THE work of this Office reveals
the continued and growing interest
on the part of residents of the north

opportunities in agriculture and the
various lines of business. and our
territory was never so well and IA
vorably known in the sections in
which we are soliciting new business,
or had active inquiry concerning its
resources, advantages and possible
ties. We are anticipating an active
spring and summer business. /"

When the police of Great Britain
have been doing all in their power to
prevent bloodshed in connection with
the demonstrations in favor of mill
tant suffragettism, the leaders are said
to be living in hope that some very
violent scenes will be enacted during
the struggle. Mrs. Pankhurst, the
veteran leader of the suffragettes, who
IS serving a prison term as a result of
her activities, is reported as saying
that if they had killed her instead of
imprisoning her, the cause of women's
votes would have been advanced ten
years. ut will take martyrs to stir
the country to a realization of our
determination TO vote, say the Eng
fish women.

LARGE NUMBER
OF CONVERSIONS
Three Services at Columbia Street
Church Result in Many Additions
Yesterday.

The revival at Columbia Street
church continues with undated inter
est There were three sermons at that
church yesterday The regular morn
ing and evening service and an after
noon service at p. m, with a special
sermon for children; the pastors sub
ject being Suffer Little Children to
Come Unto Me-"
Last night Rev. Mr.. Solomon preach
ed strong sermon on the subject,
Who Then Can Be Saved?" The dis
course was divided into three parts:
THE Rich Mans Riches" THE Moral
Mans Morals" 1.-THE Good Mans
Goodness" He first referred to what
God said about the rich man, it be-
ing harder for him to enter the king
dom of Heaven than for camel to
go through the eye of needle; and
for the other two divisions read scrip
ture quotations from various pas
sages in the Bible to substantiate his
remarks. "Those who can not be
saved" were, First, the impentinent
sinner; second, the procrastinating
sinner; third, the world-wedded sim
ner." He said that procrastination
had been called the thief of time;
that this was untrue; that it was also
true that it was the thief of souls,
and that hell was paved with good
intentions. He urged those who were
Christ now. He declared that modern
times, the rush of life, and the pur-
suit of gold had caused business men
to strive for worldly gain, almost en-
tirely neglecting their eternal sal
walton. Who can be saved? The sim
ner who resolutely and determinedly
forsakes his sins. The sinner who ac-
cepts salvation as a gift. The man
who will believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ He who needs the teachings
of God shall have eternal life he who
does not shall perish.
At the conclusion of the sermon
there were five additions to the
church. The house was packed and
much interest manifested in the ser
mon. The meetings will continue
through the week Tonight the sub
iect will be Heaven, What Kind of
a Place."

IINGLEY, FIRST
PLAYER TO REPORT
Young Southpaw, From Detroit. Mich.
Reaches the City For the
Game.

Lewis Tingley, who will likely COW
er the first sack for the Hattiesburg
baseball team the coming season,
reached the city last night from Birm-
ingham and is the first of the boys
who have signed with the local squad,
to report. Tingley looks good and
should measure up in every respect
to the requirements of the position he
is slated for. He is some six feet tall,
% years of age and appears to be an
all round athlete. And in addition to
this he comes with the best of rec
concentrations as ball player.
Last year Tingley started out with
Lafayette, Indiana, but the league dis
banded early in the season and he
went back to Detroit, his home, and
made a splendid record as a semi
pro. Three years ago he was given a
tryout, at the age Of 10, with the New
Haven, Conn, team, but at that time
had not sufficient experience for the
fast company. Tingley is a southpaw
in the throwing department and will
be a terror to the opposing team, If
he holds the initial sack. That his
services were in demand is evidenced
by the fact that he had offers from
Albany and Utica in the New York
State league and Jackson and Nerd
ian, Cotton Staters but he elected to
come TO Hattiesburg. Here's hoping
he stays

new DIRECTORY
TO SHOW INCREASE
Thorough Canvass Being Made by
Men in Charge Of the Work.
Issued Soon.

George Hill, representing the r. L.
Polk & Co., of Memphis, Tenn, who
are compiling a new city directory
for Hattiesburg reports rapid progress
in the work Of gathering names and
necessary information for their publ
cation and expect to have the canvas
completed in about two weeks.
From present indications the popu-
lation of Hattiesburg will show a de-
cided increase over the United States
census Of 1910, due to the increased
growth of the city and to the methods
of gathering information, and the pro-
gressive energy of the Commercial
Club, In their present enumeration
of inhabitants the directory publish
ers do not stop at the city limits hut
go beyond and include the people liv-
ing adjacent to the city who work and
do their shopping here and who are
really part of the city's inhabitants.
The force working here has recent
ly been augmented by F. B. York, an
expert compiler from Memphis, who
will take charge of the compilation as
soon as the canvas is completed. The
publishers assure the public that they
will have directory that is complete
in every respect, thoroughly reliable
and equal to any directory published
in the United States. In furtherance
of R. L. Polk & Co.'S policy of uni
formity in their publications, the style
of the new Hattiesburg directory will
follow closely that of Vicksburg and
Meridian directories which received
much commentator in their rec
spective cities on publication last
summer.

A democratic rally was being held

district, who was making a desperate
uphill effort to be reelected. He had
demolished the Republican platform,

which dealt with the tariff until the

which would befall the country in
case this ubiquitous measure were en-.

vogue. Our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five. while our
mothers are gray before they arr fifty.
Our grandmothers kept their hair soft

the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, CON-
bined with Sulphur and otner valuable
remedies for dandruff, itching scalp,
