GOOD OLD negro
GOES TO REWARD

Sam Carmichael, highly esteemed
negro, died at his home in this city
at 9 o'clock this morning, after pro-
tracted Illness.
Sam Carmichael has lived in Hat
tiesburg since the time when it was a
pine forest and was one of the most
generally known negroes in this Sec
ton of the country. Through all the
years he has been held in esteem by
his white friends of whom he had a
large number. He has been thrifty
and industrious and has acquired con-
siderable property in this city
Sam Carmichael belonged to the old
regime among the negroes, and pos
sessed all those qualities which used
to mark his race in their relations to
the whites. He was ever assured of
friendly consideration by his white
friends and they knew that Sam could
be relied on to render any service to
white or black, in any time of emer
gency or distress.
He has for years conducted bar
Der shop on Mobile street, relying en-
tirely upon white patronage.
His body will be buried at the Nc
Innis cemetery at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. He is survived by three
sons and three daughters.

further enlarged by increasing the
weight limit. If properly developed
under efficient management, the par

portant factor in reducing the cost of
living"
Perhaps the most important recon-
mendation contained in the report is
that the third and fourth classes of
mail be consolidated so that books
and other printed matter may be for
warded by parcel post. At present
the postage charges for these two
classes of mail bear no fixed ratio
to each other. For certain weights
and zones the parcel post rates are
lower than the third class rates, while
IN other cases they are higher.
This condition." it is pointed out
in the report, lis likely to result in
much confusion and should not exist.
Packages containing books or Gotta
logues do not differ in any essential
particular from other parcels and they
should be handled by parcel post.
Prior to the enactment of the par.
Gel post law the department urged
that these two classes of mail be con
soldated, and the recommendation of
such action is now renewed"
Suggests Increase Second Class Rates
The report directs attention to the
approval of the commission, headed
/ by Associate Justice Hughes of the
United States Supreme Court, of the
posteffice departments recommends
ton that the postage rate on second
class mail be increased from i cent
to 2 cents a pound. In the opinion

During the fiscal year 1912 more
than 800 million pieces of mail, having
an aggregate weight of about 61 mil

the mails under the franks Of con.

Dustin Farnum In 1.-THE Littlest
Rabalb

Dustin Farnum In 1.-THE LittIest
Rebel"
A. H. Woods brings to the Auditor
um Tuesday, Feb 4, when that ster-
ling actor, Dustin Farnum, will appear
in the new Civil War play by Edward
Peple, "The Httlest Rebel"
The success achieved by this popu-
lar star in the stirring and heart-touch-
ing vehicle, has preceded his coming
and interest runs high in the engage
ment in consequence. Direct from
long runs in New York, Boston and
Chicago THE Littlest Rebel" should
prove a tremendous drawing card
here. The play presents a realistic
picture of the closing days of the
Civil War, and to recall to the memory
of the present generation those old
traditions which it cannot afford to
forget This latest offering is said to
warm the blood with its thrilling
scenes and touching story Of the ia
Their who braves all risks to bring food
to his little daughter, who is hiding
in an old log hut in the midst of the
fighting zone. The great battle scene
in the third act is said to be the best
since the days of Shenandoah"
It's realism has been praised BY the
most distinguished members of mill
tary and naval circles of this country
as a truthful picture of action of the
many thrilling conflicts which occur
red between Northern and Southern
soldery during the latter days of the
Civil War. AS depicted in "The Lit
tlest Rebel" no detail of an actual
battle is missing Shells whistle
through the air, cutting off huge limbs
of trees which come crashing to the
ground; bullets hum in all directions,
throwing up the dust as they flatten
against stone walls and breast works;
the hoarse commands of the contend
ing officers are heard above the din
urging their men into the thick Of the
fray, and the climax of the encounter
is reached when a cannon ball eXplod-
ing, crashes its way through the stone
parapet behind which the Northern
force has retreated.
The story relates an incident of the
successful attack on Richmond near
the close of the war. The family of
a Confederate scout is reduced finally
to his wife and 7-year-old daughter,
who have taken refuge after the burn
ing of their home, in a plantation cab
in. The wife dies, leaving the little
girl alone. Her father, hoping to get
her through the Federal lines to Rich
mond is trapped by the Union officer
Colonel Morrison, and his troops in
the loft of the cabin, but the little
girl pleads so effectively and the ia
TIERS plight is so pitiful, the COM
handing officer of the squad that has
taken him, permits him to escape
There is skirmish, however, and both
captor and captive are betrayed. A
court martial orders that one is to
be hanged as a spy and the other as
traitor. Again the Littlest Rebel,
after a visit to the generals camp, is
instrumental in effecting their re.
