about the matches. or crowd the porch
of the administration building and talk
some more about rife shooting, and in
cidentally to express forcible opinions

In the Evans skirmish match which
was started late yesterday afternoon. and
which was continued today, the District
Of Columbia team was pitted against the
team from Oklahoma. The men from the
western state had been here for several
weeks. and shooting over the skirmish
was like eating pie for them. whereas
the guardsmen from the National Capital
had had no previous practice. Hence 1t
was not surprising. when at the third halt
about 500 yards from the skirmish tar
gets, the Oklahoma team put the District
team out, after having lost only one
man. the one put out by Lieut.. Alder
man of the District.
The District team was made up Of Capt.
He'denreich Lieut.. Holt. Lieut.. Alder
man, Lieut.. Caldwell. Private Clausell.
Corp. Forsythe, Sergt. Maj. Cole and
Lieut.. Powers.
Today will witness the wind-up OF the
National Rife Association matches for
1910 as tomorrow and Saturday the range
will be devoted to practice for the ma
tional team match. which begins next
Monday. The entire range is in use to-
day. The Evans skirmish will be con-
cluded. 1t is not expected that ii will be
finished until late in the afternoon.

Prosperity Celebration.

Following these picnics a
South Mississippi Prosperity
Celebration was held to signalize the
completion of the Newman mill; the
opening of the new station of the
New Orleans and Northeastern Rail
way station and the inauguration of
street car system. The attention
of the Club, however, was to demon
strate that Hattiesburg was not the
dead city, that existed in the imag-
nation of many people and to show
that it is the commercial center of a
populous territory whose inhabitants
could be attracted here for both
profit and pleasure. The signal sue
cess of the effort was ample proof OF
our possibilities. 1t was an unquall
fed success from every standpoint
In making the arrangements, 1T de
veloped unity of purpose on the
part of all our people that was alone
worth the cost of the celebration
, Cur citizens contributed so LIBERAL!
that the Club not only paid all thu
expenses, but had surplus enablin,
us to pay debts amounting to $4,000
which had been incurred in effort
to benefit the whole city and whicl
included $4,000 to our attorneys
who carried our rate case to the il
terstate Commerce Commission an
it also furnished us with enoug
ready money to send committee t
Washington in the interest of the in
provement OF Leaf river.

Feight Bureau.

In connection with our efforts to
abolish the discrimination or
freight rates, freight bu-
reau has been organized and ship
pers representing Is per cent OF the
tonnage received in Hattiesburg nave
signified their willingness to give the
freight bureau the routing of their
shipments. AS the work in hand Is
very difficult and the situation very
complex. the committee has gone
very slow, in order to make as few
mistakes as possible. A careful IN
vestieation is Icing pursued which IN
the very nature of things cannot be
made public. Every possible means
of escape from our troubles is being
considered and every opening exam

To Improve Leaf River.

Anticipating such decision and de-
termined to leave nothing undone TO
remove the unjust discrimination

effort 10 effect the improvement Of
Leaf river as it was realized that if
all other means failed we could eX
pect relief by making our river nayi-
gable. The first step in this derc-
ton was the appointment of . COM

survey Win d view to determining the
feasibility OF permanent improve
ment. The committee consisting OF

tariff on lumber, was recognized by
the Club and for the purpose of ex-
tending assistance to our chief indus
try the Club called mass meeting of
the citizens of South Mississippi, in
this city for the purpose of organic
ing to oppose the reduction of the
duty on lumber, with the result that
a committee of representative bust
ness men was sent to Washington,
which did its share toward retaining
reasonable duty on lumber. Rec
ognizing the necessity of developing
our agricultural resources, the Club
has devoted much effort to devise
some means of attracting a desirable
class of immigration to South Missis-
sippi and has from time to time urged
our large land owners to offer their cut
over lands to actual settlers at a
nominal price to induce development.
Naturally, such a movement is slow,
but feel that some substantial prog
ress has been made and that another
year will witness material increase
in our agricultural population if we
will only continue our good work.
When this movement was started it
was found that many Of our own peo
pie were unaware of our surround
ing resources and possibilities and
for the purpose of educating them
=. and especially our business men
and inspiring them with enthusiasm
for the work in hand, a series of pic
MICS were planned and carried out
by the members of the Club, which
not only brought our business people
in touch with the people of the sur
rounding country, but it revealed t.
them the vast commercial possibili
ties that would result if all Soutl
Mississippi were developed like tn
sections visited To Mr.. R. c. Hau
enstein, more than any other membe
is due the credit for the success o
these picnics.

To Prepare for Water Navigation.

To Prepare for Water Navigation.
In this connection wish to i'm
press on the Club the necessity Of
taking immediate steps to have the
bridges in Forrest and Perry counties
changed to permit navigation. These
changes can be forced by the War De-
partment which has jurisdiction in
such cases, but the government
would prefer to have the changes
made voluntarily; if, however, when
we have done all we can to have the
change made and then fail, the war
Department will compel the County
Commissioners to act and make the
necessary changes so that navigation
will not be interferred with. In this
connection we must not forget that
the government helps those the most
readily who show a disposition tc
help themselves and effective worn
in this direction will do much to en-
courage Congress to make appropria
lions for our district.
