BUSY Times IN
POLICE COURT
Large Crowd Of Whites, Blacks and
"YaIlers" Were Getting over
Christmas In Usual Way.

Il like my fun, but oh, you Judge!'
This sentiment was expressed on the
countenance of some score or more
of Christmas jewellers in the city
court this morning, and for about two
hours Judge Davis was kept busy
handing out Christmas presents to a
variegated assortment of blacks,
whites and "yallers."
None of the culprits, however, were
charged with serious offenses, some of
them merely having partaken of a
little too much Christmas JOY"
while some others had more money
than they could spend and gambled
it away, while few were accused of
being vagrants.
A majority of the accused settled
the small fines assessed against them,
while others who were less fortunate
will have to contribute of their labor
to the maintenance and improvement
of the city streets.

Says It's Disqraceful.

In his report Mr.. Hull stated that
the most serious trouble with the
building was the roof, and character
ICES it as 1.-The most disgraceful piece
of framing" that he ever saw. The
report makes suggestions as to how
the building might be repaired and
made as good as new, but does not un-
dertake to recommend this course to
the trustees or the city council. leav-
ing that matter entirely to the judg-
ment of the gentlemen composing
those bodies.
This afternoon the Council and
Board of School Trustees were called
in special session to take action on
TIE matter and reconsider the coun-
ellis recent order to abandon the
school, the decision of which question
had been withheld until Mr.. Hull's
report had been received.

BIG LUMBER MILL
Will Be MOVED
Great Southern Company to Trans
fer it's Plant From PearIhaven
to Columbia.
Special to The NeUS.

Special to The News.
Jackson, Dec. 27.-It is learned
from semi-official sources that the
Great Southern Lumber Company,
better known as the Goodyear syndi-
cate, has practically decided to trans
fer its big plant at Pearlhaven to Co
lumbia, in order to have the estab-
lishment nearer the source of the
timber supply.
Only portion of the machinery OF
the Pearlhaven plant will be trans
ferred, however, as the syndicate in
tends to build much larger mill at
Columbia, and the size of the estab-
lishment depends largely on whether
the legislature will consent to amend
the corporate holding clause of the
code, increasing the maximum
amount of property that may be held
by corporations.
The Goodyear interests own or con-
troll over $4,000 acres of virgin pine
lands east of Columbia, asd that
point is unquestionably the logical
location for the saw mill, especially
in view of the fact that surveys have
been made and plans formulated for
the construction of a branch line OF
the New Orleans and Great North
ern road for these timber holdings.

NO CAUSE ASSIGNED
FOR The TRAGEDY
Man Was Dangerously Injured and Is
Now In South Mississippi Infirmary-
Does Not Know Who Shot Him Or
Why It Was Done.

At o'clock yesterday evening an
unknown dago, who had been in the
city only few days. was shot and
dangerously wounded, in the vicinity
of 700 East Pine street.
The man, who can speak no word of
English, is said to have no idea
who shot him or why it was done. He
related to some of his countrymen
that on Sunday night, about six o'clock
he was walking along the street in
the vicinity of the place where he
was stopping, at 700 East Pine street,
when he was attacked and shot by
an unknown man. He stated that at
least eight shots were fired at him,
only one of which took effect. The
bullet penetrated the left side of the
abdomen, and inflicted an apparently
dangerous wound.

reported from other parts of the state,
prove conclusively that the conser-
vative element in Mississippi realizes
the seriousness of the situation, and
will endeavor to unite on a candidate
for McLaurin's toga who will fittingly
and adequately represent their views.
Whether or not c. H. Alexander will
be the man remains to be proven, but
it is an undoubted fact that he is to-
day recognized as the most eligible
leader of the conservative element.
There are half dozen or more Of
equal coservatism and broad states
manship whose names have heretofore
been brought forward, and whose
qualifications are being earnestly es-
poused by friends and followers. Just
what actual strength they can muster
remains to be proven, and it is not
likely to become apparent until the
legislature convenes.

In Critical Condition.

The injured man, it appears, was
stopping with family of Dagos on
East Pine, but none of these appear
to know anything of his antecedents,
not even his name or where he came
from. He was taken to the South Mis-.
sissippi Inrmary for treatment, and at
this time his condition is said to be
extremely critical
The police are working on the case,
but from the meagre information in
their possession there appears to be
very little chance Of apprehending the
guilty party; and acquaintances Of
the unfortunate appear to be loath to
give out any of the particulars, If they
really know anything about the affair.

BUSINESS OF 1908
PRACTICALLY DOUBLED
Unabated Until Late '.our christ
mas Eve Night.

If there has existed in the mind OF
any Hattiesburg merchant or business
man a doubt as 10 the improvement OF
business conditions, this doubt has
been permanently expelled by the.
enormous trade enjoyed by them pre-
vious to and during the holidays.
In order to determine the extent of
the Improvement, News man this
morning interviewed a number of the
leading merchants of the city, and in
every instance the information OBJ
tanned was to the effect that business
this Christmas was fully fifty per cent.
better than at any time since the re-
cent panic, and almost, if not quite, as
good as before the hard times" came.
