Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
AN OBJECT LESSON.

In the News yesterday there ap-
peared an item telling of the fact
that the first tomatoes of the season
had been received; not very start
ling item, but one which should fur
nish much food for thought and which
furnishes a valuable object lesson for
our people. The tomatoes were of the
kind which would be greedily snapped
were of a variety and flavor equal to
those raised in any country, and as
they were ready a week ago to be
shipped, it is easy to determine how
much money might be coming into
Hattiesburg each day, now for some
time to come if we were ready to ship
daily. Here is a resource that is
waiting to be developed, but which
must wait because we are doing moth
ing practical to get people to come
here and raise these products. No
cooperation among our business men
to get cut-over lands which can be
sold at low price and which would
induce hundreds of people to come
to the vicinity of Hattiesburg and de-
velop the wealth that is bein produced
in other sections, no more favored by
natural ADVANTAGES than this country.
Co-incident with this item, which ap-
peared in the News comes the an
nouncement that the first crate of
tomatoes had just been marketed at
Tenaha, Tex, in a territory which
has become famous for its tomatoes
and yet they cannot be produced any
earlier, nor can they raise better
tomato than those received at the
News office, We are nearer big mar
kets than the Texas territory and can
raise them just as cheap. Once we
get such a development started we
need not fear for the future.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Each man of affairs has certain
amount of individual responsibility
which he cannot escape, and while
he may shirk and try to get along by
leaving others to do his share, there
comes a time in the affairs of many
men. when their own neglect and
Sinking is followed by great losses
and some times ruin, in business af-
fairs. There are men in Hattiesburg
who are either Sinking their duty,
are Indifferent or else they think that
they can go along by making pre-
ense of doing, but who in reality dis
pense nothing but words expecting
that those who are really doing
something will be fooled by such tao
tics. Such people are more than fooled
If they think that they can keep 1t up |

talk to is the man who thinks that he
is well fixed in the financial world and
is Indifferent to the progress and de-
velopment of his community; who real
ly would quake with fear If he only
had a picture of what might happen
to him if the progress and prosperity
of his community should be destroyed.
What are the assets behind the loans
in the banks of this section? Thou
sands of dollars of their value are in
directly based on real estate values.
What makes the office and store
buildings of Hattiesburg valuable?
The answer is simple, but the fact
seems lightly impressed on some peo-
pie who ought to be laying awake at
night trying to find some way to keep
property values from depreciating. The
value of every foot of real estate de
ponds on the use it can be put to and
it is not hard to imagine that with the
constantly disappearing timber which
has constituted the basis of our pros
perity there will be less and less de-
mand for office buildings; when the
broker and the lumber buyer moves,
unless there is some one to take his
place as a producer, the doctor; the
dentist; the stenographer and even the
lawyer must get out and a vacant Of
flee building is as worthless as
worn out gold mine.
What is actually being done to Gre
ate a demand and use for the real
estate of this city, after the lumber
is gone? How much land do you es-
innate was added this spring to the
cultivated area of the territory sur

the assets in our banks. who might
see their wealth entirely disappear in
a night by some sudden financial ca
tastrophe, caused by the sentiment fol-
lowing the death of a man like Mr..
Rogers. These things have happened
and they can happen again and there
is no community IN the United States
that does not need constant thought
and consideration from the man whose
property and wealth stands sponsor for
hundreds of thousands of dollars de-
posted in our banks, and who might
if he gives the matter careful considera
ton, realize that right now is the
time in Hattiesburg when we must
begin to develope our agricultural re-
sources, if our city is OF to relatively
follow the example of some once pros
porous mill towns, which stands as
warning beacons to our people; stand
deserted and decaying because the
whistle of the mill has not been echoed
by the dinner bell of the farmer. sta
tions on our railways which once pick
ed and put off of every train the peo'
pie who coming and going made the
passenger business of the railways

we have before us, may escape his re
spopsibility today or tomorrow, but un
less some one does the work, he OF
his children will settle the reckoning
