IS firmly attached to the bed of the

from 20 to 30 feet long. The kelp is

man from contact with live wire is to
remove the wire. This Is a dangerous
thing to do and the men are taught
how to do it in simple way. A coat

rule. The men are taught to remove

IN THE GOOD WORKS
THE GOOD WOMEN LEAD.

After all it is the women who work
the great reforms in the world, The
men take the credit and do the loud
talking but when you get right down
to the facts, you will find that the
real movement was started by a wo-
man and that the success of it de-
pended upon the women.
The world may not look with favor
upon the women who want to vote:
who go about urging suffrage for wo-
men because the men are unworthy of
it, but the world takes off its hat to
the woman who starts something in
the way of a great reform and then
forces the men to put it through, and
the women who do these things do
them neatly, so quietly, so gently that
the foolish men do not realize until
later that the credit for the work is
due to a woman.
The time has come in this country
that every charitable, every educa-
tioal, every religious movement of
Importance has for its strongest work
ers and most earnest supporters the
good women of the land.
They who do these things do not
go about shouting or holding street
meetings. or running political parties,
but they work quietly, earnestly and
exert an influence which compels the
men to do their bidding.
The result is the working of a re-
form, the. starting of some great
benevolence or the inaugurating of
some church or charitable movement
which the men had not thought about
before. The women of this century
are not less queens in the homes. but
their power has been broadened and
their empire expanded.

THAT MASS MEETING.

The most representative gathering
which has assembled in Hattiesburg
for long time was the mass meeting
of lumbermen, merchants, bankers and
business men at the Auditorium last
Saturday night, when a vigoruos pro
test was made against the proposed
repeal of the 50 tariff on Canadian
lumber
Another mass meeting is to be held
Friday night of this week, when the
committees appointed Saturday night
will make their reports and commit
tee of four or five representative cit.
zens will probably be sent to Wash.
ington to try and inject some en-
thusiasm into the Mississippi members
OF Congress.
AS explained by President Wilder of
the Mississippi Pine Association, the
repeal of the tariff on Canadian lum-
Der will not effect the high grades
produced in this section, which are al
ready being sold in Canada in com
petition with the best product of that
country. High-grade lumber is scarce
and the demand for it is such that it
will take care of itself. But the re-
peal of the Canadian duty would en-
able that country to flood the North,
and Central West with its low grades
produced with cheap labor, and the
mill men of South Mississippi could
then only cut low-grade timber for
home consumption. AS the result of
such conditions. the mills would take
