new MOTOR CAR
COMPANY FORMED
Hattiesburs Automobile Company is
Latest Acquisition to List of
city's Enterprises.

Automobiles and automobiling are
becoming more and more popular all
the while with the people of Hatties-
burg and it is becoming so that you
have to look both ways before cross
ing a street.
Realizing the great Importance of
this industry and the fact that it Is
only question of short while before
great many more automobiles will
be demanded by the people of this
section, Messrs. Otis Smith and Hugh
Graham have formed a new company
The Hattiesburg Automobile Company
and have secured the agency for the
Maxwell. recognized leader in the
automobile world.
Mr.. Smith has been in the vehicle
business in Hattiesburg for many
years, and is considered an expert or
mechanical construction of all We
hicles. He has watched the growing
popularity of the automobile and has
studied the construction, the wearing
qualities, the up-keeps and all the i'm
IpoItant points relating to automobiles
and after deciding to enter the bust
ness, chose the Maxwell.
Several sales of this great machin,
have already been made and it L
hoped that a great many machine
will be placed as soon as the advant
ages of the Maxwell become impress
ed on the public. Rev. E. J. Curri
and DR.. H. L. McKinnon, both critica
buyers, have purchased the Maxwell
car, and were guided as much by tn
low up-keep of the car as by any othe
point.
Mr.. L. l.. Barnes, the factory den
onstrator, will be with the new con
pany for the next few days. NJ
Barnes drove in the New York-Atlant
endurance run last fall, when til
Maxwell car, and particularly the B
! by Maxwell, made such a creditab
, showing. He was one of the judges
the recent Atlanta automobile NEE
and will drive in the Atlanta-New Yor
t run in June. He is well advanced

FAUST TONIGHT BY
". |. swain SHOW

Faust, the beautiful psychological
and enchanting play that has charm
ed, amazed and delighted the civilized
people of the world for more than fifty
years, great scenic and dramatic
spectacle, DR.. Faust and his laborato-
ry, the cathedral square of Wurteb-
burg, where Marguerite is introduced
to Faust by Mephisto, the great brock
en- scene, Satyr's sit in hideous stoical
silence, while sirens sing their seduct.
i've ditties:
Grim COLLINS revel in demoniacle gi-
rations; owls screech and flap their
wings, as vampire bats fit by in sar.
donic mockery. Green Shiny snakes

ons appear emitting fire from their
dilated nostrils. Myriads of scintilla-
ling fire flies illuminate the gorge, as
the wretched doomed, seething in
scorching fires of everlasting duration
appeal for mercy to Mephisto, who,
in satanic majecty, views with ghoul-
ish glee, from the summit of his laby-
rinth of weirdness, the hellish mob,
and amidst a shower of fire hurls
thunderbolts at them, while they dance
and screech in fiendish reyelry.
The last act is the prison cell where
Marguerite is incarcerated for the
murder of her mother. She presents
most pathetic sight, when Faust,
who is impelled there by some ire
sistable fate finds her a mental and
physical wreck. In a fit of delirium
she dies in his arms. Then follows
the apothesis. "the pinnacle of trans.
cendent dignity in immortal poetic
romance" Marguerite, saved by
grace, ascends with angels to para
disc in a cloud of resplendence, as
Faust in desperation clings to her
heavenly garD, while hadeS yawnS with
volcanic fury, as Mephisto, chagrined
at his total failure, descends to join
his legion of doomed souls.
The big theatre tent was full last
night TO see Jesse James, and every
person, included in the long, short

vast audience must have caught the
