To Visit All Sections.

1t is understood that the two men
will visit every section of the Com
monwealth, analyze the various clays
and soils and later submit to the gov
ernor a detailed report upon the char
acter if materials that should be used
in the several sections, the manner in
which it should be applied and the
probable cost of doing the work in
such manner as to get satisfactory
results.
1t is pointed out that no ultra-ex-
pensive roads are contemplated, but
better highways, with hard and per-
manent surfaces, capable of holding
up under heavy traffic the year
around, will be recommended, such
as may be easily and economically
constructed with conveniently availa.
BILE materials.

GARNER'S CASE
FOR TOMORROW
Has Been Set for Hearing and Motion
for Change of Venue viii Be
Argued by Attorney.

The case of the State vs.. Sy Gar
ner, negro, charged with the murder
of Emma Holston, at Make, has been
set for hearing in the circuit court
tomorrow, and motion for a change
of venue will be argued by his at
torney, Paul B. johnson.
The change of venue is to be asked
on the grounds that it Is thought
that public prejudice against Garner
Is so strong in this county that it
will be impossible for him to get a
fair and impartial trial here.
There can be no doubt that Garner
is not favorite in Hattiesburg,
either with the white people or among
members of his own race, and to prove
this fact his attorney has summoned
a large number of witnesses to ap-
pear at the hearing tomorrow, and
the proceedings promise to be of
more than usual interest.

Building Of Park.

The Traction Company would
doubtless build a park at Hamper
Park if the league is organized on a
good basis. and there is no reason
why such league should not be more
than self-sustaining with a reasoable
salary limit, strictly adhered to.
The value of good ball team as an
advertisement to city is recognized
almost everywhere, and Hattiesburg
ought to be in this new league. In
another year some one of the big
major league clubs could be induced
to make this city its spring training
grounds. and as these clubs carry 40
to go men on spring training trips,
who stop at the best hotels and who
spend money wherever they are, this
feature should appeal to the business
men of this city in the matter of
placing a good team in this city in
the new Mississippi league.
Let all give this matter serious
consideration, as the time to act is Mt
hand right now.

Next Saturday in Jackson meet
ing will be held at which a powerful

Mr.. Lewis, of jackson, who has
been visiting the various cities in this

league, reports that he finds Jackson,
Meridian, vicksburg. Gulfport and Co

in the new organization and it lies be-
tween Hattiesbrg and Algiers, La,
as to which of these will be the sixth
and remaining city of the circuit.
Hattiesburg is preferable in every
way to all concerned, except Algiers,
but it will take about $4,000 for Hat
tiesburg to get a franchise and get
her club started.
Tomorrow, a committee of local
men interested in the national game
Will begin canvas of the city to dis

of this city are willing to put up for

be, with Hattiesburg in, a compact

FUR ADVERTISING SOUTH

Appointment OF Committee With Power To Take Definite Stems
Authorized By Open Meeting OF The Hatiesburq
Commercial Club
t!esburg the next meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Teachers Association, which
takes place during the summer of 1910.
To Get Teachers.

Prof. F. B. Woodley stated that the
executive committee of the association
will meet in Jackson on Nov 23 for the
purpose of selecting the next place
of'me eeting. He said that Meridian had
made very hard fight for the 1910
meeting at the last session of the as
sociation and had offered many induce
ments. If Hattiesburg goes after it,
she must be prepared to offer induce
ments and to tell definitely what these
inducements are. He said Hattiesburg
had a fighting chance to get the con
vention and that at least 1900 of the
more than 1000 members of the asso-
citation could be counted on to attend
the convention. The teachers would
leave an average of $40 each in the
city if they came here. The greatest
bdificulty in getting the convention to
meet here was the lack of convention
hall large enough to accommodate the
delegates. The auditorium at the
South Mississippi College would be
large enough, but there were no trans
portation facilities for reaching it.
Mr.. Bixler thouht the car lir 9 might
be extended by the time the convention
met. He emphasized the advertising
advantages of the holding of conven.
tions in a city.

by the President of the United States
of America.
"a proclamation:
THE season of the year has re-
turned when, in accordance with the
reverent custom established by our
forefathers, the people of the United
States are wont to meet in their
usual places of worship on a day of
thanksgiving, appointed by the civil
magistrate, to return thanks to God
for the great merces and benefits
which they have enjoyed.
During this past year We have been
highly blessed. No great calamities,
or flood, or tempest or epidemic have
befallen us. We have lived in quiet
ness, undisturbed by wars or rumors
of wars. Peace and the plenty of boun-
teous crops and of great Industrial pro-
duction animate a cheerful and reso-
Lutte people to all the renewed energies
Of beneficent industry and material
and moral proress. 1t s altogether
fitting that we should humbly and
gratefully acknowledge the divine

Steps were taken at last nights open
meeting of the Hattiesburg Com
mercial Club which it is hoped and be-
lieved will result ultimately in great
good to this city and to South Missis-
sJppi.
Most important of any action taken
3Sst night was that authorizing Pres
ident Jackson to appoint committee
of five, with plenipotentiary powers
from the Commercial Dub, to take up
the matter of advertising to the world
South Mississippi's agricultural re-
sources. This action probably means
that something tangible will be done at
an early date toward getting the cut
over lands in this territory settled by
farmers of the desirable character. AS
this is committee of the greatest i'm
portance, President Jackson will give
several days consideration to the NAM
ing of its members.

vitation be extended to the association
and that the Commercial Club guar
antee transportation to the college by
hacks in case the car line is not com

Mr.. H. A. Camp said the city should
not rush in and promise something it

to tranport by hack 1,500 or more del
egates to the college. Prof. Thames, of
the college, agreed with Mr.. Camp.
DIR. w. w. Crawford said a car line
to the college would pay even now, but
the work of school teachers was Sec
ond only to church work and he
the city might be obtained for the
