CAPITAL FOR PROJECT
IS ALREADY IN sight
Deal Will be Put Through Jointly by
Hattiesburg and Laurel Citizens
Power to be Furnished by Hatties-
burg Traction Company.

Within the next year possibly, Hat
tiesburg and Laurel will be connected
by an electric inter-urban railway,
plans for the enterprise having al
ready been started and put upon such
a basis that successful outcome is
probable.
This announcement comes from a
thoroughly reliable source and may
be depended upon as being correct.
The enterprise is being promoted by
Hattiesburg and Laurel capitalists
who have gone thoroughly into the
proposition, and figured out the ex-
pense of the undertaking, and who
are thoroughly convinced that it Will
be a success from the beginning.
1t is hoped that there will be no
trouble whatever in financing the pro-
ject, and a representative of the pro-
moters of the enterprise will visit the
Eastern money markets within the
next few days and negotiate deal
whereby the necessary money will be
secured to equip the road and put the
cars in operation.
Working in conjunction with the
Hattiesburg Traction Company, from
whose plant the power to propel the
cars will be furnished, the promoters
of this inter-urban road will construct
railroad from Hattiesburg to Laurel
and equip it with electric cars of the
most approved make and a regular
freight and passenger service will be
inaugurated as soon as the road is
completed. 1t will only be necessary
for the company to build the railroad
and erect the trolley line, which work
should require but comparatively
short time.
The Hattiesburg Traction Company
is now consuming less than twenty
per cent of its power, and even when
the inter-urban line is put in opera
ton the plant will still have reserve
power sufficient to extend its lines
and operate cars on fifty miles of ad-
ditional trackage.
An inter-urban line from Hatties-
burg to Laurel has been discussed
from time to time during the past sew
eral years, but not until now has any
thing definite been done with the
proposition.

FINEST COUNTRY
ON GODS Earth"
So Says Hon. H. D. Money, With
Reference to Cut-Over Territory
OF South Mississippi.

Hon. H. D. Money, Jr, who is per-
haps the largest farmer in South Mis-
sissippi, was in the city yesterday,
and when asked by News representa-
tive for his opinion concerning South
Mississippi, remarked: ut is the
finest country on Gods EARTH
Mr.. Money, who for many years
has been private secretary to his
father, United States Senator H. D.
Money, has recently purchased tract
of $50 acres of land in Harrison coun-
ty and has gone in for intensified
farming. He stated that in
his opinion, there was no bet

duction of all kinds of crops than is
to be found on the Gulf and Shir
Island railroad between Jackson and
Gulfport, in what is known as the
"cut-over" territory

portion of my land this year in the
cultivation of crops which l know to

nevertheless conducting experiments
with many crops which have never
been attempted in this section. Fol

Island cotton, and it would surprise
you to see how it is flourishing. II

VERY AUSPICI0US
Large Number of Pupils in Schools
on Opening Day Indicates That the
Attendance Will Eclipse That of
Previous Years.

Early yesterday morning the streets
of the city were thronged with groups
of children, some glad, some sorry,

Hattiesburg were veritable bee-hives.
The public school session of 1901

rollment exceeding by so the number

spite of the fact that the fairfield
building is totally inadequate to ac-
commodate the High School.
The total number of students en-
rolled at the various schools yester-
day was 1,757, against 1,705 last year,
net gain of 80. The enrolment by
schools and grades is as follows:

ALARM sent OUT
TO HUNT WO0DAlL
Life Prisoner Convicted of Attempted
Criminal Assault, Gets Away From
Jail at Brookhaven.

Brookhaven, Miss, Sept. 20.-The
authorities are making every effort to
capture Robert Woodall, white. sent
enced to life for attempted criminal
auuault on 11-year-old Myrtis Neal, who
escaped from the jail here after mid
night on Saturday.
Woodall is believed to be insane.
Friday he disrobed himself and set
fire to the bed clothing and was re-
moved to a new cell where it was
thought he would be secure.
1t is evident that he had assistance
from the outside. The steel bar OF
his cell window was sawed intwo and
it is probable a ladder was used to
reach the cell.
Woodall's wife and father are resi-
dents of the county, but it is not
thought that the man will remain in
the community.

INCREASED DEMAND
FOR REAL ESTATE
Comparison In Conditions Now And
Sixty Days Ago Show That Things
Have Improved Wonderfully.

A comparison of conditions in the
real estate market now and sixty days
ago develops the fact that five inquir-
les are now had to one two months
ago. This of itself is good proof that
conditions are rapidly improving. The
common verdict of real estate men is
that nearly all desirable houses are
now rented.
This condition is very gratifying
and becomes a subject for a little
friendly comment The people gen.
orally indulge the hope that property
owners and real estate dealers will
exercise some good common sense
and not try to put rents out of all
reason. Such a course will drive peo-
pie from Hattiesburg rather than in
vite them here.
Hattiesburg had day of fabulous
prices when rents scared aloft, and it
is hoped that prudence will prevail
and normal condition mark the real
estate business in Hattiesburg here
after.

Patches Are Not Subject to
High Duty.
(Bv Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 20-Domestic cot
ton ginners have won an important
victory here in the board of United
States General Appraisers, which has
just decided that so-called patches
for covering cotton are not subject
to the high rate on duty recently ex'
acted by the treasury department.
The merchandise involved in the
case consists of jute bagging, 80 by

to cover holes in cotton bales. The
collector of customs at New orleans
returned the merchandise for duty al
the rate of As per cent as woven fab

The importers claim for duty si'
tenths of one per cent per square
yard as bagging. This contention thu
board sustains, the New Orleans col
lector being reversed.

SELF-DENIAL WEEK TO AID
HOSPITAL AT PLAINFlELD.

PLAINFIELD. Feb. 1S-While both
approving the plan of the Firemen's
Benevolent Association, of this city,
for a s~elf-deniai week, beginning March
4, for the contribution of money to
Muhlenberg Hospital, the two local
Mayors differ in regard to the method
employed.
Mayor Charles j. Fisk, of this city.
commends the. efforts of the police,
which is to place boxes in all the
schools and in public places about
town for the reception of coins for the
self-denial fund. His only suggestion
is to eliminate any reference to the
size of the contributions. and to make
q. penny as welcome as a dollar, il 1t
represents the spirit Of ~beneyolence.
Mayor Newton b Smalley, of North
Pl%ainfield, has addressed a letter to
the Patrolmen's Association commend
ing their action, but stating that he
does not believe it the proper thing to
invite the pupile of the schools in such
competitive giving. His resolution is
that 1t would detract from the atten-
ton to their studies.
