A Novel Feature,

The adjutant of E. c. Walthall
Camp at Coffeville, has suggested a
novel feature which he proposes to
have added to the program, and one
which will doubtless prove very inter
esting. 1t is suggested that the Hat
tiesburg camp supply piano and in
vite veterans of the different camps
that is, those who are musically in.
clined, to render instrumental pieces
of their own selection.
Mr.. Chambers has been asked to
take the matter up with all the camps
and let each prepare its own program,
the whole to be arranged after the
veterans meet here. The numbers
would consist principally of old
time melodies, and would doubtless
furnish very enjoyable entertainment

were still in no position to give the
information and explanation desired
but stated that the state representa-
tive of the company would reach Hat
tiesburg last night to clear up mat
ters.
This state representative has not
shown up, neither has it been posi-.
Bile to find either Mr.. Cook or Mr.
Watson today. A number of repre-.
sentatives of the company have been
stopping at The Hotel Hattiesburg
but these appear to have taken an
early departure, as they paid their
Dill two days ago, and are said to
have left the city.
The article from The Southern
Merchant deals as follows with the
company:
''In the issue of August oath the
Southern Merchant warned the mer
chants of the South against having

solidated Adjustment Company, Of

1t looks as if Hattiesburg business
institutions have been soaked to the
tune of some two or three thousand
dollars within the past three weeks
under the name of The Consolidated
Collection Agency, which has been
operating at Gulfport, Virgins and
probably other points in the state.
Messrs. Cook and Watson, repre-
sentatives of this company, arrived
here about three weeks ago. They are
smooth takers and made a good i'm
preston on the business men. The
plan they presented was plausible,
and embraced guarantee for the col
lection of a specified minimum amount
from the accounts given them, this
guarantee, they claimed being backed
by bond in good bonding company.
This bond feature was kept promi-
nently forward at all times, and the
fact that a prosecution fee amounting
to a fairly small per cent of the
amount given them for collection, was
required in advance, came out In an
incidental and >unobtrusive manner.
A number of the leading Arms and
business men saw a chance to get a
lot of old claims, some Of which had
been charged off, paid, in part at least,
and they signed up contracts. Thou

were turned over to the agency, the

Regular Program Carried Out,

The convention was run off without
a ripple of opposition to the program
of the leaders, whose only worry was
to keep the enthusiastic delegates
from prematurely suspending the rules
and nominating Hooper by acclama-
tion. This was attempted, but ruled
out of order by the permanent chair
man, R. E. L. Mountcastle, national
Democratic committeeman for Tennes-
see. There was a long wait for the
committee reports and then platform
resolutions were adopted and nomi-
nations made in rapid succession by
unanimous rising votes The resolu-
tion on harmony reads as follows:
1--WE recommend that the resolution
sent to this convention by the Patter-
son committee be referred to the state
committee elected by this convention
for proper answer in accordance with
the action and nomination of this con-
vention."

Line of Defense.

The line Of the defense, so far as
can be learned, tends to throw re-
s,ponsibility for the affair to the at
tending physician. 1t is held that he
should haye reported the birth of the
child and, if dead, it's death as well,
to the state board of health. There is
a state law requiring physicians to
make a report of all births and deaths,
but 1t is not observed to any great
extent.
The whole situation seems to re-
volve around the physician who at
tended Mrs. Womack, and the black
! haired man who was seen in th" room
after his departure. Miss Loudell
said the man, when she saw him, was

LOCAL COMMITTEE
LEFT This MORNING
Arguments Which Will be Presented
pected to Land the Mississippi Nor.
NAL for Hattiesburg.

! The committee which will represent
Hattiesburgs interests before the trus-
tees of the Mississippi Normal College
tomorrow, when the location of the
school will finally be decided upon,
left over the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road this morning and expect to re-
turn tomorrow night with the prize
securely packed in their gripsacks.
In anticipation of this meeting of
the trustees, the local committee has
prepared an array of facts, figures and
arguments, the value of which cannot
be overlooked by the trustees. In ad-
dition to a number of Exhibits" de-
signed to show the advantages of Hat
tiesburg from an economical stand
point, the committee will present to
the trustees the formal orders of the
board of supervisors and the city coun-
Gil authorizing the issuance OF bonds
for the college. Oral argument in be-
half of Hattiesburg will also be made.
In addition to those already men,
toned, the following documentary ex-
hibits will be presented to the trus-
tees:
To the Trustees of the State Normal
College,
Jackson, Miss
Gentlemen:-In addition to Hatties-
burg's cash offer of $250,000.00 with
a free site, also the use of one of Hat
tiesburgs city schools, fuel, janitor
service, water, electric lights, and the
up-keep of the building, all free to
the state, which has been a part Of
our offer all the while, and the further
fact of Hattiesburg's excellent natural
location, superior railroad facilities
and public improvements, we feel that
no further argument is necessary to
secure the location of the State Nor
NAL College at Hattiesburg, but to
make assurance doubly sure, we have
decided to go little further and meet
and overcome some of Laurels publish
ed claims, with the actual facts as set
forth by the official state map and the
report of J. N. Powers, superintendent
of education, and other known and in
disputable facts.
Taking it for granted that ten stu
dents from each county will attend the
State MOI nal College during the regu-
lar term of ten months, and that ten
students from each county will attend
the summer normal for term of three
months, exhibits A and B will show a
saving in railroad fare to the regular
studen>s of $4,000, and the same to
the miner normal students, or
total If $SS4.OO in favor of Laurel.

Steel Superseding Wood.

The substitution of steel for wood
goes steadily on. Beginning with
January /, or Whereabouts, the Ma
tional Lead Company will pack its
white lead in steel kegs, having de-
cided to abandon the use OF wooden
kegs. This innovation is made be-
cause the company has concluded that
steel kegs will have many advantages
over the wooden kegs. In the t1rst
place, the steel package does not alb
sorb the oil from the lead as porous
wooden packages do, and there ls,
therefore, no drying and caking OF
the lead around the edges, making 1t
possible to remove every particle OF
white lead easily from the steel key.
The new steel kegs also will be much
lighter, as we'll as being stronger than
the wooden ones, and this will effect
a saving in freight rates. Taking up
less room than the wooden kegs, the
new steel packages also will save stor-
age space.

This woman was ugly IN every fea-

ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on 1t.

There was no help for it, or none ap-
parent to the stricken; and for
the twenty succeeding minutes the
typewriter clicked monotously in the
small ante-room. Dyckman could hear
his prosecutor pacing the floor OF the
private office, and once he found him
self looking about him for weapon.
But at the end of the writing interval
he was handing the freshly typed sheet
to a man who was yet alive and I'M
hurt.
Gordon sat down at his desk to read
1t, and again the rowing eyes of the
bookkeeper swept the interior Of the
larger rooms for the means to an end:

The eye-search was not fully con-
cluded when Gordon pressed the cleo
trio button which summoned the young
man who kept the local books OF the
ChiaWassee plant across the way. While
he waited he saw the conclusion of the
eye-search and smiled rather grimly.
You'll not find it, Dyckman," he
said, divining the desperate purpose OF
the other; adding, as an after-thought:
land If you should, you wouldn't have
the courage to use it. That is the ia
tai lack in your makeup. 1t is what
kept you from taking the train last
night with the money belt which you
emptied this morning. You'll never
make a successful criminal; 1t takes
good deal more nerve than it does to be
an honest man.
IIereupon the young man from the
office across the pike came in, and
Gordon handed pen to Dyckman
Il want you to witness Mr.. Dyck-
mans signature to this paper, Diliard,'
he said, folding the confession so that
it could not be read by the witness;
and when the thing was done. the
young man appended his notariai at
testation and went back to his duties
"Well?" said Dyckman, when they
were once more alone together.
That's all,' said Gordon, CURLY. As
long as you are discreet, you needn't
lose any sleep over this. If you don't
mind hurrying little, you can make
the 10: 40 back to town."
Dyckman restrapped his books and
made a show of Fastening. But before
he closed the office door behind him he
had seen Gordon place the typewriter
sheet, neatly folded, on top of the thick
packet, swapping an elastic band over
the whole and returning it to Its pig
eonhole in the small safe.
