Prof. ]. L. Johnson, Jr., and w. l..

'Woman's College, with the result that
ten young ladies enrolled. These

Prof. Johnson is determined not to
allow the people of Hattiesburg to lose
sight of the fact that the college is a
Hattiesburg institution, the very Or
ganization of which is indicative of
the Hattiesburg spirit, which calls for
loyalty and enthusiasm for everything
that is Hattiesburg's. Since the Trac-
tion line to Tuscan avenue is assured,
young ladies can live at their homes
and for very small cost ride to and
from the college. where there is GER
tain to be established in the very be-
ginning a distinct college atmosphere
When the fact is thoroughly known
that from the beginning high educa
tional standard will be maintained, il
is claimed that a great appreciation o.

lege at home will manifest itself in {
liberal local patronage of the Missis

position he held was that of city mar

was elected in 1897 and again 1899
He filed this position creditably and
at that time it was one that required
great deal of work, the marshal
and tax collector also having to col

department. In 1903 he was appoint

T. F. Rawls was selected as the
bailiff of the grand jury.
The Judges Charge.
Judge Johnson made a characteris-
tically strong charge to the grand jury,
in which he covered practically every
question of law violation. Referring
to the gambling he included the old
time poker players and the crap shoot
ers, but laid especial emphasis on slot
machines so commonly used in open
defiance of law, and the practice of
pool room owners in permitting minors
to play in their places.
The ten-hour law, which was enact
ed at the last session of the Mississip-
pi legislature, was especially called to
the attention of the grand jury, and
they were urged to see that this new
law is being observed by the manufac-
turing and repairing institutions In
this county.
The great value of good roads was
mentioned, and the law requiring road
'overseers to keep their roads in good
condition should be enforced and q
thorough investigation of the condi
tion of public roads should be made
and those responsible for the condi
tions of bad roads should be held te
strict account. When charging the
grand jury on the law against embez
clement the Court was very emphatic
and said that the usual practice o.
setting about to effect a compromise
the moment an embezzlement is made
public should be stopped. The courts
should vigorously prosecute cases o
embezzlement, even though the none!

the City Of Hattiesburg appears In this
issue of The News.
