OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
GOOD TIMES AHEAD
in LUMBER TRADE
Election Results Pleasing to Local Men
Who Are Looking For Stronger
Market at an Early Date.

Lumbermen of the Hattiesburg ter
ritory, feel very much encouraged
over the outcome of Tuesdays cleo
tions, and number of local retailers
and brokers who were seen today by
representative of The News were
decidedly optimistic in their views in
anticipation of general improve
ment of conditions, not only in this
immediate territory, but throughout
the country.
Mr.. e. T. Batten, assistant secre-
tary of the Mississippi Pine Associa-
ton, who is in charge of the affairs
of that organization during the alb
sence of Secretary Brown, stated this
morning that the prospects for gen.
eral improvement were better now
than at any time during the past sew
eral months.
Although the railroad rate litigation
has evidently had much to do with
recent depressed conditions in the
lumber market, it is the general be-
lief of lumbermen that since it is
positively known that the business
interests of the country will control
the next congress, it is thought the
railroads will begin to open up and
place orders for car material. Espe-
cially is this anticipated in view of
the present shortage of cars on prac-
tically all the railroads traversing the
lumber territories.
While this car shortage has had
the effect of holding prices up to a
point above what it would probably
be otherwise, the market has not been
as strong nor the demand as great
as it would have been but for the
doubtful political situation in the Uni
ted States.
1t is confidently expected that there
will be notable strengthening of
prices within the next few days, and
if the car situation can be improved
in time it is believed lumber ship
ments will be heavier during the win
ter than for some time past.

fell UNDER engine
NOT A LIMB LOST
Miraculous Escape From Death Yes
terday at lumberton Of Conductor
George WesterfieId.

George Westerfield, aged 27 years
and valued conductor on the G. & s.
L. railroad, is resting easy this after
noon on cot in the Hattiesburg Hos
pital, after an escape from death which
seems almost miraculous.
Yesterday morning in the Lumber
ton yards, while riding on the pilot of
the engine of his train, Westerfeld in
some way lost his footing and fell on
the track, the front trucks rolling
on him.
At first examination his rescuers
were sure he was dead or fatally in
1ured. A physician was called and
the injured man speedily brought to
this city. DR.. Ross, the company's
surgeon, after an examination and the
amputation of three fingers, announced
that Westerfield would survive without
the loss of a limb.
This afternoon the injured man was
reported as resting easy. He had
been recently promoted to a
passenger run. His home is at Co.
lumbia, where he has a wife and two
children.

YOUNG PUCKETT
GETS Two YEARS
in PENITENIIARY
Night Money Clerk Who Appropriated
Funds on Sunday Night Pleaded
Guilty This Morning.

c. c. Puckett. the young express
clerk, who was arrested in Memphis
Wednesday on charge of embezzle-
ment, brought to Hattiesburg and
lodged in the county Jail on Thursday
morning. pleaded guilty before Judge
Johnson in Circuit Court this MORN
ing and was sentenced to two years
in the state penitentiary.
This case probably establishes
precedent in the history of Forrest
county criminal proceedings. As soon
as Pickett was brought to Hatties-
burg the grand jury Immediately be-
gan an investigation of his case, re-
turned an indictment, Puckett was
brought into court, arraigned and SEN
fenced within four days after the
commission of the offense with which
he was charged and one day after the
man was landed in jail
When the young man was brought
into court this morning and the in
dictment charging him with grand
larceny was read, the court rendered
the accused benefit of counsel at the
states expense. This Pickett de-
clined. When the court asked the
prisoner at the bar if he desired to
make a statement in defense of his
action, or show any cause why sem
tence should not be pronounced, the
young man simply stated that he was
guilty. He did not even beg the
mercy of the court.
This was probably one of the most
extraordinary cases ever disposed of
in Forrest county. Pickett was a
young man who enjoyed the conf
dence and respect of all who knew
him. He had been a trusted employe
of the Southern Express company for
three years, and was accustomed to
handling large sums of money. His
record had been absolutely straight
and above reproach until last Sunday
night, when he appropriated a pack
age of money from the safe, and pur-
chased a ticket for Oklahoma When
apprehended he had a considerable
amount of the stolen money in his
possession, and this he voluntarily
turned over to the arresting officer.
According to his own statement and
that of officials of the express COM
pany, Puckett had an opportunity to
appropriate many times the amount of
money which he took from the safe
on Sunday night. The only motive
which can be assigned for the COM
mission of the act is that "whiskey
caused it.
Judge johnson, in commenting upon
the case this afternoon, stated thar
he had hoped Puckett would put I'D
some sort of defense which would /.
show some extenuating circumstances
in connection with the case, but his
refusal to even make statement left
no alternative to the court.

BIG newman MILL
HALF CLOSED Down
BY CAR SHORTAGE
Night Shift Taken OF and Big Mill Is
Running at Greatly Reduced
Capacity.

Instead of improving, as had been ex-
pected, the car situation in Hatties-
burg has been growing worse for the
past few weeks, and the shortage has
assumed such proportions as to seri-
ously effect, for the present at least,
the business interests of this city.
Contrary to general expectations, and
previous statement made by Super
intendent Hanan, the production of
the big plant of the ]. ]. Newman Lum-
ber Company has been reduced by
nearly fifty per cent, the entire night
shift having been taken off last night
for the first time since the mill was
rebuilt.
AS consequence of this, large
number of people are thrown out of
employment and the payroll of the big
concern reduced to considerable ex-
tent. This, of course, means a loss to
the general business interests of Hat
tiesburg.
1t is stated that the output of the
mill has been reduced by about 10000
feet per day. or an average of twenty
cars. This was found to be absolutely
necessary on account of inability to
secure empty cars in which to load
the lumber.
When car shortage first began to
be felt in Hattiesburg Superintendent
Hanan expressed the belief that the
situation would be relieved within a
comparatively short time, as the
scarcity of empties was attributed to
the heavy movements of cotton, grain
and coal. Mr.. Hanan did not think
it would be necessary to curtail the
production of the mill for the reason
that the company had large storage
capacity, and it was hoped that this
would enable them to keep both day
and night shifts running until the sit
uation should be relieved.
Not only does this car shortage eff
feet the big mills of this territory,
but number of the smaller mills, it
is stated, have been seriously handi-
capped, and some of them compelled
to close down indefinitely. Ordinarily
the saw mills are compelled to ship
their output as rapidly as possible on
account of inadequate storage capaci-
ty, and the further fact that it is not
profitable to their operators to con-
tinue to cut only such lumber as is
necessary to fill orders for early de-
livery.
Superintendent Hanan of the ]. J.
Newman Lumber Company, stated this
morning that he had hopes of being
able to resume night operations with
in a comparatively short time. The
of production, he said, was
due to the car situation, and the plant
will be run at full capacity again as
soon as a sufficient number of cars
are available. The mill is at present
receiving less than twenty per cent
of the cars actually needed
The night shift has also been taken
off at one of the Sumrall mills of the
Newman Company, but Mr.. Hanan
stated that the company was endeavor-
ing to hold its men together with
the hopes of putting them back to
work at an early day.
