TITLE TO Land

dale county has filed in the Forrest
county chancery court against G. W.

the northwest quarter, section g.
township 4 north of range 10 west,
also described as blocks l and 4 of the
Davis G. Ferguson addition to the
city of Hattiesburg, containing five
acres, more or less.

a series of deeds beginning with a
United States patent issued to w. Fl.
Hardy on May 10, 1882, down to a deed
made by S. ]. Ferguson to Isabel B..
Ferguson, dated December 20. 1907.
Mrs. Ferguson claims that G.. w. Per-
sell aserts ownership by virtue of a
tax deed from J. c. Magruder, tax col

UNNECESSARY FILTH.

There are usually a number OF men
sitting around Hattiesburg who ought
to be more considerate of the public
health and who should see themselves
as others see them. We refer to the
men who sit in front of business
houses, and-pardon the expression
spit all over the side walk. Imagine
what an office would look like if the
occupants had no more pride than that
or what a front gallery would look like
if some of these gallant SWANS were
to call on their lady love and follow
out the habits they indulge in while
sitting in front of the places of bust
ness in Hattiesburg. This is not only
dirty and filthy but it is a menace to
public health and if the practice can
not be broken up any other way the
council should enact an ordinance max
ing splitting on the sidewalk punish
able by a fine. Other cities are pro-
tected in this way and we see no rea-
san why Hattiesburg should not be
as progressive as any other city in
the United States.

PROPERTY ON Pine
SIREETEXCHANGED

An interesting exchange of one
piece of Hathesburg property for an
other between the city of Hattiesburg
and the New Orleans and North
eastern railroad was made on May H.,
1909, and filed for record today in
the office of the chancery clerk.
BY the agreement the railroad COM
pany transfers to the city 700 square
feet of land, forming triangle the
shortest side of which is 241a feet,
running north from a point on the
southern line of Pine street, the other
two sides, one 81 feet long running
northeasterly along the southerly line
of Pine street, where this line meets
the line of the other side of the
triangle of so feet.
The city transfers to the railroad
company GIT square feet of land form
ing a triangle which begins where the
railroad triangle terminates on the
southerly line of Pine street each
long side of the triangle being 90
feet, the base or shorter line of the
triangle being 25.4 feet.
The triangle of land transferred to
the city runs just north of the Gulf
and Ship Island power house for
241s feet and along the south side of
Pine street for 81 feet, the north
line 50 feet of the triangle transferred
by the city is a continuation of the
south side of the railroad triangle
running 81 feet on the south side of
pine street.
The cause of the exchange of the
lands in question was that the city
had paved and taken possession with
out compensation from the railroad
company the triangle of land in Pine
street, the property Of the railroad
company.

what is everybody's business is no
cable to modern conditions. There
is a certain amount of cooperation
necessary, in every modern city to in
sure a healthy growth, that will enable
every line of business to prosper. This
is evidenced by the fact that cities
maintain commercial organizations the
same as they do municipal organiza-
lions, and while every business man
does not see the necessity of helping
sustain them there are always enough
progressive men, in every wide awake
community, who are willing to do
something for the common welfare.

Some of the finest strawberries
of the season are now be-
ing brought into Hattiesburg. This
shows what opportunities there are
here for the man who does truck farm
ing. In the north, the strawbrrie are
gone in about three weeks, while here
they last for four months and they
never have been cheap enough in Hat
tiesburg, that the working man could
afford to buy all he wanted.

Editor News, Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear Sir:-Allow the striking mill
wrights some space for their version or
their controversy with the Filler &
Stowell Co.
First-They were cut to 95c per hour
on the plea that 35c is the prevailing
wage for millwrights. 1t must prevail
in Hattiesburg only. as all the "strik-
ers" have received work elsewhere at
- and SOC per hour
Second-All the working force but
one man quit. Whether this lone man
whom you so euphoniously call the
non-striking part of the force" was
busy at work yesterday or not, we do
not know. We think perhaps that he
was too lonesome to work much
Third-NVe do not know whether Fill
er & Stowell will double their force
of millwrights or not Twice one is
two), but we do know that they can
not get competent men for 35c per
hour Doubtless, Newman's saw and
Ratchet men will have an excellent
chance to be promoted to the posi-
ion Of millwrights, that is those if
hem that will stoop to scab.
Very respectfully,
STRIKING MILLWRIGHT.

Now is a good time to cut the weeds
in front of the house and in the street
as they are tender and can be easily
put out of the way. There is nothing
that makes a house look more unin-
viting than weeds in the front yard
and each individual owes it to him
self to keep the streets in front of
his house clean.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma-
tisn1.

1t is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged I'M
til you have given it a trial. For sale

success Of ReIIanee trucks

Within few days there will be COM
pleted one of the largest garages de-
voted to motor trucks exclusively in
the entire west The building, almost
completed, is for the Pioneer CONNER
cial Automobile company, and the
trucks for which they have the terri
tory of Southern California and Ari-
zona are meeting with the most pro-
nounced success.
Manager Fuller had the opportunity
last week to fully demonstrate the ca
pacity and economy of these great ma
chimes when a Reliance took safe,
vault and doors, with block and tackle
and four men, to Lordsburg, unloaded
the same and returned to the garage
on Market street within ten hours. Had
this been transported on dray 1T
would have required a crew of four
horses a day to go to Lordsburg, a
day there unloading, and the following
day to return to Los Angeles. AS 1t
was the whole job was completed
within one days working time.
The demonstrator is always ready to
will do, and the truck bought will per-
form exactly as does the demonstra-
tor. The truck is not eating alfalfa
or barley or oats when not engaged at
work. The horse is. The truck takes
up less room. moves three or four
times as much freight, does it at less
expense, and is always clean and spick
looking for work and indicates prog
ress. The day of the horse is num-
bered with the Reliance on the streets.

BERT DINGLEY is
BACK FROM EAST

Bert Dingley, the clever California
automobile racing driver, has returned
from the east after a season of racing,
In which he won some distinction. He
was a member of the team of four
racing men which was maintained by
a company of Detroit. He handled a
car in the Lowell, Mass, races, in the
Fairmount park race in Philadelphia
and in the Atlanta carnival. He was
also entered in the Vanderbilt race,
but his car was damaged in an accident
the day before the race and he was
unable to compete.
According to Dingley, the five-day
automobile carnival at Atlanta was
the most interesting of all the events
The races furnished a test OF both
speed and general endurance.
II enjoyed driving on the Atlanta
track" said Dingley, more than any l
have ever driven on, and 1 believe 1t to
be the fastest track in the world.
81 was very sorry not to be in my
home state at the time of the Portola
race, as believe the Alameda track to
be especially fast"

EIGHT CYLINDERS
WILL BE FOR FREE
Young Driver viii Be Groomed for
Contest Against Fastest Men and
Cars on Any Track in
World

One of these days there will be a
track ready in Los Angeles for the
fastest automobile driving that has
ever been seen on the American con-
tinent, barring none. On. that track
will be seen the fastest cars of the
country. There will be racing cars
and there will be net stock car races
In the professional racing there will
be car and a driver on it that will
make the eastern space artists
change their numerical classification
of drivers. That car will be able to
make all the local cars stand by the
fence rail and watch her go by and the
driver who will make her toe the line
at the most terrific gait the local pub
lie has ever witnessed is Frank Free
AT this very moment there is
nearing completion a brand new
machine with eight cylinders and
which will have an ignition system
that will add to her power to an enor-
nous extent. This system is also be-
ing specially constructed for this ma
chine, the purpose being to have the
car in shape for a meet with one or
two of the fastest drivers and fastest
cars seen upon the great speedways of
the east, and this car Free is to drive.
Among these are Barney Oldfield, who
is expected to be a visitor shortly to
the Pacific coast, where the nervy and
spectacular driver is a favorite with
all the fans of the coast Ralph De
Palma, who is just recovering from
an illness and his confinement in one
of the eastern hospitals, is promised
by the Fiat Automobile company for
the meets in which Free will drive
the new car, which will be a stranger
to the Los Angeles public, but is
promised by her builder to make the
Fiat 120 horse power car of De Palma's
and the 100 horse power Durac and
the same powered car of Oldheld's
hurry around the corners or take the
dust of Free into their carburetters.
The Herald has a telegram from the
Fiat people promising De Palma to
Los Angeles with his car as soon as
he is fully recovered. In these events
it will be a pleasing thing to the Los
Angeles public to see on the same
track Hanshue, Livingstone, Siefert
and Nikrent.
-. The racing business is just getting
good in Greater Los Angeles.
