At the meeting of the Commercial
Club last night the committee appoint
ed to solicit funds with which to erect
additional buildings on the site of the
old South Mississippi College, for the
proposed Baptist Woman's College, re-
ported that $11 500 had been subscrih-

Earnest pleas were made to the club
by President T. S. Jackson and others
to raise the additional $4,000 needed
and a number of those present agreed
to raise sums from 5000 to 800 until
sufficient number of pledges were
made to make the $4,000 desired. Mr..
Jackson expressed great appreciation
of the public spirit shown, and said
he was quite sure the institution will
be a great benefit to Hattiesburg and
rapidly grow to be one of the leading
denominational institutions in the
South.
The subscription committees will

COTTON TARIFF
REVISION BILL
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, July 25.-The new cot
ton tariff revision bill submitted to-
day to the caucus of the House Dem
ocrats from the Ways and Means COM
mittee cuts the duties from an eQuiva-
lent advalorem rate of 1872 per cent
under the Payne-Aldrich law to an
gelage of advalorem rate OF 2706
per cent under the Wilson bill of 1894.
In the last Democratic tariff schedule
the average advalorem rate was 43.76.
Democratic leader Underwood eX-
p aimed the cotton bill to the Demo
cratic caucus this afternoon. The
schedules" he said, ''are cut practi-
cally in half and wo will push it
through the House with little debate.

perform duty to the public which is
clearly due, without compulsion. If
the railroads have been made aware
of the conditions prevailing at this
crossing and will not act, then what
ever rights the public have should be
forcibly brought to their attention by
the City Commissioners, as that body
is now supposed to be organized on a
strictly business basis, when it is
made the duty of the street commits
sioner to handle such matters and it
ought to be an easy matter for that
commissioner on whose shoulders this
burden rests, to put it right up to the
railroad companies and learn whether
they will or will not do the needful in
this matter.
"The New Orleans & North Eastern
railroad has evidenced their apprecia-
ton of the value of the beautiful when
they erected their splendid passenger
station here. Their grounds so we'll
kept are q delight to the eye. Now, if
1t is their duty unaided to fix that
crossing, why delay the work? If per-
chance some one else should be held
Irresponsible for this work, let our COM
missioners find out who should share
in this much-needed improvement and
then go right to work and see that
those responsible be required to each
do their part.
eff the work can't be done any other
way, let the city do it, and do it quick,
as it is certain Hattiesburg needs to
have Mobile street crossing fixed and
fixed right, and fixed right now"

In Plans Presented-SeveraI Repre-

The Board OF Trustees of the State

board.
The building committee, composed
of T. P. Scott, w. T. Lowery and H.

they have in a sense acted as an ad-

suggestions that would be of assist

all probability be adopted without any
material change. Small changes will
perhaps be suggested and adopted
that will in no wise affect the plans

The Trustees will likely wind up the
business before them this afternoon.

be ready to advertise for bids for the

Several representatives of building

the construction of the college build
ings and other details that will faciif-
tate them in preparing bids.

Mobile Street Crossing
Exceedingly Liue Issue

The bad condition of the Mobile
street railroad crossing is so unsightly
that the subject of it's Improvement
viii not down. Some time ago. so
The News is informed, Mayor Rich
promised the other two commission
ers that if the matter was put into
MS hands and he was given authority
to attend to it, that he could and
would have the necessary improve
ments made. And about that same
time the Mayor authorized the state
ment that the railroad authorities had
promised definitely and positively to
make said repairs without any further
unnecessary delay. Alice samee the
repairs have not been made and ap-
parently are no nearer being made
than they were years ago when the
railroad officials first promised to
make them.
IN view OF this unseemly delay, and
Mayor Rich having failed to deliver
The goods as he thought he could, isn't
it about time Commissioners Hardy

Attorney General Hudson
Made Plea To The Voters

Attorney General S. S. Hudson spoke
to fair sized and representative audi
ence at the court house last night in
the interest of his candidacy to sue
ceed himself as Attorney General Mr.
Hudson was introduced by Judge D.
M. Watkins, who told of Mr.. Hud-
sons career and held him up as a man
in every way capable of holding the
high office of Attorney General of Mis-
sissippi with credit and distinction to
the state.
Mr.. Hudson started his address with
a defense of his administration and on
account of the important questions that
have been up to him to pass on, all of
which he said, have been settled in a
manner satisfactory to the state. He
compared the duties of the Attorney
General with those of the Governor of
the state and said that the Attorney
General should be a broad minded
man, versed in law and with a wide
experience in practice in order to per-
form the duties of the office as they
should be. Mr.. Hudson spoke rather
lightly of his opponent, Hon Ross
Collins, and said he was a little under
ling that should be looked after by his
mother.
The speaker referred to Mr.. Collins
criticism of him in reference to the
Hines case and said that Mr. Collins
has not a sufficient knowledge of the
law to know the status of the case
and what is possible in the matter MI

One of the visiting comets has prov.

the Kiess comet, which was discovered
about July by the Lick Observatory,
on the summit of Mount Hamilton,
near San Jose, CAL, and was later pick
ed up by the Yerkes Observatory, at
Williams Bay, Wis.
The astronomers had high hopes
that this comet would overcome it's

Hudson said that ne had endeavored
to get a compromise with Mr.. Hines,
but that the state statute is a bungle-
some one and easy of evasion, and
that Mr.. Hines has taken advantage of
1t by organizing subsidiary compan-
les in Mississippi under other names
than the Hines Lumber Company, and
that his efforts to arrange a compro-
mise were in vain Mr.. Hudson read
a letter from the attorneys in charge
of the cases against Hines for the
state in which they stated he has Civ
en- them all the assistance in his pow
er in their prosecution of the case.
Mr. Hudson said that the case will
have to be fought out in the courts.
Again referring to his opponent, he
said that he (Collins) had been riding
on the coat tail of Bilbo, but that he
deserted him in his time OF need when
attacked recently. A plea was made
to the voters that they not be influenc-
ed by prejudice and vote as partisans,
but that they vote intelligently and
elect one capable of performing the
duties of Attorney General. A letter
was read stating that Mr.. Collins has
offered H. N. Ryan, ESQ.,, a position
of assistant to him in case he is elect
ed. Mr.. Hudson declared such an
act barters away the states rights
and that in view of the fact that Mr.
Ryan has only practiced law three
years, when the statute of the state
says one must have practiced FIVE
years, his appointment to the office
would be in violation of the law.
