HEALTHY GROWTH
How Columbia Street Baptist Church
Has Prospered, Despite Past
Hard Times.

Rev. ]. N. Mcmillan, pastor of Co
lumbia Street Baptist church of this
city, leaves tonight for Laurel to at
tend the annual meeting of the Leb-
anon Association, which convenes to-
morrow
This church makes a very crafty
ing report of it's work for the past
year. During the year SO were re-
ceived into the membership, while for
all purposes, local church expenses,
missions, charity, Sunday School ex-
penses revival expenses, money paid
on property, orphanage, schools and
colleges, the total budget for the
year is s6,55715.
1t Is of interest, to note that during
the present pastorate of nearly three
years, the church has received into
its membership, 267, while its aver
age contributions to all purposes has
been more than $4,000 per year, and
that in spite of the most stringent
financial conditions which this city
has ever known.

So declared Judge Davis in the
city court this morning when Antoine
Shutter, a Greek, was arraigned on a
charge of cursing George Alexander
fellow countryman, and another of
Shutters countrymen attempted to
plead for him.
A small negro boy swore that he
heard Shutter speak enough English
to apply some very vile epithets to
Alexander, accompanied by profane
language. Judge Davis fined Shutter
$3.50.
Shutter had Alexander arrested or
charge of trespassing on his premi
ses. but Alexander was discharged.

A NEAR-F|ASC0
BERRY Case SET
FOR TOMORROW
Suit of Mrs. Berry VS. Cumberland Tel

$4,000.

for the death of her son, which &C
Cured in the summer of 1908 while

trial in the circuit court tomorrow.
The original bill in this case named
as defendants the Cumberland Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company, the
Home Telephone Company, the City
of Hattiesburg and the Hattiesburg
Traction Company, and was tried al
the October. 1908, term of the circuit
court. At this trial the jury was in
structed to find for the defendants, an
appeal to the supreme court was TAX
manded
The demurrer from the action of
the lower court did not embrace the
Cumberland company, however, and it
is therefore eliminated from the case
as it now stands, although the style
of the cause remains the same AS
when the suit was instituted.
Young Berry, on account of whose
death the act..A was taken, was killed
by falling from a pole of one of the
defendant companies during an elec
trical disturbance in the summer oi
1908, the fall having been caused, il
is said, by an electrical shock sustain
ed by him while working at the tor
of a pole at the corner Of the Hote

SEVERAL speeches
MADE ON BOTH Sides
Circuit Court Room Crowded Almost
to Limits With Gathering of Repre-
sentative Citizens and Taxpayers
Matter Still Sole Topic.

Except in point Of attendance, the
mass meeting of citizens held at the
court house last night for the pur-
pose of discovering public sentiment
with regard to the proposed increase
in the city's tax levy, was a near-fi-
asco-that is, insofar as it was pro-
ductive of any results in obtaining
a general expression of sentiment
from those present Talks were
made by advocates of both sides OF
the question, most of them by per-
sons who oppose the proposed IN
creased levy, but when the meeting
broke up. those present had small IN
dication as to what the preponderance
of sentiment really was. Insofar as
expressed, it seemed to be against the
proposition.
1t was nearly o'clock when Mayor
Donald called the meeting to order
and the circuit court room was prac-
ticallv filled. On Mayor Donald's mo-
tion, Mr.. J. r. Tally was UNANIMOUSLY
chosen chairman of the meeting.
Dr. Donald explained the object OIL
the meeting, stating that under the
law, the city government must levy
a tax sufficient to meet current ex-
penses of the city for the fiscal year.
He said that while he was mayor Oh
Hattiesburg the city would never go
in debt again.

HAD SUED FOR
LARGE AMOUNT
Case Tried in June, 1908 and Peremp-
tory Instructions for Defendant Civ
en- by Judge cook-Reversed end
Remanded by Supreme Court.

Probably one of the most important
cases on the docket of the present
term of the circuit court, that OF Mrs.
E. L. McGee VS. The Mississippi Cent
raj Railroad, wherein Mrs. McGee
sougth to recover from the defendant
company the sum of $4,000 for the
death of her husband has just been
settled by compromise, the defendants
lconsenting to judgement in the sum Of
$4,000 and agreeing to pay all costs
of court.
The case was originally tried at
the June, 1908. term of the circuit
court. and resulted in the court per-
emptorily instructing the jury TO find
for the defendant. An appeal from this
decision was taken to the supreme
court by Messrs. Sullivan & Tally, at
torneys for plaintiff, and was by that
tribunal reversed and remanded for
new trial, the court holding that it
was essentially jury case.
The bill of the plaintiff in this ac-
ton alleged in effect that the death
of McGee was due to the defendant
| companys carelessness and could
have been prevented. MCGEE was an
employe of the railroad and it is said
he was in pursuit of duties in connec-
ton with the position which he held
when his death was caused by being
run over nv a train of the defendant.

THROWING fire
Denizen of "The JungIes" Brings Sc
rious Charge Against F. M.
Lyle.

F. M. Lyle, white, was tried in the
city court this morning on charge
of malicious mischief, preferred by
Ruth Oakes, proprietress of resort
in THE Jungles."
The evidence adduced was to the
effect that Lyle, in company with sew
eral other men, went to the Cakes
woman's house about midnight last
night and that he made several inef-
fectual attempts to get inside. One
of the soiled dove inmates of the re-
sort stated on the witness stand that
he was refused admission on the
ground that hack drivers are barred
from the place.
1t is alleged that Lyle hung about
the place until about three O'Clock
this morning and then threw a burn
ing log into the front porch of the
house. An inmate of the place averr'
ed that the house would have been
burned had not its occupants rushed
out and put out the firebrand.
Lyle denied throwing the brand
and told a plausible story concerning
his connection with the occurrence
After hearing all the testimony, judge
Davis announced that he would no
render decision until he can maxi
some further Investigations of th'
case.
