President w. Fl. Smith, of the Missis-
sprt Normal College, was last night
greeted by p crowd which tested the
capacity Of the club room, and it is
safe to say that no one went away dis
appointed.
That the President Of the Normal
College expects to become a citizen of
Hatueshurg in every sense of the
word. was made evident by the plans
he suggested for better country
schools and it was plain by
his talk that he wanted Hat
tiesburg and Forrest county to lead in
this work and that he, as a citizen of
the city and county, would pledge his
personal and official efforts to set an
example in consolidated rural schools
z (which would add to the cltys reputa-
tfoh for doing things and which would
repay the effort a hundred fold in bet
Ter farmers. more agricultural prod
duets and consequently increased
wealth.
Pr-sideu, Smith wishes to narrow
the difference which exists between
the city and country schools.
He wants 70 make the farm a place
which VIII be respected and liked,
Tstead of q lonesome place to be es-
capped from at the first opportunity. He
wants the country school houses to be

uptodate and the farm homes to have
those conveniences which will make
life as easy and comfortable as posi-

1t is through the proper system of

Planters were
TREATED RIGHT
SAYS THEY WERE NEVER DIS
CRIMiNATED AGAINST BY So
CALLED "sUGAR TRUST"
new YORK RATE WAS PAID
American Sugar Refining Company
Purchases About 100000 Tons Of
Louisiana Sugar Annually, Paying
For The Same $6oo,ooo
(By Associated PreSS.)

New York, July 25.-Henry C. Mott.
purchasing agent and director of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
the first witness today before the con-
gressional committee investigating
the so-called sugar trust declared
that in making purchases of sugar the
company never Disseminated against
any planters, never punished" the
Louisiana planters for selling sugar
to Independents and never arbitrarily
fixed the purchasing price of sugar.
Mott insisted if the Louisiana planters
had been Disseminated against it was
done by the local purchasing agent Of
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany and not with the knowledge or
consent of the company. Mott ad-
admitted the company paid the Louisi-
ana planters the New York rate, less
the freight rate, notwithstanding most
of the sugar purchased there was re-
fined in New Orleans. AS the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company pur-
chases about two hundred thousand
tons of Louisiana sugar, It pays the
planters six hundred thousand dollars
annually less than the New York
rate. Mott explained the company
had to purchase about two hundred
tons of Louisiana sugar within three
months and had to store about half OF
1t because the capacity of the New
Orleans plant was not sufficient to
refine enough within that period.
