That the Hattiesburg Wood Reduc-
ton Company's process of extracting
bi-products from pitch pine, after near
ly or quite a year of experimentation
and Improvement, has at last been
pronounced asuccess, is an important
announcement, unusual since, besides
the addition of another industrial
plant to Hatiesburg the success of this
industry means the immediate crea'
ton of local market for commodity
which heretofore has not only been
without value but an actual hindrance
to the more rapid agricultural develop
ment of this section.
For some time the management has
known that they had passed the ex.
perimental stage and were daily turn

other bi-products of pitch pine stumps,

has there been made a public demon

the products In commercial quantities

, capitalist who have indicated their In

of being willing to invest Of their

today to witness the plants opera

For several years plants have beer

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed te be

local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science

NEEDS OF NORMAL COLLEGE
LAID BEFORE LECISL ATORS

President Joe Cook, of the Mississip-
pi Normal College, has recently sent
out to the members of the legislature
letter in which he urges considera-
ton Of the immediate needs of the col
lege for more room in which to house
the many pupils throughout the state
who are seeking admission. but who
cannot be accommodated because ev-
cry room In every building on the col
lege campus Is full, cottage three
quarters of a mile away has been fill
ed and applications continue to come in.
He directs attention to the fact that
this condition prevails, notwithstand-
ing the fact that large number Of
rural teachers are not yet applying,
but are waiting for their schools to
close before doing so. Mr.. Cook states
that the normal rooming capacity OF
the dormatories is 275, with the plan
of only two pupils in room. This
very popular rule has had to be dis
regarded, and in many cases three
pupils are placed in a room.
Another fact to which Mr.. Cook di
reefs the attention of the law makers
is that though three score applicant
were denied admission for lack o
room and their matriculation fees re
turned prior to the opening Of tn
college, fully thirty unassigned pupil
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-10-04

were on hand on opening day, without
having made previous application. 1t
was for this overflow that a cottage
and some rooms in a private home had
to be rented three-quarters of mile
away.
Mr.. Cooks letter was accompanied
by reprint of recent illustrated arti-
Gle by W. H. Hardesty, editor of the
Lumberton Head-Block, which appear
ed In that paper after the editor had
visited the college for the purpose of
placing his daughter there. Mr.. Hard.
esty states that he was among quite
large class who were skeptical as
to the needs of such state institution.
and admits that when the great inter
est that Forrest county and the city Of
Hattiesburg were proclaimed through
out the state to have taken in the pro-
posed college for higher training for
Mississippi teachers, he thought
it was kind of graft Hattiesburg had
invented as a means of enlisting the
state in its local boost. Since he has
seen with his own eyes what this
county and city have done by their
J great liberality, he humbly apologies
! for his unworthy imputation. AS an
act of atonement, Mr.. Hardesty now
urges the legislature to do liberia
: things by this useful and worthy insti

OPTIMISM.

Don't you mind the sorrows
Don't you mind the signs
Whilst the world goes singin'
To the hallilujah skies!
Sometimes its lonesome on the way.
But darkness ever dreams of day
Don't you mind the sorrows or the
signs.
The weariest winter ever
Is dreamin' dreams Of May,
The tempest casts a shadow
But the shadow doesn't stay.
There never was life 30 dim
But found its hallilujah hymn
So-dont you mind the sorrows or the
signs.

Leaders Outline Plan for Reorganization " hic h They Believe Can Be Accomplished By Reme- dying Causes.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHI

CHICAGO. May i2.-That the uniting of the progressive party with the republican party is not only de- sired, but actually sought was the gist of the sentiment expressed at the close of today's two days con outlined their plans for reorganizing the party.
 Herbert S. Hadley, former governor of Missouri who with Senators Albert R. Cummins of Iowa. William F.. Borah of Idaho and l.. I. sherman of Illinois led in the discussion at the conference said afterwards the desire to have those back in the party who left it to join the progressiYes was manifest" Coalition, they added. could not be effected by any mechanical scheme, such as the adop ton of resolutions by any leaders, but rather by remedying the causes in the republican party. which re suited in the separation"
 The conference which was attend ed by senators and representatives
  California. resulted in the issuance of this statement The statement expressed the belief that the republi can national committee should call a convention at as early date as possible to effect a radical change in party affairs, especially with ref erence to the conduct of the future national conventions. What was mt of the statement was referred to as a re union |" of the party.
 'Is it to be inferred that the re- pubIicans who have met here desire to have adherents to the progressive party come into the ranks as re publicans?" Hadley was asked.
 Tt is manifestly so." he replied. .The coalition can be brought about. not by any mechanical means, but bv frank recognition by the rank and file of both parties that by remain ing divided we are defeating all that both favor All we can accomplish here will be to start a movement for bringing about changes in conducting the affairs of the party which seem necessary. These changes of the con sequent evils which have been just cause for complaint in the past are necessary in order that the will of the majority may control the future party councils.
 The changes we shall seek are a new basis of representation and re- cognition of the result of direct primaries, so we shall favor that sys- tenn and a different method of pass ing upon the credentials of delegates at conventions"

PENROSE PLAN
 MAY NOT TAX
Pennsylvanian's Proposal a
 to Have Open Committee Hearings on Tariff Will Have Close Fight in the Senate.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPAgcHI

WASHINGTON. May 12-Senator Penrose's plan to conduct extensive filibusters in support of the proposal to hold open tariff hearings before the senate finance committee will not receive the unanimous backing of his fellow republicans when it comes up tomorrow. according to views of the leaders today.
 Many prominent republican leaders GC not believe it would be wise to face the tariff guns in the prelimin- ary fight over the question of hear ings. The argument is that repub : lican oratory should be conserved un- til the bill is before the senate and then the efforts be directed toward showing the country what the party thinks of it.
 Several republicans indicated today that they would vote against the Penrose amendment to make the committee hold hearings. Persistent reports from the senate say however that several democrats will be found voting with the majority of the re- publicans for the Penrose amendment and the vote in consequence is likely tO be close. When Penrose made the motion on Friday the republicans had enough votes to carry it but before the session tomorrow the democrats who were absent are expected to be present, and the first skirmish of a long fight will probably find both sides fully represented.
 The democrat finance committee is skepticaI of the report that an agree nlent nas been signed by seven west ern democrats opposed to free wool to vote against the bill al the pro- posed conference The democrats who keep in close touch with every phase cf the situation do not believe any such agreement has been made or is likely to be made They declared flatly that they expected the demo : cratic committee to present @ bill to the senate with both the wool and sugar schedules as left in the house bill. Some changes of important schedules will be made by the com mittee The metal schedule notably, will be altered. and the sub commit tee to which it was assigned met to- night with Chairman Sims Senator Williams, member of the finance committed declared today that manu- lecturers who reduce wages or threaten to reduce them because of
 
 by the department of justice under the sherman anti trust act The senator said the sherman law has been used against the laboring men who have combined to increase wages and it is just that it be directed against the men who conspire to reduce wages.
 Although many prominent demo- nf hp Q no rency legislation al the special ses- sion, a serious effort will be made by the banking and currency committee to draft a measure which will at least pass through the stage preliminary to actual enactment. Chairman Towne and other democratic members of the committee are epected to take up the currency reform bill, probably next week
