Will BE met BY AN
AUTOMOBILE ESCORT
Will Speak at the Court House in the
Afternoon and at thd Auditorium at
Nisht-May Also Address Children
on Saturday.

Charles W. Thatcher, the Good
Roads Apostle" will arrive in Hat
tiesburg Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
in his little trap drawn by two burros.
and arrangements are being made to
accord him all possible courtesies
during his stay in the city.
The Commercial Club has requested
all owners of automobiles to meet Mr..
Thatcher on the public road few
miles out from the city, and to es-
cort him to the county court house,
where he will lecture in the after
noon. the court having consented to
suspend at 4 o'clock for the period of
an hour and half so that everyone
may be given an opportunity to hear
| him.
/ Mr., Thatcher is perhaps one of the
most unique characters now before
the public, and is said to know more
about roads and public highways
than any ten men in the South. He
devotes all his time to the work of
encouraging good roads movements,
travelling from place to place in lit
tie trap drawn by two small burros.
This mode of travelling enables him
to know and understand the condi-
tions of the country through which
he travels and to get first-hand knowl
edge of the condition of public high
ways.
Mr.. Thatcher will also deliver a
lecture at the Auditorium on Friday
night, and it is desired that everyone
who possibly can will hear him. He
comes to Hattiesburg at the invitation
of the Commercial Club, and it is
due them that the people show their
appreciation of his appearance by
hearing his lectures.
Sunday School superintendents OF
the city have been invited to bring the
children to the Auditorium on Satur
day morning, when Mr.. Thatcher
proposes to talk to them about goot
roads, but so far none of them have
given notice of their acceptance O.
the invitation.

Large RESERVOIRS

McComb City, Miss, June S.-One
hundred acres of land in the north
portion of this city, in the basin of a
streamlet, was purchased Monday by
the Illinois Central railroad from G. c..
Clements, T. F. Hales and T. L. Held
enreich for a consideration of $4,000.
It is understood that the property
will be used for site for reservoirs,
with an ultimate capacity of one bill
lion gallons. Material from the ex-
cavations will be used to build dam.
Concrete spillways will be constructed
to guard against floods.
A pumping plant will be installed,
with pipe lines to distribute water to
the machine shops, roundhouse and
other steam-using plants. Chemists
have been called upon in vain to fur
nish an infallible corrective to relieve
the native water of this territory of
certain active principles which are
powerfully corrosive and destructive
TO the fiues and the interior shell of
locomotive boilers, and in order to
escape this burden of annual loss on
this account the management decided
to build the reservoir.

SHIPPERS ARE NOT
VERY BELLIGERENT
Conference at Chicago Shows a Dispo-
sition to Temporize on the Cues
tion of Increased, Rates.
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, June S.-A spirit of calm
ness pervaded the opening of the ship
pers' conference yesterday, at which
it had been expected that a vigorous
fight would be waged against the
Eastern railroads in their proposed
freight rate advance.
Instead of Immediately demanding
that the department of Justice take
steps to block by Injunction the pro-
posed advance, the committee of nine
teen, in it's preliminary deliberations,
seemed inclined to temporarize.
As a result it is possible that the
shippers will decide to renew their re-
quest that the rates be suspended
pending arbitration by the Interstate
Commerce Commission as provided by
the new railroad act.
While the peace proposals were not
entirely indorsed by the shippers, the
tone of the meeting was much less
beligerent than the previous one held
here.
Both the Eastern and Western Rail
roads are represented at the meeting
although the committee was appoint
ed under the resolution passed at the
meeting of shippers on May II, will
reference only to the situation in East
ern or official classification territory
north of the Ohio River and East o
the Mississippi.

ACTION TAKEN ON
CREMATORY MATTER
Busy Session of City Council Last
Night-New Member Sworn in
Large Amount of Routine Business
Disposed of.

The city council last night adopted
an ordinance declaring the intention
of the city of Hattiesburg to issue
bonds in the amount of $57, 500, for
the purpose of securing the location
of the Mississippi State Normal in
this city. The matter had been pre-
viously discussed by the board on sew
eral occasions, and the ordinance was
adopted without dissenting vote.
This means that Hattiesburg and
Forrest county will offer $4,000 in
cash as an inducement for the loca-
tion of the college, besides a tract of
sixty acres of ground, and an addi-
tional amount of money will be sub
scribed by private citizens if such
should be found necessary.
The city crematory came in for a
large share of consideration last
night, Dr. Jas. E. Hulett appearing be-
fore the board and explaining to the
body that the conditions have been
annoying residents of the district
where the crematory is located. He
stated that on certain occasions the
fumes arising from the crematory
had been so disagreeable that people
living on the hills above the plant
had been forced to remain indoors
in order to avoid the odor, which was
positively nauseating.
Many other residents of Jackson
street had from time to time COM
planned about the bad conduct of the
crematory, and, in some instances, it
is stated, people have moved from the
vicinity in order to get away from the
impure atmosphere.
After some discussion by the board,
Mayor Donald was authorized to ap-
point a committee of three, whose
duty 1t would be to employ the SER
vices of an expert to make thorough
examination of the plan in order to
ascertain, if possible, just what was
necessary to be done in order to put
it in good working order. DR.. E. J.
Mitchell, R. G. Mckenzie and City At
torney Sullivan were appointed on
this committee.
The matter of a petition of w. B.
Seymour, asking that his locomotive
works be exempt from taxation un
der the manufacturing exemption act
was referred to City Attorney Sulli
van for investigation and advice.
An ordinance annulling an alley
in Block of the Magruder & Com
pany survey was adopted.
The city clerk was instructed tc
notify the Traction Company to make
repairs in the bitulithic pavement
on certain streets, where it had beer
torn up for the purpose of repairing
gas mains, ETC.
Salaries of all employees of the city
were ordered paid, and all members
of the police force were reelected
for the month of June.

Next Monday the Laymen's Missionary
convention will open in this city and will
continue through Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Several widely known men con-
nected with the movement will be heard
here, chief among them being George S.
Eddy, one of the best-known religious
leaders in the world.
Mr.. Eddy was graduated from Yale in
the scientific department of 81. He had
been interested in the Christian work of
the college, and entered the Twenty
third street Y NJ c. A. in New York
City for a year to work under the direc-
ton of Mr.. McBurney, who was such a
genius in guiding men into Christian
work During the year Mr.. Eddys de-
cson was made to go into the foreign
field. A few years later he travelled
through the American colleges, arouSing
young men everywhere to sense OF their
responsibility to the worlds needs. India
was his chosen field, and he entered into
work among young men chleuy IN lhe
great universities through which he traV-
eled each year. India mas as many col
lege graduates as America, and these
young men have received little moral and
religious instruction. They are an unpar-
alleled field for Y NJ. G. A. work. TAX
ing up the Tamil language, Mr.. Eddy
can talk like a native. His work has
kept him in touch with modern currents
of thought, and his message is that of a
deep student of the broad undercurrents
of national life
As a speaker Mr.. Eddy has unusual
facility, combined with a drectness which
reaches the hearts of his hearers. lie
has addressed some of the great CON
ventions and conferences of recent years,
and was called with John Mott to share
in the great evangelistic movement in
Japan three years ago, when hundreds
and thousands of Japanese students were
converted.
In the weeks before leaving India, Mr..
Eddy was conducting a remarkable series
of meetings in Calcutta, where the stu
dent class is permeated with the reVOlu-
tionary spirit, and where turbulence Is
apt to break out at any time in the pub
lie meetings. Each night for two and
sometimes three hours his audiences were
held with strictest attention while he pre-
scented to them the message of the new
life based upon Christian principles and
Christian character. After six months in
this country Mr.. Eddy returns to India,
speaking at the great Edinburgh con-
ference en- route
