Long Distance ZSlSbh0ne Line
TO Jackson is Early Possibility:
Home Company Behind M0ue

There is good reason for believing
that Hattiesburg will, before a great
while, be connected with Jackson by a
direct telephone line and it won't be
by the Cumberland Company, either.
The Home telephone people expect
to get busy at an early day and put
in a local exchange at Jackson, and
then it is their purpose to bring the
line to Hattiesburg, connecting with all
the important points between the two
places along the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad. What is more, the COM
pany will also connect with their Me-
ridian exchange, and as there is an
independent line from Greenwood to
Memphis it is more than likely con-
nection will be formed between the

CENTRAL WAREHOUSES;
MAY Be BUILT There
Cotton Bagging Question Is Still Both
eHns the Farmers-No Low Grade
Cotton Now From Which to Make
the New Wrappings.
Daily New Special.

Oally New Speclal.
Jackson. Miss, September 4.-State
officials of the Farmers Union with
whom the subject has been discussed
here take no stock in the proposition
of State Lecturer Brawshaw to move
the state headquarters from this city
to Gulfport. Here is the proper place
for the main offices, said one of the
leading officials today, and there can
be no good reason for moving them to
Gulfport or anywhere else.
He thinks that if Gulfport succeeds
in getting proper recognition as a
port of entry, with freight rates ad-
justed on that basis, the proposition to
establish their storage warehouse and
cotton yards there might be a good
idea when the plans have advanced
sufficiently far to justify it, but the
\ removal of the general offices would
be a mistake
1t is stated that the system for con-
meeting up the chain of cotton ware
houses belonging to union members
In the state, so as to place the entire,
number, almost one hundred, prac-
tically under one management, with a
uniform warehouse receipt and ac-
counting system, is about complete
and will be ready for operation when
the cotton season really opens UP in
earnest.
There is still good deal of disagree
ment of sentiment among the men,
bers of the unon as well as of the
state executive board, as to whether
it would be wise to discontinue the Of
fee of the state business agent. This
office was recently vacated by the res
ignation of Mr.. w. w. Welch. and is
being filled temporarily by Mr.. ]. L.
Collins, a member of the executive
board. It has been understood that
he would probably wind up the af-
fairs of the office, closing out such con-
tracts as are under way or in effect.
and that when it is practicable it will
be dropped altogether.
The cotton bagging question is one
which is bothering the officials a good
deal. That which they can procure at
Wesson costs more than it ought to,
because it is made of middling cotton
instead of the low grade out of which
1t is proposed to make it, and it will
be impossible to get the low grade
until it is ginned, which will be too
late, obviously, to use it for wrapping
this seasons crop.

cause of the scarcity of money and the
timidity of capital during the 'rich

done towards the Inauguration of the
system. However, Mr.. D. N. Smith,
the promoter of the company, has now
returned to Jackson and gives positive
assurance that he has the money Sc

will begin within the next month.
While he is building the local line and
the exchange here he will also con.

There has been a good deal of ap-
