JOHN r. TALLY, COUNSEL FOR
COMMERCIAL CLUB, RETURNS
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Committee APPOINTED
WILL MEET TONIGHT
Case Will Be Heard Before Judge
ThirkieI at N. Off Contentious Of
Hattiesburs Are Sustained It VIII
Mean Great Saving.

John r. Tally, special counsel for
the Hattiesburg Commercial Club in
it's case before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, has returned
from New Orleans, where he has been
looking after the Commercial cub case,
and reports that the matter will be
called by Judge Thirkiel, the commits
sioner setting in all such cases, Mon
day, June 10th at 10 o'clock.
The committee appointed to go to
New Orleans for the purpose of pre-
senting Hattiesburg's claim is called
to meet at the Commercial Club rooms
at o'clock tonight This COMMITTEES
as now constituted, is as follows: t.
S. Jackson, V. M. Scanlan,B. d. Moore.
J. T. Conner, w. H. Moore, F. w.
Foote, s. L. Heidelberg, j. S. Harri-
! son, w. E. Bobo and ]. E. Davidson.
The Importance of this matter to
Hattiesburg, it is claimed, is beyond
immediate computation. The News
has been furnished some facts and
! figures relating to the general sub
ject which are here given. 1t is
claimed and strongly urged that ev-
cry citizen of Hattiesburg is vitality in.
terested in a favorable outcome OF
this issue; because of the fact first:
that upwards of $15O,OOO annually will
be saved to Hattiesburg should the
claim of this city to be put ON
an equality of rates with Jackson and
Meridian, be recognized.
1t is claimed that Hattiesburg each
year handles upwards of 100000 tons
Of freight. A saving of one cent per
one hundred weight would mean $780,
900 each year. 1t is expected that the
saving will be far more than one cent
per 100 pounds ON nearly every com
modify, but the reduction pertains
only to inbound freight, hence the
modest claim of $15O,O00 annual saw
ing.
The saving N first classification
from Eastern points will equal 2S
cents per 100 pounds.
The impression has been created
that this is jobbers fight, and that
the consumer and the retailer are not
to be effected. In answer to this It is
said that the jobbers benefit, though
direct, will simply be to en-
able him to increase his business;
the saving made resulting in
permitting the making of prices
to the retailer that will en-.
able Hattiesburg to sell goods
that are now sold in Hattiesburg ter.
ritory by Gulfport, Jackson, Meridian
and Natchez. If the jobbers of Hat
tiesburg could double their volume OF
business as a result Of the granting
of an equitable freight rate. would
not every other line in Hattiesburg be
benefited? On all listed goods
the retailer will benefit; on
all staple stun and goods moi
listed the saving will go directly
to the consumer, Is the undisputed
statement of the jobbers.
In this connection 1t is claim
ed that the winning Of this fighi
would be worth more to Hattiesburs
than dozen factories and from ma
terial standpoint more than the State
Normal college and the woman's col

own farm year ago for s35 per acre
he said it was better land than the
Miller farm for which the owner is
