MONTHLY ALLOWANCE
is NOW ONLY $4,000
Effort to Secure Removal to East
Pine Street.-Property Owners Are
Asked to Make Up the Difference
in Rent of Building.

1t is said on what seems to be good
authority that Hattiesburg's postoffice
will be moved again.
While 1t is not probable that the
removal will take place in the still
hours Of the night, as it did eighteen
months ago, it is said that the change
Of location must be made within the
next few weeks, and it would not be
much of surprise some fine morning
for Hattiesburgans to awake to find
Uncle Sans business domicied down
on Mobile street, out in Yellow Pine
park, or in some other remote sec
tion where rents are cheaper.
1t seems that despite the fact that
Hattiesburgans pay into the local
postoffic something more than 40,00O
a year, and that large portion of
this sum goes to the. profit side Of
Uncle Sans ledger, there Is an idea
prevalent at Washington that this is
a lonesome hamlet instead of bust
ling city of 25,OOO population.
At any rate, the postoffice depart
ment has passed the word along that
it will not pay more than $45 a month
for postoffice building in Hatties-
burg, and the places that 1t can secure
for that price in the business district
Of Hattesburg would not accommo-
date tamala stand.
The present quarters in the Kennedy
building were secured at that price
only because Mr.. Kennedy thought by
locating the postoffce there that he
would be able to rent the rest of the
building at better prices. But the Ken
nedy building has changed hands and
the new owners are not inclined to
make further sacrifices for the benefit
of the government, which ought to be
able to pay its own way.
1t Is said that efforts are being
made to locate the postoffice In the
Ferguson-Allen building on East Pine
street by circulating petitions asking
adjacent property owners to contribute
the difference between what the build
ing Is worth and what the government
is willing to pay.
But the impression prevails that
the government ought to be made to
nav for its postoffice facilities for the
people Of Hattiesburg. 1t Is believed
that if the government were compelled
to pay rents such as other people are
charged that it would greatly hasten
the erection of the proposed gov
ernment building, and there is logic
in this argument.
other government buildings, for
which appropriations were made long
after the allowance for this city, are
already IN course Of construction, and
Il is probable the fact that the gov
ernment is getting its rent in Hatties-
burg for almost nothing has had some
thing to do with the delay.
It Is up to Congressman Bowers to
get busy.

CASE OF The DEFENSE
IS GREATLY WEAKENED
Bennino's Testimony is Demolished
BY state witnesses.-PerIurer 10
Limited BY the Court.

Nashville. Tenn, March 6.-The
evidence Of both sides in the Cooper
Carmack trial is in, and only the ar
guments of the attorneys remain to
be heard before the case goes to the
jury. to be considered according to
the law and the evidence.
When court reconvened this morn
ing there was no intimation that the
end Of the most sensational trial in
the history of Tennessee, if not in
the entire South, was approaching.
The attorneys went about their work
as If only eternity could pass final
judgment in the case, and the answers
Of witnesses were drawn out method
ically, just as they were In the be-
ginning of the trial when every
whisper could be heard throughout the

STATES STRONG CASE.
The state has made out a strong
case. The fabric of the defense's tes-
timony has been hopelessly raveled
out and only the fragments remain.
Benning, the chief witness for the
defense, now languishes in the county
Jail with a charge of perjury opposite
his name on the docket of the GRIM
inal court, the warrant for his arrest
having been sworn out by the attor-
ney-general late yesterday afternoon.
Swearing that Senator Carmack
never came into the business office
of the Nashville Tennessean the aft
ernoon before he was killed, c. H.
Farrell today further impeached the
testimony of Witness Benning. Ben
ming, it will be remembered, swore
that he saw Senator Carmack IN the
business office Of the Tennessean a
short while before the tragedy. and
that Carmack gave him copy of his
newspaper.
General Washington, for the defense.
realizing the Importance of Benning's
testimony, made a frantic. effort to

an intelligent man and stands high IN
the community.

A murmur of surprise ran through
the courtroom. There had been ru.
