QUESTION
NOW FACES
CITY

Cement or clay pipe-which?
That is the question.
The sewer committee of the
council on Saturday night let the
makers of the two kinds of pipe
advance arguments on the two
materials.
1t took four hours and then
they did not get through, The
committee is going to the cement
pipe factory on the tidefats We'd
nesday afternoon to see test of
tine two pipes.
City Chemist Heinroch, who has
tested both pipes, insisted that the
cement pipe was just as good, If
not better, than the clay. James
Thomas, inventor of the glazed
cement sewer pipe, said the trou-
BILE was not with the cement pipe
but with the competition they
we're giving the clay pipe mono
poly. "As long as we were MAX
ing cement sewer pipe by hand
and not making enough to be a
competitor we heard nothing of
this menace to health business but
after IL months of work l invent
ed the machine which now turns
out cement pipe in large quantities
and, as We are taking a lot of
business FROM the clay pipe max
ers, they suddenly have discovered
cement pipe Is unsanitary," said
Thomas.
Joshua Peirce, Attorney B. w.
Conner and Others spoke for clay
pipe. They brought letters from
many cities where they claimed
cement pipe had been a failure.
The other side brought Just as
many letters from other cities
where clay pipes were fizzle,
so the councilmen could take their
choice.
Chemist Heinrich said as a mat
ter of fact no one makes perfect
pipe but that the cement was just
as good as the clay.

WANTS FAIR
PROBE

Herbert N. DeWolfe, the Taco

against the supreme court, alleg-
ing 1t has been biased in its decis-
ions, has sent a letter to Speaker
Meigs of the house asking that he
remove Representative Palmer of
King county, from the committee
to Investigate the charges because
of the prejudice of the latter.
He says Palmer, before hearing
the charges at all, openly stated
he would bring disbarment pro-
ceedings against De Wolfe; further
that Palmer was the strongest adj
vocate of the primary law amend
ment taking nomination of SUI
preme judges from the people and
also that Palmer, in the senate of
1905, fought to prevent the pas

the bill being objected to by
George Donworth, then attorney

BOSTON, July 3.--As pretty as
the poetic legend written about her
by Whittier is the actual story OF
Barbara Freitchie, the heroine Oh
Fredericktown, Md. Her flag, that
waved defiance at confederate
troops during the Antietam cam
paign, now is guarded In the 20
lumbus avenue armory here. IL
hears the marks of bullets fired at
IT by Stonewall Jackson's troops IN
September, 1852.
Whittier relates how, when Gen.
Jackson saw the flag, he said: [,
"Halt!" And the rebel troops stood
fast.
"Fire." And out blazed a rifle
blast.
Then Barbara, clutching the
shivered staff of the flag, waved
II in the generals face, prompting
him to say:
"Who touches a hair Of you gray
head
Dies like dog. March on!" he
said.
There is no historical record OF
any such occurrence, but 1t is a
fact that the old flag of Barbara
Freitchie was kept floating in view
of the confederate army, and that
1t was fired on by sharpshooters
with small success.
Gen. Reno, a union commander,
marched through Fredericktown
shortly after the rebels did, and
heard the story. He called on her
and asked to buy the flag. She
gave it to HON, and when, shortly
after, he was brought dead to
Boston from Baltimore, having
been killed at the bate OF South
Mountain, it was this flag whlch
was draped across the body.
Treasured with the flag at the
armory are a cane made from
wood of the old Freitchie home,
and photographs of her and the
headstone which marks here grave
in the Fredericktown cemetery.

investment which will pay as big re-

NATCHEz READY
FOR Big THE SHIP

NATCHEZ, Miss, May 19.-The
date for the arrival of the battleship
Mississippi at Natchez is Thursday,
May 20. Natchez has prepared a pro-
gramme of entertainment that will
keep the officers and crew going from
Thursday evening to the following
Monday night. The ship starts for

Baker & Mcdowell Hardware Com
pany. The set consists of punch
bowl of hammered copper with silver
applique resting upon solid silver trim
mings, eighteen crystal cups in silver
holders and a silver ladle.
The people of Natchez may well be
proud of their gift as it compares fav-
orable from an artistic standpoint
with even the state silver service. The
set is an original design and the man.
ufacturer states that there will never
will be another made like it.
The inscription upon the bowl reads
as follows: u. S. S. Mississippi,
from the citizens of Natchez, Missis-
sippi as a token of their admiration

health of both men has been eravely

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

There is a class of people who are
always trying to get something for
nothing and doing it in such a small
way that they are utterly contempt
Bile. This is especially true of people
who want to read a daily paper with
out giving something in return for it.
Since the present management of the
News has had charge, We have been
trying to find out who is getting the
paper and of course trying to collect
for it. Occasionally we have found
people who have been getting the pa
per for months without paying cent
and they seem righteously indignant
because our collector sends them a
bill. They have never subscribed or
stopped it long time ago" yet they
watch for the paper every evening
and read it just the same, if they had
done right they. would, at least after
week, have gone out and told the
carrier that they did not want the pa
per any longer and that would have
settled It,
We have made this very strong be-
cause the publisher of a newspaper is
at the mercy of a number of circum-
stances which makes it easy to lose
money and one of them is that he
must depend on carrier boys who even
if they were always honest are for all
that, boys who forget their orders.
and leave paper after the circulation
man has ordered it stopped. yet peo-
pie will allow the boy to leave the
paper month after month, will read
it and loan it to their neighbors and
then refuse to pay for it.
1t costs money to produce a paper,
just the same as it does a hat or suit
of clothes or any other merchandise
product, and the publisher is surely
entitled to a little consideration from
the public, at least enough that after
the subscriber has quit paying for the
paper. that he or she as the case may
be, go to the trouble once or twice
to tell the carrier boy, to stop leav-
ng it, which will then relieve them of
Ill responsibility. If you are getting
he paper without paying for it, now is
he time to stop it by telling the car
Ter, that you are not paying for it and
We will stop the loss that accrues to
he Daily News Company, which can
OF afford to give it's papers away.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1909.
Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
VICTORY FOR CONSERVATISM.

The result of the attempt to lower
the passenger rates in Mississippi is a
great victory for the conservative
forces of this state and one which
plainly expresses the wish of the
whole people, if there ever was such
an expression recorded. There was
absolutely no demand for tampering
with passenger rates, and when the
Commission got the returns, they were
of such a character as to leave no
doubt in the minds of a majority of
the commission, that the people had
been studying this question and were
ready and willing to take the respon-
sibility of maintaining the present
status of rates indefinitely
1t is we think not out of place to
remind the railways that this victory
has been won by them be-
cause they have had on their
side the great business forces
of the state, which saw the injustice
of the proposed action of the Com
mission, but who in many instances
have been very much injured by the
mistaken policies of the railways,
which are as shortsighted sometimes
as the radical politicians, and they
should be ever mindful, that they can
more fully count upon the aid of the
business organizations of the cities of
Mississippi, if they will only show
their good faith in dealing with those
whom they serve in a business way.
In the present crisis, which the rail
roads have faced, Hattiesburg has
done her share in trying to secure
justice for the roads, and we regret
that we are reminded that some of
these. same roads, which have been up
pealing to Hattiesburg for help, are
discriminating against this city as I'M
justly, as it is possible to imagine and
by doing so are not only retarding the
growth of Hattiesburg, but the sur
rounding country as well May we

hope that they will now see the justice
of putting Hattiesburg on a footing
with other cities in the state and thus
prove that they can be just, after hav.
ing received justice.
Lest they forget, we quote the res.
olutions adopted by the Hattiesburg
Commercial Club.
The Honorable Railroad Commission,
State of Mississippi,
Jackson, Mississippi.
Gentlemen:-
Feeling that your honorable body is
devoting its best efforts to the service
of the public, and sympathizing with
you in your splendid work, and know
ing as we do, that it is your desire
that the people express their views to
you regarding public questions, and
thereby aid you in learning the desires
and will of the public; therefore, we,
the directors of the Commercial Club
of Hattiesburg, Miss, have passed the
following resolutions and beg to sub
NIT the same, with expressions of re-
spect and esteem:
Resolved, That the best interests of
the public of the State of Mississippi
will be best served by permitting the
present railroad passenger rates to
stand and remain UNCHANGED
Resolved, That the best interests
Of our commonwealth require that all
reasonable means be adopted to en-
courage further railroad building in
the state, that our people who are now
without nearby conveniences and ad-
vantages of the kind may hope for such
facilities within a reasonable length
of time, and thereby be placed in po-
sition not only to increase the output
of energy, but also to market their
products and receive Incoming sup
plies with ordinary economy and COM
fort, that they may obtain the bene
fit of the enhancement of value of
property which follows railroad build
ing. and that our commonwealth may
enjoy the benefit of the increase of
present values and of taxable prop
erty, which will result therefrom.
Resolved, That in as much as our
State legislature saw fit in its wis
dom, patriotism and far sighted bust
ness policy, not to require the rail- 4.
roads to sell tickets for local travel
at less than three cents per mile, that
no complaint can be offered from any
source against your honorable body il
you in your judgement see fit to order
no reduction of passenger rates."
