TO The PUBLIC

The Mayor and Aldermen of Hat
tiesburg in session Thursday night by
resolution instructed the enforcement
of the law requiring the weighing of
all ice delivered to customers within
the city limits.
The Hattiesburg Ice & Coal Co. is
and has always been ready and will
ling to comply with the laws. Our
wagons are all equipped with scales,
and all customers have been privi-
lodged to see and have their ice
weighed, and it has been the fault of
the consumer if they have not re-
ceived weights. 1t would entail a
loss in labor and time to carry each
piece Of ice into the houses and wait
until the lady of the house was ready
to witness the weighing. All ice will
be weighed at the wagons, but where
the purchaser wishes to witness the
weighing it will be necessary to come
to our wagons at the time of delivery.

FARMER ADVISED
To MAKE BREAD FIRST

The Greenville, Ala. Advocate has
this in regard to the cotton crop:
ALREADY the farmers are daily
hauling out fertilizers for the next
crop. The indications are that an ex-
ira effort will be made to make big
cotton crop this year. We sincerely
hope that the farmers will not lose
sight of the fact that cotton at 10
cents will not pay for corn at 81 per
bushel and bacon at Is cents a pound.
Cotton at II cents is a good price and
the farmer who grows it as a sur.
plus will soon get rich, when his
neighbor who takes twice as much
and has to buy his provisions will
never be out of debt. 1t is only the
meat and bread maker who makes
money when cotton goes to a good
price
Let every man be sure that he
makes all of the necessaries of life at
home and has nothing to buy. Then
it will make no difference with him
how much cotton he MAKES.

Big BOND ISSUE
FOR STEEL COMPANY
Meeting of Republic Iron G. Steel Men
to Ratify Proposition For New
Bond Issue.
(By Union Associated Press.)

New York, March Stockholders
of the Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany met today to ratify a proposition
for a mortgage on the company's
property and franchises against which
bonds may be issued in an amount not
to exceed $25, 900 900 at any one time.
The new bond issue was decided upon
by the executive committee of the
company.
The present S10,OO0,OOO first and
collateral trust per cent bond issue
due 1884, of which $S,094 900 is out
standing, is to be refunded and the
S1,500,000 of notes against the Hasel-
ton Steel Tube Company will be re-
tired at maturity, while the remain
der of the $25,OOO,O0O of new bonds
will provide for enlarging the COM
pany's business both through diver
sification of products and through the
acquisition of new properties, the ex.
ploitation of mineral land and new
construction.
With the retirement of the older
funded Indebtedness the new bonds
will become a first mortgage on the
company and it is anticipated will
bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent.
In the year 1909 the company raised
about 100000 to be spent on devel-
opment. Of this sum $4,5S3, 100 was
raised last July through the offering
to stockholders ratabiy at par of that
amount of misused preferred stock.
The offering was underwritten by
Blair & Co., who will, it is thought,
act as the companys bankers in the
f1otation of the new bonds. In addi-
ton to the money realized from the
sale of the preferred stock $4,000, 900
was raised in the form of notes on
the Hasselton Steel Tube Company,
which was organized last spring by
interests closely identified with the
company.

MARKED LAST YEAR
Special to The NesOs.


Washington, March Former
Governor Oates of Alabama, has
made report to the Secretary of
War on the work of marking the
graves Of the Confederates who died
in northern prisons, the former gov
ernor being the commissioner in
charge of the works.
A total of 1895 graves have been
marked up to date. This includes the
placing Of 20S2 headstones at Column
bus, o.; S63 at Springfield, ILL.,, 1886
at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-; 1885 Rock
Island, Ill. Confederate graves have
also been marked with headstones at
Sumner. Evansville, Annapolis. Santa
Fe and other points. Commissioner
Oates said it had been found utterly
impossible to identify the graves of
Confederates at Alton, ILL.,; Indianap-
oils, Ind; Firms Point, N. j.; Point
Lookout. Md; Philadelphia and Sho.
hola, Pa. and Lafayette, Terre Haute
and Evansville, Ind.
1t was decided to mark the graves
at each of these points with a single
large monument suitably inscribed,
instead of providing individual head.
stones as contemplated by the law.
Contracts we let for monuments at
each of the ,aces named except at
Point Lookou- and Philadelphia. The
monuments a,thorized will be com.
pleted this spiing.
A number of Confederate civilian
prisoners of war were buried among
soldiers at Alton, Rock Island and

occupant and the word Citizen" or
Civilian" thus, he says, avoiding
the appearance of indicative neglect
He also asks authority to place small
descriptive tablets on the graves of
about $500 soldiers in Oak Wood Gem.
etery, Chicago.
Commissioner Oates says he has
practiced reasonable economy in ex
penditures, and had the work done as
rapidly as practicable, but he finds
there is not sufficient time to com
plete the work within the limit fixed
by Congress in the recent acts. He
says he has paid for the work com
pleted to date. and that when that
contracted for has been finished there
will remain about one-half, or $100.
600, of the amount originally appro
priated. He said that the greatest
difficulty experienced was in the iden
LITIGATION of the dead and their places
of burial. Based on these represents
tons. Congress has extended the op
erations of the act for one year from
date.

Last evening following the anniver- sary exercises in honor of the memory Of Robert Efnr .et, about 50 of the members of t',s club gathered at the Atlantic hotel where a fine luncheon was served in the private dining hall of the popular hoste1ry. When justice had been done the tempting menu pro- vided by Landlord Ca1laghan, MT. John T. King, chairman of the Re- master called for brief remarks from several of the guests The orator at the memorial meeting, MT. Rorke, was heard in a delightfully."- informal talk replete with excellent advice The sur
 prise of the evening was the presenta- ton to. Col. T. J. Murphy, by MT. King in behalf of members of the Enmet club with a handsome Irish flag. The standard was brought into the room and held at either end by pr. J. H. Callahan and Major J. M. McMurray It was so generous in size that it al
 most concealed one end of the room.
 MT. King employed terms peculiarly applicable to the occasion in giving the gift. He exto1led the manifold virtues of Big Tim, You All Know Him." laying particular stress upon the fact that the colonel was a war rior which he said was a source or genuine pride to all true lovers of the Irish cause. In closing he said the gentlemen present considered it 3. priv ilege to be able to show their appre- citation of the many sterling qualities of the doughty colonel.
 Tn replying the colonel was at his best. Had he been tipped off a week in advance and been given time to prepare he could not have done bet ter He said he was 50 years Of age Friday morning last at 2 o'clock and that he hoped to live for 50 years more, but whether he did or not he would ever prize the gift given so generously. Nothing that might have been given could please him more. Rem arks were made by Attorney w. A. Redden, James F'eeley, Alderman walker, Charles Byrne, Major J. H. McMurray, NP. J. Carroll, Thomas O'Brien. Dr. J. H. Callahan and Hon. Alexander IT. Rork of New York.

TO INVESTIGATE SMITHS DEATH
Young Man Who Escaped From Jail and Overtaken Succumbs Following
 Capture

Coroner Wilson will hold an inquest either late today or tomorrow on the death of Andrew Smith, the 18-year- old burglar who expired in St. Vim cents hospital Saturday afternoon fol- lowing a, futile attempt to escape as he was being transferred from the a31to-patro1 into the jail Saturday just before noon.
 Medical Examiner Downs reported to Coroner Wilson this morning that in his autopsy performed at the young mans home, AT Caroline street, yester- day. he found that death was caused by hemorrhage of the brain He dis portion of the brain affected. The wound, Dr. Downs says, could have been occasioned by 8 fall or a blow on the head.
 In his flight from Patro1man Wheel CT through the rear of a Sedgwick street house. Smith lost his footing on the edge of a high embankment. and fell headforemost. SWhen he returned to the Jail he was supported by Wheeler and Engineer. Nichols of the jail. He was practically in faintfng condition when he reached there.
 Court Officer Ffnnegan escorted him into the jail when he took the pris- oner from the custody of Wheeler and Nichols. When he got inside. he was almost unable to stand.
 Assistant Jailers- Watt and Steele were in the jail office, and this is re- moved rom the entrance Dy an O'aeu hall only a. few feet square. They say they saw no blows struck at the time he entered the jail
 At that time Court Officer Finne- gan strove to make an examination of Smith. who, declared he had been shot, but the youth kept his hands before his face in such a manner%that Finne- gan was obliged to pull his arms down in order to look at his features for bullet wounds. Other than that. Fin negan says, Smith was not roughly handled when in his custody.
 It was reported about the jail today that after Smith had reached his cell, he toppled over the edge and fell heav- fly on the floor. Coroner Wilson will summon a number of witnesses, in- cluding several prisoners at the jail who were delivered to the institution along with Smith.
 In the neighborhood of the jail, a number of people who saw Smith walking back in custody of the officers were surprised to hear that he had been fatat11y injured, and they sur missed that he had been injured fur then wTlen~he reached the jail. The police and the. jail officials say they welcome any investigation the coroner may make. in order to set at rest any reports of maltreatment of young Smith.

 rcad' to trial John J. Murphy, presi- dent of the Central Labor Union, and c. O. Pratt, National Organizer of the car men, and two men most re- sponsib1e for the calling of the great industrial tie-up. They have been in dicted on charges of melting to riot and are out under bond. The threat ened arrest of the strike leaders on charges of conspiracy has created in tense feeling among the strikers. While no names have been mentioned it is reported that the men who are to be arrested, if Mayor Reyburn sanctions the plan, are the members of the committee of 10, which has been placed in charge of all strike affairs. This committee consists of John J. Murphy, William J. Tracy, president of the Allied Building Trades Council; Charles A. Hope, secretary of the Central Labor Union; Charles B. Leipps, of the Allied Trades Council; Robert Mclean, of the Stationary Bremen; Charles Dougherty, Steam Filters Union; Harry Parker, Cigarmakers Union; Frank McCusker, Textile Workers Union; Edward McMahon, Tile Lay CTS Union, and Edward Keenan, of the Mechanics Union.
 The arrest of these men would take away the main leaders of the strike and it is admitted dire consequences would follow.
