Last Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, March 2.-The last regu-
lar meeting of President Roosevelt's reg
ular cabinet was held today. There was
little business, the time being spent in
farewells and "reminiscences. The Presi-
dent expressed regret at parting with the
body and extended his best wishes. The
cabinet officers will follow the customary
course of turning in their designations,
which will be acted upon by the in
coming President as soon as his cabinet
has been confirmed by the Senate.
The President had very busy day.
He received hundreds of personal friends
and well-wishers. At 2:3o o'clock he re-
ceived the new minister from Hayti, H.
Paulouis Sannon who presented his Gre
dentia1s.
Directly after this meeting the Presi-
dent shook hands with several hundred
members of the Original Roosevelt club
of ST. Paul, headed by Hugh T. Talbert.
The latter he bade farewell feelingly,
and then followed the diplomatic corps
and their ladies. The reception was re-
quested by the corps.
At o'clock tonight the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt will dine with Secretary
and Mrs. Straus.

WORKING HARD ON
CROSS-ARM PLANT

Work on the extension of the cross.
arms factory, so as to have additional
room for additional machinery, is ma
king progress.
This is the plant with which Mr.. E.
e. Williams, of Buffalo, ~ Y, is con-
nected. Mr. Williams has been here
several days, but only a portion of
hisc novelty machinery plant has ar
rived, but the balance is expected any
day and the work will soon be COM
pleted and the novelty plant as well
as the cross-arms plant will soon
be at work. Considerable work is
being done in arranging things and
there will be but little delay in get
ting down to business.
Besides the large business that will
be done in the manufacture of cross
arms, the varied amount of novelties
that will soon be turned out will be
of great importance and add greatly to
the value of the plant. There will
not be a woodworking plant in the
state that will turnout such a varied
character of work.
Mr.. Williams has only been in HaU

long to make a number of friends.

FOR A COUNTY FAIR.

1t has been frequently suggested
that Forrest county have fair this
fall in order that the magnificent pos
sibilities of the cut-over lands of this
section might be made known to the
public
1t is now a splendid time to get
busy" on this proposition. 1t takes
considerable time to get up fair such
as Hattiesburg would desire to have,
for if one is held at all, it will be
found that the people want to make
it one of the best in the state, not even
excepting the state fair at Jackson.
1t has been wisely suggested that
almost all of South Mississippi could
be enlised in this enterprise. 1t would
really be a great advertisement for
this entire section of the state, be-
cause very few people at distance
know of the many things that the
lands will produce here.
Another reason why this should be
taken hold of at once is that it would
give an opportunity to the farmers of
this section to pay some little extra
attention to their crops and grow a
number of things that would not
otherwise be grown.
With the greater part of South Mis-
sissippi uniting in an enterprise of
this character, the success of the nm
dertaking would be assured. While
plenty of stock would likely be sub
scribed in Hattiesburg and Forrest
county, additional stock could be Sc
cured in other counties and there is
no doubt that it will be a financial
success.
Let the Commercial club and tn,
people generally get to work on this
proposition, so that it can soon be
known thai a great South Mississippi
Fair is to be held in Hattiesburg
this year.

Jackson, Jan. 12.-Messrs. S. t.
Carnes and F. G. Jones, of Memphis,
owners of the Jackson Street Rail
way, Light & Power Company, are
here for a conference with the city
authorities on the subject of street
paving.
In his inaugural message to the
new board of aldermen Mayor Crowd
er declared, in his opinion, the ex-
emption from street puving granted
by a former aldermanic body to the
street railway company was illegal
and suggested that court proceedings
be instituted to ascertain whether
the council exceeded its rights in
granting this exemption.
A majority of the members OF the
council are of the same opinion as the
mayor, and this has evidently caused
Messrs. Carnes and Jones much I'm
easiness. On yesterday they tele-
graphed to their local representatives
asking that a conference be arranged,
and stating that they would prefer
to first take up the matter with Mayor
Crowder.
Nothing short of a promise from
the traction company that it will bear
it's pro rata share of the expenses of
street paving will be satisfactory to
me-" said Mayor Crowder. 81 believe
the exemption granted by the council
was illegal, and If it is illegal the
courts will doubtless say SO. If, on
the other hand, the exemption is valid,
the courts will fully sustain Messrs
Carnes and Jones in their rights.
There is nothing in the matter to arbi.
trate. 1t is only question of whether
Messrs. Carnes and Jones are willing
to do what we want them to do"
