SATURDAY. OCTOBER %, 1909
Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
A FINANCIAL WARNING.

Good times are coming a ''leetle toe
fast" to suit our English cousins. Tho
world is borrowing too much gold;
and the gold reserve of the Bank ct
England is being drawn on a triflt
too freely; hence the staid, conserve
tive institution, the biggest, tbe
strongest and perhaps the best mau
aged financial institution in the worl'
raised its rate of interest just trifle
in order to stop the outflow of its
precious gold.
The rate was raised Thursday to ]
per cent. This is the highest rate
charged since 1907. The raise eff
fected American securities some; bui
not to the extent of interfering with
general dealings. 1t may effect the
price of cotton; but not materially if
at all. Because cotton Is a staple
and necessity which II the gamb-
lers would let it alone, would regu.
late It's own price by the legitimate
law Of supply and demand.

One ching be sure to remember. in

One thing be sure to remember, in
discussing this proposed tax raise:
Every man has right to his opinion
and no man has any right to get mad
at any other man for expressing his
opinion. Keep cool; reason calmly,
and do what is best for Hattiesburg
In our opinion, the best thing to do
for Hattiesburg, is to vote the tax raise
and build the Park and take the best
care of all the interests of this
magic little city. How did it get
the name of "rsgic?" Was 1t not
by spending money and continually
doing something? If it expects to
keep on growing it must keep on do
ing. Whenever it stops spending
money and doing things, it will-well
it wont exactly stop growing. but
it will just creep along. Creeping
along has not been the Hattiesburg
spirit in the past, and we hope will
not be in the future

HAISfIELO'S STOCK
IS GOING RAPIDLY
And His Faith in Use Of Printers
Ink Greatly Strengthened BY
Results.

NJ S. Haisfield has had shelving
put in about one-half of his store pre
paratory to entering a new line of
business as soon as he can sell ous
his large stock of furniture. The
furniture stock is disappearing rapid
ly under the factory prices and at
the present rate it will be only ques,
ton of few weeks before Mr.. Hais-
field has the furniture stock practi-
cally sold out. Os the stock is re-
duced, more shelving will be put in
and the new line of goods installed
for the new BUSINESS.
Mr.. Haisfield is highly delighted
with his advertising in the News, and
while he has always been a strong
believer in printers ink, his faith has
now been strengthened by his expe-
rience with News advertising the
past month.

The proposed one mill tax is not
intended to be perpetual tax; it is
tax to build the Park. After the
Park is completed, then it is estimate |
that its concessions will nearly if not
quite make the Park self-supporting.
The whole amount involved so far as
the Park is concerned is only about
$500. Those who think Public
Park will not be worth that much to
Hatties5urg, ought to vote against it.

One big argument used against the
tax raise is that the Traction COM
pany will make big money off the
Park patronage. To our mind that
is contamination devoutly to be wish
ed. For more reasons than one.
First, if the street cars do not make
money OF Of something, they will take
30 their sheds some sweet day, and
stay there. Secondly, If the street
cars make money from the Park pat
ronage, then the Park itself will be
r success. There are two sides to
this question. The street cars are as
necessary to the Park, and more so,
Than the Park is to the street cars.
The truth is, united we stand, di-
vided w4fall." The way to build up
1Iattiesburg is to help build up every
enterprise In it. Suppose you kill the
tax ordinance; and by that same vote
you kill the Park; and by that means
you kill the street cars. How many
votes like that would it take to kill
thupuwn?

FAMOUS QUARTETTE IS COMING HERE
 JANUARY l3
To Play at North Church Under Auspices of Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club.

1 The members of the Wednesday Af- | ternoon Musical club are exceptionally | fortunate to have at their musical on | Wednesday afternoon January 13, one of the most celebrated quartettes ever | heard in this country. The musical 1 is to be held at the North Church. ! The quartette to play for the club is | the Flonzaley Quartette of stringed in struments and aside from being fla nous as a quartette is also unique in | it's make up.
 1 The Flonzaley Quartette was organ | ized in 1903 by MT. E. J. de Coppet, l the owner of a beautiful residence in 1 Switzerland, "Flonzaley Villa" on Lake Geneva. From this villa the quartette took it's name and the fame 1 of the sOirees given there soon spread. | AS result short tours of Switzerland, Germany and Holland were underta- ken with marked success. Last season the FlOnzaleys made their first Am erican tour and everywhere aroused the greatest enthusiasm. This quar- tette is to-day recognized as one of l the most remarkable chamber music organizations in the world. It is said to be the only Strign Quartette in eXls- tence whose members devote their en- tire time to ensemble work, neither tea ching, accepting solo engagements, nor pldy1uS III OTCleSlIdS AS tllS IC- suit of this devotion to a single pur- pose a degree of technical perfection has been developed that places the Flonzaleys in a class by themselves. Though it's members are of three nationalities, all are of the Latin race while three have studied under the same master Cesar Thomson, the fa- nous ViOlinist. Thus by common heritage and special training they are admirably equipped for ensemble work.
 The instruments played by the artists
 were placed at their disposal by MT. de Coppet and are of the greatest value.
 The members of the quartette are Adclfo Betti, first violin, Alfred Pochon second violin, Ugo Ara, viola and dwan d'Archambeau, d 'cellist.
 After devoting the entire summer to
 practice in Switzerland, the Flonzaleys
 have given about forty concerts in
 Europe, three of them in Berlin. The
 first concert of their American tour
 will be given in New York, tomorrow
 evening, after which they, will give per-
 formances in Boston, Chicago and the
 other large cities of this country

REPUBLICAN CAUCUsEs TONIGHT
Brooks for Senate Presidency - Banks
 For Speaker.

For Speaker.
 Hartford, Jan 5.-The Republican caucuses will be held this evening. The senatorship question will be in the air, but the caucus for that selection cannot be held until next week.
 The live questions tonight will be the president of the Senate, the speak CT of the House, the chaplains of Sen ate and House, and the various subor- dinate positions.
 It is generally conceded that the presidency of the Senate will go to Senator Brooks of TorringtOn.
 In the House there is brisk con test on for speaker. Although Dr. George H. Knight of Salisbury is in the field, it is generally conceded that the fight is between Judge Banks of Fairfield and Judge Malone of Bristol. The friends of each are cheerfully con- fident of success, but observers seem quite generally agreed that it will be Judge Banks, but Judge Malone's friends advise waiting till the votes are counted.

SOME LITTLE. FACTS.

A few of the little facts disclosed
from time to time by current events
and should receive some recognition
from the American voter: " TX "
In the last few months we have
learned that the tobacco trust takes
about 100000 q year out of the con-
sumner by means Of a fraudulent regu-
lation about packages. -,
That the sugar trust has swindled
the government out Of many millions
by tampering with the weighing scales
That the steel trust has been goug-
the nation by furnishing rotten armor
plates. - -.
That the beef trust has put up the
price Of meat three cents a pound be-
cause it needs the money to extend its
operations in Argentina.
That the cotton goods trust makes
from us profit of 20 per cent year.
That the railroad trust continues
to grant rebates law or no law.
That an income tax on the net earn
ings of gigantic corporations, and let
the corporate magnates go scott free,
would be delusion and snare, and
would only serve to increase the bur-
dens Of an already burdened class OF
consumers; for the corporations would
increase the price of products to
square with the tax.
