Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 25.-(Special )-In Liverpool the easy close of New York and New Orleans on Friday led to a sharp reaction, which while expected went further than was due our market opened to points lower, remaining steady at the decline until the last hour, when 1t became known that the govern ment had issued prediction that another storm was in the Yucatan channel with a low barometer over Florida. A sharp advance immediately followed, advancing the market to 13. .4Sc for Jasuary before the close. In so nervous a market opin- ions are almost without value, but it is evident that the underlying temper of the public Is decidedly bullish and that they expect higher prices and take the market away from the trade.

There were considerable inquiry, however, for spring goods, but sellers are either holding their products at value or have withdrawn price lists, so that no contracts of good size were possible.

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-06-09

We commend the editorial, in anoth
er column, from the Jackson News on
the subject of banishing the pistol. 1t
is timely and to the point. There is
no reason why any citizen of Missis-
sippi should carry concealed weapon
OF any kind and We wish to see public
opinion so aroused that there will be
laws enacted with such penalties that
there will not be any question as to
its enforcement. 1t can be done. but
1t will not be done until the people of
the state speak in such terms as to
leave no room for doubt as to what is
Meant.

News pledges its hearty support. Il
Is reform that this paper has earn
estly advocated for many years. and il
should be adopted by the next legisla
tive assembly without a dissentine
vote. Mr.. Alexander has pointed n
legal and logical way to bring it about
and no man in our commonwealth is
more abundantly equipped to lead the
campaign against this great public
evil
The Daily News desires to urge the
Mississippi press to take up this sub
ject. and give it full and comprehen-
sive presentation to the people. Let
public sentiment be aroused in every
nook and corner of the commonwealth
against the pistol toter, and then, and
not until then, will we be able to
truthfully deny the awful charge that
human life is the cheapest thing we
have in Mississippi"

Water SUPPLY OF
CITY OF MANILA

Inc inauguration of Manila's new
water supply marks the completion OF
a project of great Importance to the
city. The new water supply is taken
from the Mariquina river, 20 miles
northeast of Manila.
The watershed above the point of
diversion covers about 140 square
miles of mountain and forest. and is
withdrawn from settlement. Private
property within this reservation will
be appropriated, says the Colonel
Review, and the entire district will be
freed from human contamination for
ever.
The reservoir is rectangular in plan.
and measure 500 by 764 feet, and is
20 feet deep. It's capacity is 10000 gal
Ions. The water enters through a con
crete-lined conduit, four and one-half
miles in length, of which a small
amount lies near the surface of he
ground, and was constructed in al
open ditch; the balance is in a tu.
mel, which at the deepest point is 10o
leet below the surface of the ground.
AT frequent intervals along the con
duit are inclined shafts with steps
for entering the tunnel to inspect.
clean or repair. AT one point the con.
luit sinks under the bed of the Du-
utan river, and at another it is carried
icross a stream by a GO-foot concrete
rich bridge.
The water is carried from the head
works. to the tunnels by means of
iveted steel pipe line AZ inches in
iameter and 1Oh miles long. The pipe
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-06-09

is carried under the Mariquina river,
but this section, in place of steel, is
of cast iron. Most of the other
streams are crossed by means of con
crete bridges: but at two points the
pipe is carried across by steel truss
bridges, where the width of the stream
is too great for concrete.
The dam is 40 feet long on the crest
and about So feet in extreme height.
1t is built of cyclopean masonry, or
concrete, in which large stones are
Embedded. Behind the dam will be a
storage basin, which will serve the
city during the dry months when the
discharge of the river is less than
that necessary for the supply.
The cost of the completed work is
about $1,50O,000 as far as the DEPOSIT
tory and the distribution system to
be installed throughout the city will
cost 100000 more.
The new system supplies 22,500,00
gallons of water each "a hours
enough to give every man. woman and
child in the city 100 gallons a day.

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
A SMALL PRICE

There is very amusing side to the
act of the man who stops his paper
because he sees something in it which
seems in opposition to some theory
he is welded to or because it seems
to be against some religious or educa-
tional idea he has become devoted to.
In order to have a respectable press
it must be Independent and to be in
teresting to all people it must present
the news such as it is from every
source, and without consideration as
to the personal feelings of few in.
dividuals. And it does not cost the pa
per much to do this, for while one man
is offended and stops his paper, it NAV
be the means of securing another to
take his place, so it is easy to figure
that it does not cost very much to be
independent. The properly conducted
newspaper is not devoted to sect or
society, but seeks to find such news
as will be interesting and educational
and happily for the progress of the
world, it is so arranged economically
that the newspaper does not have to
depend on the whims of few people.
When everybody realizes the full
meaning of this truth, the newspaper
will be a much greater force for the
upbuilding of the community.

WOMEN TEACHERS
ARE PAID LEAST
AND TRAINED BEST
INVETIGATOR SAYS 80 IN PAPER
PREPARED FOR UNITED STATES
BUREAU.

Washington, June 9.-Men have less
education as a preparation for teach
ing in the secondary public schools d
the United States than women, and
they remain in teaching very little
longer than the opposite sex.
These are the conclusions of Ed
ward l.. Thorndike, of the Teachers
College, Columbia University, reached
as the result of an investigation into
the subject, which are presented by
him in a publication entitled THE
Teaching Staff of Secondary Schools
in the United States prepared at the
request of the United States Bureau
of Education, and made public.
Professor Thorndike notes that there
is not so much difference in the pay
for the same, or ostensibly the same,

to do the lions share in the organiza-

Consequently Professor Thorndike
declares the most frequent or most
typical mems salary is only 1873 per

The report develops the further fact
that only one-fifth of the women reach
the median salary for a man; more
than five-ninths of the women have IS

man, and not quite two-fifths of the
women have taught as long as the me-
