SAYS THE TRUSTS HAVE
GRABBED WATER power
Warns Against The Monopoly Exer-
cised BY The Dukes And The Gen.
erai Electric Strong Speech BY Ex-
Chief Forester.

Atlanta, Oct. 8.-Gifford Pinchot,
the man of the hour in the conserva-
tion movement sweeping the country,
was on hand early for a conference
with the leaders of the Southern Con-
servation Congress before the time
set for opening the first session of the
Congress at the Auditorium here yes
terday. In addressing the conference
Mr.. Pinchot said in part:
Conservation ought to appeal more
vigorously to the South than to any
other part of the country. Some
places in the West have a larger field
for conservation, but altogether there
is no place where questions of con-
servation are more pressing than in
the South. You have natural re-
sources in the South in superabun-
dance"

Would Check Soil Erosion.

No other section of the country, he
said, has suffered so much from soil
erosion as the South. He recon-
mended that every farmer learn con-
tour plowing to keep the soil on the
hill sides and slopes.
Gov. Augustus E. Wilson, of Ken
lucky, made an impromptu speech in
which he complimented the delegates
on their prospects of success in con-
servation by saying:
"You will remember that it is the
kind of seed that we plant rather than
the number which determines the
character of the fruit. The right kind
of conservationalists sit before me-"
Waste of all kinds, Gov. Wilson
branded as not merely slothfulness
and carelessness, but as absolute
crime. Nearly every hotel of any
pretensions, he said, wastes enough
to feed a small village.

PHILATnEA HOME
FOR The WORTHY
WORKING GIRLS
Young Women Who Come to Hatties-
burg to Engage in Work Will
Be Provided With Home.

The Philathea Union of Hatties-
burg have undertaken the establish
ment of Home for Worthy Girls
girls who come to Hattiesburg in
search of employment and desiring
to make an honest living. Their OBJ
ject is to help the girl who truly
wishes to help herself. This is quite
an undertaking, but it has a mighty
power underneath it when the Chris
tian young womanhood of this city
unite to make it a success.
"Philathea" is a Greek word mean
ing 'lovers of truth" The Philathea
Union of Hattiesburg is composed of
all the Sunday School Philathea
classes of the churches of Hatties-
burg.
Why do we need this propesd
home for girls? Hattiesburg seems
to be a metropolis to which girls
come for employment. Every week
from one to three girls walk these
streets hunting work, and "cheap
board; worthy girls, as rule, who
deserve assistance. A girl coming as
stranger into a community is a
helpless creature, needing guidance
and protection, and one thoughtless
act or malicious word may wreck her
character and blight her life forever.
Many girls who come here have no
home, no mother, no one to care for
them, no home training, very limited
education and no experience in the
ways of the world or in fighting life's
! battles. They drift from pillow to
post, disheartened and discouraged
oftentimes, and unless they are girls
of determination and strong charac-
ter, they drift beyond the tide of true
womanhood and are gone. Who is
responsible for this? Are we our
sisters keepers?
The Home is to be presided over
by wise matron, who will sympa
thize with and encourage friendless
girls and shield them from a critica
world. She will see that they are sur
rounded by a genuine home spirit
and inspired to become all that they
are capable of being. She will help
them to live true, womanly, Chris
tian lives, and to rise above unfa
vorable circumstances. The Phila
thea Union, of which Mrs. Bessie l.
Stapleton is president, has appointed
a Board Of Directors from among the
best men and women of Hattiesburg
for the Home, and they solicit the
cooperation OF everyone in building
this Philathea Home for Worthy
Working Girls.

(By Associated PTesS.)

Lisbon, Oct. S.-Provisional Presi-
dent Braga, Of the new Republic Of
Portugal, aided by his assistants,
every day feeling more secure in
their newly assumed authority, are
drawing tighter the reins of govern
ment and began actively today to put
into practice the principles for which
they have stood and which they have

new Republic.
The first step was the publication
today of an official decree ordering
all religious bodies in Portugal to
leave the country within "a hours.
The government has romised the
separation of Church and State,
more or less in conformity with the
ideas entertained along this line in
the United States, and will suppress
the religious orders.
Prisoners who have been jailed be-
cause they belong to secret societies,
will be given their freedom.
While the country on the whole is
quiet, when it is considered that a
new era is being ushered in, follow
ing revolution, at the same time

ENORMOUS Waste
COUNTRY'S TIMBER
j. 3. White, of Kansas City, Says
We are Cutting $500 Acres of
Yellow Pine Every Day.
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

Atlanta, Ga, Oct Sat today's
session of the Southern Conserva-
ton Congress, J. B. White, of Kan
sas City, spoke on the waste in con-
nection with the country's timber
supply.
"In the South,' he said, 4" we are
cutting over two and quarter mil
lion acres of yellow pine every year,
or about 1900 acres every day. With
a 20 per cent waste of tops and logs
left in the woods, billion feet of
lumber is annually lost to the South
alone.
This means a loss to the transpor-
tation companies of about 100000
carloads of freight. and an annual
loss to labor reckoned at $lS,O00,OOO.' y
While declaring against what he
termed THE present system of tax
ing timber on the basis of its sale
value instead of on an income basis
Mr. White said that there were also
some impositions on the lumber
companies as we'll as the owners of
timber lands. "The lumber people,
he said. ARE not reaping such har-
vest as some other people believe"

Trusts Have Water Power.

Practical problems facing conserva-
uonists Mr.. Pinchot enumerated as
water power, forestry and erosion Of
soils. Of water power he remarked.
Your water power resources here
in the South are so completely in the
hands of the Duke interests and of
the General Electric interests that it
will be almost impossible for inde
pendents to break into the water pow
er market"
Mr.. Pinchot predicted, however,
that ultimately water power rights
would be distributed for the benefit
of the entire population.
He laid particular stress on the AID.

were among the finest in the whole

Will ENFORCE
The PAYMENT OF
STREET TAXES
Chief OF Police Williams Has Deter.
mined to Collect all Delinquent
Taxes Next Week.

Those citizens of Hattiesburg who
know themselves to be delinquent for
street taxes will do well to 90 imme-
diately to police headquarters and pay
up. Chief of Police Williams an
nounced this morning that next week
he would enforce payment of all de-
linquent taxes or prefer charges
against the delinquents and allow
them to settle with Judge Davis in
the city court.
During the past two months certain
police officers have been assigned the
duty Of collecting these delinquent
taxes, and a number of parties who
have not paid, it is said, have been
called upon time and again and re-
quested to settle, but in a large num-
Der Of instances no attention has been
paid to the request.
All street taxes which have not
been paid are now delinquent and
have been so for more than a month,
and while it has not been the policy
of Chief Williams to work hardship
on any one, he feels that he has been
as lenient as the circumstances
seemed to require, and has deter
mined to have the money or its equiv
alent next week.
All delinquents will be given one
more opportunity to settle, and unless
payment is made Immediately war
rants will be served on all those who
have failed to settle and the matter
will be disposed of in the city court.

believed money to meet these obliga-

Shortly after his arrival here he

him to buy arms and ammunition, and
had assured him $2.OOO,OOO, to be
placed at his disposal for the pur-

ATTRIBUTED TO HEAVY
MOVEMENT OF COTTON
Shortage Not Attributed to Strike of
Railway Clerks-MiII Will Con-
tinue to Run Regardless of Car
Shortage.

Unless something happens shortly
to relieve the situation, indications
are that Hattiesburg will experience
another car famine similar to the one
which prevailed last year, or perhaps
worse.
Superintendent Hanan, of the j. ].
Newman Lumber Company, stated to
News reporter this morning that his
company is now receiving not more
than twenty-five per cent of it's re-
quirements in empty cars, and that
as a consequence lumber shipments
are naturally being considerably him
dered.
When asked if the present car
shortage could in any way be attrib-
uted to the strike of railway clerks,
Mr.. Hanan stated that in his opinion
it could not. I'm fact" said Mr.. Hanan,
I'VE are receiving all the Queen and
Crescent cars we need, but other rail-
roads are not giving us anything like
the number of empties we need. We
could use seventy-five per cent more
cars than we are able to get, and the
fact is we need them badly"
According to Mr.. Hanan, the car
shortage will have no effect what
ever on the operation of the Hatties-
burg mill. 1t was rumored on the
streets this morning that unless more
cars could be had, it would be neces-
sary for the mill to shut down, but
Mr.. Hanan says this is not fact.
The big plant will continue to run at
full capacity, even though the car
shortage should continue for an in
definite length Of time.
THE only effect this shortage will
have on the lumber business, as l
see it," said Mr.. Hanan, will be to
raise the price of lumber. In fact,
the market already shows a strength
ening tone, and we are not worrying
over the situation. We have ample
cars to take care of our export ship
ments, but shipments for the interior
are being interfered with to a large
extent"
Mr.. Hanan attributes the car short
age to the heavy movements of cot
ton, grain and COAL There is a no
ticeable scarcity of open cars, and
this, it is said, it due to the fact that
they are practically all being used
for the shipment of coal. 1t Is be-
lieved that the situation will begin
to loosen up within 60 days, or sooner
perhaps, when the various railroads
will be in position to supply the mills
with all the cars they may need.
