The fact that the time limit had
expired wherein the English syndicate
were to make good their option for the
purchase of the properties of the Uni
ted States Lumber Co., and the fact
that the principal officers of this COM
pany and officials of the subsidiary
companies had meeting in Scranton,
Pa, Saturday, doubtless led to the
rumor current today, that the option
had been perfected.
Whether the rumor is true or not,
The News was not able to learn. If 1t
is true, leading officials of the local
office of the Newman Lumber Co., one
of the subsidiary companies, have not
been informed, and they are rather
anxious to learn the facts, for many
of them are stockholders in one or the
other companies and the consumma-
ton of the deal means a very nice
sale of their stock.
1t is true, however, that the time
liimt for perfecting the option, August
22, was extended to September 1st
which would indicate that the English
syndicate is still interested, and
whether that meeting at Scranton

After the accident it was necessary
to remove the tree from across the

The train then proceeded to Beau

Hattiesburg will within the next

way of a manufacturing plant. J. S.
Price and D. L. Norris, two gentlemen
formerly of South Carolina, will put
in plant on the site of the old Hat
tiesburg Wagon Factory for the pur-
pose of manufacturing hardwood
blocks which will be shipped to Eng
land to be made into shuttles. While
the business will not require the en-
ployment of large force of workmen,
the amount of money that will be put
in circulation throughout the coun-
try from the sale of the timber the
firm will use, will run into a large fig
ure, and mean a great deal to timber
owners.
The firm will buy persimmon and
dogwood timber and as the country ad-
jacent to Hattiesburg is well supplied
with these particular varieties OF
hardwood the buyers should have NO
difficulty in keeping their plant in
operation. Arrangements have been

liams, until three weeks ago book
keeper and general office man for the
Foote-Patrick Company, is under ar
rest in Shreveport, La, on a charge
of having embezzled more than s.,

Williams was prominent in the
business and social affairs of the city.
He was secretary treasurer of the
Laurel Drug Company until that COM
pany sold out two weeks ago, and it
is said that he possesses considerable
real estate.
1t is said that Williams has been
drinking heavily for the past several
months, but his business was be-
lieved to be in good shape. Three
weeks ago he disappeared from

places. The elopment was the topic
of conversation on the streets for
several days. when news came that
the pair had separated and that Mrs.
Rather was in Meridian.
In the meantime an expert accoun-
ant was placed on the books of the
Foote-Patrick Company, which is the
largest wholesale grocery in the city.
There was no intimation of a short
age, however. until today, when the
announcement came that Williams
had been arersted in Shreveport.

tion with Williams over the tele-
phone. 1t is understood that he will
return to Laurel without requisition

The congregations who assemble
at Main Street Methodist church are
being favored from Sabbath to Sab
bath with some very strong sermons
by the pastor, DR.. A. F. Watkins. His
sermon yesterday morning was a
forceful appeal to his hearers, to
consider the consequences of sin, and
his eXhortation could be briefly para
phrazed in the language of Sam Jones
saying, Quit your meanness."
The text was taken from Ezekiel
18th chapter, 90th verse, which reads:
Therefore will Judge you, o house
of Israel, everyone according to his
ways, saith the Lord God. Repent
and turn yourselves from all your
transgressions; so iniquity shall not
be your ruin
The scripture lesson was the whole
of chapter IS of Ezekiel's prophecy,
which the preacher declared to be the
Message of Jesus Christ by the lips
of His prophet Ezekiel"
The chapter clearly teaches four
great truths, and these furnished the
base and body of the sermon.
First, the great fact of the moral
responsibility of each individual Men
often excuse themselves for the in.
diligence of some cherished sinful
habit by referring to the fact that II
is either an inherited trait or con.
genital weakness. Ezekiel calls at.
tention to this sophistry, when he
says that no more shall Israel say
THE fathers have eaten sour grapes
and the childrens teeth are on edge
The irony of this proverb is too plain
to need a pointer. 1t is just as reas
enable to quote such an absurdity as
to claim that because a mans father
was a sinner he must be one also, OF
that any excuse for SHINING is fur
nished by the acts of an ancestor.
"The sin of Adam left its evil con
sequences on the race. Every mar
who sins is in Adams line. We are
disabled by Adams fall, but nothing
Adam ever did adds one particle Of
guilt to us. Guilt on our part means
that we, me, |, have sinned. ! have
done the wrong, l am the salty one

demnation for what some man in my

agement of the company, which coin
cides largely with the holders of the
bulk of the common stock. 1t Is be-
lieved that If only small minority
refused to approve the plans of the
management the court would be in
clined to disregard its objections
against the preponderating sentiment
of the others.
Initial steps toward the final dis
solution of the Standard Oil Company
will also be taken this week. The
oil trust will be split up into thirty
three companies, which will conduct
their respective businesses separately.
There were about sixty concerns
named as defendants in the suit first
brought against the oil trust, but the
actions against nearly half of them
were dismissed by the lower court,
and the final decision held that only
thirty-three companies were liable to
1 DunlSIlmtill uhuCi thS oiASA hA'h SsNNi
trust law. These are the ones which
will be operated separately under the
proposed reorganization scheme.
It is stated that the cost of opera
tion of both the oil and tobacco com
panies will be considerably increased
by the dissolution. Each of the sep
arate companies will have to have dis
tinct executive heads, offices, staffs
statesmen and advertising depart
ments, and the cost of producing ant
distributing their products will be In
creased in dozens of other ways. The
result will be great reduction in div
idends or an increase in the price t
the consumer The latter is consid
