THE NEWEST MERGER.

A new merger has been completed.
A new trust, dominant in the field of
communication, which shares only
with transportation the distinction of
greatest economical Importance, has
been born. Assets running close to
billion have been consolidated and
capitalized, when the usual water has
been injected, will creep toawrd the
two billion mark.
This new telegraph and telephone
trust will control nearly 100000
miles Of single wire-6OO times around

one community, with the usual num-
Der of dependents, would make a city

A RAP AT CHIvALRY,

Because there have been frequent
cases of wife-beating in Atlanta, and
about ninety divorces sought on that
ground in the past month, a CORE
spondent of the Times-Democrat
writes, Atlanta judges have come to
the conclusion that Southern chivalry
is a myth. If there had been a thous-
and instances Of this merry pastime
in the "Gate City" in the past week,
and 1t is said to have become quite a
fad there, that would hardly consti-
tute an indictment against Southern
chivalry. Since when did Atlanta Sc
cure a monopoly on that spirit, or
even conspicuous share of it? When
the truth is told, Atlanta, in many
of the best senses, Is not a represen-
tative Southern town. Any how, it's
safe to say that Atlanta wife-beaters
don't represent what has ever stood
for Southern chivalry. Those Atlanta
judges needn't bother Southern chiv-
airy will abide. It is not dead, or dy-
ing, or even scored against by the
performance of a certain class of
people over there.-Columbus Com

GIVE US THE TRUTH.

A physician in Jackson has taken
exception to the exaggerated reports
regarding the hookworm in the South
on the ground that they are calcu-
lated to injure this section. He indi-
Gates that just as the South has be-
come emancipated from the yellow
fever, panics, etc., and has opened
upon a period of magnificent prosper
ity that scarecrow figures about the
hookworm are calculated to prevent
or check the tidal wave Of emigration
toward the South. -
Taking it all in all, DR.. Fulgham is
probably wrong, though he may be
partly right. 1t is true that the hook
worm is supposed to flourish best in
the South, but it seems from some
late reports that it may be almost as
prevalent in certain parts, at least, of
the North. 1t is not a pleasant subject
we admit.
II there is such a disease as the
hook-worm disease, North or South,
let the truth come out and let's go
after it and eradicate 1t. Facts, are
always hard enough to arrive at.
There is nothing so difficult to obtain
as the truth. II we have arrived
therefore at some small portion of
truth, let us make use Of it. 1t is bet
ter to have knowledge. of an unpleas-
ant fact and receive bequest Of
million dollars than It is to have an
insidious disease in our midst and
take no steps to remove it. By all
means give US the truth.-Gulfport

MUST DIG FOR IT.

No claim is laid by us to being
either a prophet or the son of a
prophet, but after gazing on other
sections of the country, we are more
and more deeply impressed with the
idea that people of the cut-over piney
woods belt have got to begin quickly
to doing more digging in order to
avoid the impoverishing conditions
that have caught those portions where
the digging vocations were neglected
till stern want drove to it. Now
it looks like surface digging, or
diversified farming is the thing. Later
Providence may reveal to the people
who stay after the timber has been
sent forth to the worlds markets,
that deeper digging will be more
profitable. Who knows but what un-
derneath the once pine-clad hills, lie
veins of oil and ore which will furnish
wealth incalculable from the hands of
an Advise Providence who has held
1t in reservation till a needy day.
There are numerous indications of
iron, coal and oil scattered all over
it. Greene comfy may not have yet
the indications Of the latter, but she
has present demonstrations of what
sensible diversified farming will do

THANKSGIVING
IN HA1I|ESBURG
Citizens Of HustIing City Pass the Day
Quietly, Peacefully and JOY
ousIy.

Thanksgiving was passed quietly,
peacefully and joyously by the people
Of Hattiesburg. The day itself was a
lovely one, bright and sunny, with just
enough crispness in the atmosphere
to make it thoroughly agreeable.
Nearly all the local churches held
special services which were we'll at
tended. Many of the younger genera
ton spent the day away from the
city, large delegation going to Jack
son to witness the Mississippi-A. & M.
football game. Others spent the day
in the swamps and woods Of other
counties hunting, while a few Of the
more ardent disciples of Isaac Walton
visited the rivers and creeks in
search of sport with the finny tribe.
The local picture and vaudeville
shows and the Lambrigger Animal
Show were we'll patronized throughout
the afternoon and evening and the en-
tertainment given by the ladies of the
Court Street Church and by the Kings
Daughters last evening were also
well attended.
Business generally was suspended
and happy and contented crowds
thronged the streets during the after
noon and evening hours.

AN EDITORS MISSION.

1t is a noticeable fact that the
very men who are always criticizing
an editor for lacking backbone are
men who never had an opinion them
selves, or If they did they never had
the courage to give it expression if
their opinion happened to be out of
public favor. Yet these men would
censure newspaper for not giving
publicity to something they them
selves are afraid to breathe above a
whisper. The mission of news
paper is to publish the news, and to
stand for all things that pertain to
the public good. It's purpose is not
to tear down. but to build up. Neither
is to run for the benefit of few to
the detriment of others. So before
you criticize the editor too severely
for not roasting somebody you ex-
pected him to, be sure your grievance
is not merely personal one.-Ya zoo

To the man who wants to take a
snooze at church, out of sight of the
preacher, the big hat has its advan-
tages; otherwise it is inexcusable,
and the preacher should insist that
It be removed. If the ladies-as they
all do-can remove their hats at the

ANOTHER BOY
DROWNED AT GARY
Drowning. of season In Region. :.

The first drowning fatality for the
year in Gary occurred yesterday after
noon about o'clock, when Emil Pc
trowski. 10 years old. was drowned in
the Calumet river, near the old Lake
Shore right of way, at the Kirk yards.
Petrowski with several other com
panions were swimming in the riven,
when suddenly the boy, who was just
learning to swim, was caught in a
whirlpool under the railroad bridge and
was carried under. Petrowski as he
was sinking cried out TO his compan-
ions. but they being inexperienced
swimmers. could lend no assistance.
Word was sent to the Offices of the
Kirk yards and they in turn notified
the local police. Chief aMrtin and Of
hcer Gus Newman with Jones ambul-
ance. hurried to the scene and togeth-
er with several other men. searched
for the body of the unfortunate lad.
The place where the boy was drown
ed Is an extremely dangerous one, as
1t is about fifteen feet deep and the
great amount of water passing under
the bridge at that spot forms a whirI-
pool. Officer Newman, who was diving
for the body, had great difficulty in
keeping his bearings and several times
narrowly escaped from being carried
into the whirlpool. After an hours
search with graphing hooks and div
ing the body was recovered by officer
Newman.
