en- Man Injured.

Hattiesburg, Miss. May 49,
Between 2 and 8 o'clock this morn.
ing fire was discovered on the sec
ond floor of the Fabacher Hotel.
Nearly all the rooms on this floor
were occupied and the only stair
way leading down was blocked BY
the flames. The guests were
aroused as quickly as possible and
each fellow sought safety by the
window route. Mr.. A. e. Stegall,
a travelling man from Brookhaven,
was burned almost from head to
foot, but not seriously. M Keun-
eth. jewelry salesman from Gulf
port, fell on the pavement and
broke his foot.

ing and diamond stud worth $3.50.
Kenneth had $50 in his pocket.

plosion was heard and a number Of

building. This is thought to have
been caused BY a gaseous formation
between the paper used for roofing.

important Oversight Of the State
Committee

Inasmuch as the State Democrat
ic Executive Committee, a majority
OF whom are Percy and Noel parts
sans. went entirely beyond its duty
and authority III the attempt to act
as q campaign committee ia Mr..
Perey's interests, it might have
gone few steps farther. The Post
has been reminded that the Conn
mittee neglected very important
duty, according to its conception of
duty, and that was. II did not
''call off the trial of L. G. Du-
laney which is set for June; Mr..
Dulaney having been indicted for
paying q bribe of S645 to Senator
Bilb0 to induce the Senator to vote
for Mr.. Percy for u. S. Senator.
1t was in the province and power
of the Committee to have set aside
the Dulaney trial, as much as it
was within the Committees power
to arrange Vardaman's campaign
SO that Nardaman might be forced
to draw crowds for Mr.. Percy.
The Executive Committee might
also have requested the resignation
of District Attorney Mcneil and
Judge Henry for 'Iese majestic"

to honestly perform their sworn
duty and enforce the laws of the

PRINTING OFFICE BURNED.
Negro Editors Plant IN Tho City De.
stFOyed Thursday Morning.

A short time after the banquet
ers at the Mississippi Retail Mer-
chants Association had bid each
other a good night Wednesday
evening, or more properly. morn.
ing, about 1:15-the fire alarm
was sounded. the printing plant of
E. N. Bryant on West Monticello
street being a seething mass of
flames before being discovered.
The outfit, worth about $1,000, and
the buildings about $500. were a
total loss.
The fire department turned out
promptly and succeeded in keeping
the fire from spreading to adjoining
buildings, but on account of lack
of water pressure and the bursting
of a section of hose, some delay
was occasioned.
A second alarm was turned in
again about $3.50 necessitated by
the recatching of the blaze in the
charred remnants of the building,
which was easily extinguished.
Bryant, accompanied by his wife,
had left for parts unknown through
the country the day before after a
consultation had been held with
him by few determined citizens.
and not feeling equal to a further
meeting the negro decided that
it would be more 'healthful'' to
take the trip overland rather than
wait till train time at 1880 p. m.
The reason for Bryant's sudden
leave-taking was the publication Of
an article in the last issue of his
paper tending to stir up hatred and
trouble between the races and was
only one of a number along similar
lines he has been publishing for
some time.

bill them from Los Angeles, thus
drawing on the influence that always
comes from being connected with
great city.
Nowhere are offered more induce
ments to the prospective home builder
than in our growing community, Beau
tiful building sites can be had by the
man with moderate income, these, to-
gether with the intellectual advantages
of Los Angeles and the quiet of the
suburb make the ideal place for the
building of home. The laboring man
has a special opportunity for procuring
a home at reasonable terms-just like
paying rent-and employment for such
can readily be found in Los Angeles,
where there Is always a demand for
mechanics and artisans.
To the man who is looking for safe
investment in real estate would say
here is the opportunity, for apart from
the rapid growth of Watts, located as
we are between Los Angeles and the
ocean (the acknowledged direction in
which Los Angeles is growing), gives
one a double assurance of an increase
on ones investment. Mr.. G. Donovan,
agent for the Golden State Realty com
pany, reports increased activity in real
estate and a general rise in realty val
ues.
The merchants are prosperous ana
doing a good business and everywhere
a spirit of optimism prevails. The
stores and buildings are full and few
houses are for rent. In the meantime,
the moving van is pulling into the city
and strange voices are heard inquiring
the way to their destination.

out pay; therefore the league is often
able to aid the city fathers by bringing
III suggestion or registering a pro-
test. The league is democratic in spirit
and has for president j. IL. Hurley and
b. g. Street, secretary, together with
a board of directors who have at all
times the interest of the organization
at heart and are thoroughly imbued
fifth the idea that an intelligent and
systematic effort can aid materially in
shaping the future welfare of the city.
Watts is enjoying at present a wave
of prosperity that is unabating. Build
ings are springing up as If by magic.
The new city han is receiving its in
terror finish and when completed
would do credit to a city of much
greater pretensions. A large two-story
brick with four stores underneath is
being erected; one store is already
leased for term of five years for a
bank, the fixtures of which are already
ordered, the bank to be occupied by the
first of the year. The Methodist Epis-
copal church has just completed a
large auditorium to make room for
the ever-increasing growth of the
church, making it one of the largest
and finest in the city.
1t has been said that If the flour gold
that flows down the Snake river in one
year could be caught it would be suf-
ficient to pay off the national debt. 1t
may be of interest to some to learn
that we have manufactured in Watts
by the California Gold Recovery COM
pany a machine that will collect flour
gold. The machine is being placed in
the mining districts from Mexico to
Alaska as rapidly as the company can
manufacture them. j. H. Mccartney,
the inventor, is an old quartz and
placer miner, thorough mechanic, a
man of wide experience and one who
knows pay dirt when he sees it.
Not only does Watts offer special in
ducements to shop keeper, merchant
and mechanic, but especially to the
manufacturer, for with the public
spirited board of trustees, who are al
ways willing to aid in procuring
suitable site, we have the natural
drainage and unlimited water supply,

organization to non-political action
knowing that the entering of political
wedge sooner or later would tend to-
ward strife and dscord. Mr.. Charles
H. Dodd as president and Prof. t.
Shoaff as secretary, together with
strong executive council, lend solidity
to the organization. The committees
have been chosen with a view of gain
ing the very best service, and as a
result much good is being done the

itios and municipal affairs and believes
in "hewing to the line. let the chips
fall where they will" The league had
it's origin not so much from discord in
internal affairs, but as a sort of fifth
wheel, to serve as ballast, as it were,
and strengthen interest in local gov
ernment. The city council is made up
of business men who have their own
private interests and who serve with
