STRONGEST BANK
IN MISSISSIPPI
Quarterly Report First National Bank
Of Commerce Shows Fine Condi-
tion of That Institution.

The health. vitality and progress OF
a bank is indicated by the amount of
its loans and discounts and the ability
of its officers to keep these loans
within the bounds of safety and at
the same time place them SO as to
result in the greatest benefit to the
shareholder and the community at
large.
For several years Hattiesburg has
been proud to boast of possessing the
strongest financial institution in Mis-
sissippi, and the quarterly statement
of the First National Bank of Com
merce, published in this issue of The
News, is such as to strengthen the
strength and stability of this splendid
banking house.
pie in the strength, and stability Of
this splendid bankinkg house.
The statement, which will be found
elsewhere in this issue, shows total
resources of s2,226, ,Ss3.25, of which
amount s1,329,924 is credited to
loans and discounts.
The capital stock of the bank is
given at s425,OO0, with a surplus fund
of $4,000. The undivided profits, less
expenses and taxes, are s4S,635.2 .25.

are s949,65I7S, while the real estate,
amounts due from other banks and
approved reserve agents, lawful mon
ey reserve in bank and other cash

Assthe condition of a community's
banking institutions is an index of

First National Bank of Commerce will
furnish much gratifying food for re-
Election, and will doubtless serve to
foster and encourage renewed con-
fidence in local institutions.

In a desperate attempt to hold up

an unidentified bandit was instantly
killed by a rock hurled by Engineer
Frank Stewart, after he had shot the
engineer in the leg.
+ The highwayman, with a revolver
in his hand, crawled over the tender
just as the train stopped at siding
to permit an Eastbound train to pass.
AS the engineer stopped the train he
turned and saw his fireman with his
hands over his head, and heard the
highwayman say: Throw up your
hands, or I'll blow your d--n head
off,"
Stewart complied, and with two re-
volvers stuck in their backs they
were marched back to the express car
and ordered to tell the messenger
that the train was surrounded by a
gang of robbers and that if he didn't
open the door it would be blown open

Higher than Law
Senator Money Comments on EXPIRES.
ident's Criticism of the United
States Supreme Court.

New York, Sept. 2.-Senator Money,
of Mississippi, has telegraphed to the
New York World the following COM
ment on Colonel Roosevelt's criticism
of the courts in his recent speech at
Denver, Colorado:
"Mr. Roosevelt evidently thinks the
supreme court of the United States
is not to decide cases according to the
spirit of the constitution, and the
laws, but according to what he may
think is a popular demand or spirit
of the times.
1t seems that he misconstrues the
duties of the supreme court as one OF
the coordinate branches of the gov.
ernment. 1t is also inferrable that
Mr.. Roosevelt believes no part of the
constitution or the law is in force ii
he disapproves of it, and anything
that he thinks is necessary or useful
is the law though it has never been
written.
Such speeches from men of Mr.
Roosevelt's prominence and popularity
teach disrespect for the supreme
court, a misconception of its duties
and powers and disregard of law
The same spirit was evident in hi:
executive conduct"

HATTIESBURG'S
new POSTOFFICE
Superintendent of Construction for
Contractors is Here and Will
Begin Work Monday.

Mr.. c. o. Craft, superintendent of
construction for the Newport Con-
tracing and Engineering Company,
which has the contract for the fed
eral building in Hattiesburg, has ar
rived in this city and announced this
morning that work on the building
would commence Monday.
Mr.. Craft, who has been superin-
tending the construction of the feder-
al building at Yazoo City, which has
just been completed at cost of $46,-
900, stated that Hattiesburg will have
a building of which its citizens will
feel proud. The Yazoo City building,
he said, while a much cheaper one
than the one to be erected here, is a
handsome structure and an ornament
to the town.
The local building, which will cost
$4,000, will be ample, Mr.. Craft stat
ed, to accommodate the postoffice
business of Hattiesburg until its popu-
lation reaches $4,000, and will be a
convenient and beautiful structure.
Mr.. Craft will sub-let the contract
for grading and -excavating to To-
cal firm and other contracts will also
be let to Hattiesburg parties. 1t is
expected that the building will be
completed by March l next.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. All Jackson
! is alive with interest and excitement
over the location of the State Normal.
The interest began to manifest itself
yesterday when forerunners of the
vanguard from Hattiesburg and Laurel
began to arrive, and last night when
the full delegation from Hattiesburg
came in there began to be something
doing. But it was not until this
morning when the Laurel delegation,
some four hundred strong, riding in a
special train, with banners flying, ar
rived upon the scene. Then all Jack
son sat up and began to take notice.
The trustees held their meeting in
the senate chamber, which was crowd
ed; additional chairs being provided
for the delegates, and visitors being
glad to get standing room. 1t was a
fine body of men, and earnestness was
depicted upon the countenances of
them all, and there is this happy
agreement between them, as it is the
general concensus of opinion, that no
matter where the school house goes,
it will be the biggest school in Missis-
sippi, and the greatest enterprise that
can come to any town or city in the
state.
The trustees announced that they
would allow the first speakers forty
minutes each in which to present the
claims of their towns, and the third
speaker fifty minutes, and give the
first speakers fifteen minute rejoin-
ders. BY consent then they cast lot
for place. Hattiesburg drew first
place, Laurel second and Jackson
third. Prof F. B. Woodley, superin-
tendent of the Hattiesburg public
schools, spoke for the city. He made
an able and exhaustive argument; first
for the school, promising his sympa-
thy, aid and good will wherever 1t
went; then for South Mississippi;
showing the advantages of that sec
ton over the central part Of the state,
and incidentally suggesting that Jack
son should not be the beneficiary of
all the good things the state had to
give out Then Prof. Woodley spoke
for his own town, and there he spent
his best efforts; dwelling upon its
health, its water, its location, ETC.,
His speech gave entire satisfaction to
friends of that city, and made strong
impression upon all who heard him.
After the speaking the trustees took
the matter under advisement and de-
cided that they would open the bids
this afternoon and make them public,
and that no new bids would be re-
ceived, and that these bids could not

VI tliS amount laJ DdleS ulu hOI pS-
long to the Hattiesburg territory,
which leaves total of 34,319 bales OF
local cotton handled here during the
season.
The fact that only 2,7O2 bales were
received by wagon does not indicate
that this was the extent of the local
production and that the balance was
produced elsewhere and merely
shipped to compress here. The small
amount received by wagon is due to
the excellent railroad facilities which
Hattiesburg enjoys.
On the lines of the New Orleans
and Northeastern, the Gulf and Ship
Island, the Mississippi Central and
New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
railroad, farmers have long since real
lied that it is cheaper to ship their
cotton by rail than to haul it by wag-
on, consequently the former method
of transportation has been employed
almost exclusively, only those farm
ers who live on the outskirts of the
city hauling their cotton by wagon.
The fact that the 34,319 bales were
produced in the Hattiesburg territory
is proven by the fact that there is a
compress at Meridian and Laurel,
n nf fhic nitu 10 Mnuy nrlo
and Northeastern; at Jackson and
Mount Olive on the Gulf and Ship Is
land; at Natchez and Brookhaven, on
the Mississippi Central, and at Colum-
bia, on the branch of the Gulf and
Ship Island which practically cuts off
Hattiesburg into an exclusive terrific
ry.
These figures are particularly graf
flying in view of the fact that the
two largest cotton markets of the
South, New Orleans and Mobile are
practically at Hattiesburg's door and
are both competing for the output of
this territory. r
OF the 34,319 bales produced in this
territory last season, 10000 were
bought by local agencies and paid for
by Hattfesburg banks and represented
cash value Of 100000. 30.
Mr.. Rudolph Hauensteln, who is a
recognized authority on cotton, stated
this morning that the outlook for the
season which has just opened is very
gratifying A few representatives OF
out-of-town concerns have already ar
rived here and others are expected
within the next few days. Mr.. Hauen-
stein stated that. in his opinion, the
maximum price Of cotton this season
would be sixteen cents. and the mini
mum not less than thirteen cents.
New cotton is coming In almost
daily and is bringing 13 IA cents to-
day.

SOCIETY INTERESTED IN
A PEDESTRIAN WAGER
Percy Moore and DR.. w. A.
McEnery in Walking Match

Percy Moore, the founder of the ex-
elusive Menlo Park club, has made a
wager with Dr. W. A. McEnery that
he can beat him in a walking match.
Each has his corps of partisans and it
is reported that much money has been
placed on the outcome.
It is proposed to walk from Bur-
lingame to Del Monte, a distance of
100 miles, in so hours. McEnery has
taken the task so much in earnest that
he has given up his apartments tenn
porarily at the Fairmont hotel and
gone into training at Burlingame
Moore is fond of exercising and cross
country jaunts.
McEnery recently travelled abroad
and figures the trip through the three
counties easier than a transcontinental
voltage. Many of the Burlingame set
have promised TO accompany the con-
testants in automobiles to see that the
rules. of the contest are strictly ad-
hered to.
McEnery and Moore probably will
have to walk in the night TO cover the
distance in the stipulated time.

and insufficient assets.
Because of certain exactions by the
Venezuela government. the company's s
mine was obliged to shut down jan
uary 20, 1905. A bill was rendered to
the Venezuelan government for dam
ages, The claim found it's way to The
Hague tribunal and was settled for
s475, 900. to be paid by Venezuela in
eight installments. The first INSTALL
ment of s59.S75 has been received by
the United States government. but the
money is held up in Washington, pend
ing the adjustment of claims between
the aSphalt company, the trustees ana
bond holders.
After closing down the Venezuelan
works the company continued its bust
ness here and entered into several con-
tracts in New York for repairing as
pha1t streets.
The creditors assert that the COM
pany is insolvent. 1t was alleged to-
day that the principal asset was the
