from among the local talent and the
various parts are being drilled by Mr..
Il. II. Rupert, an experienced theat-
rical man, accustomed to presenting
amateur as well as professional pro-
ductions.
Some new faces will be seen in the
cast as there is considerable dramatic
talent in this city that has not ap-
peared in local entertainments as yet.
Mr.. Archie Wells is back of the entire
production. having obtained the
rights for the production of the play

As soon as his remarks were con-
cluded the Moose got down to busi-

ter another was held, as well as Joint

what kind of game the rules COM

Coach De Aule thinks that the
game has not been greatly injured by
the revision of rules and that it will
be the fast light team which wins.
The forward pass will undoubtedly
spring into greater prominence than
ever before and the game will not be
the massed. jumbled up scrimmage
that 1t was few years before, much
less than it was last year, which was
a great Improvement over the old

irretutable fact however. that is that
the game of last year and the year
before, was more deadly than before
1t was revised. But this year such
radical changes have been made that
unless a less dangerous game de-
velops 1t will be impossible to pro-
duce this by reformation of rules.
The first game of the season will

Seven Per Cent Money.

in the first place, these bonds will
cost the city seven per cent instead of
FIVE, as will be seen by the following
figures: While the proposed issue is
for $4,000. we will take the amount
to be appropriated for the school build
ing, which is $4,000. In the event
the bonds, should be sold at five per
cent the interest per annum would be
$3,750, as stated in your article. But
to this sum should be added several
other items which the gentleman
who gave you the information neglect
ed to mention.
This bond issue must necessarily
pay it's pro rata of the expense at
tached to assessing. collecting, equal
izing and taking care of the funds.
Fixing the assessed valuation of prop
erty at $4,000, the tax collectors S
commission would be $3.50; his COM
mission on the $4,000 would therefore
be nearly 5000; the assessors salary
of 81 900 would make the pro rata ex-
pense, on this account, amount to
about $25.0O, it's portion of the expense
for equalizing would be approximately
$25.O0, while the treasurer's portion
would probably be $15 The litho-
graphing of the bonds will cost not
less than $3.50, while the fee Of the at
torney who examines and passes upon
them will call for like amount.

Want governor TO
RECOMMEND A Law
Would Allow Corporations to Own More
Lands and Compel Them to Sell as
Fast as Timber Shall BE Removed
Probable Result.

For the purpose of inducing Cover
nor Noel to recommend to the legisla-
ture law providing for the removal
or extension of the limitation on realty
holdings by corporations doing busi-
ness in Mississippi, and compelling
hese corporations to place on the open
which the timber has been removed
during the preceding twelve months, a
committee of Hattiesburg business
men Will go to Jackson tonight,
an appointment having already been
made with the governor for a confer
ence.
1t is the object of this committee to
impress upon the governor, in a con-
vincing way, the great benefit to be
derived by this section and the state
at large by the enactment of such a
law, and to demonstrate to him by
facts, figures and otherwise that such
an arrangement would not work Il
hardship upon any interest involved. 1t
is believed that many new and import
ant industries could be located in the
state if they should be permitted to
own land in excess of the $2,00O,00O
limit prescribed by law, and as an ex-
ample the case of the Goodyear syndi-
cate is used. 1t is generally known
that these people desire to erect a
mammoth lumber plant in this section,
but they do not feel justified, it is
said, in building perhaps S3,000,OOO
plant unless they should be allowed
to purchase sufficient timber to pre-
clude the possibility of the supply be-
coming exhausted, without any assur-
ance that more material could be Sc
cured when needed.

z SAW MILL
ACCIDENT is
One Man Loses Arm And An
other Reported Killed in Mill
AT Union.

News reached Hattiesburg Tuesday
of serious accident which befell A.
R. Buckwalter, young man we'll
known in the city. at the mill of the
Lynden Lumber Company at Union,
which resulted in the loss of one of
his arms 1t seems that the young
man became entangled in some of the
machinery at the mill, and one of his
arms was so badly lacerated by the
rollers of one of the machines that
amputation was necessary. Details Of
the accident are meagre.
The young man is son of j. R..
Buckwalter, who is largely interested
in the lumber business in South Missis-
sippi
The report further states that the
accident to young Buckwalter happen
end only short time after one of the
sawyers employed at the same mill
had lost his life by getting tangled up
in one of the machines. The name of
this man could not be learned.

First Years Payment.

Thus, it will be seen that these
items. together with the original
$3,75O, will run the amount up to
Sale Add to this the payment Of
the first premium of $500, which must
be taken up before the end of the
year, you will see that the entire
amount to be paid the first year will
$5,115, or, in other words, the money
would cost nearly seven per cent in
stead of five.
For further enlightenment of your
readers, will say that since 1905 the
city has issued bonds to the amount
of $453,5O which, together with the
proposed $SO,OOO, would run the
amount up to $533,5OO OF this amount,
however, $4,000 has already been
paid. These bonds are in series and
will become payable one year apart
beginning twenty years from 1905.

CORPORATIONS Willing.

1t is also understood that a majority
of the corporations have expressed a
willingness to have embodied in the
proposed law a section which will
compel them to put upon the
open market each year all
the land from which timber
has been cut during that period, this
not to interfere in any way, however,
with their present holdings. This
would enable the large manufacturing
concerns to purchase sufficient timber
to protect them against an early ex-
haustion of the supply, while it would
not permit them to monopolize the
land from which the timber has been
cut.
This latter arrangement, it is
thought, would go long way toward
assisting in the much hoped-for agri-
cultural development of the piney
woods section, which is much desired
by citizens of South Mississippi. Inas-
much as the corporations are willing
to the latter provision, in order that
the holding limit may be removed or
extended to more reasonable bounds

LOCAL INDUSTRY
grows RAPIDLY
Business Of komp Machine Works
Necessitates a Discontinuance Of
Custom Repair Feature.

Among the many important and
substantial business institutions of
this city, possibly none have enjoyed
a more remarkably rapid growth than
has the Komp Machine Works. and
perhaps none are more deserving or
success.
The Komp Machine Works was the
first institution of this kind to be es-
tablished in Hattiesburg, and from a
small beginning it has grown to a bus
mess of remarkable proportions. In
fact, so great and rapid has been the
increase, especially during the past
few months, that it has become nee.
essary to discontinue the custom re-
pair business, which was at one time
the main dependence of the institu-
ton.
The rapid growth of their supply
and secondhand machinery business
has caused the management to realize
the necessity for increasing the facil-
tiles for handling the same, and in
future this feature will be handled
upon more extensive scale, while the
machine shop will be retained strictly
for the use of the concern for the
repairing of secondhand machinery
and for the manufacture of certain
lines of machinery and supplies han
died through the supply department.
This concern has one of the lar
gest and most modern buildings in
the city, the entire lower floor OF
which is used as a salesroom and for
exhibition purposes. while all the
heavier supplies are carried on the
second floor The concerns trade ex-
tends over large territory, and two
statesmen are kept on the road, while
a very extensive local business is
done.
This is an institution of which
Hattiesburg is justly proud, and its
success is a source of qualification to
those interested in the welfare and
progress of the city. Mr.. George
Komp, president and manager of the
concern. is one of the most prominent
and popular gentlemen in the city and
has always taken an active interest
in all matters pertaining to its ad-
vancement. The rapid growth of the
