accusation of well-meaning but hateful
charity, stand as permanent monu-
ments to the financier who solved the
problem of helping his less fortunate
brothers without doing violence to their
self-respect.
Mr. Mills first saw the light Of day
in Westchester county. New York, on
September 25, 1926. He was one OF
the California '49ers and it was in the
golden state that he laid the fOunda-
tions Of his great fortune. In 1880 ne
invaded the metropolis, and in this city
repeated on a large scale the successes
that made his name a power in finan-
cial circles and enabled him to realize
the dream of his life in establishing the
Mills hotels.
Although some of his friends scoffed
at the idea when Mr.. Mills established
the first of his popular-priced hotels,
the hOstelry was success from the
beginning From the first it was self
sustaining, even paying a small profit
on the investment, but what was more
important in the eyes of the founder, 1t
solved, at least in part, -the problem
of how to benefit a class Of needy hu-
manity which has been neglected sadly.
In a great city there are many men
who cannot earn more than IS or $6 a
week, and it Is for such unfortunates
who through various circumstances md
themselves unable to do better that
the Mills hotels have been established.
It is not especially to the point to
ask why this is so-Why is it that so
many men of correct habits are SO IN
capable of getting on in the world.
Some of them lack force. Some or
them are men who have obtained a
college degree, but are destitute of
practical viewpoint. They are quite
as sensitive as the rest Of their fei-
lows. and Mr.. Mills took that fact into
consideration. 1t is that one tnlns
that makes this unique charity-char-
ity in a nobler and more dlgnlfed sense
than mere giving-sO attractive and SO
successful.
Twenty cents for room. cents fof
breakfast, Is cents for a dinner IN
courses, cents for supper-this Is the
nroposition that Mr.. Mills made pos
chile for a. man whose depleted purse
makes it necessary for him to restrict
his daily expenditure TO the half dol
lar limit. To the man who can afford
to pay $40 day for a room at one OF
New York's palatial hotels all this Is
absurdity. To him the Mills hotei
means no more than free soup house
or the quarterly report of a slum mis-
sion This is the man who, If he ever
speaks of it, will call it a great phil
anthropy" and let it go at that.
Hotels No. 1 and No. represent
canital of $1,000, 900 and pay per cent
on the investment. The great new
hotel opened recently cost s1'4oo,ooo'
and Yields a similar income. Their
owner declared that in providing them
he has been actuated by only two mo-
tiyes-first, to conduct them on
ctrictIv business basis, and second, 10

fortunate man without either pauper-
izing or humiliating him.

THE LAW OF LIABILITY.

The railroad bill of lading is now
the main cause of contention between
the roads and the shippers. On this
subject the New York Journal of Com
merce says:
There seems likely to be a general
acquescence in the adoption of the
uniform bill of lading by most of the
railroads of the country on the first
of November, but the agitation for
uniform laws relating to carriers liza
bility will not cease. The National In
dustrial Traffic League not long ago
declared in favor of what is called the
''clean bill of lading." and has accept
ed the railroads bill under protest.
This indicates disposition to contest
its effect. and there will probably be
formal complaints from time to time.

GULFPoRT'S BIG DAY

This big day for Gulfport. In fact,
it is big day for all South Missis-
sippi.
AT the noon hour, amid the rousing
cheers of a great throng of people. the
first ship load of cotton left that port
for Liverpool.
The harbor at Gulfport is not new.
For several years it has been the
largest lumber shipping point on the
Gulf of Mexico, and the largest vessels
ahoat have weighed anchor in it's
harbor.
Excessive freight charges on the
railroads have prevented the develop
ment of the cotton shipping industry,
thus greatly retarding the develop
ment of the port and the territory
contiguous thereto, embracing the
larger portion of South Mississippi.
These rates have recently been
equalized in the courts and the rail.
roads have submitted under protest.
The News believes that this marks a
new and prosperous era for Gulfport
and that it will aid materiallysin de-
Ieloping the latent resources of the

the country to spend the holidays. Mr..
Swain came on to Hattiesburg with
his four special cars to make final
arrangements for the winter and to
close contract with a local foundry
for putting his equipment in shape for
the new season. His private car and
the company sleeping car will be re-
built and reprinted
Since leaving Hattiesburg last
spring Mr.. Swain says that the show
has travelled 1000 miles of railroad,
and the season has been the most
successful in its history In Tennes-
see and Kentucky the show was feat
ured as the night attraction at the
great state fairs furnishing the music
during the day and playing to packed
tents at nights
1t is Mr.. SWANS intention to greatly
enlarge the show for next season. The
members of the company will return
to Hattiesburg early in February for
rehearsal. They will remain here un-
til early spring, when the new season
begins.
Mr.. w. I. Swain, the head of the
show, is a Kentuckian and leaves to-
morrow for that state to spend the
holidays. He is a successful live
stock breeder and has large interests
in his native state. Personally, he is
a pleasant and affable gentleman. For
many years his company played the
best opera houses, but the theatre
trust became distasteful to him and he
decided TO provide his own theatre.
The gigantic tented amusement enter
prise which has resulted is a splendid
testimonial to his business ability and
thorough knowledge of the show bust
ness.
Hattiesburg will profit largely by
|, the location of the winter headquart-
ers of the show, and our citizens will
doubtless make it to Mr.. SWANS in
terest to return each winter.
