Pike County.

Fred. H. Cline, A. w. Cline, R. P.
Holmes. of the Cline-H Holmes Lumber
Company of this city, have organized
themselves into a corporation to be
| known as the Pike County Lumber

1t is the intention of these gentle
men to construct a $4,000 mill plant
at LeXie, Miss, a station on the New
Orleans and Great Northern railroad,
four miles south of Tylertown, Miss.
The new corporation has acquired the
holdings of the Edwards-Hrds Lum-
Der Company in Pike county, and will
begin construction of the new mill, as
soon as the charter is approved by
the governor
The purpose for which the new
company is created is to engage in the
llillouluS hiui
ket of lumber and all other products
made of wood, to engage in buylls
and selling lumber, timber and woods,
to acquire, purchase, hold and operate
sawmills, machinery ways, means
and appliances for the manufacture Of
wooden products, to own and operate
railroads and conveyances needful in
the business.
The charter of the new corporation
has already been published in Pike
county, a large amount of the capital
stock has been subscribed, and it Is
hoped 10 have the mill in operation
not later than the first of January
next.
This new corporation will in nc
wise interfere with the business OF
the Cline-Holmes Lumber Company
which will retain its headquarters and

Dead Man a Witness.

From a thoroughly reliable source
News reporter learned late yesterday
that since Ch/pman, the dead negro
turned up" some Hattiesburg "blind
tigers" some months ago his life has
been frequently threatened and he
also was offered money if he would
leave this part of the county. What
connection this may have with Chap
mans assassination yesterday morning
is, of course, merely a matter for con-
lecture.
The inquest over Chapmans body,
being conducted by Magistrate Bolton
has not yet been completed and it
will be further prosecuted tonight.
In the meantime. officers are on the
hunt for the other negro whom il is
alleged was with the Williams negro
early yesterday morning shortly be-
fore Chapman was murdered.

LATTER WAS WITNESS
AGAINST WILLIAMS
On Charge of Retailing Liquors Un-
lawfully-ls Said Dead Mans Life
Had Been Threatened Many Times.
Officers On Lookout.

d. II. Williams, negro was this
morning arrested and lodged in the
county jail on the charge of being the
assassin of Marine Chapman, the ne
gro who was found shot to death from
behind with a shotgun near Farmers
Crossing early yesterday morning
Williams was arrested by Constable
Tucker and Mr.. Mckenzie on circum-
stantial evidence. witnesses swearing
that Williams and another negro had
just before gone in the direction Chap.
man went a few minutes later.
Williams, of course, denies his guilt.
but refuses to divulge the name of his
companion.
One of the strongest links in the
chain of circumstantial evidence
against Williams is the fact that the
dead negro was a witness against him
in a case against Williams now pend
ing for retailing intoxicating liquors.

No Efforts Made.

No attempt whatever was made by
those who favored the levy to get out
the vote Unfortunately, early in the
proceedings matters were injected in
TO the fight on the proposition which
had no business there, and which caus-
ed many of the strongest leaders who
favored the increase to feel a delicacy
about taking any active part in the
campaign.
The rejection of the proposition
iort->i the city council to readjust the
original twelve mills levy so that the
city government of Hattiesburg can
run another year, but possibly at the
cost of some of her prestige as a wide
awake, hustling city. However, the
wheels of progress have been only
slightly "scotched," temporarily and
Hattiesburg is bound to go right ahead
in spite of any slight handicap.
Following is the report of the elec-
tion commissioners to the city coun-

Will D. Upshaw To Be Heard At Court
House For Benefit of School
Library.

If the enthusiasm in public school
circles is any indication standing room
will be at a premium at the court
house tonight at o'clock when Will
D. Upshaw lectures on Schools and
Fools for the benefit of the public
school library
Mr.. Upshaw's speech at the high
school Monday morning so completely
captivated the students and teachers
that his fame spread widely over the
city among school circles, and when
he returned from Ellisville today TO
make the round of the other schools
he was received with enthusiasm
everywhere he went. At Court street.
Third Ward and Hardy street, the
boys and girls cheered when he ap-
preached, and cheered long and en-
Enthusiastically, waving hands and
shouting his motto as he went away.
Prof F. B. Woodley declared he has
seldom if ever seen a man who could
master an audience of children so COM
| pletely-creating wild enthusiasm in
one minute and causing death-like
silence the next.
The interest in the lecture for to-
night is widened everywhere. and
those interested in the school library
are in high spirits over the prospect
Of a crowded house.

Special TO the News.
JACKSON, Miss, November 5.-A
very considerable degree of interest
is attached to the fact that President
Taft mentioned the negro race only
once during his tour of Mississippi,
and that was in his address in this
city wherein he advised negro farm
ers to adopt improved methods of ag-
riculture and endeavor to better their
material condition
At none of the speeches delivered
at other points, did the president re.

any intimations as to his negro policy,

By a vote of S02 against TO 215 for,
those voters who cast their ballots in
yesterdays election rejected the prop
osition to increase the city's tax levy
by two mills.
There was very little interest mani
tested in the election and less than
one-half of the qualified voters of the
city cast their ballots. What little
interest was apparent was shown by
those who opposed the increased levy,
but no special effort was made by
them for the reason, as one of them
expressed it, that they didn't have

be firmly established. and that is not
to appoint negroes to office in any
Southern community where it can
possibly be avoided.
Incidentally, the negroes were rather
conspicuous by their absence at nearly
all of the stops made by the president
in Mississippi. In this city especially,
the number of negroes who heard the
Taft address was exceedingly small
although there was an exceptionally
large crowd of darkies in the city
that day, a large majority of them
were taking in the circus, and appar-
emily in blissful ignorance of the fact
that the president of the United
States was in town.

A PRIVATE
INSANE ASYLUM.

Copyright. 1907. by M. NJ. Cunningham
DR.. Treats private insane asylum,
situated nine miles from the city, had
been In existence for ten years when
the first breath Of suspicion was raised
against It. The editor of the Daily Ar
gus was a personal friend Of the doc.
tor. He regarded II as one of the
model institutions of the country and
had time and again commended II In
the most favorable terms.
One day young woman escaped
and told such tales as led to an inves.
tigatlon.
The trick of getting reporter into
prison or an asylum for a few weeks
to report on the condition Of affairs
was new thing then, though old
enough now. On the city stan of the
Argus was man named Green. He
suggested the plot that was carried
out, He was TO be sent TO DR.. Treats
asylum for treatment. The editor took
up the idea not because he doubted
the doctor, but from newspaper
standpoint. Green would find nothing
to criticise during his stay. but his ar
ticles on life in an insane asylum
would make good reading. II would be
stroke OF newspaper enterprise to
show that the Argus was wide awake.
The details Of the plot we're worked
out and then Green suddenly disap-
peared. II was learned from the editor
afterward that his friends had him
lncarcerated in the asylum as "trou-
blesome person." In plain English
that meant that he stood between
somebody and property. Two doctors
were found TO certify to the fact that
he was "harmlessly insane" That
meant he was in the way. but not ex-
actly given TO chopping up people with
an ak. His examination by these doc
tors lasted less than half an hour.
The editor continued to visit the
doctors retreat and to assure him
that ne believed I'm his integrity, but
each time he went ont there he man.

gone to the asylum to dissemble. He
announced on his arrival that he was
perfectly sane. and he continued to
talk and act like any sane man.
