Was ANOTHER
JACKSON FAKE
No Foundation For the Story That
Bricks Were Thrown into Hara-
hans Private Car.

NEW ORLEANS, September O.
Nothing in it was the reply of Pres
ident ]. T. Harahan, of the Illinois
Central Railroad, when he arrived
here today and was asked regarding a
report emanating from jackson. Miss.
to the effect that a brick had been
thrown through the window of his
private car near Jackson late yester
day.
The only ground for any such ru-
NOR" said Mr.. Harahan, "was the ac.
of small boy who threw a clod of
dirt against the train as some small
boys are wont to do. l saw the lit
tie fellow when he did it. No damage
was done
Reports of a sensational nature had
been received here earlier in the day
to the effct that brick had shattered
a large window of the car and that
Mr., Harahan had been injured. When
he reached here unscathed his friends
had a good laugh over the report.

FIRST FULL PAY DAY
OF new WMAN LUMBER CO.

An event which for long time has
beeh looked forward to with much
eagerness by Hattiesburg business
men, is the pay day of the ]. ]. New
man Lumber Company.
The first full pay day of this con-
Germ since the new mill began oper-
atoms will be on on about September
Is, according to information from the
general office, and since the mill has
been working full force in each de-
partmnt both day and night for some
time, it is to be expected that the
pay roll will be large one.
Merchants will doubtless have
many inducements to offer the trade
on this occasion, and the money
which will be spent in the various
channels of trade will be great
boost to the prosperity of Hatties-
burg.

After October l, 1901, it will be un-
lawful to shoot, wound, injure, kill,
catch or pursue with such intent" quail
or partridges, doves, deer and squir-
rels in Forrest County, except during
the months of December and January.
Such was an order adopted by the
county board of supervisors during its
session yesterday afternoon.
For some time the members of the
board have been contemplating the
adoption of such an order, and, in
view of the rapid destructon and
threatened determination of the birds
and animals mentioned, it was de-
cided that no further delay should be
made in passing the order.
The Punishment.
The new order makes a violation
punishable by the violator forfeiting
the game he may have killed or cap
tured, also the appliances used in
the killing or taking thereof, and by a
fine of $40. Such violator stands COM
mitted to the county Jail until said
fine and the costs have been paid.
The official order is published in an
other column of this issue of the News.
