Of discrimination in the matter of
rates on coal shipments from Illinois
to oxford, Mississippi, were heard be-
fore R. A. Mackley, special examiner

sion. The complaint was made by

r. D. REEVES PROMOTED.

Robert D. Reeves, former assistant
general freight agent of the Illinois
Central and Valley lines, with head,
quarters at Memphis, has been trans
ferred to a similar position at New
Orleans. He is succeeded at Memphis
by F. H. Lee. A. e. Proctor has been
appointed inspector of tariffs of both
roads at New Orleans.
Mr.. Reeves was for a number of
years connected with the Mississippi
Central Railroad company as Gener-
al Freight and Passenger agent, and
was deservedly popular both as an
official and citizen. His rise in the
railroad world has been rapid and is
no doubt due to his thorough mastery
of detail and general knowledge of
transportation matters. His many
friends in Hattiesburg will be glad to
know his worth has received further
recognition and that his new duties
will bring him into closer touch with
this section.

ZeglSlaHUe GOSSIP

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-Senator ].
d. Donald, of Hattiesburg, speaking
before the Mississippi Senate yester-
day, on the Monger Constitutional
Convention bill,rapped Edward Hines
and the Edward Hines Lumber COM
pany, declaring that Hines and his
associates are in control of lands in
South Mississippi in violation of the
law. Senator Donald urged the pas
sage of the bill, contending that South
Mississippi was entitled to more rep
resentation, and cited the Hines mat
ter to show that the constitution
needs amendment so that the state
can demand taxes from foreign cor
porations.
81 have been informed that Hines,
despite the fact that he is holding
lands in South Mississippi in viola
tioin of the law, cannot be reached,
said Senator Donald. HE controlled
millions of dollars worth of land, is
maing no pretense to develop Or i'm
prove. l decided that l would look
into the matter and learn why it was
that Hines could not be reached, and
found out that Attorney General Hud-
son had filed suit against Hines, but
even this has not the effect of bring
ing him within the law.
Its poor commentary on Missis-
sippi law to have a man or combina-
ton of men operate in the state in
violation of the law and with no
means of redress. l have been in
formed that the reason why Attorney
General Hudson did not prosecute the
suits was because he could not stand
up in court under the constitution,
and the suit is still being held over
the head of Hines and his associates

ABOLISH MEXICAN LOTTERIES.

City of Mexico, Feb 6.-Playing the
lottery will be impossible in Mexico
after this year, If measure introduc-
cd today at the instance of Abram
Gonzales, with the SUPPORT of Presl-
dent Madero, becomes law. Most
OF the licenses for private lotteries
expires during the year and they will
not be resumed. The congressional
measure also provides for the dissolu-
ton of the national lottery, which
brings over $1SO,oOO year to the
treasury.
President Madero is bitterly oppos-
ed to lotteries and all forms of gamb-
ling and is also using his influence to
bring about the abolition of cooking
mains and bull fighting.

campaign between Senator Percy and

that he supplied money to defeat

General Manager Morris of the Y.
& M. V. and Superintendent Cliff, of
the Illinois Central, are here to pro-
test against the Dabney Electric
Headlight Bill" which passed the
house and which will be given hear
ing before the Committee on Rail-
roads and Corporations of the Missis-
sippi Senate, Tuesday afternoon. The
bill passed the house with practical
ly no opposition. 1t originally requir-
ed railroad companies in Mississippi
| to equip locomotives with headlights
of at least % inch diameter, but was
amended so as to cut down the re-
quirement to Is inches.
The Illinois Central and Valley are
the only roads operating in Mississip-
pi that have not been using the cleo
trio headlight on all it's locomotives.
1t is claimed that the bill will create
a monopoly in favor of the Pyle light
which seems to fit snugly into the re-
quirements of the bill.
General Manager Morris and Super
intendent Gift will appear before the
Senate committee to participate in
the hearing.

Forum of the People

to leave the place by the operators of
the mills there, who denied the right
of their men to unionize I at that
time wrote one of the New Orleans
papers denouncing this action on the
part of the mill operators as anarchy,
and stating that the workers had the
same right to organize to protect
their muscle and their wages that the
mill operators had to be members of
lumber associations designed to keep
the prices up to the consumers of
their product. Probably DR.. Greer
got hold of the same dispatch that
did and got the names of the towns
mixed.
That justice may be done your city
am sending letter similar to this
one to the Milwaukee daily that am
told published the Greer article.
From my own experience in Hatties-
burg, I believe your people incapable
of denying the rights of your fellow
men. The Socialists held their first
two state conventions in your city,
they have held many meetings there
and have always been treated in the
best possible manner, both by press
and people, and l would dislike ex-
ceedingly that any false report re.
garding your city should be laid at
the door of the members of our party
in this state. Respectfully,

TRUCKERS GET
MORE POTATOES
Another Car Of Irish Potatoes Here
For Planting in Forrest
County.

Another car of seed Irish potatoes
has arrived and is ready for distribu-
ton to the farmers and truckers of
Forrest county. This car is consigned
to. the Hattiesburg Truck Growers
Association and will be ready for dis
tribution tomorrow. The potatoes are
the early variety and will no doubt
be taken as quickly as was the last
car distributed by the truckers as
ISOLATION. Following the disposal of
this car tomorrow the Secretary will
be instructed to take orders for cab
bage plants and quote prices on same.
Indications point to an unusually
large acreage in cabbage and this is
welcome news to citizens of Hatties-
burg who consume large quantity of
cabbage. Besides supplying the 10
cal trade, growers generally will ship
to out-of-town markets. After the
cabbage plant question is disposed OF
the truckers will take up the tomato
proposition and a great many will
plant this vegetable. It is gratifying
to note the great interest that the or.
ganization OF the truck growers has
brought about. Out of an apparently
chaotic condition of disorganization

that at Hattiesburg an organizer for

ing from an old injury received in base

shape and he will in all probability play
regularly in one of the forward positions.

The varsity football schedule is fast

there would be about ten games on the

he spoke as though the game was areaay
arranged.
