BUSINESS MEN
NOT ALARMED
LETTERS, EXPRESSING coNFf.
DENcE IN OUTLOOK, READ
INTO SENATE RECORD.

Washington, Aug. democrats and
Republicans of the Senate fenced Mon
day over prosperity and the business
outlook, discussed the wooden schedule
of the tariff bill at length and made
some progress on the metal schedule.
Colloquies over the probable effect of
the pending tariff arose when Senator
Stone of Missouri read into the record
quotations from manufacturers and
merchants stating that the industrial
outlook was very favorable, despite
the proposed tariff reductions. Sen
ator Gallinger expressed assurance
that present prosperity was due to Re-
publican policies not to coming Dem
ocratic laws, and also that history
would repeat itself and depressing
times come.
Senator Williams, addressing the Re-
publicans. asked why if they were so
certain of the result, they did not cease
demurring and let the bill go to the
country for test.
I'VE shall continue to demur," re-
piled Senator Gallinger, until We have
made a record that perhaps may aid
the people in understanding the situa-
ton when the effect of this bill is felt"
Favor Free Wool
Senator Meyers of Montana. in a
lengthy analysis of the wool schedule,
declared that the people of his part of
the West favored free raw wool, and
that a century of protection had failed
utterly to aid the wool industry of this
country. His speech led to a general
discussion of shoddy and wool partici
pated in by Senators Warren and
Smoot, for the Republicans, and Sena-
tors Meyers, Walsh and Martins for the
Democrats.

DR.. G. T. Anderson of New Orleans,
who filled the pulpit at the First Bap,
fist Church on Sunday last, in speaking
of the Y NJ. c. A. movement in this
city and referring to the argument
made by one speaker that the Y. NJ. c.
A. was needed because of the failure of
the churches to do certain community
work, said it would be a mistake to
base the need of the movement on any
alleged shortcomings of the churches
and no Y. NJ. c. A. can be built or
maintained on the defects of any religi.
GUS organization. Speaking of the
work in New Orleans and other places
where he had been pastor, his observa-
ton has been that the Y. NJ. C. A. could
not exist without the support of the
religious element of the community
and every church he ever served in
such places has been helped by the
work of the Y. NJ c. A.
The remark of President Joe Cook
of the Normal College at last Sundays
mass meeting that "the value of the
Y. NJ. c. A. has past beyond the argu-
ment stage" it is pointed out is con-
firmed by the opinions of such men
as Cyrus H. Mccormick, who was the
head of the International Harvester
Company and George B. Roberts, form
er president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
Mr.. Roberts. in speaking of the value
of the Y. NJ. c. A. as an economic fac
tor in the great business of the Penn
sylvania lines. said that the investment
his company made of the stockholders
money in Y. NJ. c. A. buildings for its

derived from Doan's Kidney Pills. The
statement is now confirmed-the testi-

merit of Doan's Kidney Pills. Can
any Hattiesburg reader demand more

new GRAND STAND
FAIR DIRECTORS MEET AT JACK.
SON WEDNESDAY TO DECIDE
ON SITE FOR BUILDINGS.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 5.-A special
meeting of the directors of the Missis-
sippi State Fair Association is to be
held at the old capitol Wednesday aft
ernoon at o'clock, the main purpose
being to decide definitely upon the site
of the new grand stand and corn palace
for which contracts have already been
let.
Secretary Mcdonald states that the
committee in charge has decided that
the boxes for the grand stand are to
be built on the most modern plan, right
close up to the race track instead of a
distance Of about twenty feet back as
was formally the position in grand
stands Of the old order. This plan, it is
said is being adopted all over the
country in the erection of new stands.
The corn palaces, which is to be a
prominent feature among the many i'm
provements this year is to be as attrac-
tive as it is expensive. Assurances
have already been given that the corn
club and tomato club exhibits this
year will more than double those of
former years when the space for these
important displays was limited in the
main agricultural building.

congestion at the end of the bridge.
The major also notified the board that
the post authorities contemplate the rev.
ocation of the permit existing since
1855 for the public to pass through the
post grounds. The action has been made
necessary, 1t was explained. by the
danger from speeding automobiles and
the damage to the roads from heavy

against the great Inconvenience that the
proposed action would place on the citI-
zens and request further conference.
