had been taken, however, to close all
the avenues of safety and the entire

PALAMA HOSPITAL
TO CLOSE DOORS
Marks Last Month of Existence
by First Cure Made in Case
of Tetanus.

On the first Of september the Palama
Hospital viii close its doors and pass
into history. 1t has practically been
decided that this. one of the most eff
eient hospitals in the city, shall be dis
continued and while no definite arrange
ments have been made. statements yes
terday contain little hope of further
continuance
The Atherton Estate, which practic
ally supports the hospital and which is
said to put four hundred dollars month
" into it, has decided that the money
can be used 10 better charitable advan-
tage in other ways.
This hospital has proven a blessing to
the city in many ways, its sustained
charity being known n many places.
1t has also been the refuge for the city
health department as it has never failed
to cooperate with it whenever It became
necessary.
1t has celebrated its last month of
existence by curing one Of the worst
eases Of tetanus or lockjaw that has
ever entered it. turning away native
boy during the week completely restor-
ed TO health after almost dying from
this dread disease.
The boy was private patient OF
Doctor Mackall, and was the only one
ever cured in the hospital, and probably
in the city. When taken to the hos
pital it was impossible to get anything
larger than the point Of a lead pencil
between his teeth and his body was 50
stiff that he was picked up by the head
and heels as If he had been on a
stretcher. 1t was one of the few cases
where the serum has proven successful
and the attending physician and the
hospital attendants, who contributed
largely to the successful treatment, are
very proud Of it.
Doctor Mackall. speaking as the city
physician yesterday, stated that he
would be at a loss if he received a SINH
lar case after the Palama Hospital clos
ed down, particularly if II was a city
patient There Is no hospital IN the
city that is open to a tetanus case at
the present time except the Palama in
stitution and possibly the Home fol
Incurables, which is out of the question
for obvious reasons.

tetanus cases on the grounds that they
are infectious. the consistent policy Of
this institution being the refusal of al

Those who inspected the American

Manager Barbee for the company

for the construction Of the line He
reports that the line now runs as far
as Beaumont, and that it is hoped

The work was started about two

The company has already opened a
new exchange at Lucedale and is pre-

A Big Open MEETING
OF: commercial CLUB
Will Be Held On Monday Night
When Some Sort Of Arrange
ment Is. Expected To Be Made
Large Attendance Desired.

An open meeting of the Hatties.
burg Commercial Club has been
called for Monday evening at 1880
O'Clock, to be held at the court house
at which every business man in the
city, as we'll as others interested in
the future Of the city, is urged to be
present. Business of vital Importance
to the city will be brought up at the
meeting, and IL indications count for
anything. the fight that has been
waged for the last five years by indi-
viduals and the Commercial Club as
a body for more equitable freight
rates for Hattiesburg is about to
bring forth good fruit. Not only will
the matter of lower freight rates,
and how to obtain them, be gone
over thoroughly at this meeting, but
the settlement of the question of
whether Leaf river is to be made navi-
gable from Hattiesburg clear to the
coast Of the Gulf of Mexico depends
to a great extent upon the action ia
ken by the peopl of Hattiesburg
at this meeting.

Discrimination Unjust.

1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that the manufacturing inter-
ests, as well as the interests of the
wholesale and retail trade in every
branch of commerce all over South
Mississippi, have been given the worst
end of it, in the past in the matter of
freight rates-that unjust and unwar-
rantable discrimination has been
made against Hattiesburg especially
and the fight for what the mer-
chant, the manufacturer and the
wholesaler believe themselves Justly
entitled to in the matter of rates,
which has been waged almost inces-
sanity for five years, is about to bear
fruit.
The history of Hattiesburg's fight
for lower freight rates, and for the
recognition to which the city is en-
titled from the railroads, has been a
hard one, and every inch of the
ground has been covered thoroughly.
After an unsuccessful appeal to the
Mississippi Railroad Commission the
matter was taken to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but nothing
tangible resulted more than a lengthy
opinion handed down by the commits
sion, in which it appeared that unjust
and wilful discrimination was being
made against Hattiesburg by the rail-
roads. The commission expressed
itself as being powerless to interfere
under the laws governing the making
of rates. This decision had tenden-
cy to convince some that further ef-
fort was useless, but the fight has
never stopped, and it appears now,
that these persistent, untiring efforts
are about to be crowned with success.
Upon the action taken by the citi-
zens of the city at Monday nights
meeting, depends the settlement of
this long controversy.

AGITATION ABOUT
The old station
Again Brought Up-Northeastern Com
pany May Use Old Passenger
Station for Offices.

Acting upon the suggestion of a
number OF Hattiesburg citizens, a rep
resentative of The News called on
Agent Singleton of the Northeastern
railroad Tuesday morning relative to
the removal of the old passenger sta
tion, which was abandoned by the
company on the completion of their
new station last September, and which,
as has been reported, the company has
intended tearing down. Nothing Off
cial could be learned about the dispo-
sition of the property, however, but
it is understood that the delay in the
work of clearing the ground has been
occasioned by the probability that the
company might use the building for
yard offices. This plan has been sub
Jected to considerable criticism, and
it is believed that it is only a question
of time until the station will be re-
moved entirely.
AS is pretty generally known, the old
building is left open at all hours, and
1t is getting to be a convenient haven
for a bad set of men who find them
selves without any shelter at night,
and is constantly in danger of being
set on fire. And it is conceded that
fire such as the old station would
make, would be dangerous in that dis
trict. For this reason, if for no other,
something ought to be done with the
building, and the interests of the prop
cray owners near there protected.
The removal of this old building
would be source of qualification
not only to residents of the section
where it is located, but to all who
are interested in the healthfulness OF

Local Contractors Will Be Asked
To Bid.---Work To Begin AS
Early AS Possible and Rushed

The contract for the long-looked-for
federal building in Hattiesburg will be
awarded probably some time during
the month of March, and it is safe to
say that actual construction will be-
gin during the coming summer.
Local postoffice authorities have
been advised by the department at
Washington that plans and specifi-
cations have been completed by the
architect and approved by the post
office department. and advertisement
asking for bids will be published in
The News next Monday.
While the letter received by the To-
cal office indicates that the plans and
specifications have already been for
warded from Washington. and con-
tains instructions to the postmaster to
advertise for bids, the copy of the
advertisement for the specifications
had not been received today.

QUIETLY MARRIED.

A quiet marriage ceremony the
principals to which are known to

the contracting parties being Mr..

ney of Noxupater, Miss, and Miss
Nellie DeCell. of Raymond, Miss, but
who has been teaching school at Nox-
upater during the present session.
The marriage was a private affair,
only few friends and acquaintances
of the contracting parties being pres
ent.

Copies Of Specifications.

Assistant Postmaster Kernaghan
stated this morning that there would
be five copies of the plans sent to
this office to be submitted to local
contractors for bids and estimates on
the construction of the building, and
these will be placed in the hands of
prospective bidders as applications
for them shall be made, after the
advertisement for bids shall have
been published.
This is bit of news which will
doubtless be very gratifying to citi-
zens of this city, as tn opinion has
generally prevailed that Hattiesburg
was not getting her just deserts from
the department in the matter of rush
ing up the plans and specifications
and advertising for bids. In fact, it
has been necessary for the CONNER
cial Club to take the matter up with
Congressman Bowers on more than
one occasion and to ask his co-opera-
tion in an effort to have the work
rushed through as speedily as possi-
