Big INDUSTRY HAS
MADE PROPOSITION
Meeting of Directors Soon to Be Held
in Scranton, Pa, to Decide Matter
So Vital to the Interests of Hat
tiesburs.

AS stated exclusively in Saturdays
issue of the News, the great Newman
mill plant is to be rebuilt on one con-
dition-that they be exempted from
taxation by the city for the period of
ten years.
1t will be seen by notice pub
lished in this issue Of the paper, that
the Commercial Club will have meet
ing in reference to this matter tomor-
row afternoon at 5 o'clock and that the
citizens of the city are invited to this
meeting.
There is no reason to doubt that the
request of the Newman people will
be granted. This is clearly indicated
by expressions made this morning by
different business men of the city.
It is known that this matter must
be decided at once. An early nesting
of the stockholders is to be held at
Scranton, Pa, to settle the matter and
the people of this city have been as
sured that if the conditions are granted
that the rebuilding of the plant will go
forward at once.
On the other hand, it is stated posi-
pely that the plant will not be rebuilt
hless this condition. is granted. The
Newman people do not shold this out
as threat, but it is well enough for
the people to be advised on the mat
ter.
The Newman plant has done much
to build Hattiesburg. 1t has given EN-.
ployment to hundreds of men who have

thus been enabled to make livelihood
for their families, 1t has thrown an
immense amount of money into the
channels of trade and from what can
be learned there will be no opposition,
Or very little. il any, to the granting
of the exemption.
Speaking of the matter this morning
prominent member of the city coun
Gil said that he was not only in favor
of granting the exemption to the New
man people, but he was in favor of
granting it to any other concern that
will locate here and give employment
to a large number of people. He said
that Jackson always granted these ex-
emptions and so does New Orleans and
many other cities.
Mayor Donald is decidedly of the
opinion that this exemption should be
granted in order to save this great In
dustry to Hattiesburg Several alder
men have been asked about 1t and
they, too, believe that Hattiesburg
cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
While nothing has been said about
it by the Newman people, there is be-
lief that the rebuilding of the plant
means also the establishment OF q
wood pulp plant to make paper.

PRESIDENT CROWDER
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

Ramsey Wharton, the present incum-
bent, will be candidate to succeed
himself, although he declines to say
whether he will or not. 1t is also re-
garded as safe proposition that these
two Will be the only entries.
The platform of Mr.. Crowder con-
sists of two planks: The management
of the city waterworks plant by COM
mission to be created for that pur-
pose; and the paving of more streets
especially the requiring of the street
railway company to pave along their
tracks in certain localities.
Mr.. Wharton, as we'll as majority
of the preserft board of aldermen, take
the opposite side on both these ques-
tions. and otherwise 1t is taken for
granted that the present mayor will
merely stand upon his record in the
race.
Candidates for aldermanic and other
city places ere coming in thick and
fast just now, and the campaign, while
unusnally short, will be very spirited

| have shown that with the SEN
ate under partisan control all
check on party government has
been lost, and, as great corpor-
ate interests dominate the SEN
ate, the situation cannot be
changed so long as the Republi-
can party is in power. 1t is the
duty of men in a free country to
be citizens first and partisans af-
terWard, and the remedy is in
the hands of the people if the
electors are intelligent and de-
serving. The status of the Sen
ate is such that it's political COM
pleXion cannot be changed for
four years, so that the immedi-
ate remedy is to effect changes
in the House and the Preidency.
This done we would have a stu
alton in which a Republican Sen
ate would check a Democratic
House and President, and vice
versa, thus bringing about a ri
valry for good government and
sound enactments which could
not fail to insure to the benefit
Of the whole people. There would
at once arise a healthful contest
in which a Democratic House and
President would seek to promote
and enact such wise measures as
would put the Republican Senate
on the defensive, with the
view of changing the political
complexion of that body four
years hence; while the Republi.
can Senate would be melted tc
discredit the Democratic House
and President in the hope of re.
turning to power.

Democratic party would not en-

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity, Catarrh being con-
