A centennial exposition is being

proportions as to become 9 reality.
Since New Orlesns has apparently
abandoned her Panama Exposition

for an exposition and that this State

The difference represents almost
the entire margin of profit in those |
lines and, practically, shuts Hatties
burg out of competition with her ia
vored rivals save in very nearby ter
ritory.
Looking south we find the rate to
Gulfport still lower, viz: II cents per
100 pounds, same as New Orleans. So
Hattiesburg, with the lrge differen-
tial against her, cannot go in that di-
rection.
We have been reliably informed
that the N. o. G N. E., the Mississippi
Central and the NJ. j. & X. c. are
more than willing that Hattiesburg
shall have equal rates with Meridian
and Jackson, and that the NJ. & o.
and G. & S. |. are neutral or indiffer.
ent. Furthermore, that the chief OBJ
lection to the readjustment sought
comes from the Illinois Central, which,
in connection with the G. & S. L., car
ries the same traffic to Gulfport, at
IL cents per 100.
We believe 1t to be true that if the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley instead
Of having been absorbed by the II
linois Central had remained an indie
pendent carrier with all it's Memphis
connections, it would and could, in
connection with the Mississippi Cen
trail, give Hattiesburg the full meas
ure of relief she is entitled to and,
certainly, the Mississippi Central is
interested in making a metropolis of
its home city.
If the two lines above named, the
Y. & M. " and l. c. were in competi-
ton instead Of under joint control, it
would be easy for the Mississippi Gen.
trail to make as liberal a deal in favor
of Hattiesburg as that between the
I. G. and G. & s. I. for Gulfport.
This destruction of competition
proves the wisdom of the Sherman
Antitrust Act and it is a pity it can
not be made to apply to the case of
the I. c. and Y. & M. v.
If these two lines were resolved
into their elements they would hid
against each other for the traffic Ger
ried out by the Mississippi Central
Still, we trust there may be no oc-
casion to ask the interposition of the
department of justice and hope the
commerce commission itself will over
rule the contentious of the Illinois
Central against Hattiesburg.

ed in like manner, and that there
was no reason why all these witnesses
against him should not leave town
and remain away till the trouble had
blown over.
1t will be remembered that Garner
was indicted for bribery at the last
term of the Forrest coun y grand jury,
and it was thought by some that the
woman, Emma Holston, was done to
death to prevent her from testifyins
against him on this charge.
Both Randall and Garner will now
have to answer to the charge of in
timidating a wi ness, which is peni-
tneiary offense, and the case again Sc
them being a pretty strong one, 1t is
thought that a conviction can be he'd
in both cases.
So Sy Garner will sigh some more,
and it is very likely that since the
developments in this new case others
will follow, since it is alleged that
other witnesses have been intimi-
dated or bribed on several occasions.
The officers have been trying for
some time to land Randall on
charge of selling cocaine, and at times
when they thought they had him no
witnesses could be produced to testi-
fy against him.
Garner is the negro who played The
role of star witness In the prosecu-
ton of Joe. Williams for the MIR
der of Ed Howell, and has attained
some notoriety in Hattiesbhrg by rea'
son of having made application &c
the local bar association for permis-
sion to practiie Law at this bar.

A "Pipe Dream

NORWICH, n. Y, July S.-The fact
that he is. or was, a smoker has saved
the life of George Excel, of Hubbards-
vile. He was gored slightly by COW
and lockiaw developed.
When his jaw set rigidly he was
smoking his cob pipe. The teeth could
not shut together because of the pipe
stem. Through the quarter-inch wide
opening thus left he is taking nourish-
ment. The main part of the stem has
been cut away, leaving only a small
section between the teeth.
Excel is so cheerful in the predica
ment that his friends wouldn't wonder
if he got a new pipe and tried to smoke
again.

USING THE cuT-ovER LANDS.
Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
Our future is in the utilization or tne
cut-over pine lands" said a Mobilian
yesterday. 1--WE have about consumed
the availible timber or soon we viii
have done So and, unless the land is
made use of, we shall have decline
instead of progress. There have been
other communities to face G. IKE prob
lem. The outlook is not so<very serious
because there is every reason to be-
lieve that the opportunity for using The
lands win not be- neglected"
The citizen then spoke OF what is
doing ir the settlement of the lands
referred 10. The fact seems to be that
our lands, If helped with a reasonable
amount OF fertilizer-not toe much, as
some cultivators use, burning the land
up, nor yet too little-are as good
lands for cotton, tobacco, corn, oats,
potatoes, cabbage, .-beets, small fruits,
and all sorts of feed stuff as any to
be found. The citizen told this story
in illustration:
Two years ago foreigner came to
Mobile looking for farming land. He
had been to Oklahoma to Texas as far
as San Antonio, and east into Florida
as far as Jacksonville. He did not
seem to be very urgent or promising
1pf< h1,f n in, nj oh nd
looked at lands and suddenly pitched
upon 1000 acres back of Daphne in
Baldwin county, and bought them. Co
ing to work, he raised potatoes and he
cleared $500 an acre. How did he do it?
The Mobilian explains that, first, the
| man raised good potatoes and had a
good output; then he was his own
merchant, shipping his stuff to his
brother in Chicago, who disposed of
| the potatoes to the best advantage.
What he got was 1925 barrel. Most
other Baldwinites were content with
| $50 per barrel.
The point is that we should have a
population of enterprising men of the
sort described, who will take the lands.
that are of value now but for one pur-
pose, and that nearly exhausted, and
produce wealth from them.
Is ii true that the new lands porduce
excellently and soon wear out? was
a question asked The citizen said this
was a prevalent error. The land needs
to be helped from the start, and If
wisely treated it is as good, If not bet
ter, ten years later as at the first; and
anything can be raised on it. The
citizen added that there is steady
influx of investors, people who intend
to cultivate the land; and not specu-
late. Some recent sales have been in
very large lots, and the intention is
said to be to cultivate on large scale.
The outlook is regarded favorably
