be to call the roll of States.

1t was the concensus of opinion of
the manufacturers who attended the
meeting that if the increase of one
cent per hundred pounds should be
universal, it would cause no detri-
ment to the yellow pine market, as it
would place all manufacturers on an
equal basis. In commenting upon this
phase of the question, Secretary Ev-
eret M. Brown, of the Mississippi Pine
Association, said:
THE railroad business has been the
salvation of the mill men in this terri
tory for years, and they (the mill
mem are not inclined to place any
more obstacles in their way than can
possibly be avoided. thereby causing
them to be financially unable to build
new cars and repair bad order cars
which are now tied up in the shops.
This state of affairs will continue to
exist, however, as long as this agita-
tion against the railroads is allowed
to continue"
In commenting upon the general
outlook in this territory, Mr.. Brown

THE DIyIl&sR|Gnl
OF HTS MAJESTY
AS Expressed BY Emperor William,
OF Germany, Does Not Meet
Popular Favor.

Berlin, Aug. 29.-The now famous
speech of Emperor William at Koe-
nigsburg with its openly expressed be-
lief in the Divine right of the Prus-
sian king. and his choice, not by peo-
pies assemblies. but by God contin-
ues to be the theme of the most ex-
cited discussion in the newspapers.
The monarchist organs are divided in
their views of the emperor uttel-
ances, some of them taking a stand
in opposition to his view, so that quite
four-tifths of the German press are
united in criticism of the sovereign.
Every shade of disapproval is
voiced from mild regret to mockery of
the alleged absolutist pretensions of
the emperor.
The inquiry is everywhere raised
whether the imperial chancellor, DR..
Won Bethmann-Ho ollweg, knew in ad-
vance of the emperor's purpose to de-
liver a speech of such a nature. The
chancellor maintains unbroken silence
The press generally comments also on
the necessity of the German parlia.

CAR FAMINE FEARED;
TRAFFIC IS HEAVY
Northeastern Railroad Is Being Taxed
To Its Utmost to Supply Demand OF
Lumber Men, Whose Output is
Increasing.

According to Mr.. c. T. Singleton,
local agent of the n. o. & N. E., more
lumber is now being shipped through
Hattiesburg than at any time since
the panic of 1907 hit the country and
knocked the bottom out of prices on
lumber. Mr. Singleton says that the
output of the mills along the G. & 5. l..
and Mississippi Central is taxing the
car supply to the extent that there is
some fear of car shortage In the
near future if the demand increases.
Most of the lumber is shipped on cars
which come from the north empty,
and are the property OF Northern
roads. and for this reason the car sup
ply cannot be controlled to any great
degree by local roads.
Mr.. Singleton says that the opinion
prevails among local lumbermen that
prices on LUMBER VIII Sooh e'o'
If there is a car shortage there can
be no doubt that this will be the re-
suit, for shortage in cars always
means an advace in prices; as, alas
an advance in prices, too frequently
means a shortage of cars.
Most of the freight traffic on the ~
O. & N. E. Is now lumber. The gen
eral freight traffic out of Hattiespure
at present is not heavy, August al
WAYS being a dull month. 1t is ex
pected. however, that September VIII
show a considerable increase in busi
ness as this is usually a good month
and promises to be unusually active
this year.

Lumbermen Of This Territory

WAS sfORMALLY Decided
AT REGEA|k|l en- Ne: MEETING
Mill Men Feel That The Raileoafs
Should Be Left Alone And Ail6eod'
stafts
To Build New Cars And Repair
Old Ones.

Yellow pine manufacturers of this
territory will not fight the proposed
increase of one cent per hundred
pounds on lumber, as provided by the
new schedule prepared by the South
western Tariff Association, and which
is proposed to put into effect on Sep
tember "a. This was definitely decid-
ed at a meeting of manufacturers
called by the secretary of the Missis-
sippi Pine Association and held in
this city last week.
After thoroughly discussing the
matter, it was decided my those pres
ent that it would not be wise to an
tagonize the railroads by opposing the
increase, which is to apply on through
shipments from Southern producing
points to Central Freight Association
and trunk line territories, but that it
would be the part of wisdom and good
judgment to put forth all efforts posi-
BILE to have the question settled at the
earliest possible moment, and to urge
that there be no discrimination
against lumber, but that the proposed
increase be applied to all commodi.
ties and from all points where lumber
is manufactured.

FUCKERS HOUNDS
MADE GOOD Catch
Ran Down a Negro Who Robbed At
MoseIle, Miss, on Lost Fri
day Night.

Constable C. E. Tucker boasts of
having the best pair of young blood
hounds in South Mississippi, and an
evidence of their ability to catch GRIM
inals was given on last Friday night,
when Mr.. Tucker took them to Mos
ellie in answer to a telephone message
from that place, informing him that
burglar had entered the hotel there
and had made away with some money
and valuable jewelry belonging to DR..
Crawford.
As soon as he received the message,
Constable Tucker took the dogs in
an automobile, arriving at Moselle in
about an hour and fifteen minutes.
The hounds were put upon the trail of
the supposed burglar, and within 80
minutes they had located their man.
He was in a negro cabin near Moselle,
and although there were several other
negroes in the hut, the hounds had
singled out a man who afterwards ac-
knowledged that he had been in the
hotel on the night when the theft was
committed.
On the evidence of the dogs, and
the strength of the negro's testimony,
the alleged burglar was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury, his
l.bond being fixed at $500.

hoands about six months ago, since
