Memorial to Late Senator Proctor


A memorial window, which has
been attracting much attention, is
one which the Tiffany studio of New
York has recently placed in the
Union church, Proctor. The memoir
ial consists of two square openings,
embracing picturesque landscape
scene with its tinted foliage, rolling
hills, and stream, and was ex-
ecuted throughout in Tiffany Fay-
rile glass under the personal super
vision of Louis c. Tiffany. The
mountain brook which has it's
source in the distant hills, makes its
way irregular through the valley,
formed by the converging hillsides.
On the right hand side of the brook
fir trees are growing with their dark
trunks and foliage in pleasing con-
trast to the light and slender white
birch trees and other forest trees on
the opposite side.
Through the trees and looking up
the valley is seen vista of the sum-
mer sky. full of light and radiancy,
with blue and purple lines which
lend to the foliage of the trees a de-
Hcate translucent glow. The hills
in the distance, are tinted with
purple by the haze and sky, and
all these glorious colors are reflected
in the mountain stream. The glass
was made especially for the work,
and which is particularly noticeable
for it's depth of tone and brilliancy
of color, at the same time being in
harmony with the requirements of
naturalistic details. No surface
paints or pigments have been used,
and all the effect of light and shade
and graduation of colors have been
obtained wholly in the glass, with
the result that the full qualities of
the material have been preserved.
The following inscription and text
are placed on the bank of this
stream: "The strength of the hills
is his also. Psalm xcv.
In memory of Redfield Proctor,
founder of this village and it's in
dustry."

HOW RACES CAN
 LIVE IN PEACE

Washington, June 5-Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas, addressing a gather ing of Confederate veterans tonight, de- clared that if the two races are to live in peace in this country it must be with the black race in constant recognition of its inferiority.
 Speaking of Jefferson Davis, in ob- servance of whose birthday the gathering was held, Senator Bailey said he was less responsible for the conflict between the states than any other man and was the last man in all the south to aban- don the hope of a reconciliation.
 'The truth of history was with the Confederate people" said the senator. "rhe fathers would never have formed this union if they had not believed that 1t could be dissolved for cause. If the southern people believed they could not remain in the union with honor and safe ty they had right to secede.' There was applause when Senator Bai- Hey presented an aged negro, James A. Jones, who had served as MT. Davis body servant. He is the only man liv- ing,' said Senator Bailey, who knows where the seal of the Confederate states is, and he won't tell
 Many shook hands with the old negro who had Jefferson Davis cane with him.

TESTIMONIAL CONCERT
Given to Miss Jessie Cross Under
 Management of Emile Levy

The testimonial concert to Miss Jessie Cross, given under the mahagement of Emile Levy at the Seals piano ware rooms last night, attracted an appreeia- tive audience of fair size. The programme presented many excellent compositions and several very light pieces.

IIartzell, Miss Gladys Enslen, Miss Fern Minor. Miss Henrie Oslin and MT. Levy, the latter bei5g the accom- panist for the singers. Miss Archibald and Miss Osin are pupils of Prof. Hart zell and their respective numbers were for two pianos, the teacher playing the second piano.
 Mrs. Chandler Mrs. Fies and MT. Shaddick each sang in musicanly style. Mrs. Chandler always true in pitch, dis played exceptionally fine vocalization last night, and Mrs. Fies, with a sweet, sympathetic and well-trained voice. made a fine impression. Among the best num- bers was Mrs. Blocks piano solo, Al logro Apassionata, one of Saint-Saens' very late compositions. MT. Levy as ac- companist added greatly to the pleasure Of the evening. He proved himself to be an experienced musician. He is one of the most accomplished accompanists ever heard in Birmingham.

SENSIBLE REMARKS
 ON CUT-OVER LANDS

In the course of his annual report. Sec retary M l.. Bixler of the Hattiesburg (Miss) Commercial club makes some sensible and timely remarks on the sub
 feet of the development of the cut-over lands of that region. The owners of these lands must make up their minds that they cannot realize the full potential value of their holdings, but that large portion thereof must be parted with to make any of it of considerable value What MT. Bixler says of the future of Hattiesburg in it's dependence upon the mitigation of these cut-over lands is particularly sen sible. The lumber business in the state will support such towns as Hattiesburg for time. and insure them rapid growth but with the failure of that busi- ness as the mills cut out unless some- thing has come as an offset, there will in- evitably be an interregnum of stagnation with a depression of all values. that will end only when the depression of values vestment. Such an interregnum of stag nation can be avoided and a continuous and rapid growth in wealth and popula- ton ensured only by an enlightened and far-seeng policy of offering these cut
 over lands at price that will sell them, until substantial start is made toward securing settlers to cultivate them.
 Many of the holders of cut-overlands in Mississippi, and throughout the south generally, are not only willing but anx
 ious to proceed on this policy, but it is to be feared that many look at the ulti-

Girls

oi ilo
 Again the Classy Schiller Players at the Bijou have achieved a success. this time in their seventh production, Clyde Fitch's Girls" The play last night was one of the prettiest yet given and one of the most charming, and perhaps it was in a manner due to the fact, as the title in- dcates. that the company's men for once were suppressed, and the ladies left alone to their supreme undertaking.
 To attempt an outline of the play would be wholly uncalled for and little short of presumptious. Imagine three enchant- Ing young girls to have become soured towards that species known as the genus homo, and figure out all kinds of vows that have been made by these innocents in forswearance of the bonds of matri- mony. Then introduce a young gallant or two. There is hardly any outline to be grasped and like the painter with his cloud, you must try to catch only the physiognomy,
 Again to Miss Nora Shelby fell the leading part of this latest presentation, Girls" and 1t goes without saying that this delightful actress accomplished a great deal with her role. As leader of the band of men-militant women na- turaly there is need for the employment of severity of temperament. Neverthe- less, Miss Shelby succeeds well in throw ing a soft, subdued light upon the part which others might sacrifice entirely to tine demands of the play
 Undoubtedly Miss Marie Grayber was a favorite of last nights audience, and she became such by virtue of her usual vivacity and winsomeness. There is al- ways in every play an exact role for this young lady. or at least the audience thinks so, and hence the conclusion that Miss Grayber has a very distinct and very clearly expressed personality Miss Helen Scott and Miss Ida Thomas also deserve creditable mention for the man, ner in which they play their parts.
 Clifford Bruce distinguished himself with especially good acting and was just such a type as was absolutely necessary to instill into the minds of hi, audience q confidence in his ability to untemper the resolutions of the three delightful young men-haters. He was ably support cd by the acting of Rollo Lloyd who seems to put more into a part than it is possible to ever get out again Roy Gordon. was also in evidence again with very strong delineation of his charac- ter.

 Mir Bixler says:
 Looking to the future the most import ant work we have to do, in my opinion, is the development of our agricultural re- sources, and I am sure that all of our people are not aware of the difficulties In
 the way of such rapid progress as is de- sirable. The speed with which vast acres
 of our timber land is being denuded and
 which becomes unproductive should excite the deepest concern in the minds of every business man in Hattiesburg. We afe all most hemmed in by a vast body of cut over land which brings no revenue to our city or towns in the immediate vicinity of those undeveloped lands. We cannot escape the conviction that more than an ordinary effort must be put forth to set tie this problem. Owners of large bodies
 of land are usually reluctant to sell and
 unwilling to pay taxes on their full value.
 No community can thrive surrounded by
 a large body of unproductive land, and we cannot permit condition to exist which means constant depreciation of real estate values, with 0 corresponding de- crease in bank assets and taxable. values which will finally mean the end of muni- Icipal improvements and such a general de- Imoralization that hundreds of people must sustain loss that can be avoided by intel ligent action on the part of those most vitallv interested
 The last census shows that the greatest gain in population and wealth has been | in those agricultural states where the | large land holdings have been decreased, and that almost no material progress has
 been made in those states where the land owners have increased their holdings, Iowa and Missouri being notable exam ples. Fortunately for south Mississippi these vast areas are totally unproductiVe to their owners and we have no large cat tie or sheep interests to make our diff entities harder to overcome, and we should be vigilant to prevent the already large
 land holdings in this section unless some
 compensating advantages are to be de-
 rived by the sale of the denuded lands to
 actual settlers at reasonable prices.
