Interesting PROGRAM HAS
Been ARRANGED FOR OCCASION
Many Interesting Questions Will Be
Discussed, including Child Labor
Law and Amendment to the Con-
stitution.

The eighth annual convention Of the
order of Kings Daughters and Sons |
will meet in Hattiesburg next Tues
day, continuing through three days, |
and the Whatsoever Circle" has ex-
tended cordial invitation to delegates
to become their guests during this

extended by them: 1.-THE honorable
mayor and board of aldermen, all city
and county officers, all fraternal or
ders, the different churches and
church societies, also the general pub

sessions of the Kings Daughters con-
vention to be held at the First Baptist
Church, May 1914, 1908. The good
work done towards the relief of the
storm sufferers in our vicinity is but
one of their many beneficiencies. ANY
thing, however simple, that brightens
even an hour of another's life, that re-
lieves pain or poverty, or sickness or
distress. that makes the world a hap
pier place to live in, that teaches
others to know more and, especially,
to love more-that is the orders
work"
Probably the most interesting mat

curlous EIshIna Methods.

The natives living along the Pan
Lung river have an odd method of
fishing. Two dugout boats are used.
each about 80 feet long, with two men
with long poles, one in the bow, the
other at the stern, punting the boat
along. They stretch long rope made
Of bamboo and plated grass, about a
hundred yards long, and weighted
about every ten yards with big stones.
This they let down into the water. and
the fish are frightened toward the
bank. The divers then jump in three
at time. remaining down about 20
seconds. They carry gaffs about 1S
inches long, with cords attached.
When they strike fish they let go the
gaff and the fish is hauled up into the
boat. A big fire is lighted ON the river
bank for the men to warm themselves.

Proposed Currency Legislation 10 De
Made Administration Measure.
Every effort win be made by President
Roosevelt to obtain the passage of the
currency bill introduced BY Representa-
tive Yreeland. of New York.
That this is an administration measure
is now admitted, and the admission marks
a change of attitude on the part of the
President toward the Aldrieh bill, to
which ne had been virtually committed.
The VreeIand bill Is unsatisfactory in
some respects. With the sanction Of the
White House, amendments viii be pro-
posed to reduce from 100000 to 5000. coo
the amount of capital of clearinghouse
associations authorized by the bill to
issue currency based on commercial paper
and reducing the tax ON emergency circu-

To put through the Vreeland bill with
the addition Of a provision for the crea-
ton Of a currency commission is the
plan CT the administration in conjunction
with certain Republican members of the
House The President, Il IS said. is hope
full that the bill may be amended further
by attaching to It a measure for the
creation of a postal savings bank system.
