SAYS REPRESENTATIVE
SHOULD Be ON GROUNDS
To Explain The Exhibit To Prospec-
tive >Home-seekers.-An UnexcelIed
Opportunity to Advertise Resources
Of This Section.

]. w. Eearn, immigration agent for
the New Orleans and Northeastern
railroad, who went to Cincinnati with
the Hattiesburg Commercial Clubs
exhibit of products from South Mis-
sissippi, has notified the club that the
exhibit reached Cincinnati in good
shape and Is now on display at the
Exposition of Southern Resources,
which opened Monday.
Mr.. Hearn writes that never was
there better opportunity afforded
the southern states to advertise their
resources than at this exposition.
Thousands upon thousands of visitors,
many of them prospective home-seek-
ers, are already upon the grounds and
looking eagerly over the exhibits of
the different states and sections, and
Mr.. Hearn is of the opinion that the
tide of immigration will turn south
ward as result of this big show.
In his letter MrHearn emphasized
the Importance of sending a repre-
sentative to Cincinnati to have charge
of the local exhibit, suggesting that
some one who understands the condi-
tions here and who has sufficient in
terest in the movement could doubt
less influence many home-seekers to
investigate the South Mississippi Ter
ritory.
Another thing which is lacking, and
which it is believed would be of great
benefit, is literature describing this
country and setting forth it's innu-
merable advantages to the home-seek-
er. Thousands of home-seekers are
hungry for knowledge concerning diff
ferent sections of the South, and a
pamphlet here and a folder there it is
believed, would be the means of con-
vincing many that the vast territory
of fertile lands,- of which Hattiesburg
is the center, offers more advantages
than perhaps any other section of the
Sunny South.

is NO Change IN
TRAIN SCHEDULE
out Good and Sufficient Cause.

Much ado about nothing" seems TO
size up the scare locally over the sup
posed change in schedule of train No.
7 over the N. o. & n. q. AS was
announced recently in The News, peti-
tions have been energetically circu-
lated among commercial travellers and
prominent business men locally urging
the railway authorities not to make
any change in the schedule of this
train. AS will be remembered train
No. 7 arrives here about nine o'clock
and lays over here until early morn
ing, and it was thought that orders
had been issued to the effect that the
schedule would, on Sept. 1st be
changed so that this train would leave
Meridian later and run on through
without any lay-over here. This re-
port gained circulation through some
conductors on the road and Mr.. Floyd
Hughes, manager of the Hotel Hat
tiesburg got wind of it and immedi-
ately took steps to prevent this action
if possible. Petitions were circulated
and the signatures of some three hun
dred or more commercial travellers
and business men were secured. Bat
according to Mr.. C. T. Singleton, local
agent for the N. o. & N. E., no orders
to this effect have been received, and
the report is probably without foun-
dation. 1t is certain that this change
will not take place on Sept. 1st, as
was at first thought, and Mr.. Single
ton thinks it improbable that it will
be ordered at any time in the near
future.

New Bill of Lading.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Southeast-
ern railroads, as has been announced
here, will put the certified bills of

The new bill of lading, copies of
which were received here Monday

Three WHITE men
ARE CUT BY BLACKS.
Row Between Whites and Negroes Re-
suits From Alleged Insult to Pa
troIman's Wife.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 31.-As the
result of insolence displayed by ne,
groes towards white lady, the wife
of Patrolman John Meyers of the po-
lice force, three white men and me-
gro are in the Charity Hospital suf-
fering from knife wounds. The white
men claim they were attacked by the
blacks, deny they were armed, and
cannot account for the injuries of the
negro, whom they assert they did not
cut. The negro is unconscious.
Tony Grissaffi of No. 1927 Port
street is suffering from wounds in the
breast and neck; John Schulingkamp
of No. 2705 Roman street, has cuts in
the right shoulder and arm; William
Schulingkamp of the same address
was cut in the arms and breast, be-
ing slightly wounded. The negro was
badly beaten and cut, and at the hos
pital it is said he may die. The white
men state they were not looking for
trouble, but only admonished the ne
groes for their insolence towards Mrs.
Meyers

WAS CARRIED BACK
70 new ORLEANS
Chinese Boy Who Violated Immigra-
ton Laws Was Located With Other
Cinnamon in Hattiesburg Yesterday.
Will be Deported.

Hattiesburg got in close touch with
the Chinese smuggling situation
which has for several months been
worrying the immigration officers at
New orleans, when Inspector Alfred
| W. Brough yesterday arrested a Chi
nese boy in this city and conveyed
him to New Orleans for deportation
to the Celestial Kingdom.
The, young Celestial, whose name
could not be learned because it had
never been translated into English,
had been in Hattiesburg only a few
days and was making his headquar-
tiers with George" and Charley"
two Cinnamon who for the past few
years have operated a laundry in
Hattiesburg. These Chinks are very
mum on the subject of their acquain-
tanceship with the newcomer, and
very little information could be OBJ
tanned from them.
1t is believed here that the young
Cinnamon is one of the large number
of Celestials who were 'smuggled into
this country by what the immigration
authorities believe to be an organized
gang of smugglers who have been
operating on the coasts of Louisiana
and Texas. Several of the supposed
smugglers, it is stated, have already
been arrested by officers of the United
States immigration service, and quite
number of Cinnamon, whom it is
supposed were smuggled in by them
have been arrested and deported.
Inspector Brough had little diff
Guilty in locating his man after arriv-
| ing in this city yesterday, and the
young refugee was promptly placed
under arrest. 1t is not thought here
that the local Cinnamon with whom
he was staying had any knowledge of
the circumstances under which he
was brought to this country. Inspec-
tor Brough left last night for New
Orleans, where the prisoner will be
prosecuted for. violation of the immi-
grafton laws. 5.

EYES OF THE WORLD
Are ON HATTIESBURG
General Recognition of the Stability
of its Realty Values Evidenced by
Fact That New Loan Company
Seeks Location Here.

A conclusive evidence of the fact
that Hattiesburg realty values ale
considered staple and desirable as Sc
curity for loans at low interest is evil
denced by the fact that the Capital
Security Company, of Norfolk, Va, is
desirous of placing an unlimited
amount of money at the disposal of a
local agent which they propose to ap-
point here Immediately.
Mr.. E. H. Evers, representative of
the company, is in Hattiesburg for
the purpose of establishing a branch
agency, and after looking over the sit
uation has decided to loan large sums
of money on real estate security in
this city. Mr.. Evers will probably ap-
point local representative and es-
tablish branch office here within the
next few days.
The fact that the Capital Security
Company is desirous of entering this
field in competition with five other
nonresident concerns of like charac-
ter which are now doing business in
Hattiesburg, is an indication that the
stability and value of Hattiesburg
realty is becoming quite generally
recognized abroad
Another indication of the return of
confidence and better business condi-
tions is furnished by the fact that
within the past thirty days a large
amount of money has been loaned on
real estate in Hattiesburg at an un-
usually low rate of interest, most of
the money being borrowed for the
purpose of improving vacant property,
and but remarkably small number of
applications for loans for this purpose,
it is stated, have been rejected.
The entry of this new concern in
Hattiesburg will doubtless place a
large amount of foreign capital in cir
culation here and will mean the erec-
tion of many new houses, the employ
ment of large number of skilled me-
chanics, and, naturally, increased
business for local merchants.

crease of nearly half jmillion dol
lars over 1909, the total valuation

manufacturing enterprises increased
from $2S7,O0O in 1909 to $350,OOO in
1910, giving an increase of more than

present rate of building and emigra-
tion the country will show a much
larger increase in 1911.

COTTON seed BRING
REMUNERATIVE PRICES

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 31.-The cotton
seed season in Mississippi has opened
up at $25 per ton f. o. b. at stations,
this being the price offered by the
four oil mills in jackson for the early

1t is an admitted fact among mill
managers that Mississippi's cotton
crop will not exceed that of last year,
and the 19Os-1O season with the cotton
mills was the shortest in more than
a dozen years, many of the mills clos
