teen months. The company has just
received an order for two immense
pieces of gearing from the Mt. Olive
Compress and the patterns for these
are now being made. This kind of
work could hardly have been under
taken at any other place in the state,
but the Watkins Company will have
no difficulty in turning it out.
Besides this the Watkins Company
has recently repaired an immense
number of box cars for the Northeast
ern and has still others to repair.
The people of Hattiesburg will re-
joice at these substantial indications
of returning prosperity, and in this
connection it may be said that the
Watkins Foundry and Machine Com
pany is one of the institutions of the
city that the people ought to appre-
ciate. 1t is giving employment to
large number of hands and does not
ask any concessions from the people
or from the city. The manager, Mr.. T.
o. Watkins is booster and has I'M
limited faith in the future growth and
prosperity of Hattiesburg. 1t is good
news that this enterprise is prosper
ing, and it would be a great thing If
the city had other industries that
would do as much for the city as the
Watkins Foundry and Machine Com
pany.

One of the busiest places in Hat
tiesburg is the Watkins Foundry and
Machine shops.
A few months ago this mammoth en-
terprise was working with about half
a dozen hands. Now between forty
and fifty workmen are employed and
are kept hustling to turn out the large
amount of work that is being re-
ceived.
Another thing about the revival of
business at the Watkins shops. is that
it indicates a general revival of bus
mess throughout this entire section
of the state.
For instance, the lumber mills are
sending in a great deal of machinery
to be repaired. Just this week engines
have been received from the Ten Mile
Lumber Company and from the c. w.
Robinson Lumber Company of Nichol-
son to be rebuilt and in addition to
this several other lumber concerns
have sent in machinery to be over
hauled and repaired.
This means that the lumber mills
are getting ready for business.

that it had not been better for eigh-

To Learn that Structure
Will Be Delayed.


In the absence Of President Knots.
Trustees Caldwell and Sears held a
meeting yesterday afternoon In the city

portance was accomplished aside from
the submitting Of the plans for the
new city hall. which was done by the
city engineer, A P. Melton. The plans
were drawn up by Architect f. o. Hud-
son.
The statement was made by Trustee
Caldwell that the new city hall, for
which an appropriation of $4,000 was
made, that the new city hall would not
be constructed this year. He said that
1T would be impossible to get in the
foundation this winer and that he did
not think that the building would be
started at all. This will be a great
disappointment to the police who have
contended with their converted cottage

also be disappointed to learn that they
will not be able to spend the winter

TAFTS TRAIN WRECKED

Sterling, o., Oct. 13.-Candidate Taft's
special train, on which he was touring
Ohio, was wrecked today at this point
Mr.. Taft was knocked from his seat
when the coach in which he was rid
ing bumped along the ties for fifty
feet.
The mishap might have been a serious
one If the train had been going at
more rapid speed. Two of the coaches
in the train left the tracks and it was
fully a half hour before they were
again placed on the rails. Mr.. Taft was
seated in the second passenger coach
and when it bumped along the ties he
was Jared from his seat but was I'M
injured. when the first shock had pass
ed, ran to Mr.. Tafts aid. He picked
himself up. however. and declared he
was unhurt
Mr.. Taft, as soon as he saw he
was not needed, proceeded on foot to
the place in the village provided for
his speech AT this place.
This is the first mishap the candi-
date has met with in all his travels. !

IS ON A FORTUNE TRAIL
Worker Among Gary and
East Chicago Foreigners
Strikes Bonanza.

T. Leon Gould, the man who was
organize the foreigners of this dis
trict into republican clubs and who has
done good work at Gary and East Chi
cago, is now on the TRAN of fortune
Mr. could is a lawyer. and the follow
ing article will give an idea of the
manner in which Mr.. Gould proposes
to land fortune for his clients and
himself:
South Bend Ind. Oct 12.-L Leon
Gould of indianapolis came to South
Bend today to collect evidence with a
view of filing suit for possession of ten
acres of valuable land in walkerville,
Canada. He is representing Mrs. Jo-
seph Labadie of South Bend, and ex-
poets to be acting for the entire list
of Labadie heirs, eleven in all, who are
residents of Indiana, Michigan and CAL
ifornia. The story runs back fully
fifty years to the time when the ten
acres, which are now in WaIkerviIle,
but which are now farming lands, had
but one building, a log house, after
ward used as a tavern.
Louis Des Compile Labadie bought
the ten acres from Anthony La Grave
and was induced, in order to provide
for his children, to take a deed SO
framed that he had only a life interest
in the property. which upon his death
would be divided among the children.
Some years afterward C. f. Iabadie, an
inland revenue collector in Windsor.
bought the property from his father
and sold it to Hiram Walker. The
clause in the deed excited some discus
sion. and it is said Mr.. Walker held

back $3.50 of the purchase price in or
der to defray the expense of any liti-
cation that might be started by the
heirs.
Relatives in Detroit started an in
vestigation about twenty years ago, but
took no final action. attorneys stating
the heirs were suspicious of each other.
The present movement is thought to
be concerted action.
The Walker distilling warehouses
and offices are now on the site The
property which was not worth much
at the time it was sold. is worth more
than 100000 now.
