ed States. Here is one of the most
wonderful opportunities for wealth
that has been known within the his
toric period. Our lands and climate
are exceedingly well adapted to the
production of the feecy staple, and
the intelligence of the farmers of the
South and their long experience with
cotton have equipped them to do the
work and do it WE'LL"
Diversification of crops and lesser
acreage in cotton, but with a greater
yield per acre is advocated by DR..
Knapp to meet the situation. He laid
especial emphasis on the need for
good drainage on the plantations in
order that the planters got a good
stand. OF equal Importance, he point
ed out, was the seed bed, the seed
and the subsequent cultivation of the
growing crop. He also advanced the
necessity for planting early-maturing
varieties of cotton and cotton that
puts forth fruit limbs among the first
branches.

Rotation of Crops.

The rotation of crops along scien-
tific lines, in the opinion of the gov.
eminent expert, would compel the
breaking up of many of the large
plantations and the adoption of a
plan of cultivation along cooperative
lines.
1T certainly will modify very much
the tenant PLAN" he said, for hith-
erto we have leased our lands and
allowed the tenant to farm at his will.
In the future the successful planter
will be obliged to have his planta-
ton supervised and his work done
according to definite plans.
In the case of large number of
independent farmers it will require
that one man be employed to super

is now before the public, and is open

The News are open to both sides.
The News, of course, reserves the

In this connection we wish to COM
mend Tax Payer for bringing his
objections to the proposed plan be-
fore the public. We do not know that
his objections are well taken; they
may or may not be; but it is the
right way just the same, to discuss
all public questions in the local paper.
where argument and reason may
have some weight and do some good,
and not wait until the wrong thing
has been done, and then heap un-
necessary abuse upon those who, II
they had had more and better advice
at the proper time, perhaps, would
not have made the mistake they did.
This is an important question to
the tay payers of this city, and those
who are familiar with all the circum
stances could confer favor upon the
general public by expressing their
views in public print. Upon this,
and upon all matters of like char
acter The News will always gladly
open it's columns to both sides.

Greenville, Miss, Jan. 17.-Forty
years hence the world will require
of the United States round fifty mil
lion bales of cotton from which to
fashion it's clothing. These aston
fishing figures were given today by
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who delivered

eminent expert is concluding a speak
ing tour of the Southern States under
the auspices of the Southern Rail-
way.
Look for a moment at the in
creased demands for cotton said
DR.. Knapp. IF you note carefully,
you observe that it mas doubled once
in about twenty-five years" If we
estimate 100000 bales as a mini
mum supply on the part of the Uni.
ted States for the world in clothing
at the present time, we 20 back
twenty-five years and find that lit
tie more than 100000 bales were
sufficient at that time, and twenty-five
years prior to that 100000 bales
filled the demands, while twenty-five
years before that 100000 met the
exige1cies of trade.

If the world only knew what a eli

people up North think about this
country as being unhealthy. They
talk about chills, malaria. fever etc.
II they would stop to read, they would
learn that tuberculosis kills more
people in the North and East, than
that dread disease with malaria and

in the North, than chills, malaria and
fever does in the South. Catarrh
destroys the health, happiness
and practically the usefulness
of larger number of people

More people freeze to death in the
winter and die from sunstroke in the
summer, up North, than heat and cold

South.

mid-winter days are delightful beyond

they are joyous to live. And while

granddaughter of Tennessee woman

in the killing of her husband by a
man who afterwards became known
as story writer under the name of
Med Buntline." The early affair took
place in Nashville in 1886, and Great

our day. The murder of a prominent
citizen was not alone a remarkable
affair, but what followed. The citi-

the public square, broke open the
Jail, took E. z. Judson ("Ned Bunt-
line') and hanged him to lamp post.
The rope broke or was cut, and judi

FOR BUSINESS.

Now that people down in this land
of almost perpetual springtime are
beginning to rub their eyes and wake
up from short winters nap, is it not
about time to resume discussion OF
handling the cut-over lands?' This
country has prosperous present,
come what will, of five, ten, fifteen or
twenty years; but it has no future
no real future-unless these lands
are occupied and cultivated. An or.
ganization looking to that one thing
might be formed in Hattiesburg. Hat
tiesburg will take care of itself, il
these cut-over lands are taken care
Of. Hattiesburg will grow and pros
per, If these lands are peopled. TIA.
tiesburg real estate will advance in
value, Hattiesburg trade will increase
In volume, in proportion as these
lands are occupied and cultivated by
Industrious frugal people.
Had you ever thought of this: That
Hattiesburg is now Just as big as it
ought to be, for the present, and just
as big as it ever should be until there
is more work here to do. If ten thou
sand people were to write to the Sec
rotary Of the Commercial Club that
they wanted to come to Hattiesburg
to live and wanted work, he would
have to write them not to come, there
was no work for them to do. II
other hardware or dry goods or gro
Gerry men wanted to come, what
would be the use? There is not room
for them here in Hattiesburg.
But if you will sell your cut-over
lands to people who will occupy and
cultivate them, then trade will liven
up. then there will be more work to
do and more men andiwomen needed
to do it. Just as you settle up the
cut-over lands you will open up Hat
tiesburg.
Organization is needed; details
would follow. Organization OF men
and capital; not to give, but to take
stock in selling these lands; to fur
nish the money to option or to buy
shem, and also the money to adver-
Use and sell them. A stock company
might be organized with that one end
in view. The stock could be made
a dividend paying stock, and in ad-
dition thereto, and the main end in
view, it would give every confidence
in the future of this section, and this
city, and it would give immediate re-
turns in trade and investments it
would bring here.
