J. A. Hearn.
Mr.. j. A. Hearn was called upon TO
represent the farmers and said many
bright, witty and sensible things. He
said it was question not OF taxation,
but of bread and butter. Saw mills
paid for broken legs, but the farmer
didn't get any pay when he had a
limb broken. One when. he was cm-
ployed on a farm and was plowing a
new ground, the plow flew up and
broke his leg, but he didn't get any
pay for it.
Other Speeches.
There were several other very inter
esting speeches made, all practically
on the same line, and all favoring an
exemption. The vote was then taken
on the resolution, petitioning the
board to grant the exemption and i
was passed by unanimous rising
vote.

Capt. J. p. Carter.

Capt. Carter made an earnest appeal
to the citizens to wsrk together. This
was what had made Hattiesburg in
the past, pulling together on all lines.
He indorsed what Dr. Donald had said
that all new institutions that gave em
ployment to the people should be ex-
empt from taxation BY the city for
the period of ten years. He had seen
in, exposition buildings IN Louisiana
great signs on which was written,
Louisiana exempts manufactures for
20 years." We had felt and known
the disaetrous effects on business of
the burning of the mills. He stated
that there were two divisions of the
Newman Company-one favorable to
Hattiesburg for the mill location, and
one favorable to the interests of the
Mississippi Central. That those fa'
voring the railroad interests preferred
to locate out some distance from Hat
tiesburg so that their traffic would be
increased. but that Mr.. Peck, the
president, was very favorable to Hat
tiesburg and with the exemption
would do all he could 20 keep the plant
here.

ternoon was well attended In fact
it may be said that the larger portion
there. All lines of business were
represented and the gathering was
the most representative one ever held
in the city of Hattiesburg, and the
beauty Of it is that the people were
all of one mind. There was not. a
discordant note. All were for
larger and greater Hattiesburg.

by DR.. w. w. Crawford, president of
the Commercial Club. Secretary Lar

ferent speakers and nearly all of them
responded. ~
w. M. Conner.
The first speaker of the occasion
was Mr.. w. M. Conner and he said
ethat it might not be generally known,
but it was nevertheless true that he
WAS about the only man who opposed
the leaving of the Newman Lumbel
Company out of the city limits when
it was first built. After the matter
was settled, in a few years an effort
was made to get the concern inside
the corporate limits ana the corpo,
alton Line was then extended so as
take the plant in. He opposed this
because he thought the city was act
ing in bad faith to undertake to tax
this concern after having induced 1t
to expend a great deal of money un-
der the idea that they would not be
brought back into the city and COM
PEELED to pay taxes. He thought this
Injustice should be righted and he
now heartily favored the proposed ex-
emption; that it would be blessing
to the city and to idle people who
could find no employment.

was asked by Mr.. Hawkins if he had
found. any objections on the part of
the people to the proposed exemption.
He said he had heard only three or
four make objections. Some otheri
we're not opposed, but thought it was
a bluff. He had tried to make it plain
that it was no bluff. 1t would be sui
cidal policy not to exempt the mill
from taxation when it was necessary
to do this in order to get the plant re-
built He said he would go further
and say that it would be a good idea
to let it be known that the city would
exempt all similar institutions from
taxation for the statutory period. He
thought it was time for a broad
guaged policy. The doctors talk
made fine impression on the meet
ing.

he showed a familiarity with card

When he was asked where he Fad

Mr.. Hawkins denied the implied com
