ANTICIPATING.

We are apt to rely upon future
prospects and become really ex-
pensive while we are only rich
In possibility. We live up to
our expectations, not to our pos
sessions, and make a figure pro-
portionable to what we may be,
not what we are. We outrun
our present income, as not doubt
ing to disburse ourselves out of
the profits of some future plane;
project or reversion that we
have in view.-Addison.

BROTHE RHOOD.

l have no respect for the man
or social fugitive who fees lest
he fall. If the brotherhood Of
man Is fact instead of fancy
everybody who has fallen has
the right to helping hand. In
this way it is possible to acquire
a moral worth unequaled by
those receiving the pfaudits of
the multitude-to acquire
moral heroism unequaled by the
warrior. The recognition of so
cial duty is the key to the peace
of the world The recognition
of social duty will ultimately
bring to the world universal
peace and the end of all wars.

The umpires, for the first time in the
history of the Cotton States, will be
absolute bosses of the job during the
game. This has not been possible
heretofore, because the forfeit posted
by each club was so little that team
could be withdrawn from the circuit
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-01-18

The Cotton States directors made a
wise move when they decided to open
the season earlier and close earlier.
During the month of August many low
ers of the game are away, and this
month has always been losing one,
and, by closing early, it will save some
of the clubs from loss on the season.
The schedule, it is hoped, will reduce
the mileage a bit. This cannot be cut
down much, but every mile will help
the club owners to some extent.

LOVE.
A mighty pain to love it is,
And it's pain that pain to miss.
But of all pains the greatest

1t is to love, but love in vain.

GET RIOT CALL
WHEN BROTHERS PLAY

AS the result of a riot call, which
was sent in to the Chester police
last night by some person in the
neighborhood of the Consumers
wharf. the City Hall police, together
with those who happened to be there
at that time, were entertained with a
guitar and harmonica concert render
ed by Professor William Brown OF
this city.
From the reports received, It ap-
tpeared that Brown and his brother
had been filling a musical engage
ment out in the neighborhood OF
Essington and had returned 10 Ches-
ter for the purpose of catching the
boat for their home city. The PRO
fessor" was carrying MS musical in
struments and his brother was de-
sirous of taking care of them for him.
The caretaking took place on the
wharf and the brothers started a tug
OF war, using the guitar as the rope.
II was a friendly tussle in every re-
spect. from a brotherly standpoint,
but some person sent in the report
to police headquarters to the effect
that there was a general fight in
progress at the wharf and the police
rushed there and took the men into
custody. They we're released later.

GETS HIS CAR;
WILL NOT PROSECUTE

James Winchester and william
Johnson, two colorsd chautfeurs Of
this city, have been captured in Phil
adelphia where they were trying to
sell an automobile alleged TO have
been stolen from Wilmington parties.
Winchester was in the employ of
Harry Otteni, local manager for the
Maxwell Company. He sent Winchester
out to give a demonstration with a
Mitchell runabout of the 1909 type.
Johnson, who is employed as chauffeur
for John G. Gray, attorney, went out
in the machine with Winchester. This
was the last seen Of the two colored
men and the runabout until word came
that they we're arrested in Philadel-
phia. A motor cycle policeman is said
to have had his suspicious aroused by
ovsrhearing the two colored men offer
to sell the automobile to a man for
$50. He placed them under arrest and
notified the local police.
Mr. Otteni said today that he would
not prosecute the young men. He re-
caived a letter from Chief Black e
present to the Police Department in
Philadelphia and left for that city be-
fore noon to bring back the car.

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE.
Va. August 23-With a new venire of

Two men were placed in the box In
addition to the twelve secured on
Monday. Both were farmers. They

Talesman after talesman declared
that he had. decided that Beattie was
guilty and therefore could not give
him a fair trial, and one even de-
clared that he Just didn't want to try
him"
Several escaped by having consci-
entious scruples against the death

CITY HAY CROP
KEEPS GROWING

That crop OF hay in the rear OF the
Police Station is growing nicely, and
nobody seems to want It. Before the
Police Commission had the automobile
house for the departments machine
erected in the rear OF the City Hall
the Street and Sewer Department kept
the grass and flower beds in nice
shape. The centre bed. however
was ripped out TO make room for the
police garage, and shrubbery was
snatched out of the ground by the
roots. II being the middle of sum
mer, this rough treatment put the
beds out Of commission. Since all
this was accomplished. the Street and
Sewer Department has allowed the
grass to grow until It can no longer
be cut with a grass mower. Scythes
will be required to get through It.
Whether the public building com
mittee of Council or the Street and
Sewer Department will attend 10 the
plot in the future is a matter for con-
lecture.

IMPROVING
CITY APPROACHES
CauSeway Paving Only Fore
runner of What is TO
be Done

President Sparks of the Street and
Sewer Commission and Street Com
missioner Pierson today made an in
spection Of the repaved causeway be-
yond Market street bridge to the city
line. The road was completed last
week and is said to be one Of the best
pieces of this kind in the state. The
old road. bed was used for founda-
ton, this being covered with crushed
stone and filled in with, three differ
ent preparations on as many stretches
namely Tarvia. Bermudez and asphalt
and Ugite. These preparations are
similar in character, but made by
different firms and the department
wishes to test all three. The new
road is "a feet wide to certain point
and eighteen feet from there to the
city line.
"The new roadway" said Mr.. Sparks
lis the beginning of improvements
contemplated for the causeway which
We want to restore to its original
condition. Trees that have beer
butchered will be replaced. 1t is the
boards intention to make every ap-
proach to the city as attractive as
possible"
The trees now standing in tn,
causeway have been trimmed and an
other growth will add much to theil
beauty. The shoulders of the road
composed Of the bare earth will also
take on a better appearance wher
travelled over more and the grass
grows.
THE dust now on the new road,
said Street Commission Pierson, will
soon disappear, it being but the sur
face finish of the fine stone. The roaC
will then look like asphalt.
In addition to the Improvements al
ready made to the causeway, thu
Street and Sewer Department has re
placed the FIVE arc lamps with four
teen high power Tungsten incandes
cent lights. the idea being to bette
distribute the light, the arc lamp
causing such a glare and lighting bu
such a small area.
Mr.. Sparks made the statement tina
the installation of Tungsten lamp
will go on and eventually all ar
lights will disappear from the cit,
streets, the scheme being a better dis
tribution of light with the sam
candle power rather than having
glare and the light in spots.
