The Point Well Taken.

Hattiesburg News:-
l am in most cordial agreement with
that spirit of our citizens which is
planning a great celebration on Octo-
Der 1st, because Of the completion
of the electric car line, the building
of the N. o. & N. E. depot, and the
rebuilding of the plant of the Newman
Lumber Company. These things call
for fitting testimony of our appre-
ciating and failure to show it would
reflect on our citizenship.
But, two other enterprises in the
city, one of them already completed,
the other soon to be completed, which
in my judgment mean as much o
more than either or all of the enter
prises above mentioned, have not
been considered in our plans. l mean
the building by the Bay Street Pres
byterian congregation splendid
church edifice at a cost of more than
twenty-six thousand dollars, and the
erection of church by the Main
Street Methodist congregation at a
cost of more than fifty thousand dol
lars. Shall we make on our children
the impression that to build railway
station is more important than ia
build a great church?
The Phenicians could furnish mas.
ter workmen and materials to Luild
temple for the Jews, but they
themselves cared not for the temple
The Jews sold some of their best cities
and lands in order to build the tenn
pie, where faith in Jehova Jireb could
be kept alive. From that holy place,
influences have radiated that have
made more for the good o
the world and the advancement
of sane commerce than an,
other spot in the world. Where are
the Phenicians today? What of their
history? Let the echo answer!
These splendid buildings represent
many gifts Of love" by part of the
best citizenship of Hattiesburg, and
since no strong arm of the law levied
a tax, Or financial expediency said,
"you must" they stand as a splen-
did compliment to the generosity of
these congregations. Why should
not their spirits and their deeds share
the honors bestowed by an apprecia-
tive public?
1t has been suggested as an exped-
lent for feeding the crowds on the
day of our celebration that the
churches of the city have lunch count
ers and offer food for sale. Why not
suggest that the public schools do
this? Or, why not suggest that some
merchant, whose sales have been
poor do this to aid in meeting bills
that are now pressing for settlement?
Is the church of Christ more of a
pauper than these? Tolstoy describ-
ed the country tramp as "going about
with bag and the name of Jesus"
May | not hope on that day that no
sandwich, coffee, cake or pie will be
offered for sale in the name of
Jesus.
Yours truly,

FROM A BUSINESS VIEWPOINT.

There were two arguments upon
which the defenders of the liquor
traffic for long while relied, as
their strong points. First, to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicating drinks

ruin business"

condemned the liquor traffic, could
not get their consent to interfere
with the 'inalienable rights" of their
neighbors. But when the statement

of the liquor traffic. That had to
be driven home by sledge hammer
blows at first; by strong men who
knew how to deal such blows; such
men as Charles B. Galloway and
James X. Vardaman. But once the
people took hold of the thought, the
old idea of what constituted "inalien-
able rights" went out and the new
idea came into their heads, and that
new idea soon found its way upon
the statute books of the state.
Then the liquorites took the bust

they thought. Touch a mans peck

they got the backing of the business
interests and were safe. But with
"damnable iteration" so to speak,
these 'fanatical reformers' kept in

tic was not inimical to other business
interests. They showed and proved,

DIVORCE IN JAPAN,

According TO the statistics for 1907
which have recently been compiled, the
total number of divorce cases in japan
during the year was 61,05S. Niigata
prefecture heads the list as it has
done in preceding years. Next comes
Toxic, the tendency being that cases
OF divorce are gradually increasing
throughout the country. Indeed among
the civilized countries of the world
Japan comes first in point of the num-
Der of divorces.
This fact, says the Yorodzu, does not
necessarily point to the lack of moral
ity among the people, but is probably
largely due to the simplicity of the
legal machinery for obtaining the de-
sired end.

FOR DEFENSE Of
PANAMA CANAL
From Eight to Ten Millions Are
to Be Spent on Forts, Guns
and Mortars.

The defence of the Panama Canal,
a problem of vital strategic and com
mercial Importance to the United
States, says Walter H. Beasely IN an
article in HarperS Weekly, mas been
tentatively worked out by Secretary
of War Dickinson and Brigadier
General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff,
United States Army. during their re-
cent trip to the Isthmus, and plans and
appropriations are to be laid before
Congress.
A number of strong Notifications and
batteries equipped with disappearing
guns, mortars, etc, embracing the most
modern and powerful appliances of
warfare, is to be installed to guard
the entrances to the great waterway.
To construct the complete system will
cost, it is estimated, from $8,000,000
to $10,000,00O, exclusive of armament.
The strongest and most important mill
tary works and defences will be erected
on the Pacific side, on four islands ly-
ing off the coast, some ten or fifteen
miles distant.
Valuable Islands.
The location Of these islands is of
admirable strategic value, for they are
so situated that each supports the
other, and, combined, they command
the entrance to the canal. On these
islands are to be placed some of the
most powerful guns in the world, the
great 10-inch breech-loading rifles,
which are over fifty feet long.
These huge weapons win make the
capture of the canal by foreign fleet
well-nigh impossible. They will be able
to outshoot the guns of the biggest
modern battleships before the vessels
can get within range The government
has only one of these gigantic guns
at present. 1t is installed at Sandy
Hook, and was built few years ago
at Watervhet.
Uncle Sans Pocket Pistol.
This great engine of destruction
weighing over 200 pounds can hurl a
monster steel projectile. distance of
fifteen miles, and ten miles out at sea
could destroy or seriously disable any
of the large Dreadnoughts now pos
sessed or being built by any foreign
nation. The huge gun, with carriage,
costs over 100000.
1t takes over 400 pounds of powder
to hurl the immense steel projectile,
which is as long as man, at a velocity
of nearly 800 feet per second. To fire
one shot costs nearly $1,000. The bat
teries of 16-inch guns and mortars on
the islands will be reinforced by shore
batteries at each side of the entrance
to the canal
On the Atlantic side these batteries
will probably be built on terraces, on
the ranges of steep hills that rise from
the shore line, one supporting the
other, and all commanding the channe
and the actual approach to the big

Coons' Last Week.

This will probably be the last week
of the Wise and Milton Company at
the Orpheum, and the best bill so far
presented by the company will be seen
at the theater tonight. These come
dams have made a place for themselves
here that will remain as long as time is

cellence, and their show has been free
from suggestions that are common in
lowpriced shows and Objectionable to

He is mass of that quality of comedy

found nowhere else. Years ago, in the
days when Billy Kersands and Tom Nc
Intosh were on the top rounds of the
ladder of fame, they appeared with
Calender s Georgia Minstrels in an
Eastern city where they were unknown.
Both were light in color and used cork
to bring their faces to the shade of the
Ethiopian. This fact was noticed, and
an oldtime minstrel who was in the aud
fence remarked that "Coons can not be
funny for pay, it is necessary to have
those blacked-up white men to bring

Two very good pictures viii be fea-
tured at the Park, on Fort street be-

will interest everyone. Hunting the

series are exciting enough to please.
Another pretty picture is "The b.

that it is not necessary to go into de-

fine eostuming in this picture. All it
needs is the music of the opera to be
