ported will have the advantage of
these valuable transportation facili
ties, so close to the ship side and here
above all others will be the country
for intense farming, where the sea-
sons make it possible to perpetually
produce something which the world
needs to feed the fires Of energy. In
no other section of the south or east
is there SO much tillable land, where
the products Of the soil grow down
to the waters edge as in South Mis-
sissippi and consequently there is no
other field of endeavor which has
the opportunities possessed by this
Vast undeveloped section surround
ing Hattiesburg; where commerce may
attain such proportions that the ia
bled ships, carrying the wealth of the
Indies, seem in comparison like toy
ships of the school children on the
pond which is their imaginary ocean.
With all these possibilities; these
areas of undeveloped territory which
are lying dormant, there only needs
the energy and enthusiasm of our
people, in cooperative effort to start
the development which will be real
lied in a comparatively few years, if
the right kind of start is made
NOW.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

The News has from time to time
urged some kind of a Civic Improve.
ment Society in Hattiesburg and
| while it gets tiresome and monoton.
Gus sometimes to try to find some new
argument or say something that may
not seem too stale, the News is no.
going to let up as long as there is
any hope that good may result from
its efforts.
Jackson has a strong civic league
and we are pleased to note by the
papers of that city that it is doing
good work, and the important part
that it is playing in the education of
the children to the desirability of
civic cleanliness. The simple rules
laid down for the children of Jackson
will no doubt be beneficial to many
old people, if they will observe them,
and we know that there are many men
in Hattiesburg who ought to keep
them pasted up somewhere, that
would ever-lastingly remind them not
to litter up the street by their care
lessness. Here are the rules and we
commend them to everybody, young or
old:
1. Do not throw any paper into the
street.
2. Do not throw any fruit skins
or bits of fruit into the street.
8. Do not throw any refuse, espe.
cially glass, into the street.
4. Do not injure or deface prop
erty.
5. Observe city ordinances.
On paying the yearly dues, ten
cents they receive a button with the
words "Civic Pride" in white letters
on a green background. The white
letters stand for purity, the green for
beauty, which is God-given, but which
we may cultivate and embody in our
own lives, the two together making
the all-round glorious citizenship.
League Motto-"Purity, Beauty.
Glorify."

the east side of Front street and eA
tending back to a depth of 80 feet 70
an alley, together with the improve
ments and appurtenances thereto be-
longing
The above transfer was made on
account of the fact that the local lodge
of odd Fellows were going to change
a loan on its Front street buildings
and it was necessary to put the prop
erty into the hands of a committee
for the purpose of this negotiation.
The transfer means nothing except
that the committee will act for the
lodge in making the new loan.

tigation. He viii give the names o. q
number Of prominent citizens. it is
understood, who are alleged to have
taken part in the lynching.

and saw the members Of the mob. He,
together with the sheriff, and other

HOUSE FLY MUST KEEP OUT.

Montgomery, (Ala) Journal.
The campaign against the housefly
is going on so industriously one is
bound TO conclude that the pest is COM
ing to its evil days. Like the mos
quito. he fly now finds itself classed
with the undesirable citizens, and the
more we learn of his ways the less we
HE TO have him about us. The fact
that he is a scavenger. the only thing
eyer said to his credit is against him
One of the new charges against the
fly is that he contributes to the death
rate i'm children. Dr. John B. Huber,
notable as an epert in this class OF
sanitary research, in an article in the
New York State Journal of Medicine,
contends that files help greatly to
swell the infant death rate. The i'm
FAINT mortality is greatest in fly time.
There are few more congeniel culture
media for bacteria than milk, especial
y amidst the uncleanliness which OBJ
-ains in the houses of many very poor
people. This fluid easily becomes

The article is all the more interest.
ing because of its suggestion with re-
gard to tuberculosis among children.
Early contraction of this plague is now
thought to be one of its dangerous
features. Children are quite apt to alb
sorb the germ life of consumption and
though after they are strong enough to
throw it off, its presence leaves them
less able to fight it in the future. DR..
Huber, taking this view, continues:
Tuberculosis is thus in very appre-
ciable manner contracted by children
as also dysenteries and diarroheas
This is especially SO since we are now
convinced that all kinds of diarroheas
except the comparatively few cases
which are induced by mechanical
causes, are due to specific germs"
Illustrating the fly and his nefarious
service, DR.. H. D. Halton, of Vermont,
tells this story, very much to the point,
For several years one or more per-
sons living on a large farm, which
received its water supply from noun
tain springs, had typhoid fever in the
farm hands generally be-
ing the sufferers. No pollution Of the
water was discovered, but investiga-
ton showed that the farm privy was
and swarming with flies,
which had free access to the house and
its food supplies. After the old closet
was abandoned for more modern ar
and the house supplied
with screens, no cases of typhoid oc-
Cured in the neighborhood."
