TRADE WEEK.

Hattiesburg is larger city than
even its wide-awake merchants seem
to think. A town is large by COM
parison. In the thickly settled East,
Hattiesburg would be small town;
but in sparsely settled South Missis-
sippi Hattiesburg is big place, be-
cause there is none other so large.
Hattiesburg therefore ought to take
on city ways, and adopt city methods
If it pays other cities to have Trade
Weeks, why would it not pay Hatties-
burg merchants to have Trade Weeks?
In other cities they offer to pay
railroad fare to all customers who will
come on certain day or during a GER
tain week, and buy so many dollars
worth of merchandise. The purchaser
is not required to patronize one store
exclusively, but must buy from the
stores making the offer, and the total
purchases must amount to the sum

portation.
This method has proven good
tonic for trade. People just naturally
like to get something for nothing, and
in these cases they do actually get
their rides free. They will think
things to buy, and when they come
they will see things they had not
thought Of.
Trade Week in Hattiesburg, for
towns say within radius of fifty
miles, we believe would pay. Don't
you think it worth trying, Mr. Mer-
chant? We suggest that the Retail
Merchants Association take the ar
rangement up and appoint the first or
second week in December as Trade
Week in Hattiesburg.

RIGHT WAY TO Deliver BLOW
Man Coached by Champion Pugiiist
Tells How Action Should Be
Effective.

With one swift, straight right to
the jaw, the little man had knocked
the big, fat bully out completely.
Now he was Boosting modestly
about the matter.
81 learned how to hit" he said,
"from Gentleman Jim Corbett. Gen
tlenan Jim claims that in street
fighting. if you land one clean right,
you win. But few men know how to
hit out straight and clean. They
swing. And a swing is no good be-
cause it can so easily be lodged.
"To hit out with the right,
straight and swift-this is how jim
taught me to do it. You step for
ward with your left foot towards the
enemy; you hit straight out with
your right arm as hard as you can,
at the same time showing your body
forward and pushing off with the
ball of your right foot as though
you were going to shove the whole
earth from under you.
"That is how to land a straight
right. 1t is easy, and it wins every
time"

Memphis is moving slowly but
surely in the matter of owning and
controlling these public utilities The
people are being educated to their
rights and advantages. Unless we
much mistake, during the next two
years the city will step ahead few
paces," says the Memphis Scimitar.
Public utilities" may include any
or all natural monopolies," such as
water companies, light, power, street
cars. etc. Will Hattiesburg "step
ahead few PAGES" or will it lag
gard be in the march of progress
Nothing is done today as it was
years ago. Houses are not built the
same; farming Is not done the same
way; travel is different; the style of
your clothes and the cut of your
beard are different. A progressive
city must step ahead a few PAGES"
now and then, else it will cease to be
a progressive city.

common for the whole truth to appear
in the marriage ceremony. But why
is it thus arranged? Why should a
formula be gotten up that couples
downright lying or the making Of
strenuous promises that don't stand
three chances in ten of being carried
out?
All the high-toned marriages con-
tracted for mercenary or society reas-
ons are frauds, and known as such
by the officiating minister, who takes
.his fee with smiling face, swallows
the infamous promises to love and
cherish, and Endorses the certificate
with his name and some costly per-
fume, when he ought to drench it with
formaldehyde.-Jackson News.

that would likewise be growing some.

We believe Hattiesburg will do
something in the way of advertising
itself to the world in the not very
distant future. We do not believe the
Commercial Club will give the people
any rest until they do something.
In forming their plans and making up
their budgets, we wish to earnestly
suggest to them not to take too many
bites at the cherry" And, if possible,
not to travel too closely along well
beaten paths. Open up when you open
up, on big scale, and try and have
something original and new, enticing
and inviting, in your proposition. We
hope they will consider seriously the
feasibility and practicability and adj
visibility of combining with other
South Mississippi Commercial clubs,
and promoting a great FREE HOME
STEAD movement, by GIVING AWAY
one or two or three hundred thousand
acres of land, upon certain conditions,
to bona-fide home-seekers and farm
ers, who will come and occupy the
land and till the soil, and by the
sweat of their own faces make two
blades of grass, or two blooms of
cotton. or two heads of cabbage. or
two hills of potatoes grow where, one
or none grow now. Some big thing like
that would attract frequent notice
from the Associated Press and other
great news gathering and news dis
seminating associations. and that
would put the papers of all the coun-
try to talking, and that would put
the peopel to thinking and reading.
and the great stream Of immigration
now going every summer and fall to
Oklahoma and other Western States,
could be diverted in a large measure
to South Mississippi; and Hattiesburg
is the center and natural metropolis
of South Mississippi. Lay your

Today rides slowly;
Sad heads bend Iow-broad shoulders droop
Where Death lies holy;
And there tears in weary eyes
As rain from winters weeping skies
Where every sobbing. southwind signs

Tn Chief has fallen! Halt the Guard
For voiceIess prayer;
Loves last pale lilies the sward
Above him there;
And through the lonesome pines that sway
Above his rosecrowned rest today
Lies lost winds whisper their way
Loves deep despair.
What the crime for which he died
In unfair fight?
Foul Crime! He dared through Faith and Pride
To stand for Right
And by coward heart and hand
"shot in the back'-he leaves his band
shadow in the Lonesome Land
OF starIess night.

curtlss' AeropIane Wrecked.

New York.-A frightened amateur
sitting like a wooden man, went up
Sunday in Glenn Curtiss' aeroplane,
which hovered moment in mid-air.
and then crashed to the earth. The
beautiful craft in which Curtiss made
his remarkable flight yesterday was
badly wrecked. When the would-be
aviator was lifted from the twisted
frame he was delirious, his left arm
was broken and his body bruised. His
injuries, however, are not serious.
The accident occurred at Heamp-
stead plain. Mineola, where Curtiss
has been giving demonstrations for
the New York Aeronautic Society. to
which he recently sold his aeroplane
for $4,000. 1t was a member of the
society, Alexander Williams, forty.two
years old, who was injured.
While Williams had driven MANY an
automobile and is familiar with gas
engines, he seemed to lose complete
control of himself as the aeropIane
scared upward. When 1t had attained
a height Of thirty feet the craft ca
reened sharply to the right, swooped
toward the earth, and, striking on end,
turned completely over, then rolled on
its back. Williams remained pinned
to his seat until lifted out.

LAST OF DAVIS
FAMILY is DEAD
MRS. HAYES, DAUGHTER OF JEF.
FERSON DAVIS, DIES AT COLO.
RADIO SPRINGS, COLO.
AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
HIGHLY HoNoRED THROUGHOUT
THE SOUTH AS THE DAUGH-
TER OF THE coNFEDERAcY.

Colorado Springs.-After a brave
battle with death, lasting over a peri
ID of several months, during which
she was confined to her room, Mrs.
Margaret Howell Davis Hayes,
The Daughter of the Confederacy,"
only surviving child of the late Presi.
dent Jefferson Davis, and wife of J.
Addison Hayes, died at her home, S32
North Cascade avenue, this city, of a
complication of diseases, at O'Clock
Sunday evening. She was fifty-four
years old and for twenty-four years
had lied in Colorado Springs. Mr..
Hayes is president of the First Ma.
tional Bank of this city and is one
of the most prominent financiers of
the West
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes were married
about thirty years and are well known
both in and around Richmond, Va.
and in Louisiana. In addition to her
husband, Mrs. Hayes is survived by
four children-Jefferso Hayes Davis,
William Hayes, Miss Lucy Hayes and
Mrs. Varina Webb, wife of DR.. Gerald
B. Webb, all of this city. jefferson
Rayes Davis; who is twenty-one years
old, was originally called Jefferson
Davis Hayes, but through special en-
actment of the Legislature was al.
lowed to change his name in order
to perpetuate the name of his illustri-
GUS grandfather. He graduated from
Princeton University two years ago
and is now home on a vacation from
a postgraduate course at Columbia.
His brother, William Hayes, is two
years his junior and is a student at
Princeton.
Miss Lucy Hayes is one of the most
prominent members of the younger
exclusive social set in Colorado
Springs and vicinity, as is Mrs. Var.
ma Webb and her husband, Dr. Webb.
DR.. Webb returned about year ago
from an extended trip abroad and
brought with him the results of ex.
tended experiments in bacteria.
Mrs. Hayes was born in Louisiana,
near New Orleans, and received her
early education in the South. Coming
from the first family of the proud old
South, and receiving her finishing ed
ucation in the finest private schools
of the cotton states, she later came to
Colorado Springs with her husband
during it's early days.
Mrs. Hayes was prominent in
church and philanthropical circles and
bestowed numerous benefactions, all
with the same unostentation that
marks the entire family. Mrs. Hayes
was extremely averse to publicity, and
after her death today Nr. Hayes gave
out brief statement of three or four
lines containing the bare announce
ment Of her death.
Miss Winnie Davis of Louisiana the
elder daughter of the late President
jefferson Davis, died about four years
ago, and her title as the daughter OF
the confederacy was then bestowed
on Mrs. Hayes, who made trip South
for that purpose and was formally
given the title by the various confed-
crate organizations. Her mother, Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died In New York
about two years ago.

Church as SmuaaIers, Cave

Owing to the presence of the fleet in the Thames, Canvey island has had a great influx of good class visitors. Everybody visits the one little church with it's many stained glass windows, . hich Is famous for some amazing smuggling exploits.
 The present vicar, the Rev Watson Hager, M. A., relates how within the last half century, before he was ap- pointed, the church was served from the mainland village of Benfieet. The bishop of the diocese had arranged for 26 services to be conducted during the year, intending of course that they should be held fortnightly.
 Instead, however, they were held consecutively, so for six months of the year the church was never opened. Taking advantage of this extraordin- ary state of things a band of smug- glers used the building as a very safe hiding place for storing kegs of rum, bales of tobacco, laces and other con- traband goods.
 Some of these daring smugglers ard still living on the island-London M. A. P.

loaded weighed 3A tons. The driving wheels. which were the foremost of the pair, were four feet 8115 inches in. diameter, and the cylinders, placed outside on the sides of the firebox. were eight inches in diameter with stroke of 161a inches. But the chief feature which undoubtedly contrib uted more than anything else to the success of this crude-looking machine was the tubular boiler with which it was fitted. These tubes greatly in- creased the evaporating power of the boiler and enabled the engine to run at higher speeds without getting short of steam. The Rocket Is now to be seen in the South Kensington mu- scum, having. however, undergone several alterations from it's original state. Some idea of the size of this engine compared with one of our modern giants can be obtained when we find that the total weight of the Rocket was not half as much as is carried on one of the driving wheels of the Great Bear
 The natural outcome of Stephen sons success was the appearance Of many other engines of various de- signs. and embodying some queer ideas. As. however, the railways be- gan to spread over the country and the great trunk lines to be formed, so the work of the locomotive grew heaY- fer and development became essential to cope with the increasing traffic and to meet the demand for faster trains.
 The latest development of locomo- tive building on our railways is shown in the illustration of the Great Bear. This engine, which was con- structed last year at the Swindon works of the Great Western railway to the designs of Mir c. J. Church ward, Is the biggest running in the kingdom. It weighs in working order S7 tons, and with it's tender 143 tons: it has four cylinders, all 15 inches by 26 inches, and driving wheels six feet eight inches in diameter. On account of the great size of it's boiler it Is carried on 12 wheels, so that the ex- tra weight is spread out over a longer wheel-base and the strains on the per manent way and bridges are not in- creased. When we compare this non- ster with its predecessors a4 70 or so years ago some idea of the vast change and development that has taken place in the steam locomotive can be realized. The iron horse has indeed revolutionized the social and commercial life of the world and in its present form represents perhaps the greatest of the many triumphs of steam.-J. R. Bazin.
