FAMOUS EVANGELIST IS
NO Longer BACHELOR
(By Union Associated Press.)

Boston, Aug. 30-Dr ]. Wilbur
Chapman, the noted evangelist, and
Miss Mabel Cornelia Moulton, OF this
city, will be married today at the
home of the brides mother in Elm
wood, near Providence.
The bride is also an evangelist, and
she will continue active work with
her husband, who has personally car
ried out the Scriptural injunction to
carry the gospel to all nations" hav-
ing preached in nearly all the great
cities of all parts of the world.
The honeymoon of the evangelistic
pair will be passed on Long Island,
and there DR.. and Mrs. Chapman will
make their temporary home, previous
to starting on an evangelistic tour of
the world. 4.t+as

CONGRESSIONAL
RACE in SEVENTH
Primary to Choose Successor to Con-
gressman w. A. Dickson Will be
Held on Wednesday.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 30.-The pres
ent week marks the close of the Con-
gressional campaign in the seventh
district. The primary election takes
place on Wednesday, and the contest
ants are Congressman w. A, Dickson,
present incumbent, Hon. Thos. Shell
ton, of Brookhaven, and Hon. Percy
e. Quin, of McComb.
Some of the friends of Congress
man Dickson are of the opinion that
he will get a majority vote in the
first round. Others who are not SO
optimistic think that there will be a
second primary between Dickson and
Shelton. The latter made Il good race
for the nomination two years ago,
but was nosed out of the second pri-
mary, which was between the present
incumbent and Hon. Jesse Webb, who
is now Mr.. Shelton's law partner.
Results in other congressional dis
tricts this year have been somewhat
surprising, and for this reason poll
tical forecasters are rather averse to
offering comments on the seventh
district race.
The district is composed of nine
counties, Adams, Amite, Claiborne,
Copiah, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln
Pike and Wilkinson, has popula-
tion of about 275 10000, and in the Sena-
torial campaign three years ago cast
a total vote of 13,433 votes. The reg
istration has increased considerably
within the past three years, but, as
in other congressional districts, there
is no likelihood that more than sixty
per cent of the qualified electors will
go to the polls.
In the second Congressional dis
trict Hon. H. D. Stephens and Hon.
w. A. Roane have resumed their can
vass, and will be busily engaged ad-
dressing the voters from now until
Sept. 10th when the second primary
will be held. The same is true down
in the sixth district, where Hon. B. P.
Harrison and Hon. ]. R. Tally will
submit their claims to the voters on
the 18th of September.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-30
SITE SELECTED
f0R HOSPITAL
state Charity Hospital VIII be Lo-
Gated at North End of Old Capt.
toI Grounds.

jackson, Miss, Aug. 3O.-The final
selection of the north end of the old
capitol grounds as the site for, the
State Charity Hospital does not meet
with general public approval, though
1t is considered the best available To-
cation on state land.
There will be opposition to erecting
the hospital there, and property own
ers may take steps to prevent it. The
site, in the first place, will, in the
near future, be in the business district
OF the city, with the electric street
railway line running in front, and the
New Orleans Great Northern railroad
running behind the buildings.
The street cars will be within thir
ty yards distant in the rear. In front
of the site Is several residences, while
just across Amite street, directly to
the north, are other residences, and
the property owners do not like the
idea of having the institution placed
80 close to them.
But Messrs. Taylor, Conan and
hampton, the committee which Sc
lected the site, had to reach some de-
cision in the matter, and since the
trustees of the Blind Institute had re-
fused to allow the hospital to be erect
ed on land given that institution by
the state, there were only two avail
able sites-the old capitol grounds,
which was selected, and the land own
ed by the state near the water works
plant.
The act creating the hospital auth
orizes the trustees to use any land
not otherwise used, and some seem to
think this will make the site near the
Blind Institute available, since the
land desired by the hospital trustees
is used only for pasture, which, it is
maintained, is not essential for the
Blind Institute.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed
over the selection of the old capitol
grounds, and there seems to be but
little doubt that the property owners
near the site will enter a strong pro-
test.
1t was suggested that the old capi-
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-30

tol building be renovated and used for
a hospital, but this, it was claimed.
would cost more money than the trus-
tees have available for erecting build
lngs. The state only appropriated
$4,000, while the city of Jackson and
Kinds county gave $25,OO0 more, max
ing the total amount available only
$4,000. This is for erecting, equip
ping and maintaining the hospital till
the next Legislature makes an appro-
priation for its maintenance, and the
buildings will not be very imposing.
But it would be impossible to con-
vert the old capitol into a hospital,
except at cost of probably $150,000
or 100000.

HOW STATE BONDS
Will BE SOLD
If the Issue Cannot be Disposed of
In Mississippi, Governor Noel May
Get Banks to Take Care of It.

Special to The NeiJS.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 30.-If Cover
nor Noel fails to dispose of the $780,
900 of state bonds left after supply
ing the demand from investors in
this state, while in the North, he may
arrange with the bankers of this state
ture, at it's next session, to relieve
the banks of taxation on the invest
ment.
The bonds are supposed to be non
taxable, but If they should be pur
chased by bank, under the existing
law, the bonds would be taxable as a
part of the surplus of the bank, as it
would be necessary for the bank to
use it's surplus in making such an in
vestment.
The banks pay taxes on their sur
plus, and if this fund is invested in
non-taxable bonds, the tax on the sur
plus is still taxable, as it would not
be reduced, in the eyes of the law, by
such investment.
The banks want to help the state
out of this difficulty, and could do SO
easily, but they do not feel disposed
to invest money at 4 per cent and
pay tax on it, when they can lend the
same money at or s per cent and
the tax will not be any heavier 1t is
a peculiar situation the banks are
placed in,' for while individuals, buy
ing the bonds for an investment, are
exempt from taxation, the banks are
not.
| The legislature, by an act, could
remedy this situation, and it is prob
able some effort may be made to get
the banks to take the bonds at A per
cent and take chances of being reliev-
ed of the tax. 1t Is almost foregone
conclusion that an act will be passed
by the next legislature to meet just
such a contingency In the future.
With $60,000,00O of deposits, the
banks of the state are in position to
handle the entire issue of 100000, or
even a larger amount, but under the
conditions tEey cannot do so in JUS

TEMPLE IRON COMPANY
TO SPLIT IN TWO.
Coal and Iron interests to Be
Managed Separately.

SCRANTON, Pa. Dec. 29.-The Temple
Iron Company, pending its appeal to
the United States Supreme Court from
the decision Of the Circuit Court de-
claring 1t an illegal combination, has
decided the coal and iron interests Of
the company shall be d~isassociated and
managed separately.
The proposed step means that the
coal business Of the company viii be
transacted on lines similar to those
adopted by the Lackawanna and other
coal-carrying railroads when they sep
arated their coal and railroad interests
as the result of the Commodities
clause decision. The fifteen collieries,
now grouped and operated collectively
by the Temple Iron Company. will be
managed separately, each colliery main
tanning Its identity as an Individual or
ganization with it's own set of officers.
A. F. Law will become president Of
each company. He has resigned the
vfce-presidency of the Temple Iron
Company to give his undivided atten-
ton to the operation OF the collieries.
Mr.. Law, however, retains the trea-
surership of the Temple Iron Company.
Formal notice announcing this change
will be issued tomorrow.
