in the milk generally sold here and
in the regular water supply furnished
by the city.
New Orleans and other cities have
found food inspection profitable. 1t
has been sufficiently demonstrated
that typhoid, tuberculosis and other
maladies are communicated through
impure foods, and particularly in I'M
wholesome and impure milk supplies.
Some of the markets of Hattiesburg
may be sanitary. Some of the meats
may be excellent. A few of the milk
men may be honest. These will not
object to rigid inspection of the foods
which they offer for sale.
Public health is valuable consid-
Grafton.
Nobody should be allowed to endan-
ger it, Intentionally or otherwise.
A milk and meat inspector could be
employed without large expense-and
the personal satisfaction that we
would feel in the knowledge that we
were not swallowing deadly disease
germs would alone compensate us for
our individual share of the public bur-
den

not had the opportunity of studying
the situation as he has.
When asked who, in his opinion, the
Republican nominee would be, he said
1t would be Taft, but he had no idea
who the Republicans would nominate
for the vice presidency.
He was of the opinion that Bryan
would stand better chance of cleo
ton this year than he had ever stood.
He said that the labor vote was I'M
friendly to Taft He thought Demo
cratic prospects were good.
The senator was asked about the
advisability of putting Southern man
on the ticket with Bryan. He said
that he doubted the wisdom of such a
movement and thought that man
should be put on the ticket who would
add strength to the ticket in the places
where it was needed. He thought that
John Mitchell would be good man
for second place, but was of the opin-
ion that Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota,
would add more strength to the ticket
than any other man. He thought
Johnson had strong pull with the
Scandinavian vote.
Senator McLaurin is looking well
and carries the same hearty hand
shake that naturally belongs to the
McLaurin family.

Willie Davis, my son, the 15-year-old
boy who jumped from train No. 5, on
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad on
May 3, at Mammoth Springs, is
thought to be out of danger. l am
very thankful to the railroad company
for having him properly cared for.
admit that the boy was responsible for
jumping from the train, but am not
thankful to the conductor who was
so negligent as not to know who was
on his train and their destination.
And when the boy informed the flag
man that he wanted to get off at Mani
moth there was no effort made to stop
the train, so he made his leap and
narrowly escaped with his life. I am
indeed thankful to the skilled physi
clans and those kind nurses at the
Hattiesburg Hospital for their mos
kind treatment and close attention
Also to all others who gave assist

MINING, Markets AND METAL
EAGER BUYERS
OF COPPER, SAYS RYAN
Demand Around 13 Cents Pictured to
Be Stronger Than Gener-
ally Known.

John d. Ryan, general manager of
the Amalgamated Copper company.
in an interview with a representative
of the New York Commercial, states
that the salvation of the copper in
dustry from the present depression
In the market in this country lay in
the demand for export purposes. that
has been in evidence in this city since
copper has been selling at 13 cents.
1T seems beyond comprehension"
said Mr.. Ryan, what they are doing
with the copper, but IL is fact that
Europeans have been buying large
lots ever since the metal broke in
price last October"
Il am assured" continued Mr..
Ryan, from authentic sources that
we can depend upon the foreign mar
ket taking most of our copper around
present prices and the inquiry from
that source around quoted prices Is
much better than is generally sup
posed. Statistics show that the Eu-
ropeans are always large buyers OF
American copper during a slump and
as result they manage to secure
cheap metal, whereas Americans
come in as buyers at higher prices.
Mr.. Ryan, speaking of the Anal
gamated Copper company, said that
no specific date had yet been set for
the opening of the Butte mines.
