fell THROUGH A HOLE
and FRACTURED Skull
Tom Mayott, Of Hattiesburg, Was Vic
tim Yesterday Afternoon of Accident
Which Cost Him His Life-BuriaI
This Afternoon.

Thomas Mayott, a young white man
about twenty-five years of age, died at
2 o'clock this morning as the result
of injuries sustained yesterday after
noon in an accident at the plant of the
J. ]. Newman Lumber Company, in
this city.
Various reports as to how the acci-
dent occurred are in circulation and
the details cannot be obtained, as it
seems the young man was alone at
the time. Mayott was employed at the
mill in the capacity of lumber hand
Ter. His duty was to run lumber
through a hole in the concrete floor
OF the mill to the basement, where it
is afterward loaded on the cars. The
young man was performing his usual
duties when the accident occurred yes
terday afternoon, and, in some manner
which has not yet been explained, fell
through the floor to a concrete floor
about seven feet below, fracturing his
skull.
He was taken to the Hattiesburg
Hospital, but his injuries were of such
a nature that surgical skill could not
save him, and he died this morning
about o'clock.
Mayott had been employed at the
Newman mill for a number of years.
it is stated, and was well known in
Hattiesburg. He resided with his pa
rents about two miles South of the
city, and was known to be a hard
working young man.
1t is the opinion of officials of the
Newman Lumber Company that May
Oft became overheated, lost his bal
ance in some way and fell through
the hole to the concrete floor beneath.
The hole through which he fell is only
about sixteen inches square, and it is
said to be remarkable that a man of
Mayott's physical build could have
fallen through it.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence of the young mans pa
rents this afternoon, and the remains
will be inferred in the McInnis ceme-
terry at 5 o'clock.

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 6.-The Blodgett
lumber tracts in Mississippi, largely
covering the counties of Greene and
Jackson are being cut and the lumber
placed on the market. Considerable
quantities of the lumber is being sent

timber land was purchased by North
ern capitalists at low price and is
one of the finest stretches of virgin
forest in Mississippi, the trees suffer
ing little damage during the gulf storm

had not been turpentined. The land is
now selling, according to amount of
lumber standing, at about $5 per esti-

Think IT WOULD BE
PROFITABLE BUSINESS
Hattiesburg Men Believe High Freight
Rates Can Be Knocked Out And
Money Made If Project Should Be
Handled systematically.

Believing that the people of Hatties-
burg may be materially benefited in
a general way, and themselves amply
compensated for their trouble and ex-
penditnre of money, several Hatties-
burg citizens are contemplating hav-
ing a steel boat constructed for traffic
in the Leaf river, and it is probable
that company will be organized for
that purpose within the near future.
1t is known beyond a doubt that a
certain type of vessel, with steel
hull, can ply the waters of Leaf river
successfully after a little snagging
shall have been done, and it is figured
that the traffic which could be had
between Hattiesburg and Pascagoula
would warrant the expenditure of the
amount of money necessary to pur-
chase the vessel and have the snags
removed from the river.
The gentlemen who are contemplat-
ing this venture are men of means
and sound business judgment, and it
is thought probable that should the
project be put to the test and prove
successful. it would not be a difficult
matter to raise sufficient amount of
money to purchase several vessels.
The boat which is being figured on
now is a freighter, and is intended to
handle the lighter class of business.
