Mr.. TWombleN Listens.

At last this promoter ventured to
call upon Mr.. Twombley. 1t was not
lorg before Mr.. Twombley's health be.
gan to fail. At first he found Mr..
Twombley cynical or Indifferent, but
at last he was able to stimulate a lit
tie interest, and was successful finally
In persuading Mr.. Twombley to take
up the proposition. Mr.. Twombley
was told that not more than $4,000
would be needed to put the process
into operation. It was also suggested
that with this venture no other money
would be needed. The proposltion
made was to the effect that a companv
should be capitalized with this $25. 900.
and If any other stock were issued
the $4,000 should be the sole cash
basis. Furthermore, the scientist
was so thoroughly convinced that the
proposition would work out success
fully that he professed to be willing
to take his pay in stock of the com.
pany, small block of It. Mr.. Twom-
bley was at last persuaded 10 make
the Investment. He turned over $25.
600 in cash, company was organized.
with small capitalization, and the
promoter, who this summer met dis
tinguished Americans at Carlsbad.
where he related his experience, re.
ceiyed small block of stock, IS
shares. What the par value was is
not known. But It was presumably
800 a share.

f.. when Mr.. Twombley was assured
tnat from a small outlay great results
had been secured, he was not in men,
tel or physical condition to care great
ly about the things of this world.
bur there comes semi-authoritative
information from some Of those who
have been associated with the care of
Mr.. Twombleys estate which contains
most romantic tale. There was dis

cure any of the stock of this corpora
ton. There are some Industrial cor
porations in the United States whose
stock is so securely held that the
public has no knowledge of its market
value, since the stock has been rarely
subjected to the test of market quota
tions. A chance investor in the So
called Sewing Machine Trust before
this industrial was greatly enlarged,
who obtained his stock at about 5000,
was offered a year ago $640 a share
for it. But why should he sell? The
dividends were great, and he was
content with them.
No one knows what the market
value, If any, appertains to the great
American arms manufacturing com
pany located in the suburbs of New
Haven. There have been rumors that
the stock is sometimes quoted at 81
400 a share. But who knows, since,

stock, they have been in private. But
there are in New Haven persistent re-
ports of dividends, which would APP
pear to justify a market price of ST.
400 a share. And that is a great
achievement for a corporation whose
founder was at he time of the Civil
Wpr a manufacturer of mems shirts
and for the heirs who are directing
the great institution which he estab-
lished.

lntractable Quicksands.

At last an European scientist was
called into consultation. He made a
thorough investigation. He was sat
isfied that sulphur, pure and mex
haustible, lay at a considerable depth
beneath the surface, and he believed
that he would be able to devise N
method by which the sulphur could be
reached to commercial advantage.
Sa ;sfied at last that his process would
prove successful. he started out to
secure the capital needed for develop
Ing the property. He visited a num-
Der of capitalists and asserted that
he was convinced that the methods
he had devised for getting at the sui
ph,r would prove successful. He also
animated that a satisfactory agree
melt could be made with those who
held the title to the real estate to

ty basis, so that no money would be
needed for the purchase of the prop

Charity
---AND---
BeneUo[ence

Hattiesburg has gained fame in
many directions; in the rapidity of
her growth, outstripping every other
city in the state in everything; her
great increase in postal receipts, plac-
ing her in the first-class; in the refine
ment and culture of her people, but
in nothing has her fame so suddenly
risen as in her benevolence and her
charity in connection with the suffer
ers from the great devastation of the
country with few miles of her Dor
ders by the cyclone which passed over
and destroyed the town of Purvis and
the villages out from the railroad on
Friday afternoon, April %, 1908.
Within four hours after the news
was brought in a relief committee was
formed to go to the stricken district
and relieve the suffering and distress,
the extent of which was, at that time,
unknown.
Hour after hour as the reports
came in. showing a wide area of
wreckage the people Of Hattiesburg
were preparing for the task before
them. Purse strings were turned
loose and the money was poured in to
the hands of the finance committee
and the general committee to whom
was intrusted the care of the funds
and the collection of other necessaries
such as clothing, medicine and food,
worked as no other set of men ever
labored under the task to see that the
contributions were judiciously expend-
ed and distributed. Men by the hun
dreds went to the scene of devasta-
ton and worked removing the debris
under which was buried hundreds of
persons-some dead, some badly
wounded, and others only confined in
such ways that they could not get ey-
'iAN"tNN "Athoul HSips yet III the udTL-
ness of black night they worked with
no thought of rest or food because
there was suffering humanity to be
relieved. And the women of Hatties-
burg-they should have been palced
at the head of this article and not
after the men. No they did not go
to the scenes of wreckage because
that was no place for them, but
noble band were they who remained
in the city and gathered unto them
selves clothing and food for the af
fiicted. not only those who were
brought to Hattiesburg but for those
who could not get to the city but
were so unfortunate as to have lost
their all. Raiment in good order, the
very best in many cases, was freely
given UP and the poor unfortunates
we're clad in good garments and made
comfortable. In the hospitals COM
n1ittees of ladies were sent to look
aTtsr the wants of the cripples there
and at the emergency hospitals the
patients were entirely taken care CT.
nursed and fed by the good ladies WHO
were willing, nay anxious, to 70 cut
from their homes to render assistance
in this great hour of need.
That noble order, the Kings Daugh-
tiers were here and there and every
where with their ministrations.
Hattiesburg people do not look up-
on this work with any degree of
boastfulness. They only feel that
they have been doing what any other
people under the same circumstances
would have done.
