MUCH INTEREST IN SERMONS.

MUCH IN IERESI IN SERMONS.
 There is a growing interest in the series of sermons being delivered by the Rev. George M. Brown of the First Methodist church. They are unique because they are the written views on number of popular topics by number of local men inside and outside of the church. As their iden- tity is not made known to the audi ence they have not hesitated to ex- press themselves most frankly and have improved their opportunity to the full. Many of the replies to the questions asked show deep thought and keen observation and purpose to reach the heart of the subject as they see it. The topic Sunday even- ing is, .sIs Christ Merely a Historical Personage, or Is He a Living Person. a1ity to the Majority of Men ?''

Everything in Readiness.

PASCAGOULA, Miss, May 81
Wind and rain combined to seriously
interfere with todays program here,
but much TO the delight Of everyone
the skies finally cleared and festival
spirit, which had marked the citizens
of the Pascagoula district, again
came in evidence. In spite of the
storm the officers Of the -battleship
braved the elements and came ashore
and here received the formal welcome
of Pascagoula. A welcome which
found expression in eloquent address
es, cordial responses and an elabor-
ate musical program.
Governor Noel and his party arrived
here today from Jackson, coming via
New orleans and helped receive the
battleship officers. Hundreds Of visi
tors are coming in on every train and
when the time of the presentation ar
rives there will probably be several
thousand of them here.

| demand that is now almost wholly
lacking. 1t cannot suddenly revive
With the approach of crop move
| ment, if the prospect of a fair yield
holds good, will come some railroad
demand. but it will be slight There
is. therefore, certainty of diminished
consumption for months to come-of
somewhere between 20 and 80 per
cent. There is no corresponding de-
crease Of mill capacity. On the con-
trary there has probably been an in
crease since two years ago. Some big
mills have burned, but bigger mills
have taken their place, and many mills
during the shut down of last year en-
ployed number of their crew in ex-
tension of logging roads, and the max
ing of other betterments, that have &C
tually increased their capacity. There
is lot of downtown timber still -
cut. and a considerable quantity of
timber purchased during the boom Pc
riod of two years ago under short
time contracts that must be removed.
If there ever was a time when cur
tailment by individual effort promised
immediate relief, and is the only thing
that does promise relief, it is the pres
ent. The demand is all that can be-
expected. 1t is a question solely CT
too much lumber. If the amount cut
can be reduced, it absolutely assures
not only a fairly satisfactory trade
this fall but a trade at profit next
year, whereas a continuance of the
present production precludes the hope
of any better prices any time this year,
and with a very little better out
look for next year.
Manufacturers should not mistake
a little furry of held-up orders com
ing in for an evidence of a real change
in the situation, nor be misled by gen.
eral deduction drawn from the figures
reported On the present cut as com
pared with normal capacity" Nearly
every manufacturer is prone to over
rate capacity of his mill, and to repor-
his present cut as below normal ca
pacity,' when in reality he is cutting
as much stuff as he ever cut, and
every stick his mill is capable of cut
ting.

1t is positively depressing to ride
from Hattiesburg to Mobile and sec
what vast acreas there are which
are not producing dollar for any one.
To stop at stations where industrial
life seems almost extinct; where for
more than hundred miles two little
second class coaches, passing each
way twice day is all that is needed
to take care of the passenger traffic
where earnings are so small that only
the poorest facilities are available and
one looks in vain for some sign along
this line which offers any hope for
the future.
That there are opportunities for
building up a great business for the
NJ, ]. & K. C. does not admit of a
doubt, but there must be an immediate
change Of policy if these opportunities
are utilized in time to take care of the
future obligations of the company.

NEW POLICY NEEDED,

The News is gratified to learn that
the Mobile, jackson and Kansas City
railway is about to emerge from its
financial difficulties and we hope that
a policy may be adopted which will
obviate any further mortgage foreclos-
ures. We feel sure, however that
there must be a different policy
adopted, if the road is to experience
a prosperity which will enable it to
meets its future obligations. Originally
this road was built to develope the
lumber industry and it seems that the
management has continually lost sight
of the fact that there is only one crop
OF pine trees in century and though
the crop has been harvested along
many miles of the road the managers
have done nothing worth mentioning.
TO develop the country for the purpose
of producing tonnage which would take
the place of the timber that has been
worked up. The News feels that it IS
AAipOl telLl JudL SUDle policy De
adopted at once which will make up
for lost time for that road is now
running for miles through a country
with great possibilities, but in which
there is little or nothing doing to de-
yelop the latent resources. The News
has felt for some time that possibly
the difficulties under which the Hat
tiesburg Commercial Club labors, in
trying to get cheap cut-over lands for
actual settlers, might be lessened, if
there should be cooperation of Che
railroad managers whose lines run
through South Mississippi At pres

ing a little money for salaries for in
dustrial agents who can do nothing
because there is no land for sale and
this condition will continue indefiu-
itely unless some comprehensive plan
is adopted for securing large bodies
of land to be sold at reasonable prices.

TRIBUTE PAID To
ELIOT YATES. ?OOTE
BY Members of the Main Street
Methodist Sunday School.

The following memorial and tribute
to Eliot Yates Foote was adopted By
the Main Street Methodist Sunday
School, Sunday morning, May 80, 1909:
Main street Sunday school is again
called on to miuele tears with thrse
who weep. The heavenly messenger
have again come and borne ava. re
of our beautiful flowers to enrich u.
Garden Of God.
Since our last Sunday morning scr
vice we have been made sad by the
departure from earth to heaven of Ia.
bright-faced, curly haired little boy
whom we knew and loved as Eliot
Foote. z
We weep when our loved ones GO
and our grief overflows as We look
upon the form of little child who has
closed its eyes in death. Every heart
that has known the love of a child
quickens its best as we think of the
sorrow thus brought to fond parents
We think of the loving clasp; we heaG
the prattling voice; we recall the sim
pie childlike trust, and there come to
our lips the words "Oh, how sad" The
tears rise to our eyes and drop upon
the bier, while we in Christian faith
say to the bereaved, weep not, dear
friends, for he is not dead but
sleepeth'
Yes, our little boy is gone, our ban
of little children is broken, another
name is dropped from our roll. Our
tears catch the light of heaven, and
in them shines the rainbow which |
Drisms the white light of Gods love;
he light which dispels the gloom of
loubt and Eliminates the way from
.arth TO heaven.
While we refer thus to the break

Resolved, that to Mr.. and Mrs. r.
2. Foote, the loving parents of our
eparted little member. this school
rtends most hearty assurance of our
nder sympathy for them in this hour
grief and separation.

: way to comfort their saddened ,
arts than to point them to our Sa-
n Divine, whose earthly ministry

belief on the part of buyers that cur

of improvement is to be accounted
for on no other basis. At the advent
of the dullest period of the year, witt
all crops as yet not assured and witt
the incubus of the tariff discussion
still hanging over the general bosiness
of the country, there is nothing to IN

1t serves to show how quickly the
NAHSNL VI even d prospective upH-t' "a
turn of prices is felt, and should be,
a strong incentive and a great en-
enlargement to the manufacturers TO
persist in a policy of curtailment, and
to push it to still greater length. The
man who is curtailing now should con-
tinue to curtail; the man who is not
curtailing should be gin at once. There
is no sort of doubt about the effec-
tiveness of the step.
1t will be pitiful thing if any man
ufacturer sees in the first symptoms
of a betterment of the situation a
reason for receding from plans of
shut down or short time operation
which he had adopted. If any symp
,om of Improvement exist they should

ion.
