Mississippi Central Railroad Floats
Ten Million Dollars in Bonds, Which
Are Purchased BY New York Trust
Company.


A document involving the largest
financial transaction in the history |
of the city of Hattiesburg was filed
for record in the office of the chan
Gerry clerk yesterday.
The paper was filed by the Standard
Trust Company of New York, and is
a conveyancaHfroH the Mississippi

ton of ten million dollars. @.;'s--
The loan is evidenced by bonds of
the company dated July 1. 1903, and
maturing July 1, 1859, running for
period of fifty years and bearing IN
terest at the rate of 5 per cent, pay
able semiannually.
The purpose for which the loan was
obtained, as stated in the conveyance,
are for acquiring, constructing and
equipping the railroad, and more par
ticularly for the purpose of construct
ing line of road from Hattiesburg to
Scranton, or from Hattiesburg to Mo-
bile or to some point from Hattiesburg
to Mobile on the line of the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City railroad.
1t has been generally known for
some time that the Mississippi Central
officials contemplated extending their
line from Hattiesburg to Scranton,
preliminary surveys having been
made with the view to running the
line to deep water at Pascagoula Bay.
A bond issue for this purpose was
authorized by the directors of the
company, the bonds were placed on
the market with the result that the
Standard Trust company was the sue
cessful bidder.
The Mississippi Central already has

The local military company, official
ly known as Company l. will on next
Monday leave for Jackson for the an
nual encampment.
This company has made wonderful

worked undef gdversities, it is be-
lieved that it yin soon be one of the
strongest numerically in the state
and none will be more proficient 10

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The News understands that an eff
fort will be made to secure the next
encampment of the Mississippi Nation
al Guard, in this city and hopes that
it will be successful. The enoamp-
ment is a state event of more import
ance than anything else that occurs
in Mississippi and it will not only
be a paying proposition to the city
from a momentary standpoint, but it
will increase the Importance of Hat
tiesburg in many ways. 1t is well
known fact that there are thousands
of Mississippi people who know little
or nothing about Hattiesburg and as
the encampment not only brings the
members of the National Guard, but
hundreds of their friends it will be
the means OF enlightening thousands
of people about our city By next sum-
mer Hattiesburg will have all the ac-
commodations that will be necessary
for the encampment. The street car
line will be in operation and it will
no doubt be extended so that it will
accommodate those in the camp as
we'll as the visitors. There are ample
grounds for the manoeuvers and IN
fact everything that is required FOR
the convenience of the Guard. Hat
tiesburg has two of the Oldest mem
Il A
mont and Virgil Jones, the latter Is
senior Colonel of his regiment.
The officers will carry an urgent in
vitation to the National Guard to meet
in Hattiesburg next year and If neces-
sary a committee will be sent to Jack
son to present a more formal invita-
ton and the News feels sure that II
will result in securing the encampment

and the w. L. Douglas Shoe Co. has
been settled. By the terms of the
agreement the union wins practically
every contention. Douglas resumes
the use of the label, the wage scale
will be what the union insisted it
should be before the trouble, and Doug
las will again center his manufactur-
ing business at Brockton and give un-
ion men every preference.
1t developed during the course of
the negotiations that Mr.. Douglas had
left the whole matter to subordinates,
and that they had caused the trouble.
AS soon as Mr.. Douglas took hold OF
affairs there was an end to all the
controversy.
The settlement is a distinct victory
for President Tobin and Vice Presi
dent Loveley, and it puts their oppon
ents up against it in the matter OF

Crafts in Lincoln That Should get Into
the Union Fold.
There are several crafts in Lincoln
that should be organized, and it is
high time that the American Fedora
ton of Labor gave some attention to
this part of the country. Twice within
the last seven years an organizer of
the Federation has appeared in Lin
coln-and he actually spent two hours
on one visit and about halliday on
the other. Apart from this absolutely
nothing has been done along the lines
of organization work in the second
largest city in Nebraska by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
There are upwards of $50 people
engaged in the garment making in
dustry in Lincoln. No attempt has
ever been made to organize them.
There are upwards of 100 people
in Lincoln working in laundries. No
attempt has been made at organiza-
ton for the last seven or eight years.

clerks working in Lincoln, but no
attempt at organization has ever been
made.
The sheet metal workers are unor-
ganized, although there are enough OF
them in the city to maintain strong
union.
The freight handlers used to have
an organization in Lincoln, but it pet
cred out about five years ago and has
never been revived, chiefly because
no effort has been made in that di-
rection.
There is a big field for organization
work right here in Lincoln, and the
internationals of the crafts mentioned,
together with the American Fedora
tion of Labor. ought to get busy.

The Central Labor Union met Tues
day evening at Bruse's hall, and while
the attendance was smaller than usual
considerable business of Importance
| was transacted. 1t was decided to
have delegate at the Toronto conven-
| tion if possible as it was deemed nee
essary to have some one on the ground
to help protect the interests of loyal
lot of unionists now in trouble. Will
M. Maupin was unanimously elected
to the position.
The announcement that meetings
are already being held in the Labor
| Temple was greeted with applause
and the Central Labor Union will hold
it's first November meeing under the
roof of the unions. Rent for Bruse's
hall was ordered paid until January
1, 1910.

sociation directory present reported on
the progress of the work and con-
siderable interest was manifested
A report for the American Fedora
tion of Labor was filled out. 1t shows

city, two not affiliated, not including
the railroad brotherhoods, and six
trades that are not organized, but
might be with proper effort The
average hours for the various trades
was fraction over 9, and the aver
age wage fraction over $3.50 per day.
1t is the hope of the faithful dele
gates that when the central body be-
gins holding regular meetings in the
Labor Temple the attendance will be
much larger. There was but hand
full at Tuesday nights meeting, and
as a result there was an air of chilli
ness about the whole of the proceed
ings. Trades that should be repre-
sented by live delegates because of
self interest were unrepresented. 1t
was explained, however, that the at
tendance would have been larger were
it not for the fact that a number of
men were working at the Labor Tenn
