BIG DAMAGE
TRIAL In Kinds
CIRCUIT COURT AT JACKSON
HEARING TWO VERY LARGE
DAMAGE SUITS.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 9.-The suit OF
State Treasurer P. s. Stovall against
the Illinois Central railroad, for $4,000
damages will be called in the circuit
court some time today, If the Tanner
case is concluded. The circuit court
held a night session last night, and
arguments in the Tanner case were
nearly completed at adjournment.
Mrs. Mary Tanner is suing the Y. &
M. v. railroad for $4,000, alleging that
her property on South Gallatin street
was destroyed by fire as a result OF
a spark from a passing locomotive. At
the outset of the case the railroad at
torneys made the sensational state
ment that they expected to prove that
C. f. Klinker, a brother of the plain
tiff, started the blaze. But little evi-
dence in substantiation of this charge
was introduced one man swearing he
saw Klinker picking up a pile OF
shavings" in the rear of his warehouse,
where the blaze originated. Klinker
claimed that he was at the postoffice
when the fire broke out on April %,
and which destroyed several resi-
dences.
Mr.. Stovall asks $4,000 damages
for alleged injuries as result of his
being knocked down by railroad
motorcycle at the union depot here
several months ago. He claims that
the negro who was plotting the motor
cycle was careless, and that on ac
count of his being hit he sustained
permanent injuries.

LOCAL LUMBER MARKET WILL
SHOW EARLY IMPROVEMENT

The large and vital interest this Sec |
ton has in the lumber industry adds
value to every item of news that re-
lates to prevailing market conditions,
hence the improvement in the general
tone of the local lumber situation can
but encourage the belief expressed by
the most observant among the manu-
facturers that even before the end OF
the current year marked improvement
in lumber market conditions is almost
If not quite certain.
Among the reasons for this predic-
ton are mentioned the flood condi-
tions in Texas and other west-of-the-
river sections resulting in the shutting
down Of more than one hundred mills
for a number of days the weather con-
ditions in this section which have in
terfered with logging: the general dis
position to slow down so as to keep
output below mill capacity and the
fact that manufacturers are shipping
out stock faster than they are manu-
featuring it,
The demand for dimension stock has
continued steadily with result that ac-
cumulated stocks have been largely
diminished though prices have re-
NAMED low.
The demand for domestic timbers
has remained low and the railroads
have been liberal buyers of decking,
indicating thereby that repair work,
rather than car construction, is fore

ing itself upon the common carriers.
This being the time of year when de-
mand naturally begins to fall of, con-
tinued stock market ordinarily would
be expected, but the fact that the ma
tion-wide expectation that the settle
ment Of tariff legislation will tend to
create a general trade revival is taken
as a strong bull factor in the lumber
market, since that material stands
next to iron and steel in the universal
needs of man.
A prominent lumber buyer, one of
the largest operators in this territory,
who has recently been on a trip
through the North. in speaking of lum-
Der conditions in the Hattiesburg ter
ritory, said that it is his conviction. as
the result of years of experience and
. observation, that no where in the
world can one find a better section in
which to supply the varied needs OF
the world for yellow pine lumber. In
support of this declaration he added
that when a buyer places an order
with the manufacturers in this terri
tory it is with the confidence, general
ly, that the order will be filled as
specified and more frequently than
anywhere else, within the time agreed
upon. Personal experience" said the
gentleman quoted, proves that this
cannot be said of any yellow pine sec
tion with anything like the measure
of truthfulness as it can of the Hatties
burg district"
