FACE WAS SLASHED
FROM MOUTH To EAR
be criticaI-Bates Surrendered to
Sheriff by Police Authorities, Pend
ing Investigation.

r. M. Almonds, a plumber en-
ployed by the Sanitary Plumbing
Company, of this city, was danger
ously injured in personal encounter
with Percy Bates at local poolroom
last night. The cause of the trouble
between the two men is not positive
ly known.
Several citizens who, reached the
scene Immediately after the difficulty
stated today that the trouble occurred
in the entrance to the poolroom, and
that it was all over with so quickly
that it was almost impossible to
know just how it was done.
Bates attacked Almonds with a
pocket knife, plunging the blade into
the upper lip and cutting a cash
from the mouth to the ear, exposing
the teeth and bone on the side of the
| face. The injured man was taken to
the Hattiesburg Hospital, and it is
said that it, was with great difficulty
that he was prevented from bleeding
to death. Bates was arrested and a
charge of assault and battery PREFER
ed against him in police court, but
the case was considered of such a
serious character that Chief of Police
Williams turned the prisoner over to
the county on charge of assault and
battery with intent to commit muir
der.
Bates is well known in Hattiesburg,
where he has resided since his early
youth, while Almonds has been a
resident of the city for only a few
weeks, having come to Hattiesburg
from West Point He is said to be
we'll connected and highly respected
at his former residence.
Adtices from the Hattiesburg Hos
pital this afternoon were to the effect
that Almonds was resting well and
his condition was considered satisfac-
tory, with favorable respects for re-
covery.

WIVES SHOW ACCOUNTS
IN WAGE Arbitration

Chicago, May l9.-Submitting their
family account books in an effort to
establish their contention that it is
impossible ito make both ends meet, -
wives of enginemen here told of the
high cost of living" before the arbi-
tration board which is settling the
wage dispute between $4,000 employ
es and 40 railroads west. of Chicago.
Mrs. Marion oliver, of Chicago,
placed a comparison of prices now
with those of three years ago before
the members of the boad.
Meat is too expensive to eat, cab
bage is nearly luxury and We can't
afford to buy anything but the cheap
est OF clothing" Mrs. oliver said.

Three GRAND OFFICERS
FROM HATTIESBURG
Each Branch of The Order Represent
ed Here Took an Officer EACH
Next Meeting To Be Held at Brook
haven.

Hattiesburg walked away with
many honors at the meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which
closed yesterday at West Point, each
branch of the order represented here
securing the election of a grand Off
GER, as follows:
Herman Katz, Deputy Grand Master
of the Subordinate Lodge.
Louis Williams, Grand Chief Patri-
arch of the Encampment
Miss Ida Cowart, President of the
Rebekah Assembly.
Hattiesburg was also literally rep
resented in the committee appoint
ments, many members of the local
lodge being named on important COM
mittees.
Local Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
who were present are loud in their
praise of the royal treatment accord
ed them by the West Pointers, and it
is said that the meeting just closed
was the most pleasant and profitable
of any during the past several years.
The election of Mr.. Katz as Deputy
Grand Master puts him in direct line
for election to the office of Grand
Master at the next meeting of the
Grs Id Lodge, which will be held in
Brookhaven next May. This will be
the first time a Hattiesburg citizen,
or any one from South Mississippi,
has held this important office.
Mr.. Williams is said to be the
youngest Grand Chief Patriarch ever
elected in the state, and his selection
by the Grand Encampment to fill this
important position is a compliment
worthily bestowed, and one which will
doubtless result in much benefit to the
order.
This is also the first time Hatties.
burg Rebekah has been honored with
a grand lodge officer, and the selection
of Miss Cowart is considered to be a
judicious one.
Taken altogether Hattiesburg got
the lions share of the grand officers
and committee members, which goes
to show that this city takes the lead
in all branches of Odd Fellowship.
1t is said that an effort will be made
to have the grand lodge meet again in
Hattiesburg in 1912.

The negro BANKERS
POSTPONE MEETING

On account of sudden illness of
the president, L. X. Atwood, and the
meeting of the board of examining
surgeons of the United States, of
which SOME of the associations men,
hers formed part, the meeting of the
Negro Bankers Association, which
was to have been held here this
week has been postponed until a
later date.
By reason of the fact that there are
only eleven negro bankers in the
state, it was thought necessary to de-
fer the meeting until all the promi.
nent members, at least, could be pres.
ent.
The Magic City Bank desires to ex.
press its gratitude to Mayor Donald
the community at large, the Womens
Progressive Club and the choral class
for the interest they manifested in
preparations for welcoming the asso
citation. The date of the meeting will
be announced later.

Pickering, La, May 19.-For years
one of the most important problems
in Louisiana has been to determine
what to do with its cut-over pine
lands.
The native Louisianan as rule
looked upon the land as worthless. 1t
remained for others to demonstrate
that 1t was susceptible of high de-
gree of cultivation, and that the re-
suits would be most satisfactory.
Grannis plantation is located short
distance from Pickering, La, and con
sists of 240 acres, 100 of which are
under cultivation. 1t was established
by the Pineland Manufacturing Com
pany to serve as demonstration
farm.
Work was begun January l., 1908
and what was then a wilderness OF
pine stumps today presents fields free
from underground and stumps and
covered with orchards of peach, apple
fig and other fruit trees, interspersed
with growing crops of corn, cane
oats and vegetables.
What promise there is in this tract
holds. good regarding the cut-ovei
lands in general in the state of Louisi
ana.
This land lies on the watershed be
tween the Sabine and Red rivers, and
as has been proved, will produce near
ly everything that grows in the TEN
perate and sub-tropical zones.

Climate and Soil Right.

The mild. salubrious climate, COM
bined with the variety of soils, makes
this possible. Today they are digging
potatoes that net $500 per bushel on
board cars at the depot.
These potatoes were raised between
rows of fruit trees, most of which
will begin bearing next year. AS
soon as the potatoes are dug, the land
will be planted in cowpeas, which not
only furnishes the best of forage
crops, but, turned under, is a fertilizer
of the highest order The cowpea is
richer in nitrogen than in any other
vegetable.
The vineyards of the experimental
farm is sight to gladden. the eyes OF
the beholder. Most of the vines are
only two years old. and are so heavily
laden with fruit that it requires the
support of wire trellises to keen
them from breaking down. The Con
cord, Niagara and several other va
rieties of grapes are growing. The
fig trees, though young. are loaded
with fruit

COMET Did NOT
PASS The EARTH
Celestial wanderer Was Seen in the
East Again This Morning, and
\ Astronomers Are Puzzled.
fBu Associated Press.l


Williams Bay, Wis, May 19.-Prof.
s. A. Mitchell, of Columbia Universi-
ty, Prof. Edwin B. Frost, head Of
Yerkes observatory star and Prof. Ed
ward Barnard, of the University Of
Chicago, say that any one of the fol-
lowing three explanations may be
right.
First-The curvature of the comets
tail may have developed to a wholly
unexpected degree while the head OF
the comet has passed the earth on
schedule. Like the boreallis comet OF
1903, Halley's comet may have ceased
its tail-making activity. cutting on the
glowing fan that is now puzzling the
scientists. 1t is possible that all cal
culations were wrong and that the
comet has not yet passed the earth.
AS nearly as could be computed, the
period of appearance of the comets
tail in the East extended from 10: 30
o'clock Wednesday night to o'clock
this morning. 1t was plainly visible
at time when the astronomers were
confident the earth would have passed
completely through it's tail After
leaving his telescope today Prof.
Frost issued the following statement:
Greater than all the theories and all
the computations, are the facts. And
the fact is that the tail of Hal
comet has been appearing in the
in practically the same position
appeared yesterday"

Il. N. HANNA FOR
COMMISSIONER
is in No Sense Politician, But is
Willing to Lend His Efforts to
Betterment Of Conditions.

At the solicitation of number Of
friends and voters Mr.. H. M. Hanna
announces in this issue of The News
as a candidate for commissioner of
the city of Hattiesburg, subject to the
action of the Democratic primary.
Mr.. Hanna has been a resident Of
Hattiesjurg for the past seven years
and stands for good citizenship in
every meaning of the word. He was
one of the original signers of the pc
tition for the commission form of
city government and is heartily in
favor of that form of government, be-
lieving that it will tend to economy
and that where the responsibility is
placed with few men and they give
their entire time and attention to the
affairs of the city results will be bet
ter than where there are large num-
ber of men who give only such part
of their time as they can spare from
their private affairs.
While believing in economy, Mr..
Hanna also believes in progress along
educational lines, and a fair and i'm
partial administration of the laws
Mr.. Hanna has been successful in
his own business and has shown his
faith in Hattiesburg by investing all
his savings in Hattiesburg real es
| tate.
