NJ. w. Clarke, an employe of the
Mississippi Central wood working shop
here, received injuries early this
that may prove fatal.
1t is reported Mr.. Clarke was in the
act of saving a large block of wood
with a rip saw, when by some means
a move was made that resulted in the
block slipping from his hands; and
falling against the saw, the block
bounced back, striking Mr.. Clark in
the face.
He received ugly bruises and lacera-
tions all over his face, especially about
his eyes and nose. Mr.. Clarke's nose
was broken and the bridge of it was
virtually cut away and his left eye
was bruised and cut in manner that
it will likely go out.
The unfortunate man was rushed to
the Hattiesburg Hospital, where his
injuries were given attention by the
hospital surgeon, and he is resting as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances.

Busy Times at the Local
Yards of the Railroads

While the railroad yards of Hatties-
burg always present a cosmopolitan
appearance, the activity has been un-
usually great since early last night.
On account of the storm on the Gulf
coast and the damage to the Louisville
& Nashville railroad tracks between
Gulfport and New Orleans at the Rig
olets, all passenger trains of the l.. &
N. except those of local nature, are
being detoured by Hattiesburg over the
N. o. & N. e. and G. & S. |. railroads.
A number of lengthy trains have
passed in both directions, and the yard
managers are kept busy handling the
heavy traffic.
Definite information cannot be OBJ
tanned as to the damage to the l.. &
N. bridge at Rigolets, but train crews
state that they are pretty certain that
at least two hundred feet of the bridge
has been washed away.
If this is the case the l.. & N. trains

are unable to pass. The only train
to reach the coast yesterday from
New Orleans was No. 6. All others

A MESSENGER BOY
RECEIVED INJURIES

Sidney Hendricks, IA years of age,
Western Union messenger boy, who
was knocked off his bicycle Tuesday
night en- route to deliver a message,
has recovered from the slight bruises
he received sufficiently to resume his
work. 1t appears that Henry Fulting,
the driver of the colliding auto, footed
his horn, and at the same time turned
his car to one side to pass the boy, but
they were both going the same direc-
tion and the boy turned the same way
the machine did, making the accident
unavoidable. The only material dam
age done was to the back wheel of the
bicycle.

TOURED BY HATIIESBURG

Elysian Fields Street, and followed
them to Hattiesburg, Miss. From Hat
tiesburg, the way south to Gulfport
was taken on the Gulf and Ship Island
road, where the Louisville and Nash
vile main line was taken for the reg
ular route. The delayed through
trains, which were stopped at Rigolets
by the storm, came into the city over
the Gulf and Ship Island and the New
Orleans and Northeastern, arriving
from eighteen to twenty hours late.
Mr.. Ridgely said that the detour
made via Hattiesburg will only cause
delay of from three to four hours in
each train. Today the Louisville and
Nashville will run all it's through
trains as though nothing had hap
pened, endeavoring as far as possible
to maintain quick schedules.
If the bridge at Rigolets has not
been seriously damaged, and can be
repaired in time. the trains will pur
sue their regular route. If the bridge
is out of commission the trains will
either leave over the New Orleans and

be taken to the Rigolets and ferriet

yacht and placed aboard another traiI

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL EN-.
TERTAIN SEVERAL DlsTIN-
GUISHED VISITORS.
Mr.. DAVE IN NUMBER
Event Will Be One OF The Most I'M
portant Ever Held In The City
In Business Way.

Some time ago the Hattiesburg Com
mercial Club decided to make the an
nual meeting for the election of Off
GERS AN event of more than ordinary
importance by having a dinner to
which all the members and their
friends should be invited and provide /,
a program which will furnish inspira-
ton for the coming year. To help
along in the good work Mr.. G. Groves
nor Dave, managing director of the
Southern Commercial Congress-; John
NJ. Parker, of New Orleans, vice-presi-
dent of that organization and Mr.. M.
B. Trezevant, manager of the New Or
leans Progressive Union, have been
invited and DR.. Dave has notified the
Commercial Club that he can be here
on Wednesday night, May the 3rd; so
it has been decided to hold the annual
election at that time and to have a
dollar dinner at the Hotel Hatties-
burg after the election of officers,
which will be held at the club rooms,
beginning at $50.
The event will be one of the most
important commercial meetings ever
held in Hattiesburg. Inspired by the
general trend of events and the prom

Clark says lis destined to make the

| try it is proposed to start out from
this meeting with determination to
} do things" that will reap for Hatties-
burg her full share of this prosperity;
and to do so of course the Commercial
Club must have definite plans for get
) ting the best results.
Judging by the number of members
who have already asked to be counted
in at the dinner, there will perhaps
be as many as two hundred boosters"
present.
The Merchants Grocery Co., always
first to answer ready" has put in an
order for fifteen plates for their owc
force and will probably have some out
of-town guests in addition
In this connection it might be well
to state that each member will be ex-
pected to pay for their plate and those
OF their guests, this being the usual
way of providing the Expense money"
for such dinners.
, Mr.. Dave, who has been touring the
, South In order to encourage the or
ganization and maintenance of COM
mercial organizations, is quite familiar
with the development which has been
going on in South Mississippi, and the
plans for the future, but his coming to
Hattiesburg on this occasion will make
him much better acquainted with the
opportunities for closer cooperation
between the Southern Commercial
Congress, the Hattiesburg Commercial
Club and the big immigration plan
now under way.
Invitations will be issued tomorrow
for the dinner and the secretary of the
Club has been instructed to see as
many members personally as he can;
but in any event it is desired that each
member notify either the secretary or
, President Jackson, how many plates
, they wish, in order that it may be
/ known by Monday how many diners
/ must be provided for.
