ORGANIZATION OF
MOTHERS CONGRESS
MANY HATTIEsBURGANs WERE
IN ATTENDANCE ON OPEN
ING DAY.
Professor W. |. names and DR.. Donald
Were Among the Speakers.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss, July %.
The call meeting for the organiza-
ton of the state branch of the Con-
gress of Mothers met Tuesday
evening. If a beginning is fore
cast of things to come, then there is
glorious fruition awaiting the efforts
of this great work in Mississippi. The
meeting was by far the most enthus-
iastic so far of any during this session
of the Chautauqua.
The ever attractive Pitard Orches-
ira opened the evening with two pop
ular numbers. Mrs. Flood, the sweet
singer of Brookhaven followed with
a Lullaby as beautiful as it was ap-
propriate.
That prince of platform managers,
Hunt Cook then introduced the best
Citizen of Louisiana, Miss Sophie
Wright, who took charge of the exer-
cises. She preluded as she usually
does, with a prayer of thanksgiving
for the opportunity and plea for Di-
vine guidance and blessing on this oc-
casion. Her introductory remarks
were along the line of general informa-
tion as to what the congress is-its
aims and purposes. She then intro
duced the President of South Missis-
siDpi College. w. l. Thames. who
spoke on the Value of Organized
Motherhood. After most pertinent re-
marks on the necessity of organiza-
ton along all lines he led up to the
necessity of mothers organizing for
the good of the home and the child.
DR.. J. d. Donald, mayor of Hatties
burg followed with a strong plea for
a state reformatory. DR.. Donald pre-
faced his remarks with the apology
that he was not a public speaker. 1t
was but a moment however, before he
convinced his audience that his heart
was burdened with a message; and
such speakers are always eloquent
His plea will we are convinced, beal
fruit in the n0ar future.
DR.. Donald was followed by Mrs
Alice X. St Martin, recent state organ

YESTERDAY.


ATLANTA, Ga, July 22.-The brav-
cry of Sheriff Mckinney and three
lone deputies who, with drawn revol-
vers, faced a mob of 1000 angry men
today at Winnings, Ca, saved the life
of Will Webb, a negro, charged with
criminal assault. Webb had just been
identified by Mrs. Brown as the negro
who assaulted her. He had not yet
left Mrs. Browns residence after the
identification when the armed men
and boys, many of whom for two days
had been ranging through the woods in
search of him. determined on lynch
ing, surrounded the house They
shouted that the negro lies was theirs
and that the sheriff must hand him
over. Out came the revolvers of the
four officers, and with a rush, they
charged through the mob and leaped
into an automobile which they had
in waiting. Shouting "Stand back
to the mob and leveling their revol,
vers upon it's leaders, they drove out
of danger and rushed the negro to
Atlanta, where he was placed in the
Tower prison for safekeeping.

BROUGHT into PLAY

MADRID, Spain, July 22.-When the
Spanish troops were preparing early
today to leave for Malaga to reinforce
the Spanish garrison at that point the
families of the soldiers surrounded
the railroad station and charged the
police, with the object of preventing
the departure Of their relatives. A
desperate melee followed in which
the police used their swords and re

were wounded and many others were

R, E. HAUENSTEIN MAKES
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
Merchants Should Visit the Farmers
Who Do Business at This Market,
Get More Intimately Acquainted ana
Establish Friendly Relations.
To the Editor of the News

To the Editor of the News
have noted with much interest the
efforts of our people to have Bouls
street and River avenue paved SO tnat
our farmers might get to the city cas-
ier. 1t is a move in the right direction
but | wonder how many of our mer-
chants and business men know any
thing about how many farmers there
are in the vicinity of Hattiesburs o.
know where our farmers live. Would
il not be a good idea for our business
men to visit them occasionally, get
acquainted with them and encourage
them in their work? | have wondered
if if would not make the careless far-
mer take more pride in his work, II
he knew that the merchant or pus'-
ness man with whom he has relations
were likely to visit him occasionally.
Then an exchange of ideas would help
both for the business man would un-
derstand the farmers better. A ousl-
few days ago that he "coulo eat all
the corn that would be grown in For
rest county" With all due respect to
this business man, how can he appre-
ciate the necessity of good roads or
tbinl, much of the farmers trade
When asked if he had seen any of the
corn crops he said no and that ne
would not know in which direction to
go to find any. How could this man
boost this country; what could he

ing to know something about the
crops this season. Another party haV-
ing a special request to report as TO
the tap root of the cotton in this VI
cinity said that he did not know where
to 20 to find any.
There is lots of cotton in this county
which bids fair to yield bale to tha

to raise over two bales to the acre
Two bales per acre has been raised By
farmer on the NJ. C. Ry, not fal

acre field of corn near Hattiesburgf
that will average fifty bushels to the
acre. know of another piece of new
ground that will average 80 bushels.
The oat crop was very fine this year
and one farmer had me to send him
purchaser for baled oats.
Would it not be a good idea for the
mem5prs of the Commercial Club to
get together and visit the different
narts of the county? A few trips
would cover the territory. The farmer
likes to have you take an interest in
the country. A short time ago in COM
panv with a visitor and two business
men | made a trip out Eatonville way
We passed field belonging to one
of our leading farmers, in which the
crab grass seemed to have the corn
going. 1t had been raining too much'
but the farmer hated to have us see
that field of corn in that condition.

MOBILE HAS CURFEW
LAW FOR NEGROES.

MOBILE. Ala, July 22.-The police
commissioners today established cur
few law for negroes. Commencing
tonight all the blacks must be at home
or in bed at 10 p. m. Anyway, they
must be off the streets at that hour,
and any of them caught wandering at
large will be locked up and sent to
the police court to explain. This ac-
tion is due to an epidemic of holdups
perpetrated by negroes. Suspicious

# acres the amount of fence required

of acres the amount of fence required
would be hard to e"timate. The gov
ernment has had considerable Difficult
ty with the cattle which have been
allowed by the owners to roarl

repeatedly notified to keep Their
stock out, but the order has been
repeatedly disregarded. In the event
that an appropriation for fencing the

pound all stock found grazing there.
In speaking of the "tick'' situation
in this section, a cattle man said:
"a government tick inspector has
been working in this country for a
number of years and he, with a corps
of deputies, has been fighting the fe.
yer tick. Cattle in parts of the coun-
ty are creased several times a year
to kill the tick. If all the farmers
would grease their cattle about three
times a year the Texas fever tick
could be driven from this country in
a few years. This fight on the tick
has proved successful in Middle Ten
nessee and several counties have been
put above the quarantine line by the
hard work of the farmers and the cat
tie can now be shipped to northern
points and do not have to be killed
at once. The cattle can be sold as
grazers. By county being below the
line they cannot be shipped to north
ern markets. which bring from one to
four cents a pound more, but have
to be sent to Atlanta and other south
ern points. 1t can be readily seen
that the farmers are losing thousands
of dollars each year by having the
woods full of these ticks"

school BOARD
HAS A MEETING

There was a meeting of the city
school board last night at which many
things of interest were discussed, the
principal one being the matter of en-
ploying a teacher in Domestic Science.
Prof. Woodley had in view a Miss
Cora Burdick. of Milwaukee aAd the
board gave him authority to employ
her. but she wired this morning that
she had accepted a position in anoth-
er place, so Prof. Woodley will have
to find another teacher. Hs9j
Another matter discussed was the
failure of the city council to connect
the third ward school with the sewer.
This connection could have been
made last September. The sewer
comes up to the school grounds; the
water and toilets are all ready but
the sewer connections are lacking.
Unfortunately NE school board can
only recommend, or it would have
been done long ago. The matter i!
now up to the city council to order
the work done and the money is
available. Unless the work is done al
once the school board will have tC
take some action, for it is unthinkablt
that the present conditions shall con
tinue indefinitely.
