ARE DISCUSSING QUESTIONS PER-
TANNING TO WELFARE OF
THE SOUTH.
Almost One Hundred Cities Have Rep
resentatives Present-Permanent
Building in Washington Is
Discussed.

ATLANTA, Ca, July S.-Nearly one
hundred Southern cities were repre-
sented here yesterday at the first an
nual convention of the Southern Com
mercial Secretaries Association. De-
spite heat of nearly ninety degrees, the
secretaries put on full steam in the
cause of advertising Southern re-
sources and crowded through the dis
cussion of several projects which have
lately stirred the entire South.
These discussions included the
Southern Commercial Congress, with
its headquarters and projected palatial
building in Washington, the use of con-
vict labor in converting the sticky red
soil of countless roads in Dixie into
smooth, hard highways of commerce
and pleasure and cooperation between
the commercial secretaries themselves.
Statistics showing the South's re-
sources were given by G. Grosvenor
DoNSf VI thOhtSOlhCly AhdhdSl ms vi
rector of the Southern Commercial
Congress.
w. B. Royster of Chattanooga, pres
ident of the association, described the
uplift of the association upon South

to the high order of intelligence and
ability therein demanded.
Geo. S. Viewer, of Montgomery

INDIRECTION OF
DIRECTOR DURAND
SOUTHERN coNeREssMEN HAVE
HAD LITTLE SATISFACTION
FROM HIS REPLIES.
Especially of Supervisors in the Ceh
sus Department, for Answers
Are Evasve.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Southern
members of congress who have called
upon Director Durrand, of the census
bureau, have not been agreeably I'M
pressed with the result of their visits
to that official, which were with the
view to ascertaining what they might
expect from him in the way of the pol
icy of making appointments, especial
ly of censu supervisors. Mr.. Dur
rand's answers, according to accounts,
were lacking in! frankness and direct
ness.
He was asked if the recommends
tions of senators and representatives
would be regarded as imuortant in
appointing supervisors. He answered
that the recommendations of leading
business men of the community would
also be considered. He was then
asked if senators and representatives
should have obtained the Endorsement
of such business men whether mem
bers of congress would be consulted
Mr.. Durrand did not know about that.
Whatever might have been the CON
trolling motive of Director Durrand
in returning such answers, he made
the impression upon the visiting con-
gressmen that they need expect little
from him in the task of selecting cen
sus supervisors. The late director,
Mr.. North, had assured congressman
that he would act in accord with
the Presidents policy that the ap.
pointment of supervisors would be
made with the view of getting the
best men, regardless of politics.
Friends of former Director North
say that the present conduct of the
census office will witness a change
of the policy which it was understood
would characterize appointments:
that under Durand it will be a kind
of political machine, in the running
of which Postmaster General Frank
Hitchcock will take a powerful part.
On the other hand, it is urged that
Director Durand will discharge his
duties under Secretary of Commerce
Nagel. and that Mr.. Nagel would not
stand for anything like political ma
nipulation of the census bureau.
Congressman are naturally interest
ed in the directors policy for the rea-
son that they are continually hearing
from constituents who want positions
for themselves or friends.
President Taft has put off all uues-
tioners about census appointments
since the beginning of the extra ses-
sion of congress with the statement
that he did not intend to take up the
subject until the tariff question had
been disposed of one way Or another

CAMP SAMPLE IS
A VERY BUSY PLACE

freight agent for the Alabama and
Vicksburg Railroad, and other parties
at interest here, the A, & V. and South
ern have entered into an agreement to
reduce the coal rates 15 cents per ton
from the Alabama mines to Jackson
The rate originally was s1.60 per ton.
Now it will be s1.45 This is reduc-
tion of approximately Sc per car.
In the past the rates from Illinois
and Kentucky made by the Illinois
Central were somewhat below those
that could be obtained from Alabama
and as a result large proportion of
coal used here came from the two
former states.
1t is believed that this cut in prices
is but a starter. as the Illinois Central
will hardly stand back on 10 cents per
ton. 1t is expected that the Central
will meet this cut and go the South
ern and Alabama and Vicksburg
about 10 cents better, making the rate
from Illinois and entucky s135. If
so, the other railroads entering here
would follow that example, and in
course of time Jackson may get coal
at as cheap rate as does Meridian,
and the consumers would then feel
the effect on their pocket-books.

Farmer Needs Encouragement
and Evidence Of Apprecia-
ton From the City.
CONNOT Begin THE
WORK TOO soon
Hon. H. E. BIakesIee Signifies Will
ingness to Assist in Organizing a
Fair Association for Forrest County
Urgent Need for Institution.

Hon H. e. Blakeslee of the state De-
partment of agriculture was in the c1y
last night enroute from Popularville
where he went to participate in the
ceremonies attending the laying of the
corner stone of the Agricultural High
School at that place.
Mr.. Blakslee was very much graft
fled at the interest manifested by the
people of Popularville and Pearl River
county in the welfare and successful
the new institution, and estimated Fl e
crowd in attendance to number NJ ie
than three thousand.
In speaking of the recent farmefs
institute held in this city Mr.. Blakslee
expressed keen disappointment at the
meagre attendance upon the meetings
and the evident lack of enthusiasm
manifested by citizens of this city in a
work which necessarily concerns every
business man in this territory.
la was to be expected that the at
tendance upon the meeting would be
slim, as much bad weather had pre-
vailed for week or ten days prior to
the meeting and crops were in need
of immediate attention, but it was
confidently and reasonably hoped that
a larger proportion of residents of
this city would avail themselves of an
opportunity to hear able speakers dis
cuss questions of vital Importance to
every BUSINESS interest in the commun-
ity:.
Mr.. Blakeslee hoped to create more
interest in the corn club movement
and was desirous of organizing club
here. He has not altogether given up
this idea and it is hoped that the un-
dertaking will meet with the encour-
agement which it deserves.
The matter of organizing a fair as
sociation for Forrest county is anoth-
er question in which Mr.. Blakeslee is
deeply interested, and signified will.
ingness to come here and undertake
the organization of such an association
at any time which would be most
convient. for those who might be in
terested in the matter.
This is a work which should by
all means be taken up Immediately and
Mr. Blakeslee suggested that the coun-
ty should give fairs annually, even if
the first should be modest affair
and last but one day. The main ques-
tion to be considered is getting the
association organized, then the work
viii not be so difficult.

THE IMPORTANCE
Of COUNTY FAIRS.

The farmer, like all others, is man
who likes to get credit for what he
does, and little encouragement from
city residents goes long way toward
squirting him on to greater efforts and
the adoption, of methods which will
enable him to conduct his business
along lines which will mean more pro-
fit and less work to himself.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that the county fair has more to
do with the vital interests of the farm
er than any other agent, as by this
means he has an opportunity to DEM
onstrate to the public that he, as well
as the merchant, the lawyer or any
other class of business or professional
men, is alive to the necessity for and
advantage to be derived from the study
and application Of new methods, and
takes delight in exhibiting the result
Of his experiments.
Specimens of farm and garden pro-
ducts which are brought to this market
from time to time by thrifty faymers
of this county would no doubt draw
handsome prizes at fair, and it is
hoped that Mr.. Blakeslees suggestion
will be carried out and a fair asso-
citation organized as soon as practic-
able.

WOMAN ROOT
OF ALL EVIL"
CHICAGO PROFESSOR SAYS THE
DEARs PROBABLY WILL RE-
MAIN EXTRAVAGANT.

CHICAGO July S.-Women always
were, are now and probably will re-
main, extravagant, socially ambitious,
INSCRIPTIONS and generally RESPONSE
BILE for large part of the evils of life,
according to Prof. Herbert l.. Willett,
of the University of Chicago Divinity
School, who lectured on the Social
Teachings of the Prophets" yesterday.
The professor alleged that women
were as wicked in the times of
Amos and Hosea as they are today.
Prof. Willett told the summer stu
dents that of all women's faults, her
social climbing was the worst. He
blamed the society germ for the OPP
preston of the poor and the reckless
ness of the rich and drew analogies be-
tween the state of affairs in ancient
Judea and contemporary life.
"The moral levels of a nation can
never rise higher than its womanh-
ood," said Prof. Willett. MANY of the
evils of society have been and are due
to the social aspirations and extrava-
gance of woman.
"In the time of Amos, the women
were willing to take money obtained
by bribery. Bribery was one of the
commonest evils of the day. The
bribes were used for luxdries for the
women. The women insisted on hav'
ing the luxuries.
