OLIVE CROP IS
SHORT This YEAR
out-Turn of Spain's Crop viii Not
Exceed 1000 Hogsheads tt
Is Stated.
lsy Union Associated Press.

Seville, Spain, July 20.-This years
olive crop in Spain will be very short
leading growers saying that the out
turn of the growing crop will not Nbe
over 1000 hogsheads, which will be a
reduction of little over 80 per cent.
of the quantity harvested and cured
last year. From that it is easily dis
cernible that materially higher prices
will prevail for the ensuing II to 1s
months, and as a result curers are
averse to booking any considerable
quantity at the present time. In fact,
some of them refuse positively to
quote prices, prefering to hold their
goods in order to get full benefit of
the advanced prices later on.

HAVE ACCEPTED The
DOCTORS CHALLENGE
Baseball Ever Witnessed in Hatties-
burg.

The challenge of the Worldwide
Association of Pill Rollers for an in.
ternational championship game to be
played at Hamper Park next Friday
afternoon has been accepted by the
manager of the Universal League of
Litigation and Controversy, more ia
miliarly known as "The Barristers"
and which is composed of members
of the legal profession; in other words
lawyers, or those who have license to
practice law.
AS will be seen by the lineup, which
by the way, will probably undergo
some changes before the game is
called and during the progress of the
meet, "The Barristers" have secured
an aggregation of satellites which
would appear to be invincible.
First and foremost, Dan Currie
(better known as Chain Lightning')
has undertaken to direct the affairs
of the team on this occasion. He will
appear in right field with opera glass
es made for the occasion, to watch
the grand stand and keep tab on the
bugs.
John Haney, who is sometimes
called squire, but who erstwhile held
the worlds record for 'fastness" and
head-work, will endeavor to quash the
umpire's decisions and will argue mo-
tions for a continuance or suspension
of judgment in all cases where the
ball passes third base, over which he
will preside.
Anderson Foote, as backstop, prom
ises to pull off some stunts calculated
to bring down the grand stand. He
is a star performer and the team is to
be congratulated upon having secured
his services for the game.
J. R. Tally, who will do the twirl-
ing act, has served notice on the UNI
pire that it's the penitentiary for him
unless luey re du SlrlkeS, Dut mas
agreed not to mention politics while
he Is in the pitched's box.
William H. Cook, who will play GEN.
ter field, is as good as the best, and
while he has agreed to play this one
game for $4,000, wants it distinctly
understood that this is private
agreement and not for publication, as
he will positively decline to accept
such a meagre fee at any future time.
Ben Stevens will melt at shortstop,
while D. W. Draughn will pray for
rain in the left field. Claud Hill will
tower above the second bag and die

SMALL POPULATION
FOR THE CAPITAL
United States Census Gives jackson
a Population of Little Over
Twenty-one Thousand.

An Associated Press Telegram to
The News this afternoon states that
the official figures of the census de.
partment on the population of Jack
son, the state capital, gives the city
very little more than twenty -one thous-
and, the exact figures being 21,262.
This information will doubtless oc-
casion great surprise to the readers
of The News, as Jackson papers have
been contending for population OF
forty thousand and have advertised
themselves as Giving in the largest
city in Mississippi"
The News has arranged to get the
figures showing Hattiesburgs popu
lation as soon as they are announced
by the census department, which will
probably be within the next day OF
two, and which are calculated to fur
nish additional surprise.

Business interests in general of New

Progressive Union considers that
friendly relations with this port and

CONFER ON HIGH

To Prevent Panic in New York Is OBJ

Organizations.
(By Union Associated Press.)

New York, July 20.-To reduce the
cost of living and prevent the panic
which, it is alleged, certain elements
in Wall Street are planning to bring
about in New York city," is the OBJ
ject of conference of civic, trade
and other organizations in Brooklyn
today.
Some of the delegates allege that
they have inside information of plot
to bring on another financial crisis in
this city, which would doubtless
spread through the country and entail
tremendous financial loss to legitimate
business interests and great suffering

Splendid RECORD
OF LOCAL BANK
Hattiesburg Trust G. Banking Compa-
ny Among the Strongest of the
States Financial Institutions.

Every reader of The News, whether
a depositor of The Hattiesburg Trust
& Banking Co., or not, or of any bank
for that matter, should read the state
ment of the financial condition of The
Hattiesburg Trust & Banking Co., ap-
pearing in his paper. This statement
is direct proof that financial conditions
in Hattiesburg are far better than
the chronic kicker would lead people
to believe We all l,now and we all
admit that there is some depression
in business circles, not in Hatties-
burg alone, or in South Mississippi
alone, or in the South alone, but all
over the country-nothing serious and
nothing permanent, but situation
that the opening of fall business and
the harvesting of crops will relieve.
Realizing conditions, however, it was
expected that the result would be ap-
parent in the financial institutions of
the country, and in a measure this is
true. 1t is source of qualification,
therefore, when our own financial in
stitutions are enabled to hold their
own despite conditions.

Co. has just paid its second quarterly
dividend of per cent, and has earned

Bay st. Louis, Miss, July 20.-Sur-
rounded in a swamp on the Gulf coast,
near Waveland, Paul Combel, young
white man, will probably fare hard if
the posse succeeds in catching him.
He is alleged to have assaulted a
twelve-year-old white girl near Bay

The child kept the matter a secret
for several days, but yesterday broke
down and cried and confessed to her
foster mother, Mrs. John Hasford, that
she had been assaulted.
Combels brother is a deputy sher
iff. The deputy is after his brother,
and says he will surrender him at

PRODUCTS Of MANY
VARIETIES SECURED
While New Specimens Are Being Add
ed Almost Daily to the Already
Large and Varied Collection of
Fruits, Vegetables, Grain, Etc.

New and indisputed evidence of
the value of cut-over pine lands for
the production of all varieties of
fruits, vegetables, corn, wheat, and in
fact all the staple crops, are furnished
daily by splendid specimens of these
products which are being gathered by
the Hattiesburg Commercial Club for
the Exhibition of Southern Resources
to be held in Cincinnati in September,
and to be used as permanent display
for the club when it is domiciled in
its new quarters on Pine street.
In addition to the already large col
lection Of peaches, grapes, plums, can
taloupes, apples and other varieties
of fruits which have been collected
and preserv ca t5r. exhibition purposes,
the most remarkable exhibit of all
perhaps is a jar of white
grapes which were grown by Mr.. H.
A. Camp, of Hattiesburg. There are
three large punches of this fruit
which were gathered from vines just
one year old, and they are equal in
quality with the best that can be pro-
duced anywhere.
A quantity of wheat of fine quality
has just been received and placed on
exhibition. This wheat was grown by
Mr.. H. H. Huffman, near Sanford, and
is of such quality as to convince the
most skeptical that good results in
the wheat-growing industry can be OBJ
tanned here.
Mr.. Huffman also sent in some
apples which were grown on his place,
and their superior has seldom been
seen in the stalls of local fruit deal
ers who buy apples from the fruit Sec
tions Of Arkansas and Texas. They
are unusually large, firm and of de-
licious flavor.
Mr.. F. G. Cooper of Hattiesburg,
yesterday presented the club with a
sugar beet, the like of which has per-
haps never been seen here before.
Two of these beets gathered from Mr..
Cooper's garden, tipped the scales at
six pounds, and the vegetables are
firm and tender.
Mr.. Bixler has perhaps three dozen
different collections of various kinds
of fruits and vegetables, and it is his
intention to secure as many more as
possible. Many photographs of grow
ing crops of such varieties as cannot
be preserved are being secured,
and these will be arranged on the
walls of the club rooms so that all
visitors to the city may be given an
opportunity to see what the Ill of
this territory is capable o. :. oducing.
All the specimens Of fruits and vege-
tables carried to the Commercial Club
are in attractive glass receptaeles,
and before the close of the present
season, the secretary hopes to have
collection which will surprise even
the oldest residents of this section of
the state.

EXHIBITS FOR ohio
EXPOSITION WANTED
Work and Indications Are That Un-
told Good Will be Accomplished
Features of the Work.

The Mississippi Land Development
Association, which was the outcome
of the successful Statewide Immigra-
tion Convention held in Jackson last
month, has gone actively to work with
definite plans and purposes.
The officers of the association,
which were elected at the June con-
vention, are all men of prominence
and considerable influence in their re-
spective localities, which is an indi-
cation that the associations plans of
developing the idle lans of Mississippi
will be carried out in a systematic,
intelligent manner.
The officers and the executive COM
mittee of the association, at a meet
ing recently held in Jackson, formulat-
ed plans for the work of the organiza-
tion, the first of which consists of the
appointment of a director in each
county. These directors will be
named within each congressional dis
trict by the member of the executive
committee residing in the district
Each director will select members of
the organization in his county, and as
sist the association in its general
work.
Another plan of the association, and
which perhaps is the most important
one of the work, is to secure in each
county two forty-acre tracts of land,
to be sold at low prices and on long
time payments. These tracts are to
be offered to expert young farmers
from desirable sections of the country,
to be used strictly for experimental
purposes. In order to secure intelli-
gent men to operate these farms,
President Saunders of the association,
will visit the Northern and Western
agricultural schools, and from them
will select such men as he believes
to be thoroughly qualified to under
take the work.
This is generally considered to be
an excellent plan, md if successfully
worked, every coy 1 in the state will
have two prsl sal demonstration
farms in the ha' of people who will
become active advocates and helpers
in bringing people from their sections
to settle permanently in Mississippi.
Forrest county can well afford to risk
such an experiment, as the value of
its lands for agricultural purposes has
already been demonstrated beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
The county directors have been
asked to cooperate in this work by
securing favorable tracts of land at
prices, and to assist in
gathering exhibits for the Ohio
of Southern resources. to
be held in Cincinnati.
\ Parties having large tracts of land |
40 put upon the market have been in
Fited to cooperate with the associa-
ion in the immigration movement, |
md ITO assist in the work of inducing
he right kind of settlers to locate on
die lands. South Mississippi will
probably be the largest beneficiary
lnder THIS plan il the proper degree
,f interest is manifested by parties
who own fhe lands, and it is general
y believed that very liberal induce
ments will be offered to. settlers in
this section.

FIND CORDUROY LOGS

The construction gang working on
the double track contract of the Penn
sylvania railroad. while oxcavating
for the concrete abutments for the
viaduct at the Foundry street crossing,
in the east part of Dublin, found
the logs used in the construction Of
corduroy road in the carly history Of
Indiana.
The corduroy road was laid many
years before the construction Of the
old Indiana Central Railway, and the
logs possibly were In the ground for
one hundred years. The east part Of
Dublin formerly was q swamp and the
roads were impossible great deal Of
the time.
The corduroy road was then re-
sorted to. Later the steep grades on
each side of the hollow were cut down
and the logs buried about six feea.
When the old logs were cut into 1t
was found they were In almost as good
a condition az when they were buried
by the fill about eighty years ago.
