone Com
pany to Make Restitution or to For
felt Its Franchise.

There has been some critism of the
city council for it's failure to take some
decisive action at its meeting Tuesday
night. relative to the Cumberland Tel
ephone Company.
The mere report of the committee
and its order that it be spread upon
the minutes and the statement that
individual action could be brought has
caused some comment.
1t was known before the committee
reported that this could be done. Like
the katydid, it can be said of the re-
port:
Thou sayst an undisputed thing"
But the adoption of the report said
virtually. if you want anything done
TO the Cumberland, do it yourself.
Probably the council really didn't
mean exactly this, but the people ex-
pected the council to do something.
According to the report OF the f.
nance committee. the Cumberland did
not have 500 subscribers in October
and March
If this is correct, the council should
have ordered the Cumberland to have
refunded all amounts. at least for these
two months, to those from whom a pay
ment was received for over so for
residence phones and over $3.50 for
business phones, on the penalty of a
forfeiture of their franchise, which the
company had violated.
A short time ago the Cumberland
had man here who went to different
places and tried to have Home tele-
phones taken out and Cumberland put
in. 1t is not denied that the company
has a right to solicit subscribers, but
if the truth was known, it was quite
likely they were preparing for an inves>
tigation and making an effort to reach
500.
1t is an open secret that the people
expected more from the council. which
could at least have demanded that
money be refunded for overcharges for
October and March-the months the
committee states that they found less
than 500 telephones in use.
1t is a general belief that the council
should take this matter up themselves
|and not force individuals to do so.
Surely the council is not afraid to
tackle" this corporation after advising
the people to do so?
The council may never act in this
matter, but if not, the members will
show less backbone than people give
them credit for having
OF course the $50 phones in the
rooms of the Hotel Hattiesburg and
operated through the hotel exchange
cannot be counted, and the city coun
Gil appeared to entertain this belief.
