age-Road open at Noon.

The heavy rain that began Sunday
afternoon, continuing intermittingly
until this morning, resulted in the
trains on all the railroads running in
TO Hattiesburg being more or less de-
layed. Train No. 6 on the G. & s. l.,
which leaves here at 5:43 bound
North, was unable to get to Jackson

iof note ~. Mendenhall, and re-

A work train was sent to Menden-
hall early this morning to repair the
damaged track. Officials of the road
stated at noon today that trains on
this road were 40 was fA,ted and
that the road was cIeaoae ~ South
bound passenger due here at 6:5S p.
m. Sunday was delayed an hour North
of Braxton, where the roadbed was
washed out somewhat.
Train No. l on the Northeastern
due here at 500 a. M, was two hours
late, but not because of the rain
storm. The Mississippi Central pass
enger, which leaves Hattiesburg at
2:40 p. m, was delayed at Edison on
account of the road having been dis
turbed Last night work train was
sent out over this road to Homochitto
to watch the bridge and take away the
drift wood.
The Western Union telegraph wire
between vossburg and Laurel was re-
ported down this morning and there
was no service between these two
places.
Yesterdays rain was general, but
the heaviest in this part of the state
seems to have been between Hatties-
burg and Jackson. There is said to
have been a regular cloud-burst at
Braxton, and the passengers on the
belated G. & S. I. train bound South
had no reason to doubt this state
ment. The ground at and near that
place was covered with water and
the dwellings not setting up off the
ground were flooded.

A score of manufacturers have accept
ed the governments invitation to

TO THE CITY in MARCH
LARGEST BANK
MAKES fine SHOW
in ITS Reserves

The News publishes in this issue
the annual statement of the First-Na-
tional Bank of Commerce of this city,
This bank statement should be read
by all, and in connection Herewith
the reading matter accompanying
same.
The statement is especially interest
ing because it shows the bank to be
the largest banking institution in our
state, and it also reveals very strong
position as to reserves. This is al.
ways an important item to consider
in criticising bank statement.
The reading matter accompanying
the statement sets forth briefly the
views of those associated with the
bank as to what present financial con-
ditions are in these parts, and sug-
gests line of conduct and action for
the future, which is timely and whole
some, and all would do ws's to take 1t
seriously to heart.
We cannot but endorse and heartily
approve of the suggestions as to the
present and future policy of the bank
regarding its investments. Banks
should be as liberal in the matter Of
extending accommodations as circum-
stances and reason will permit, as the
volume of business and the prosperity
of the people are largely regulated by
the money supply, but at the same
time the bankers should not forget
that their deposits represent the saw
ings and working capital of the peo-
pie. Due care should be exercised by
them in using these funds, and the
customers of banks should also keep
this fact in mind. As the bank says
in the announcement referred to, the
people should be prepared to carry
out their contracts. The fact that
many could not and did not do this,
is what caused the recent tie-up of the
banks. If those borrowing from the
banks had prepared to pay their notes
at maturity, we would have had no
panic.
Each citizen should keep before
himself constantly the fact that he
counts for or against the good of his
country, and unless he makes good
personally, he is positive detriment
to ALL The condition of a community
is determined by the conduct and de,
gree of success accomplished by those
who comprise it.
We are proud that Hattiesburg has
the largest bank in Mississippi. Dis
tinetion of this character means some
thing. 1t means the people of these
parts have made good, and a showing
Of this kind will not only inspire and
stimulate us to higher achievements.
but 1t will attract attention afar, and
reflect much credit abroad upon this
section of our beloved commonwealth.

GOVERNMENT CHANGES
WITHOUT FORMALITY
The Commissioners Took on Their
New Duties This Morning Without
Delay, and the Machinery Rolls on
Quietly as in the Past.

With the closing session of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the
city of Hattiesburg, Miss" Saturday
night and the formal administration
of the oath of office by Mayor Donald
to Mayor-Elect Rich and Commission
ers Hardy and Fuller this morning,
Hattiesburg passed into the column
of commission-governed cities today
as quietly as if there had been sim
ply no change of officers under the
old form. The change was made as
informally as it was possible to make
it, and but for the presence of Alder
man Fail, the city officials and few
spectators, no one would have known
that most radical change had taken
place in the city affairs,-a change
which will be tried out during the
next four years under the eyes of
scores of other Southern cities who
are inclined to follow suite.
Old "couneiI Days. Pass.
Mayor Donald presided at the clos
ing session, while in their seats were:
Alderman-at-Large M. j. McGrath.
First Ward-Aldermen E. J. Mitch
ell and W. E. Fail.

Cameron and H. c. Greer.
Third Ward-Aldermen A. T. Powe
and ]. r. Haney.
Fourth Ward-Aldermen r. C. Nc
Kenzie and N. R. Mccullough.
Clerk Farley had a pile of papers
before him at the opening of the ses-
sion in the way of approval accounts
and bills. For an hour the body was
busy cleaning house" as it were. A
dozen men serving terms on the
gang were pardoned for various reas-
ons, leaving in the city Jail but s
prisoners for the new administration,
Kind Words for All.
At the close, DR.. Donald, the retir-
ing mayor, made brief talk, express
ing his appreciation of the support he
had received from the council and as
suring them that he would always
hold them in high esteem.
"As your presiding officer and the
mayor of the city, | have done my
BEST said he, land for this reason
for what mistakes have made | have
no apologies We have in the past
differed-not personally, but political
ly, so that with the passing of the
council all of the past is buried to-
night with the ending of the old year"
Mayor Donald expressed a cordial
wish that the new commission would
be successful in handling the city's
affairs, and assured the new body of
his good will.
Commission in Charge.
1t was at o'clock this morning that
the formal change took place. Mayor
Donald grouping Mayor-Elect Rich
and Commissioners Hardy and Fuller,
administered the oath. He had pre-
viously examined the commissions
signed by Governor Noel. and the
bonds which had been approved
