A COMPROMISE IN
The HINDS CASE
Work on the Company's Railroad
Gives Color to the Report That
Agreement Has Been Reached.

Poplarville, Miss, Sept 30.-Al-
though it has not been made public
that the celebrated case against the
Edward Hines Company, seeking to
confiscate it's large tracts of lands in
this, pearl River) county, which was
brought by the state, has been compro-
missed, still there are some Indications
that point very strongly to that belief.
For several weeks past large crew
of men have been at work putting the
fifteen miles of track owned by the
company, which runs from Orvisburg,
four miles North of here, in South
westerly direction for a distance of
Is to Is miles, or about half way to
Bogalusa, La, in the best possible con-
dition, putting it up standard grade
and building trestles stronger and
heavier than those now in use in the
New Orleans and Northeastern rail
road, surfacing all the tracks and max.
ing it capable of handling regular pas
senger and freight trains. Nothing
can be learned from the officials of the
Hines Company who have the work in
charge, but as they have not rebuilt
their mill at Orvisburg, and have nc
use for this track unless they do, and
no use for such good track for any
purpose but to haul logs, the worl
has caused much speculation among
the people who have learned Of it.
It is the hope of the majority of th'
people in this town and county tina
the suit above mentioned will be set
tied and that Mr.. Hines will speedil.

holdings in this and adjacent counties

AN HISTORIC CLAIM
AGAINST The STATE

A historic claim of go cents against
the state was recently settled by
State Auditor E. ]. Smith, but not till
after years had elapsed and the man
who held the claim had spent more
than 81 for postage in writing the
state auditor and department of JUS
tice. But the claim has been paid.
This claim was for an overpayment
of state taxes or something of the kind
and could only be paid after the at
torney general or one of his assist
ants had passed upon the legality OF
the claim. This took about half a
day, which meant loss of money to
the state, while the state auditor spent
some time looking over the records,
which consumed several hours, to say
nothing of the time the man at the
other end of the line consumed in
writing about the 60 cents.
The date of the error goes back
several years, and came before the
state auditor about FIVE years ago.
There was mass of correspondence
over 1t, all of which was referred to
the department of justice. There have
been three attorney generals since

New Orleans, Sept. alphabetically
the entire plant of the Times-Demo-
crat Publishing Company, on Camp

stroyed by fire which originated short
ly before midnight in the paper ware
house on the first floor of the build
ing. 1t was only a few moments be-
fore the entire structure was envel-
oped in flames, and several employees
on upper floors had narrow escapes.
Other nearby buildings seemed
doomed at one time, but firemen sue
ceeded in confining the blaze to the
Times Democrat and to a warehouse
in the rear of the building, where the
damage was not great. Estimates
place the loss of the Times-Democrat
at more than $125,OO0, partly covered
by insurance. The paper is one of
the oldest and best known in the

placed their plants at the disposal OF

JEWISH new YEAR
IS near At HAND
"Yum Kippur" Will be Observed Tues.
day and Wednesday by All ortho-
dox Jews.

Tuesday and Wednesday of next &.
week will be celebrated the world over
by all Orthodox Jews as New Year.
The reformed Jews will celebrate only I
the first of the two days. This, ac-
cording to Jewish reckoning, will be
the beginning of the year 5671. The
day is usually inaugurated by blowing
of the trumpet, reminding the Israel
ties that new period of time begins.
Local Jews will close their places
of business on Monday evening and
open again on Thursday a. m. Dur.
ing the two days they will meet in
Odd Fellows' Hall and hold services,
conducted by Rabbi Margulois, Of
Chicago. The day of atonement be-
gins on the evening of September 18th
and continues during the entire day
following, during which time the Jews
Of Hattiesburg will hold continuous
services and refrain from eating any
form of food.
Rabbi Bottigheimer of Natchez, in
reminding his people of the recurrence
of this event, says:
at became the day of the blowing
of the trumpet-par excellence-re-
minding the Israelites that a new Pc
riod of time begins; and that no occa-
sion could be more appropriate for the
endeavor after a new life for amend
ment and reconciliation with God. It
was the day of memorial, when Israel
felt himself held by God in merciful
remembrance. But if Israel would
have God mindful of him, he must be
mindful of his responsibilities, to Him
and to mans higher nature. The sym
bolic act of sounding the shepherd or
rams horn, which is performed in the
synagogue in obedience to the Srcip-
turalprecept is intended to bring home
to the Israelites this aspect of the
lays meaning.
at is a solemn occasion, though no.
mournful one. 1t is a day of chast
ened memories, day of rejecting on
mans frailty of character. But be
meath this sombre sense of weakness
both physical and mooral, there lies
in the worshipper's heart the serene
; certitude of Gods justice and mercy

the worlds record of 4,50O feet.

THE Haskell Case
Town Lot Fraud Charge Against Ok
lahoma Governor Has Been Drop
ped by Authorities.

McAlester, Okla, Sept. 3O.-Con-
Tossing their inability to make out a
case under the restrictions imposed by
the Judge, Federal attorneys yesterday
took action that resulted in the drop
ping of the town lot fraud charge
against Gov. c. n. Haskell, of Okla
homa.
Judge Marshall ruled that the tes-
timony against Haskell must be con-
fined to evidence tending to show he
was guilty of conscious participa-
ton" in the alleged land frauds, ana
court was adjourned yesterday to al
low S. r. Rush, special assistant to
the Attorney General, to examine the
governments witnesses.
Today Mr.. Rush acknowledged that
it was impossible to proceed further
after such a ruling.
Governor Haskell and three other
defendants were charged in an indict'
ment returned by Federal grand jury
with conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment," in the disposal Of town lot
sites at Muskogee, Okla. 1t was
charged that by the false registration
Of the names Of persons scattered
over the country, they secured title
to about 600 lots. The dismissal OF
all of the cases today was attributed
by the government attorneys to theiI
inability to confine their proof to the
period of limitation as fixed by Fed
eral Judge John A.Marshall.

Utes, Navajos and Mex~en half
breeds have been travelling toward
their Mecca in their annual Pilgrim
age to the famous Indian shrine at
Taos. From the moment a black
robed Indian delivers long harangue
to the assembled hosts this morning.
until long after the setting of the sun
tonight, every hour will witness some
interesting ceremony of rite reminis-
cent of a century ago. Fantastically
clad figures of braves and squaws will
fit hither and thither in weird dances.
while feet-footed warriors will decide
their supremacy in the annual foot
races.
