WATKINS MACHINE WORKS
is BIG INSTITUTION

There is probably no concern in
Hattiesburg that occupies a more
substantial recognition in the eyes of
the public than the above concern
that has watched and grown with the
town, contributing an appreciated in
tcrest in every endeavor that has had
for its aim the betterment of the city
and the community at large. Mr.. r.
o. Watkins, the head of this institu-
ton, is a practical man and the
growth of the plant is due to wise
management, untiring energy and per-
severance under some trying situa-
tons. The company is fully equipped
to handle any size job from the building
o. c locomotive to the most triiling of
r'pair work. Their trade is not con
fined to the state, but reaches every
part Of the South where first-class
work is appreciated.

London, Dec. 1S.-The British gov

telephone system from the private
company which has hitherto con-
trolled it and it will hereafter be
operated by the postoffice depart
ment The naturalization of the
hello system is expected to result
in better service. and lower rates. The
telegraph lines of the country are
already conducted by the postoffice,
and, while there has been an annual
deficit of about $5,OOO,OOO, the rates
are but fraction of those charged in
the United States for the same SER
vice.

will eventually be able to supply tele-
phone service for $40 a year. In Den

subscription is $11, and the Swedish
government is able to supply tele
phones at an installation charge for
private houses of "a and an annual

In denying responsibility for the
death of members of his crew, Sand
ford asserted that the yacht Coronet
has always been absolutely under the
control of the will of God. He said
that they had been forbidden by God
to visit any country over which they
had prayed the previous year, and
that they expected to get food in New

Sanford is highly indignant at re-

DAYLIGHT Bill Passes

After an hour and a half of debat-
ing, the house yesterday passed the
daylight saloon bill. The amendment
of Representative Bracket. putting
the closing hour at 9 o'clorI was
adopted and the bill as amended went
through with the emergency clause "a
tached. Should the measure in It's
present condition pass the senate, and
it is altogether likely that it will, the
instrument will become effective i'm
mediately upon the signature OF the
governor to it. There will then be
no chance to invoke the rec end9ln.
Immediately upon the measures te-
ing brought up for discussion, Brack-
EFT Offered his amendment which was
followed by a substitute amendment
by Glassner, of Bon Homme. Class
ner's proposition was to make the
closing hour optional with the com
munities. He made a strong speech
in defense of his amendment which
was answered by Whiting and Millett.
Representative Vercoc, Of Lead. de-
Tended Brackets proposition and in
the course of his talk took except on
to the published statement tfat the
Black Hills delegation favored the 'all
night" saloon. Representative Brown
contended that the proposed bill would
react against the progress already
made along the lines of Temperance
Sutley and Hayes followed with talks
for and against the bill and the Glass
ner amendment was put to a vote. 1t
vas lost by a vote of IS to 20. The
Bracket proposition carried by about
the same vote by which the OTTER
amendment was lost. Upon roll call
on the original bill. as amended. the
vote showed it had carried by 70 to
q. Thus the victors had nine 0
votes than were necessary to carry
with the emergency.
A careful poll of the senate reveals
that the vote on the daylight saloon
bill in the upper house is going to
be much closer than in the lower body
Friends of the measure express their
confidence that it will easily carry in
the senate. but Judging by the express
ions Of the individual members il is
difficult to see just wherein they are
to figure out a "cinch.'
In its present shape the bill would
require at least thirty votes to carry
This would leave fourteen members on
the other side. A poll today showed
more than sixteen senator's opposed
to it, which would be enough to de-
feat it unless the emergency clause
is removed.
Many members who are in sympathy
with the bill are going to vote against
it because it would go into effect i'm
mediately mon the governors signing
it, should it pass. The question has
been raised of the injustice of collect
ing q license with the understanding
that the saloon was to run from five
until eleven, and then turning and cut
ting three hours from this tine allow
ed for doing business. 1t is contend
ed that if three hours can be ~rightfrlly
cut off, then six or ten can be. Right
or wrong this point is going to be a
bone of contention when the bill has
reached the senate floor.
1t is understood that the anti
saloon people are preparing another
