rs LOTS SOLD
DURING AUCTION
Sale Closed Yesterday Afternoon
Crowd Passed Vote of Thanks
to Promoters.

The sale of lots in Normal Heights
came to a close Tuesday afternoon af-
ter about ITS lots had been disposed
of at an average of about 500 lot,
the sale having closed at the request
of Mr.. H. A. Camp, who felt that the
small crowd attending in the after
noon of the second day did not justify
a continuance of the auction
Following the sale the gift of lot
was settled, Mrs. Mcintosh, one of
those present at the close being the
fortunate holder of the ticket calling
for the lot. A few congratulatory
talks were then made, the Carolina
Development Company coming in for
large measure of praise on account
of the intelligent and eminently fair
manner in which they had handled
the sale and the crowd passed vote
of thanks to this enterprising COM
pany. This move was a little out of
the ordinary for an auction sale and
the members of the company plainly
showed their appreciation of this fact
and of their treatment by the people
of Hattiesburg. The members of the
Carolina Development Company who
had charge of the sale here were
Messrs. H. H. Halliday, E. NJ. An
drews, c. F. Swain, w. M. Knott and
w. ]. Halliday.
Messrs. T. B. Ogburn and w. H.
Matthews, the double auctioneers
we're the best ever seen here. They
gave plenty of snap and vim to their
work, kept the crowd in a good hui
NOR all the time and made practically
no mistakes.

Porpoises Valuable Many Ways
pm the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee SentOlel.
 The only porpoise oil factory on the At lantc coast is established about six miles below Cape Hatteras and near Hatteras inlet Along this coast porpoises are plentiful through about six months of the year, and there are three crews of fisher men who make a business of catching them for the oil factory. For the reason that porpoises are easily frightened the fisherman must be wary and quiet who would meet with success. The method employed is to impound school in wide meshed net first. and then to take them with sweep of much finer mesh
 The porpoises are five to ten feet in length, big and powerful. They are skinned for their hides, and the blubber is removed. The hides are salted down and sent in their green state to a tannery in New Jersey to be tanned and made into leather. Porpoise hide is used for shoe string. pocketbooks and travelling bags or suit cases. The oil from the blubber is tried out at the factory on the beach and then sent to New Bedford, Mass, for finishing

and other delicate machinery, is obtained from the marrow of the porpoise's lower jawbone and from a small quantity of blubber found between the snout and the blowhole. In making the oil this blubber and the marrow are mixed. The produc- tion of this oil may range from half q pint to a quart from one porpoise. Re- fined porpoise oil for jewellers use is worth from 5000 to S120OO a barrel.
 The body oil obtained from a porpoise amounts ordinarily to IS or II gallons. This Is used for various purposes and brings far less than the head oil. The carcases are made into fertilizer.

In a Kansas town where two brothers are engaged in the retail coal business a revival was recently held and the elder of the brothers was converted. For weeks the brother who had "got religion tried to persuade the other to join the church. One day he asked:

The latest scheme in the city develop rnent would clear away the narrow streets on the borders of Palas Royal and thus give the architecture dignity and freedom from encroachment, and at the same time build a large edifice of ton would house the Bourse now cramped for space in it's present home in the square cut by the Rue du Quarte Sep tembre and served by several narrow streets from the main boulevards
 The chief advantage of the project would be to restore to the Palais its fea- lures of pre-revolution times and to bring a current of business and affair." to it's deserted corridors, which resound ed in the old days to the red heels of gal lants and to the echo of state secrets The line of the splendid monument wouls be saved from violation, for no hands could touch the outer walls. but simply build within for the growing and, indeed, nressing, needs of the exchange.

High School Flourishing. Extra
Tax Levied. New Bank

c. T. u. Organized.
Written for last week.

Yesterday. the third Sunday of
March, was a beautiful day, and
was very much enjoyed by our peo5
pie after SO many gloomy rainy
Sundays. The Sunday school at the
Baptist church was unusually well
attended, and Bro. b. 81. Covlng-
ton of the Methodist church had a
good congregation to hear him
preach on the theme, THE kingdom
of heaven" Since so many of our
people are fair weather church.
goers, how we do long for all Sun
days to be like this!
Saturday before was also beau
tiful day, and brought to our peo-
pie the opportunity of placing the
Plum Branch high school upon
better financial basis by voting on
an extra two mills tax. Out of forty
five votes cast, only three were cast
against it. 1t is gratifying to see our
people waking up to the Value OF
good school in the community. 1t is
commendable in our people that they
established a good high school before
they did bank. The bank is good
for a town, and our new bank is to
be opened for business March 3oth,.
but it is in no sense to be compared
to a good school in estimating the
value of community's assets; and
your humble scribe hopes that this
is only a beginning of good efforts
that this community will put forth
in behalf of her school. Our red
hills are fairly covered with bright
eyed boys and girls who are to be
trained for life, and there are few
communities where school work can
be made more effective. Our school
has been running on the two o'clock
session plan like the other up-to-
date graded schools and high schools
of the state, and our people are COM

After going a few miles he foaad

supposed some one must have been
smoking, and the wind famed the
sparks into blazes.

PARKsVILLE LETTER.
Rev. T. H. Garrett Gone to
Prosperity. J. c, Stone Elect
ed Mayor. DR.. Cody
Commended.

More Anon is overwhel med by
the kind expressions of ''shut-in" of
week before last, and IN. w. H. "
of last week. He is SO used to being
unkindly criticised, although alb
solutely Indifferent, being conscious
of his integrity, that words of com
mendation from those who have
not bent the knee to Baal, and have
the backbone to speak their convic-
ton, have soothing, if not mu-
sical sound. God bless you my
friends, and pity some of our spine
less Christians! who are trying to
carry religion under one arm, and a
Jug of whiskey under the other. But
YOU can't deceive others, though
you may succeed in deceiving your
selves. For whatsoever a man
soweth that shall he also reap" and
the fruits as we'll as the corrupt and
vulgar tongue betrayeth you. Bull
doing threats should hayeno ter
TOR for the Christian, but he should
rather fear Him who is able to des-
troy both soul and body.
In this connection, Mr.. Editor,
allow me- to pull my hat to DR..
Cody, editor of the Baptist Courier
in his editorials of last week against
lawlessness, and spinelessness in
general. DR.. Cody is a man. If we
had enough such men, who would
stand for the law in deed, as well
as in word, South Carolina would
be redeemed from the reign of law
lessness which seems to be prevail
ing from the chief executive down.
We believe in obeying official
orders, as rule, but allow me to
commend Messrs. Demps Morgan,
Tom Cartledge, Jim Coleman, w.
w. Fowler and others for filling
up mud holes in the face of official
commands not to do 80. But for
these patriotic efforts without money
and without price, we could hardly
90 at all. We commend their public
spirit, and as has already been said,
we do not believe an Edgeheld jury
would convict them.
The annual election for officers OF
this town came off last Tuesday
with the following results: J. G.
