regular meeting in October the prison
board of trustees will buy groceries

reasons are given in the bill. for ask

written in disparagement of Florida

Florida lands like South Mississippi,

In this Connection it may not be amiss
to relate that Florida and Texas lands

Still FIGHTING
IN OLD MEXICO

Laredo, Tex, Sept. 19.-Telegraphic
advices last night report a serious bat
tie near Camargo, Mexico, yesterday
between adherents of the Socialist
agitator Ricardo Flores Magon and
Maderistas representing the Federal
government.
The Magonistas were defeated with
a loss of ~ men and % horses cap
tured by the Maderistas. The Ma
deristas had three men killed.
AS no mention of wounded men is
contained in the latest dispatches it
is presumed that the combat was one
of mo quarter"
The affray did not occur in the town
of Camargo as at first believed, but in
the country near the village and the
city of Mier both of which are stu
ated on the Rio Grande.
A rumor is affoat in Laredo that
Revnosa. down the river from Camar-
oc. has been captured by the Magon-
tetas. As the telegraph office at
Rcyrosa was closed last night no con
frmation or denial can be obtained.

Several Manufactures Are
Seeking Southern Locations

An important meeting of the Direc-
tors of the Commercial Club will be
held tonight, this being the regular
monthly meeting of the directors, and
matters yl much interest will be dis
cussed.
The club has had considerable cor
resnondenoo with the Florence Wagon
Works Of Florence, Ala. with view
TO interesting the concern in Hatties-
curb as location for their plant, and
it is thought that if proper effort is
made this large concern can be induc-
ed to locate here The directors will
consider this proposition tonight and
will probably decide to send a commit

to the company together with all nee
essary information that would in

The Florence Wagon Works is one
of the largest manufacturing plants of
its kind in the south and represents
an investment of probably 100000, re
quiring at least forty acres of ground
for the plant and employing a large
force Of skilled workmen. The com
pany has made known its intention tc
remove from Florence and is now or
the lookout for another location. The
territory adjacent to Hattiesburg has
millions of feet of hardwood timber

PANAMA TOLLS
Being DISCUSSED
Royal Battle Between Railroads Prom
ised over This Very important
Question.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 1S.-Although
four years will pass before the Pana-
ma canal will be opened for traffic, the
matter of tolls is already being dis
cussed by railroad men and others in
terested in transportation. Many local
men believe that the long and short
haul decisions by the interstate COM
merce commission will cause the rail-
roads at an early date to commence to
agitate legislation imposing heavy
tolls on all vessels passing through
the new gate. The decision of the
commission will have more far reach
ing results. it is declared, than was at
first supposed. It is known that the
steamship lines will fight the efforts
of the railroads to legislate for tolls
and a royal battle will be fought out
in congress-
One of the interesting features Of
the coming scrap is the fact that the
roads will take sides. The transcon-
llueuldl lines VIII cOnleHu ludI IOliS
should be exacted from all ships pass
ing through the canal, while the lines
with gulf ports, and other lines run
ming north and south, will cast their
| influence on the side of the steamship
companies. 1t is generally known tha;
many of the roads with gulf ports ara
already considering the organization
of steamship lines from Texas and
other gulf ports to the Pacific. They,
of course, will contend that no tolls
should be charged for the passage of
ships through the canal.
This will bring on another scrap
and the roads running north and south
will enter into a rate war with the
transcontinental lines for an equal di-
vision of the business between the

ON The CAUSE
Of LOCAL Suicide
REMAINS OF JOHN F. FoRSYTHE
WILL BE TAKEN TO NA7-
REM, ARKANSAS.
WAS A MAN OF ABILITY
Deceased Had Been Entrusted With
Many Heavy Responsibilities, And
Recent Loss of His Position Thought
To Have Made Him Despondent.

The remains of John F. Forsythe. !
who died by his own hand yesterday ,
morning at the Hotel Hattiesburg. will |
be carried to Warren. Arkansas, TO- /,
night for interment beside the grave !
of his first wife. Advices to this effect |.
We're received from friends of the !
deceased in that place, where he was
for many years a prominent lumber
man.
Nothing has developed since the sui
eide that throws any light on the trag-
edy or reveals the probable cause for
the act further than stated in the
first account. 1t is the general con
cluslon that temporary insanity in
duced by dependency or melancholy
was the immediate cause of the deed.
The suicide was a man who stood
high in the esteem of his employers
and for a great many years had held
the most responsible and high salaried
positions in their service. The Chi
cage Lumber and Coal Company by
whom he was employed had at differ
ent times assigned to him duties and
matters of business to transact that
required ability of high order Au-
gust of last year he was sent from
Warren, Ark. to Lumberton, Miss, to
take charge of the recently acquired
sawmill properties of the company.
The proposition at the latter place
was an undertaking of great RESPONSE
bility and is said to have worried him
no little in trying to make the plant
show results on timber supply he
considered eXorbitantly overestimated,
and when he was a short time ago
superseded in the position by another,
| it was blow to his pride that likely
drove him to self-destruction.
Pending instructions from friends
or relatives, the arrangements yester-
day were looked after by Mr.. T. o.
Watkins, who had been closely as
sociated with the deceased in a bust
ness way for the past year, and who
held a high opinion of him as a man
and his ability. 1t was impossible for
Mrs. Forsythe to come to Hatties-
burg due to sickness in her mothers
family at Pass Christian, where the
family is spending the summer. Nor
will she be able to accompany the
remains to Arkansas. The children
of the deceased are with Mrs For
sythe and will probably come to Hat
tiesburg tonight and go on to Warren

OIL MILL Will
take AN APPEAL

Jackson, Miss, Sept s1s.A-Appeal
will be taken to the Supreme Court
from the sentence imposed on the Mis-
sissippi Cotton Oil Company in the
circuit court of Lowndes county last
week for alleged violation of the sta
tutes relative to branding cotton seed
products.
The case was tried by jury, the COM
pany found guilty of misbranding its
products. and fine of $1,000 assessed
by the trial Judge.
1t is contented that the conviction
resulted from the vague and intangi-
BILE form of the statutes regarding
feedstuffs inspection, and that there
was no actual violation of law by the
company. This self-same question was
up for discussion at the recent con
yention of the Mississippi Cotton Seed
Crushers Association in this city at
which q resolution was adopted ask
ing the legislature to amend the
statutes and make their meaning more
clear. Al present the question What
