HEAVIEST COTTON MOVEMENT
FOR MANY YEARS NOW
UNDER WAY.
ALL The RAILROADS ARE RUSHED
Small Mills Are Being Cared for but
t Situation Hurts the Big Ones
Exports Are Heavy.

That the demand for empty cars,
not only for lumber, but for cotton,
fertilizer products and merchandise
is considerably greater than the sup.
ply is evidenced by reports from all
over the country, and indications are
that the situation will not be material
ly relieved before the first of next
year.
At this season the shipments of mer-
chandise are usually heavier that at
any other time, and although many
cars are received daily here, they are
not nearly sufficient to supply the de-
mand of the mills, the local compress
and the fertilizer factory.
Cotton Shipments Heavy.
According to Agent Singleton, of the
New Orleans and Northeastern rail
road, cotton shipments from Hatties-
burg are heavier now than at any
time during the past few years, while
the Meridian fertilizer factory is U.s.
ing large number of empties daily
for shipments of fertilizer products,
1--WE are doing the very best we can
under the circumstances" said Mr..
Singleton, ''and are trying our best to
place what cars we have to the best
advantage. AS soon as loads are re-
ceived here the cars are unloaded and
placed at the disposal of the shippers
OF course the mills are the greatest
sufferers, because of the fact that they
require larger number of cars than
are needed in any other line of indus
try in this section.
Hits the Big Mills.
There is general impression that
the railroads look more closely after
the interest of the big mills than those
of the smaller ones. This, however,
is not the case. The roads realize
that unless the small manufacturers
can get cars when they are needed he
loses money and is sometimes forced
to suspend operations. AS a rule, the
small mills get all the cars they need,
for the reason that they are located
at points where the demand for cars
is not so great as at points where the
larger mills are located.
Exports Lead Imports.
"Our road is handling worlds of stuff
out of Hattiesburg. 1t is true we are
receiving heavy shipments of merchan-
disc, but the loads brought in are moth
ing to compare with those shipped out.
Traffic is very heavy on the Northeast
ern now, and it is foolish for anyone
to intimate that the car shortage is
not serious. However, we have all
hopes that conditions will begin to i'm
prove soon, but I am not in position
at this time to say when this will take
place.
''In the meantime. we are doing our
best to take care of our patrons, large
and small, by furnishing them cars as
rapidly as possible"
Similar conditions are reported from
other roads entering Hattiesburg, and
while the Northeastern, of course,
handles larger amount of business
than either of the others, all of them
are loaded to the guards with business
and could handle considerably more,
but for the car situation.

Battling Nelson

Pugilist Says Speaker Would Have
Made Great Featherweight if He

WASHINGTON, May 17.-"Battling' Mel
lto today and after carefully looking over
the latter's spare frame from a respectful
distance averred that the speaker would
have made great featherweight."
Introduced to the speaker by the latter's
secretary, MIR. Busby, Nelson grinned
broadly at the smiling speaker.
IF you had begun boxing few years
ago you would have made better boxer
than speaker, and you are certainly
some speaker" led out Nelson.
Now. that's what l call a pretty nice
compliment" countered the speaker.
They went on to talk at length of ath-
letics.
Some of the group surrounding the two
informed the fighter that the speaker took
his daily exercise and always kept him
self fit.
Il knew he was there on the training" ;"
replied Nelson, Fyou can't fool me about
telling when boy is in shape"
The speaker shook both Nelson's hands,
felt his biceps and shoulders and slapped
him on the back. The examination was
freely returned by Nelson who carefully
ran his hands over the somewhat gaunt
frame of Speaker Cannon.
Say" said Nelson, as he ran his fingers
up and down the speakerss arms and
looked him over from head to foot, Il
heard you were big man. but you're only
little fellow"
Uncle Joe grinned and put up his hands
in approved pugiistic. style. Nelson ac-
cepted the mock challenge and put up his
practiced hands as II in defense.
Speaker Cannon made a few swift passes
at the fighter, who backed away laugh
ing.
d" Philadelphia Jack O'Brien taught me
those" confided Mr.. Cannon.
After the informalities of the unique in
! PRODUCTION were over the speaker stepped
into his private office and emerged with a
box of cigars which he opened and proffered
to Nelson.
mo, thanks" said Nelson, Il never
smoked a cigar or took a drink of liquor
in my life"
Il wish could say that" frankly ac-
knowedged the speaker.

fore a committee In opposition to a bill

Iowa. prohibiting the exhibition of moving

of descriptions OF prize fights by wire.
