and several birds were killed and
twenty-five or thirty squirrels.
The wonderful part of the story is
related by Mr.. Pittman. At night he
set out two trout hooks which were
about five feet apart. A big. blue
channel cat took in one hook and not
being satisfied with that, he managed
to reach the other hook and swallow
it, being thus caught by two hooks five
feet apart. Mr.. Pittman does not
want any one to doubt this because
his forehead is ornamented by
slight abrasion, as he says this was
caused by a slanting step to the bug
gy. and does not indicate in anyway
that he didn't know what he was talk
ing about.

FISHING PARTY ENCOUNTERS

A hunting and fishing party went

Education is preparation to do the
best work of the world, and while
there must be industry, courage, ap-
plication and high moral purpose back
of it in order to command the conf
dence and respect of the world, vet
education has a tendency to deveolp
and strengthen these qualities, and
thus in great manner command sue
cess.
Education is not a necessity If you
want the chances of competing with
machinery, but if you intend to COM
pete with brains you can only do it
with a well-trained mind.
AS the world advances, it gets more
exacting in it's varied demands. Me-
diocrity will no longer be tolerated.
The capital that was required to con-
duct a business fifteen years ago
would be mere drop in the bucket
for starting a business enterprise to-
day.
The business talent that was re-
quired to conduct a business success
fully fifty years ago would not meet
the requirements of the colossal sys-
tens of to-day. The rewards are
greater now than they were then. but
greater effort must be put forth to
secure them.
In times past man could let his
business educate him. Now you must
educate for the business, for expert
ence is too dear and too slow a teach.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL.

At the February term of the Forrest
County Board of Supervisors it is I'M
derstood that a committee from the
local chapter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy and delegation
of Confederate veterans will again
ask for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the erection Of a monument in court
square.
When this matter was suggested
several weeks ago. The News ex-
pressed the opinion that the appropri-
alton should be devoted toward the
erection OF a Confederate memorial
library, instead of a marble statue.
This view has been endorsed by
great many citizens and the state
press has commentei on the plan with
uniform favor.
The News has no objection to the
erection of shafts Of marble to per
petuate the memory of our illustrious
dead, but it has occurred to us that
a memorial library would not only
serve this purpose, but that it would
deserve and perpetuate in imperish-
able history the part which the South
took in the memorable conflict be-
tween the states.
The building could also be con-
structed SO as to provide a place for
the priceless battle flags and other
relics of the Confederacy, and these
would be highly 9rized by future gen.
erations.
We all know that $4,000 would not
be sufficient 10 cree. a creditable H.
brary building, but with a free site
and liberal contributions from our pa
triotic citizens the building could be
erected, and We 5elioyo that the low.
ers of Southern history would con- !
tribute hundreds of volumes to the H.
brary equipment
The establishment of such a library
would afford employment to at least
one worthy Confederate veteran.
while its reading rooms would amuse
and entertain the rest of them so long
as they are permitted 10 live among
us.
The News would like TO have ev.
pressions from the people Of Hatties-
burg-and especially the veterans
themselves-on this question.

at that post. He was one of the best
known and most popular officers on
the Pacific coast.
He is justly entitled to the honor
conferred upon him. During the great
calamity that befell San Francisco in
April, 1906, he was one of the first to
rise to the emergency of the situation.
He threw the hospital open to the suf-
fering people, and at the same time
had tents erected all over the grounds
in front of the hospital. Night and
day Colonel Torney and the surgeons
under his command labored to relieve
the sufferers.
