SUSTAINS
PAINFUL
INJURIES
Prominent Hattiesburg Citizens Was
the victim of a Peculiar Accident
Yesterday Afternoon.

A peculiar accident occurred about
four o'clock yesterday afternoon al
the corner of Mobile and Pine streets
when a piece of scantling fell from a
second story window arch and struck
Mr.. A. ]. Harris who was sitting in
front of the Windsor cafe, on the head,
inflicting a deep cash.
Had the scantling not struck a
glancing blow the results might have
been fatal, however, after few
stitches had been taken, Mr.. Harris
was taken home and although very
painful, the injury will not be very
serious.
The building is owned by Messrs I.
]. Nixon and ]. d. Donald and occu-
pied by the Windsor Hotel and Rest
aurant and the builders Lad left the
used to brace brick window
arches during their construction in
their places, where they had remained
unnoticed with practically no support
until loosened, probably by some jar
IS of a slamming door, this one fell
striking by chance only a glancing
blow on one of the crowd that is usu-
ally gathered on this corner.

|STOP COMING
| LINCOLN PENNIES
Initials of the Designer Are Too Prom
inent, and Will Be Eliminated
From the Coins.


WASHINGTON, August 7,-Seere
tary of the Treasury McVeagh an
nounced today that he had decided to
have the minting of the new Lincoln
pennies stopped for the present, and
that new dies will be prepared as soon
as possible, eliminating the initials OF
the designer, which now appear so
prominently, and substituting the sin.
gle initial B. in an obscure part of the
design.
The secretary said that none of the
pennies issued so far would be called
in, but that the minting would be
stopped because a sufficient supply
was on hand. The initials " D. B
| are those of the designer, V. D. Bren.
ner, of New York, and the single mi
tial, in an inconspicuous place, will be
left in the new dies as recognition OF
Mr.. Brenner's work.
This decision as to changing the dies
created much surprise, as it was an
nounced at the treasury department
yesterday that the new coins would
be continued in circulation for the
present at least, and that the use OF
the initials on them was merely in
line with a custom that had prevailed
for years. The prominent position
given the initials, however, awakened
widespread criticism and today's ac-
ton followed the further considera-
ton of the matter.

and such a feast, it was all the
good things that could be men
toned after which the fishing
boat rowing, dancing and ect.
was indulged in, the music being
furnished by Messrs Holland
Saulsburg and Miss Alma Bass
The only thing that happened to
in any was molest the pleasure
of the day was the narrow es-
cape of w. M. Holland from
drowning. While out rowing
he got too near the current
that is formed from the water
going over the dam and would
have went down and to his
death had not the uprights been
there and as the boat lodged
against them he crawled out on
the bridge. The following per-
