Domestic Science.


The Domestic Science department
of the State Normal school is en-
deavoring to meet the increasing de
mand for teachers, trained in this
special line of work
All students completing the two
years course receive the Domestic
Science diploma. Many graduating
from the regular course also take
short courses either in cookery and
food study, or in sewing. This year
the graduating class is larger than
in any previous year. while Judging
from the number in the present
junior class. the class of '09 bids
fair to outnumber all previous
classes.

Governor Noel.
Latest Message.

Governor Noel-haS gent another mes
save to the legislature urging the en-
actment of a law compelling reduced
passenger rates on railroads.
In view of the fact that the mes
sage already submitted on this sub
ject has been condemned by the pub
Lie and the press and practically ig-
nored in both branches of the legisla-
ture. the Daily News is surprised at
the Governors persistency.
The experience of other Southern
states that have thus far attempted to
enforce reduced passenger rates has
been anything but satisfactory. Only
yesterday, the press dispatches brought
the information that the Southern
Railway had shut down its shops at At
lanta and Selma, thus depriving more
than 200 men of a means OF hveii
hood, and the newspapers of Alabama
and Georgia tell us that railroad de
velopment in those states has ceased
entirely.
Can't the Governor of Mississippi
see the ubiquitous effect or his con
tinual harping against the railroads?
Is he so dull of comprehension thai
he fails to realize the fact that botf
branches of the legislature are op
posed to thet reopening of this rate
question?
Some of his political friends ought
to at least whisper something in his
ear.

reducing the salaries of the police
and firemen.
The charges of extravaganza against
the present city administration was
condemned.
And right here the Daily News will
say that If the council has been ex-
travagant 1t has been so in the way
of public improvements.
Who asked, even demanded, these
improvements?
The people-even some who are
complaining now.
OF course, the council will have
to curtail these improvements. No
one knows this better than the coun-
cilmen themselves.
1t is doubtful if public improvements,
ever constitute extravaganza, if the
money is judiciously expended.
There is no charge of grating
against the present city officials.
Hence there does not appear to be
any occasion for a great hue and cry,
for the salary question has already
been settled and in a reasonable
and just way.
The Daily News is not defending
the board If they have been guilty
of any very great wrong, this paper
would be the first to expose them, if in
possession of actual facts.
But if errors of judgment have been
made and if this is the only charge
that can be made then it can be truth

Look Pleasant Please.
Let us be just

There are some pessimists in Hat
tiesburg.
Unfortunately they are to be found
in every city.
Just now there are some pessimists
for political reasons only.
This is not right and is really dis
graceful.
Times are not quite as flush in Hat
tiesburg as they were year ago.
This is admitted.
But what's the use of wearing a
long face about it?
This city is still the best ever and
it is not going to the deminition bow
vows.
1t has a glorious future before it.
Practically the same resources are
here that were here a year ago.
There is enough pine timber in the
Hattiesburg district to run the saw
mills at full capacity for many years.
Some say as long as twenty years.
And the cut over lands are being de-
veloped.
The articles that have been pub
lished in this paper from time to time
from Messrs. Hearn, Hall and others
show that this section has bright fu-
ture in an agricultural way.
And yet
There are some people who are
greater calamity fiowlers" than the
Populists were in their palmiest days.

If anyone is bowling because he
wants this man defeated for an office

at home and abroad.
Already the financial skies are

Hattiesburg is all right 1t is the

AS the photographer says, "look

Remember that when you smile the

Every man, woman and child who
lives in Hattiesburg should be a
booster"
This city is not going to stop grow

Not bit of it.
1t may not grow so rapidly as il
has done in the past two or three
years, but who expected it to do this
Had the same ratio been kept up
Hattiesburg would have been larger
than New Orleans in twenty years.
But there will be a gradual growth
all the time.
This city cannot retrograde. 1t is
backed by too many interests and has
i too much capital invested.
