MILITARY COMPANY
BEING INSPECTED
Lieut.. R. W. Ashbrook and Col
Jno. B. McF arland Conduct
ing Examination.

The Hattiesburg company of the
national guard are today undergoing
the annual inspection by officers of
the regular army, the examination be-
ing made by Lieutenant R. W. Ash
brook, 18th Infantry, U. S. A., and
Col Jno. B. Mcfarland, of the second
regiment NJ. G. NJ, who is regular
state inspector. These gentlemen ar
rived in the city this morning at 10
O'Clock, and have been busy all day
lin making the inspection.
Recently Capt. J. A. Beaumont has
been putting his company through
some preliminary training work in
order to get ready for the inspection,
and as result, it is thought that
most creditable showing will be the
result New uniforms have been re-
ceived and every member of the COM
pany will be attired in a most attract
i've suit of Khaki when the inspection
is made.
The local armory presented a scene
of animation and hustle when visited
this morning by a News reporter.
Capt. Beaumont had squad of men
busly engaged in rubbing up and
polishing muskets and bayonets and
getting all the necessary equipment
in readiness for the inspection. The
boys" were enthusiastic and went
about the work good-naturedly, feel
| ing confident of being able to conduct
themselves in a most acceptable man.
ner before the inspection officers.
| At o'clock this afternoon Capt.
Beaumont called the company togeth-
er and put them through a prelmi-
nary test, coaching them upon points
upon which they were the least
rusty" and getting them ready for
the ordeal which they were shortly
to undergo. This preliminary test
was very satisfactory and gratifying
to Capt. Beaumont, and after it was
over he expressed the belief that the
boys" would get through without
any serious hitch.
The regular inspection by Lieut..
Ashbrook and Col. Mcfarland was be-
gun at o'clock and lasted until the
company was lined up on the court
house square and We're put through a
most severe and rigorous eXamina-
ton Many citizens had assembled
to witness the sight, and the presence
of these seemed to encourage men,
| bers of the company and gave them
! an incentive to do their best.
Nearly all the members of Capt.
Beaumont's company are comparative
| ly new recruits. When he took COM
mand the old company was on the
eve of disbanding, and were about to
be mustered out of service, but Capt
Beaumont took charge of it and his
efforts to hold it together and keep
it in service have been rewarded by
the production of one of the most ca
pable military organizations in the
| state

CONSIDERABLE
EXCITEMENT
Was Occasioned By Supposed
Fire in Carter Building Yes
terday Morning.

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated yesterday morning when at 1880
o'clock the Carter building appeared
to be afire, and swift run by Com
pany No. | served to intensity the
situation.
Fireman Font Hulett, of Company
No. 1, was the first to discover the
unusual spectacle of large volumes
of smoke issuing from the cement
through the elevator shaft and the
windows of the big, five-story building
and which had even penetrated into
and was issuing from the corridors
of the second floor of the O'Ferrall
building adjoining.
This smoke was so dense in all parts
of the building that it was almost
impossible for one to see five feet
ahead, and this gave rise to the be
lief that a fearful conflagration was
in progress in some part of the build
ing, but just where could not be readi
ly determined.
An alarm was turned and Company
No. 1 was on the scene in the space
of five minutes, when the trouble was
| located. The smoke, it appeared
originated in the furnace room, which
is the basement of the building, ant
was caused by the burning of a quan
tity of trash and loose coal which hat
become ignited in some manner which
could not be accounted for.
1t is probable that had not tn,

thought probable that any damag
would have resulted, for the reasol

GOOD FORTUNE FOR
HATTIESBURG LADY
Mrs. J. L. kearney Collects Premium
on Life Insurance Policy Which
Had Lapsed.

The friends of Mrs. J l.. Kearney
will be glad to hear of piece of un-
usual good fortune which has come
to her today in the payment of an
insurance policy which had been en-
tirely lost sight of until recently On
December 3rd, 1908, the Prudential
Life Insurance Company issued a
81 100000 policy to Mr.. j. l.. Kearney.
After paying the premiums for two
years, Mr. Kearney allowed this policy
to lapse in 1905, but the conditions of
the policy were such that the extend
ed insurance would carry the policy
for six years without the payment of
further premiums. Mr.. Kearney died
November 4th, 1908, a little less than
three years from the time this in
surance lapsed.
Mrs. Kearney did not know that
her husband had this insurance until,
in February of this year, in looking
through some of his possessions, she
found a Prudential policy. Investi-
cations showed it to be valid and i'm
mediate steps were taken for its col
lection. Proofs of the death of the
insured were made March 18th, and
sent to the company. A check for
81 100000 was issued by them and was
delivered to Mrs. Kearney today
This is an ususual case, and the
liberality and promptness of the in
surance company, showing that they
were willing to do the right thing
will be appreciated by the friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs Kearney.
