in anticipation of such an opportunity,
which low-grade product, finding its
way into the markets of the United
States, would displace the low-grade
domestic products, already in Excess
sive supply.
Resolved, That We, representing
the 10000 sawmills of the country, do
petition congress not to inflict this
grievous injury upon them, but to pro-
vide for revenue by placing the lum-
Der duty at the point Of highest rev.
enue, which should be about SO a
thousand feet, instead of the 81 pro-
posed"
This is in line with the resolutions
adopted by the mill men of the Hat
tiesburg district several weeks ago,
when the tariff question, as it effects
the lumber interests, was first agita-
ted.
If there is any change in the present
duty, it should be increased The
mill men who pay wages based on
living expenses are entitled to the
little balm that a SO duty against Ca
madam lumber would bring.

CONQUERING DISEASE.

A distinguished London physician
who has wide reputation among the
members of his profession. makes the
prediction that within the next gem
Grafton, the dread white plague"
will have been completely conquered
by science and will disappear. The
prophecy IS possibly little too OPP
tfmistic, but there Is no good reason
to doubt that the conquest of the
races deadliest foe among diseases
is only a question of time. The state
ment, coming from such high au-
thority, is much more comforting
than the sensational announcement of
the discovery of serums and devices
which are infaillible. So many of the
latter have been held out to the suf-
ferers of the world that each new
report is held in doubt until the
false hopes have been sifted from the
realities.
But there can be no challenging
the fact that science has accomplished
what might well pass for miracles
within the past half century. The at
tention of the medical authorities of
the civilized world has been focused
upon tuberculosis for many years
and these professional researches
have been abetted by the systematic
cooperation of the civil authorities.
Today the entire world is fighting the
disease, with every reasonable hone
of success in the not distant future.
Along analogous lines similar eff
forts have been crowned with victory.
Smallpox has been taken out of the
list of deadly plaques. Cholera and
yellow fever have been robbed of
their most malignant potency. Hy-
drophobia has been reduced from a
malady Of indescribable horror to an
easily preventable disease and one
very generally durable when prevent
i've measures have been taken in
time. The terrible Roman fever" of
the Italian marshes and the deadly
sleeping sickness" of the African
jungles have yielded appreciably to
the methods of modern science. MI
merous diseases of children, which,
half a century ago were regarded as
deadly, have been Invested of their
greatest terrors. These and many
other achievements of science indi-
cate the ultimate conquest of the
greatest remaining scourage of the
human race.

In the three years that we have
kept watch on this department, we
have never heard of failure of the
big pumps to be ready when big
fire started. They have kept the
plant up at very low rate of ex-
pense and there can be no good rea-
son for refusing their request for a
restoration of their wages.

A QUESTION OF SALARIES.

1t is our understanding that the en-
ployees of the City Waterwork depart
ment, will at the next meeting of the
City Council, ask to have their wages
restored 10 their former rate,
1t will not be the policy Of The
News to advocate any more increase
in the expenditure of the City govern
ment, but the case of these employees
is an exception and we think that
their wages should be increased with
out argument, in view of the recent
increase to other employees, who are
entitled to no more consideration than
the Waterworks department.
Take the case of the engineers at
the pumping plant it requires men of
previous experience and training to
fill the position. They are entrusted
with the care of property worth thou
sands of dollars. They must keep
their machinery up to a high state of
efficiency and always have it ready
for the best service that is expected
of machinery, on which is depending
the safety of hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of property, yet they do
not receive any more pay than a fire
man who goes on the force without
previous experience and not as much
pay as a policeman, who dons the
blue, yet he may have just come in
from the farm so far as previous ex-
perience is concerned.
The fact is, there is not an employee
of the department who can hold posi-
ton, unless he has had some previous
training, which will fit him to do the
work and their wages are not in keep
ing with the duties imposed on them.
This applies to every employee with
out exception.
Some time ago the City Council rails
ed the salary of the fire chief. $500
per month. We do not mean to say
that the chief of the fire department |
is not entitled to all the salary he |
receives, but we do insist that unless
the waterworks department is kept in
a high state of efficiency, the fire de-
partment will be practically useless.
Another very important point in
connection with the matter is that this
if left to the management
Of Mr.. Wainwright, without the inter-
'eren ce of those who are not qualified
20 direct. is more than self sustaining
md it is said that money earned by
he water works has been taken at
lines to pay other debts of the city.
The News regards this as a matter
f much Importance, as 1t not only in {
olives the principle of justice but 1t t
lso should be considered from the /
tandpoint of maintaining the efflcieD- v

A BETTER FEELING,

| y DE En- FEELINO.
Under this caption the Birmingham
News says: Strong pressure is being
brought upon congress from all parts
of the country to settle the tariff
as soon as possible. Letters are pour
ing into Washington on every mail
urging the members to work out the
details of the new tariff bill without
delay, and this influence is having
its weight already.
The indications are that the tariff
will be settled by the early summer if
not before, and there is widespread
impression based upon good grounds
that there will not be sufficiently rad
ical changes to materially interfere
with general business. With the tariff
settled general conditions all along the
line will be largely improved, and the
way will be paved for period of pros.
perity in industrial and commercial
circles.
The outlook in this district 10 better
today than it has been for some time.
There is a better feeling all along the
line, and a more general disposition to
invest in new enterprises.
Here are a few of the many indica-
tons Of improvement which have been
reported in this part of the country
in the last few days:
Tennessee company receives order
for 5000 tons of rails, and further
large orders are looked for in the near
future.
Woodward Iron Company building
big steel tipple at its No. 3 ore mine
on Red mountain.
Grenada Miss, to vote on bond is
sue of $12.50O for school improve
ments.
Movement to establish barge line
from New Orleans to Alabama coal
fields will be carried out.
New Baptist church to be built in
Mobile to cost $4,000.
Huntsville, Chattanooga and Bir
mingham Railway. Light and Power
company to build electric line from
Huntsville to Monte Sano, four miles
esat.
Company being organized at West
Blocton, Ala, to develop electricity
from water power to be transmitted
from three to eight miles.
Main street Methodist church at
Laurel, Miss, to build new house of
worship, to cost $4,000
Mobile, Jackson e Kansas City
Railroad company making arrange.
ments to extend northward to Ohio
river and eastward to coal fields of
Alabama.
Southern Lumber and Ice Company,
of Hattiesburg, Miss, preparing to
spend $4,000 in Improvements.
Company being organized with $780,
600 capital stock, to develop mineral
springs in Newton county, Miss.
Citizens Bank and Trust company
at Belzoni, Miss, with
100000 capital
Handsome new high school building
to be erected at Montgomery.
All the indications are for a marked
in nearly all lines of bus
mess in the next few months, with a
good record for the year and a period
Of prosperity ahead.
Are you in the game?

A CHARADE.

The following charade, though an
old one, is among the best. l COM
mitted the lines to memory nearly six
ty years ago, and though l have not
read them in nearly half a century,
they are still fresh in my mind
wonder how many, among the bright
boys and girls in the Hattiesburg
schools, and the South Mississippi
college, can give the answer; and
how many are willing to write that
answer on a postal card, and send
it to "P. o. Box 1872
A Few Words About Martin Luther.
My FIRST, though dark, has many
things
Made clear when rightly used;
All knowledge that we get from books,
Is through its means transfused;
That Martin Luther did employ
1t listen, is no wonder,
When in we'll written letters he
To Rome did send his thunder
He took my SECOND bold and firm,
'Gainst pope and priest and 1aymen,
When at the council held at Worms,
He said, God help mel Amen!"
Tradition says that while he once,
The Holy Writ translating,
At Wartburg Castle sat alone
Profoundly meditating;
Satan appeared to mar him,
But the doctor quickly banished
The tempter, for my WHOLE he hurl-
ed
Against him, and he vanished.
