last night when Mr.. J. A. Hearn sat
down after making his first speech
Mr.. Hearn was down to represent the
farmers, one of whom he said he was.
He told the visitors that Hattiesburg
had built them a railroad-that the
road could easily have been taken
anywhere else, but that Hattiesburg
had finally decided to let them have
It; after going as far as Brookhayen
and stopping for while. He spoke
of the agricultural resources of this
section and he told the visitors that
this section" meant Hattiesbu.g,
which was the metropolis. Mr.. Hearn
was cheered to the echo and after long
continued cheering he arose and said
that when SO much cheering went on
in a theater, it meant that they wanted
some one to come back. He spoke
better on the installment plan any
way. After some humorous remarks.
Mr.. Hearn took his seat amid the
cheers of the audience.
This morning the visitors we're
driven over the city and were sur
prised and delighted at what the;
saw.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the spe al
train pulled out on the return trip
and all of the visitors expressed their
delight over their trip and the enter
ta'nment afforded them.
The special edition of the Natcnez
democrat, which was a beauty, was

Business Outlook.

Fisk x Robiu-on's Monthly Bulle-
tin OF Investments for June is before
us, and the message which it brings
is one of the most inspiring which
it has been our pleasure to peruse in
rlany days.
This review begins with bank clear
ings, an unfailing index to business
conditions, and the increase during
the past several weeks has been
scarcely less than phenomenal
Iron, lumber and other staple COM
modities have advanced perceptibly.
Railroad earnings have not in
creased materially, but railroad
stocks and securities have advanced
steadily and new bonds to the value
OF many millions of dollars have been
placed for extensions and better
ments.
Attention is directed to the fact
that the present crop prospect is ex-
cellent and that not less than $1,000
O00, 900 will be turned into the chan
nels of trade from this source before
the end of the year.
The fact is made pltin hat the coun-
try has emerged from the panic and
that general business conditions are
sounder than at any time within re-
cent years.
This section of Mississippi has felt
the revival very little thus far per
haps for the reason that the rest Of
the country has not ;eached that ad-
vanced stage when building opera
lions demand large quantities of lam-
bel. But South Mississippians know
that this condition is soon to be re-
allied. The railroads are preparing
to resume extensions and betterments.
Mills and factories are running again.
Other lines are prosperous. And the
revival of build ng, with heavy de-
mand for lumber, is only matter of
days
The News sees nothing but good in
the future of Hattiesburg and the rich
ana resourceful territory tributary to
the place.

ENCOUNTER
Between TWO FISHERMEN

Carolina to this place with a man
by the name of OFT, who had prom
ised to marry her; that OFT got into
some trouble and upon his release he
and she joined the Salvation Army,
but that OFT left without keeping his
promise to marry her and that she
then went to live with the Goodmans
and stayed with them until about two
months ago and then went to PARIS
boat. She says she left there few
days ago and went to Petal to live.
Parr had been for some time claim
ing special fishing privileges on Leaf
River. He was asked this morning
from whom he derived this power. He
said about ten years ago he was ap-
pointed to the civil service by the
United States government. Asked if
he meant secret service by this, he
said he meant "civil' service, and
that this put him in charge of the
river within certain scope.
Just what power the civil service
would have over the fisheries of the
United States, Parr did not attempt
to say, though he said he still thought
he had jurisdiction. or special priv
leges.
1t is not believed among the citi,
zens here that Parr has the fishing
privilege that he claims. He will have
to present some tangible proof before
this proposition will be made clear to
the people, as claimed by him.
While Goodman is not much hurt
it is probable that Parr will have a
preliminary hearing tomorrow.

Somewhat of sensation was cre-
ated in the city last night by the re-
port that white man had been shot
ard killed near the Northeastern rail-
road bridge across Leaf River.
The man was shot, but the wound
was not serious.
NJ. d. Parr who operates fishing
boat near this bridge, came to the
sheriff's office last night about g.
O'Clock and said that he had shot and
killed a man by the name of L. A.
Goodman at his boat near the bridge
and that he desired to give himself
up.
Soon after being placed in Jail Parr
told News reporter that he was sat
isfied the man was dead. He said that
Goodman, who also operates a fish.
ing boat near the Bouie bridge, had
come to his boat and told him that he
was going to kill him. Parr said that
Goodman hit him with paddle sew
eral times and followed him into his
kitchen with the avowed purpose of
killing him, and that he asked Good
man to desist, but that he kept hitting
him with the paddle declaring that he
intended to kill him. Parr says he
thereupon took up 1-Derringer pistol
ard fired at Goodman. and that when
he left Goodman was lying across a
log and that his voice was growing
fainter as he left him. and he thought
the man would be dead by the time the
officers got to him.
The ambulance was sent out for
the wounded man, but he refused to
leave his boat He was not badly
wounded-a flesh wound being made
above the groins, from which he. will
soon recover.
Parr was asked last night what the
trouble occurred about and he said
that Goodman probably thought that
he had reported to the grand jury
that Goodman was not legally married
to the woman with whom he was liv-
ing.
People in the city who have known
Goodman do not believe that he is
living wrongly with woman, but that
she is his wife.
1t appears from what can be gath
cred that the trouble was about wo-
man. Parr had living with him until
recently woman whom he calls Mrs.
Pell-that is, she was staying on the
house boat with Parr He says he
took her in after she had been made
to leave the Goodman boat The wo-
man says her real name is Mrs. Cha
vers and that she came from South

Hardys dream had been more than
realized. The Mississippi Central had
connected the old and the modern. He
wanted the people of Hattiesburg to
come over to Natchez and see their
city-not that he thought they would

he wanted them to see their parks,

HThe Mississippi Central"
Mr.. b. X. Smith was called on to re-
spond to the toast to the Mississippi
Central and he made some very in
teresting remarks. He stated that the
road had been built by money that
came from without the state, though it
was state road-began and ended in
Mississippi. In return for this expen-

ways treat the road kindly and give it
their support and patronage. He
thought it was better than any new
road in the country.
