the pleasure of meeting that man in
Hattiesburg-a nice, clever well
dressed gentleman. He said that
about Hattiesburg he had seen some of

Great Thing For Hattiesburu.


If the proposed plans should be car
ried out, this will mean a great thing
for Hattiesburg. A direct line from
New Orleans to Chicago would neces-
sarily put this city on the main line of
the road, and would probably necssl-
tate the creation of new division.
with headquarters here. This would
necessitate the erection of shops, the
enlargement of yard facilities, the es-
Establishment of dispatcher's office,
division superintendent and train
masters headquarters. repair shops,
etc.
Hattiesburg is the logical point from
which to construct the proposed new
line. as it is the nearest feasible point
in Mississippi to New Orleans, and
would be in direct line with the pro-
posed extension northward to Chica-
60 Besides, line from this point TO
the Crescent City would traverse a
large and fertile territory where no
other road could compete for business.
and from all reasonable viewpoints
the project looks extremely favorable.
1t has been known for some time
that some radical changes would be
made by the new management of the
NJ. ]. & X. c., but not until today has
definite idea of what they proposed
to do been made nnown.

Donald and Camp.

Mayor Donald opened the discus.
sion with a strong talk on the neces-
sity Of having this work done at the
earliest practicable time and was fol.
lowed by Mr., H. A. Camp, who stated
that lie felt confident that if the pro
iect was carried out the problem as
to Hattiesburg's becoming a manurac.

solved Mr.. Camp said he felt sure
that good soft coal from the Warrior
river coal fields could be laid down in
Hattiesburg then about as cheap as it
is being laid down in New Orleans,
which is at So per ton. This, Mr..
Camp said, would be saving to Hat
tiesburg of about 40 per cent. in this
matter alone.
M. l.. Bixler emphasized the neces-

fort to develop tbs city and South
Mississippi. He said that men who
earned good salaries in the various
county and city offices here, and men
who did the same in other offices and
stores were as duty bound to back up
the Commercial Club, and to join it for
that purpose, as the bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers and others.
