SUNDAY MAIL DELIVERY
TO Be DISCONTINUED HERE
TRUSTEES OF
STATE NORMAL
Called To Meet Saturday In Jackson
Will Take Up Ground
Plans.

Jackson, Miss, March 16.-Presi-
dent W. H. Smith has called meeting
of the trustees of the State Normal
College for Saturday, March IS, at the
executive offices. Notice has been
sent out to each of the trustees and it
is probable full attendance will be
had.
The meeting is to take up the
ground plans made by the landscaper,
who was engaged for this purpose
some time ago. A rough draft of the
ground plan was submitted to a meet
ing of the building committee recently,
but no definite action was taken.
AS soon as the ground plans have
been decided upon an architect will be
engaged to make plans for the dormi
tories, administration and other neces-
sary. buildings. The trustees also will
decide how many buildings shall be
erected with the funds in hand.
Residences for members of the fac
ulty must be built, and plans fol
these will be adopted
/ The plans of the building commit
tee, 1t seems, are to have the buildings
grouped on the campus, thus produc
ing an artistic effect.
1t has practically been decided te
have two dormitories and the admins
tration building, but it is yet to be
determined how many residences will
| be necessary.
The call for the meeting was issued
Tuesday afternoon, after a conference
between President Smith and Cover
nor Noel, and every member of the
board will be urged to attend this
meeting.

NO CONGESTION
OF Freight HERE
All Kinds of Freight Being Shipped
Except for Line of c. N. o. G.
T. p. Road.

Local railroad men state that the
strike OF the firemen on the C. n. O.
& T. P, a division of the Queen &
Crescent route between Chattanooga
and Cincinnati, is not effecting to any
great extent shipments of lumber or
other freight from Hattiesburg.
The embargo on freight is only be-
tween Chattanooga and Cincinnati,
and all freight for points on other
lines of railroad than the c. N. o. &
T. P. is being routed by other lines
of railroad.
! The embargo on the c. N. o. & T.
P. does not cover live stock and
perishable goods, and local trains on
the road are being operated.
A large volume of freight is handled
in Hattiesburg for points in the sec
tion of the strike, but there has beer
no congestion here, and the loca
freight men state that they are no
refusing any shipments except a
stated above.
The strike of the white firemen wa
brought about by their refusal to worl
with negro iremen, and the sympath,
of the public seems to be with them
White union firemen are on pract
cally all the trains now being operate
by the c. N. o. G T. P. road. and it i
thought the differences between tn
railroad and firemen will be amicabl
adjusted in a few days.
