Need of a Hospital.

A number progressive citizens, in
Guiding several of the city's most
prominent physicians, have asked the
News to urge the necessity Of a char
ity hospital in Hattiesburg.
Such institutions have been estab-
lished in Vicksburg, Meridian and Nat
chez and are supported largely by ap-
preparations from the state.
1t is pointed out that Hattiesburg
is more central location for a charity
hospital than either of the cities
named 1t has better railroad facili-
ties and would be more accessible to
a larger number of people. And the
fact that railroading and lumber man
ufacturing are the. chief occupations
in this territory, and that both are
hazardous in a measure, emphasizes
more especially the need of such an
institution
Hattiesbuns has two of the best pri.
vate sanitariums in the state, but
neither of them maintain charity
wards.
The local circle of Kings Daughters
has planned the building of a charity
hospital, but thus far have failed
to enlist sufficient capital to provide
the necessary equipment. 1t occurs
to the News, however, that this so
ciety could be used as necleus
for hospital, and that the city and
county might each make a substan
tial appropriation for its establishment
and maintenance.
With a local hospital, supported by
the city and county and individuals
who are charitably inclined, it would
not be difficult to secure state appro
priation.
The effort is iat least worth while
and the News would like to see the
movement launched and pushed to sue
cessful contamination.

Hon. P. K. Mayors, editor of the
Scranton Democrat-Star and a charter

elected treasurer for life, paid Hatties-
burg a pretty compliment just before
his departure. This is what he said:
Il have attended forty-one annual
sessions of the Mississippi Press AS
ISOLATION, held in nearly every town
and city of consequence in the state,
and | want to say that the reception
which the members of the fraternity
received at the hands of the good peo-
pie of Hattiesburg was the most cor

An Exception.

In Prof. F. F. Phillips eloquent ad-
dress before the Mississippi editors
as reported in the News, occurs this
grandiloquent sentence:
"As late as 1890 our virgin forests
of yellow pine timber remained prac-
tically untouched, and the people of
this part of the state meekly bowed
their heads when, in derision, they
were referred to as the cow coun-
Tees"
In a good natured way, l desire to
except to that part of this statement
that seems to imply that the splendid
citizenship of this >part of the state
were ever lacking in self respect, or
that they ever cared continental for
the jeers of i'll hammered and badly
bred persons who lived elsewhere.
If thhere has ever been a more law
abiding and more self-respecting cit
izenship anywhere in the state than
the people of the Cow counties" prior
to 1890, l would like to be informed
Most of the devilment and rascalty
that has been done in these counties
has occurred since 1890, and has not
been done by the fine body of native
citizenship nor by their descendants.
Examine the court records and see.
do not want to be understood
as talking against the many good men
and women who have cast their lot
with our splendid native citizenship
and helped to make 1.-The COW coun
ties" great. 1t is not their fault that a
lot of worthless flatsum drifted in OF
the tide with them.
The leaI ned professors obscurity Of
vision may have been due to an exu
be:ance OF eloquence. However thai
may be, this slight obliquity is pardon
able in view of the general excellence
of his address,
