Wants Conference
ON AUGUST 18TH.
Has Addressed Letters to Secretaries
of All Commercial Organizations in
the State, Asking Them to Send
representatives to jackson.

JACKSON, August 7.-Secretary e.
A. Stephenson of the Juckson Board
of Trade, now that the excursion and
convention season is about over he
finds time to look into other matters,
has taken up the good roads idea that
is doing some missionary work along
the line of activity in that direction.
He believes that now is as good
time as any to work up this matter
that is becoming of such vital interest
to the public generally, that almost
every issue of the leading papers in
the state has something of interest to
say, either editorially or by cores
pondents, in advocacy and modern
methods of keeping up the state high
ways. Mr.. Stephenson has addressed
letters to each Of the commercial or
ganizations in the state, inviting them
to send representatives to a conference
which has been suggested to be held
here on the morning of Wednesday,
August 8.
ihe idea is to organize a permanent
and statewide good roads association,
an organization that will take up the
idea and keep at it until every road in
the state is macadamized. or put in
good permanent condition by other
process of working.
While it was recently stated during
a conference of business men here, in
discussing another matter, that Missis-
sippi has outgrown the "ox wogan"
stage, and that the people are more
dependent on and more closely in
touch with the railroads, the good
roads advocates hold that this condi-
ton, gratifying as it is, is not all that
is wanted.
1t is just as necessary to build and
maintain good roads-roads that will
be as good and easy to travel over in
January as in June-as it is to foster
and encourage the railroad builders IN
their work of improvement and devel-
opment, and the movement inaugurat-
ed by the Jackson Board of Trade it is
hoped will lead to the best practical
results.

| With the Carmiceal prohibition bill

An order was sent to each member
of the Country Club owning locker

fects must be out and the members
removed their property.
At the Southern Club last night reg
ular funeral services were held, the

pieces of crepe. Prominent citizens,
members of the club, including judges,
lawyers, merchants and others, gath.

interest because of the jollity of the
rooms followed with a slow song.
The so-called clubs have closed
doors, but few places still hanging on.
Many leases on rooms have been given
up, and today there was but little
liquor selling in Birmingham
Recorder Feagin, in the police court

fine of 500 was imposed on him, from

PAYNE BILL HURTS
SOUTHERN INDUSTRY
Free Hides, Without Lower Duty on
Shoes, Boots, Harness and Other
Leather Goods, Condemned, AS Also
the Tax On Bagglng.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, August T.
At called meeting of the Arkansas
Cotton Seed Crushers Association,
held here, the following resolutions
condemning the Payne Tariff Bill were
adopted:
Whereas, The tariff bill known as
the Payne bill, recently passed by the
house and now pendinfg in the senate
is in many features discriminatory
and hurtful to the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of the South
and West and subversive to the the
cries of our government in that its tax
ing powers cannot be used for the
benefit of one class or one section to
the detriment Of another, therefore be
it ,rarr 90.
Resolved, That this association in
convention assembled records its earn
est protest against:
"First-The importation of free
hides with out a corresponding reduc-
ton in the duty on boots, shoes, har-
ness and other leather goods.
"Second-the proposed tax on bag
ging which imposes a heavy burden
upon the cotton growers of the South
for the benefit of two or three manu-
facturers of these goods.
"Third-We oppose the admission to
this country of free cotton oil, as such
a measure would result in the cheap
ening of one Of the most important
manufactured products of the South
and a consequent decline In the value
Of cotton seed.
"Fourth-We are unalterably op--
posed to the present tax of 10 cents
per pound OH oleomargarine, a pure
and wholesome substitute for butter,
and in this connection we fully indorse
the recent action of the executive COM
mittee of the Interstate Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association.
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to send copy of the pro-
ceedings to every farmers union and
to every labor council in Arkansas. to
our state legislators and to our repre-
sentatives in congress"

FOR BIRMINGHAM
'CHANGE TRADERS
POUND COTTON
Secretary Wilson's Interview Is Used
by Manipulators to Hammer Down
the High Price.

NEW YORK, August 7.-An inter-
view given by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, in which he declared that the
cotton crop will be reasonably good,
has been used by group of bears Oh
the cotton exchange to pound prices
down over 70 points, or more than
$3.50 a bale, since last Monday.
Mondays department of agriculture
cotton report was the most bullish i'll
nearly a generation. 1t declared that
its statisticians had found the condi-
ton Of the crop in all the states to
have deteriorated to such an extent
that the average on July 25 was only
71.9 per cent, which Wall Street ex-
perts interpreted to mean a yield of
within 13,500,000 bales last year.
One of the leading authorities on
cotton statistics declared if the report
was true it indicated the most com
plete disaster that has ever overtaken
the American cotton crop. Within a
few minutes after the report was read
on the cotton exchange, cotton jumped
40 points, or about So bale.
While excitement was at its height
several of the bear leaders placed a
copy of Secretary Wilson's interview
in the hands Of every trader on the
floor. Copies of the interview have
been sent widespread in market let
ters, accompanied by the statement
that there is no doubt as to the au-
thenticity of the interview, which un-
doubtedly represents the true opin-
ion of the head of the agricultural de
partment.
1t is asserted in the cotton trade
that either Secretary Wilson must
have been misinformed by his experts
as to the condition of the crop in the
South or some error in compilation
must have appeared in the statistics
sent out by the department on Mon
day.

ROADS PUT ON
TRAIN AUDITORS
Illinois Central and Gulf and Ship ISL
and Have Them, While the Queen
and Crescent Says Nay Nay.

JACKSON, Miss, August T.. Train
auditors, whose duties are to take up
tickets and cash fares and report to
the general offices, leaving the con.
ductor with nothing to do but run the
trains, are being experimental with
on several o. the roads leading into
Jackson, and while they are now on
merely as an experiment, railroad OF
ficials declare they are likely to be
come fixtures.
The Illinois Central, who has had
the plan in effect on its Louisville d.
vision for some time, has just inau-
gurated it on this division, and the
first auditor went down yesterday. The
Gulf and Ship Island has been trying
it for a month or more. The Queen
and Crescent, 1t is said, will not try
it at all. The Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley will doubtless await the re-
suit of the experiments made by It's
parent, The Illinois Central.
1t is interesting to note the effect
the experiment is having on the con-
ductors upon whose trains the audi.
tors run. While some of them look
upon it as a sort of interference end a
reflection upon their honesty and their
willingness to turn in all the fares
they collect. others view it as a boon
in relieving them of the most disagree
able part of their work and are salts
fled. The division superintendent Of
the Alabama and Vicksburg is said
to be so confident Of the honesty Of his
conductors that he himsolt resents
even the idea of having auditors over
them. He is quoted as having init
mated rather strongly that IL tine sys-
TENS were inaugurated on his road he
would resign.
Very little information is available
as to the system, but the auditors are
said to be furnished under contract
by an association whieh guarantees a
certain percentage of increase in pas
senger fares. And if they can de-
liver the goods it is safe to assume
that the auditor has come to stay.
What has not been explained, however,
is the method of making an auditor
more honest than a conductor"

WILL TREAT
TUBERCULOSIS
Camp Which Was Established at Jack.
son as an Experiment viii Be
Made Permanent.

JACKSON, Miss, August 7.-Thc
trustees Of the State Hospital for the
Insane located in the northern suburbs
of Jackson, who have been in session
the past day or two, have determined
to make permanent their tuberculo-
sis camp, and with that end in view
are now replacing the tents and tenn
porary structures erected in the open
several hundred yards from the asylum
proper, with substantial frame build
ings.
These structures can hardly be des-
ignated as buildings, though there is
a good deal of wood and framework
about them-or will be when they are
completed.
The idea of the trustees is to estab-
lish the tuberculosis camp on a per-
manent and lasting basis. The houses
for the patients will be weatherboard.
ed up four or five feet-just above the
level Of bed or cot, and above that
will be a wire cause netting through
which the air may circulate freely, the
breezes of summer may find ready
entrance and the winds of winter may
whistle.
From observations taken during the
past two or three years, or since the
tuberculosis camp was established the
trustees are convinced that there is
great deal of merit in the open air
treatment for the great white plague,
and that consumption can be cured
when taken in time. A great many
patients have been benefited if not
cured, through the treatment given at
the State Hospital camp, and the work
will be continued on a more substan
tial basis than heretofore.

The RESULT WAS
VERY GRATIFYING
All Arrangements Have Been Made
For the Meeting of Hattiesburg Bus
mss Men and Farmers at Ideal Next
Friday-lnteresting Program.

The general committee of the busi-
ness men who are arranging for the
picnic next Friday, met at the Hat
tiesburg Bank and Trust Company's
offices this morning to hear report
from the different committees and
the result was very gratifying. Messrs.
Magruder and Farley went out to
see the farmers who are interested and
they report much enthusiasm and the
people out in that neighborhood are
looking forward to the occasion with
much pleasure. The committees will
provide plenty of bread, barbecued
meat and lemonade to satisfy the in
ner man and the intellectual side has
also been provided for by the selection
of the following speakers: Rev. E. j.
Currie, county superintendent, will
talk on the Social Needs" Rev. Geo.
Thompson will discuss "The Common
Interests of the Town and Country"
Mr.. D. w. Draughn, who will deliver
the address of welcome, will also tell
what "a Country Boy May Do" and
Rev. L. e. Hall will talk on the pos
sibilities of Hattiesburg Territory. The
feast of reason so far as the set pro-
gram will be brought to fitting close
by Hon. j. R. Tally, who will talk
Hattiesburg. None of these addresses
will be long enough to be tedious as
this is recognized as being the occa-
sion for friendly greetings and not
for the purpose of too long drawn out
speeches. 1t is planned to barbecue
anywhere from 1900 to 1000 pounds
of beef which would be enough for
almost any kind Of a crowd. In fact
there will be plenty of everything and
some to spare. The members of the y
committee are going at the matter with
the genuine pleasure that comes from
planning a good time and there isl
no doubt that it will be fully as pleas
ant as anticipated.
