PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR new FACTORY
REPRESENTATIVE OF NORTHERN
CAPITALISTS IN CITY WITH
VIEW o FINDING LOCATION
FOR NEW INDUSTRY.

Mr. c. c. Grew, of Lawrence, Kan
sas, representing associates is in the
city for the purpose of investigating
the advantages for a location for a
factory to manufacture water mains
of yellow pine. This is something that
the people of this section are not ia
maliar with but Mr.. Crew says that
there are two successful factories in
the north and one on the Pacific coast
The northern afctories are located at
Bay City, Mich, and Elmira, N. Y.
The former uses white pine and the
latter fir. Mr.. Crew says that our yell
low pine will make a good product. In
discussing the matter at the Com
merical Club, Mr.. Grew talked very
modestly and did not make any unrea-
sonable requests of the club in case
he should decide to locate here. The
factory will employ about seventy-five
men. The site will have to be on
some line of road, of course, but as
there are so many sites available, that
will be easy to settle. The question of
rates must be first settled before a
decision can be reached and there is
no reason to anticipate thatt his diff
Guilty cannot be overcome as the rate
on pump stocks, which is a similar
product is very reasonable. The ma
terial used in the manufacture of the
pipe will be IL to inch common and
it need not be free of knots. This re.
quirement can pribably be satisfied
in and around Hattiesburg easier than
at any other point in the south, when
our railway advantages are considered
Mr.. Crew is very much pleased with
Hattiesburg. He says that he is i'm
pressed with the air of progress and
the spirit if energy he sees everywhere
and that so far as he has found every.
thing favorable to this city as a place
to locate their factory.

key was fitted on the end of a long
stick and the corridor door unlocked

through the brick wall on the second
floor and lowered themselves to the

Other prisoners say they were per-
fectly aware an escape was being
made, but were afraid to make an out

charged with nightriding remained in

were missing was not learned until
shortly after o'clock this morning.

ACTS OF HIS INSECTS.

WINSTED, Conn.,, July 24.-Justice

of bees. His neighbor Charles Fields,
who has been stung by them on his

EVERY EFFORT
To Get a Rehearing OF the famous
Lowndes County Murder case-state
Supreme Court Has Been Appeale-
to Without Satisfactory Results.

MERIDIAN, Miss, July 24.-Ther(
is a strong probability that the case
of C. r. Smith, charged with the kill
ing of E. A. LaEent at Artesia, some
months ago, will be appealed to the
supreme court Of the United States.
1t will be recalled that Smith was
convicted by jury and that he was
sentenced to life term in the pen.
itentiary. The case was appealed to
the supreme court OF the state, and
the verdict of the court below WAS
sustained by a divided court, Chief
Justice Whitfield dissenting from the
opinion of Justice Mayes and Justice
Smith.
Suggestion Of Error 6verruled.
The next step on the part of the
attorneys representing Smith was to
file a suggestion of error in the SUI
preme court with the hope that a
new trial might be obtained. In the
work before the supreme court Hon.
S, A. Witherspoon, the leading coun,
sci for Smith, was assisted by Hon.
c. H. Alexander, one of the LEADING
lawyers of the Jackson bar but Mr.
AleXander's connection with the case
was only for the supreme court and
he was not the regularly retained
counsel of Smith. The bill covering
the suggestion of error was overruled
by the supreme court Thursday af-
ternoon and that left nothing to be
done for Smith, so far as the state
courts are concerned. OF course. he
could apply for executive clemency.
but owing to some comments made
by the governor, just after the convic.
ton in the Lowndes county court.
there is little hope to expect any in
reference with the sentence on his
part.

Every calling has it's fitting occu-
pant-the calling for the man, the man
for the calling; and what is true of a
particular calling is also true of an oc-
casion whatever form or time it may
arise. The man who rises to the occa-
sion is the one who shows a fitness to
meet the conditions embodied in it.
The one responds to the other and i'm
mediate or ultimate success is the re-
suit. This is seen in every depart
ment of human endeavor, let it be in
the fields of art and sciences, in the
worlds of agriculture and commerce,
in the realms of poetry and oratory, in
the spheres of historic research, or in
the common everyday affairs of life,

ANNUAL SERMONS X. OF p.

Sunday was great day for Pythian-
ism ir Denver. 1t was the occasion
of the annual sermon for the Knights
of Pythias of Damon Lodge No. 5, and
Pythians No. IL, and all visiting breth-
rem. Every Pythian turned out and the
boys presented fine appearance.
Campbell church was filled early.
Pythians in Colorado are enjoying re-
markable growth and interest this
year. The coming conclave at Kan
over the state and many are coming in
preparing to go to Kansas City, and
give Colorado a great boost. Damon
No and Pythian No. IL, and the
Courts of Calanthes, escorted by the
uniform rank, and headed by the Den
yer Colored band, were repeatedly
cheered on their way to church The
church was elegantly decorated with
flowers and the colors of the order
Special music had been prepared by
the choir and was well rendered
The annual sermon was preached by
Rev. Williams and full of splendid ad-
vice to the order. In his sermon he
dwelt particularly on friendship as the
rock upon which the order was found
ed He told in eloquent and graphic
terms, the simple, yet touching story
of Damon and Pythias, and laid before
all the great lesson of friendship to
be learned for a careful study of these
great characters. He brought out very
clearly how much we need constant
and tried friends in our daily life. The
great moral he drew was answering
fidelity to each other and how much
we could help to lift up by bearing
each others burdens. The sermon was
well delivered and received. Leaving
the church the boys gave very credit
able exhibition drill as they marched
back to the hall. 1t would be incom-
plete not to speak of our Denver band.
The boys are doing fine and will make
the visiting bands at Kansas City set
up and take notice.

what can be successfully met and
made measurably subservient to his
will and being. This, however, is only
| true SO far as the earth and the full
less he goes beyond the sphere terres-
tial and grapples with conditions ethi-
cal. The occasion arises for relative
measurement and distances between
earth and the peopled armament above
to be known and by man is met-the
occasion arose for the world to know
the difference, if any, between light
ming and electricity and it took a
Franklin to discover this identity. The
stars from the sky, the rain from the
clouds the fruits from the tree, all
would fall to the earth. The occasion
arose, Newton met it, and the world
understands the law governing falling
bodies.
Egyptian bondage spent its force and
Moses rose to the occasion to lead the
children of Israel to a land flowing
with milk and honey. The walls of
Jericho fell and Joshua led the host
which trampled around them.
The pages of secular and religious
history are full of examples of men
who have fallen in line with the occa-
sions as they presented themselves
and the world today is better because
of them.
This twenty-fourth anniversary of
the organization of the Colorado Afri-
can Colonization Company is a recog-
milton of that fact.
Have the conditions in this country
materially changed since 1885? Yes,
| they have, but not to the extent OF
making the Negro fully and univer-
Influences have been at work to i'm
prove his state as well as to discourage
him in his aspirations. Since the close
of the Civil war the Negro has changed
his base of operations for one purpose
or another largely because of persecu-
ton, to the North; has he drifted to
the East and West? Has he gone to
settle and perchance to improve his
material condition? Inducements have
been offered him to take up his abode
in the fatherland and many have
awaited themselves of the opportunity
to go thither, and from all accounts
they have met with success.
Mr.. ]. N. Walker rose to the occa-
sion by effecting the organization of
color having for it's object the coloniz-
alton of the American Negroes to the
continent of Africa. Through his
strenuous efforts, his intense zeal and
courage others have become interested,
the circle of enthusiasm has widened
until it has reached the White House
and the halls of Congress.
Twenty-four years ago the popula-
ton of Liberia was about twenty-five

said to be about fifty thousand. Surely
