sinners EXCUSES
NOT REASONABLE
REV. ANDREWS SAYS FAILURE
TO ACCEPT cHRIsTis WORK
OF THE DEVIL.

"They all with one accord began to
make excuses" was the text used by
Rev J. 3. Andrewslast night in a ser.
mon on the excuses that men offer
for not becoming religious and accept
ting the terms of salvation which
Christ offers to sinful men. He said
all such excuses are of the devil; that
there is no limit to the number of ex-
cuses so long as soul keeps Christ
out and refuses to surrender the will
to the power of Gods Holy Spirit. He
said it is exceedingly dangerous to re.
fuse to accept the terms of the gospel
and to permit to pass by, unimproved,
the season of opportunity.
Mr.. Andrews spoke of only few of
the excuses referred to. Among these
were the very common ones, "there are
too many hypocrites in the church," 81
don't like excitement" and "You can't
hold out" He said it is strange that
the church is the only body from which
men exclude themselves because 1t
contains too many hypocrites. No one
ever refuses to join lodge because 1t
contains hypocrites. 'Tf," he said,
"men were really sincere in offering
this excuse for not coming into the
church, they should heed the warning
to change their views as they find more
hypocrites in hell than anywhere else
and if they do not change and accept
Christ, they will surely go to that
place."
The excuse that men offer in time of
a revival that they don't like excite
ment, said Mr.. Andrews, is generally
belied by the fact that if the one max
ing the excuse goes to political meet
ing or game Of ball he finds excite
ment unobjectionable.
The excuse that "I am afraid 1 won't
hold out" is common excuse for men
who really desire to become religious.
ut is not your business to hold out,
but your duty is to hold on. God will
do the holding out If you will only
hold on" was the declaration of the
evangelist.
The large congregation at last
nights service showed continued in.
terest in the work being done by Mr..
Andrews and his helpers, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. e. Thomas.
Those who have professed CONVEX
sion since the meeting began are men.
women and children. The number who
have made such profession increases
with each service.

POPLARVILLE GIRL
DECLARES She Saw
men TRADE BOYS
MISS KATE COLLINS CREATES
LATEST SENSATION IN THE
DUNBAR CASE.
WALTERS MAY NOT HAVE
been FIRST KIDNAPPER
Theory Prevalent That on Finding
That Bobbie Dunbar's Parents Were
Not Rich, kidnappers Were Anxious
to Get Rid Of Him.
(Bu Associated PreSs.)

Opelousas, La, April 16.-The latest
sensation in the trial of w. e. wal
ters. charged with kidnapping Robert
Dunbar. came this morning when Dis
trict Attorney Garland said Miss Kate
Collins, of Poplarville, Miss, would
testify that she saw two men trade
two boys near Poplarville in 1912.
He says she will identify Walters
as the man who took the boy she says
she will identify as Robert Dunbar.
This will tend to prove that Walters
did not kidnap the child, but under
Louisiana laws he could be held just
the same.
A brief search for Miss Collins after
the statement of the district attorney
did not reveal her whereabouts
though it is stated positively she is
in Opelousas.
If Miss Collins appears and gives
the testimony the defense maintains
she will. a wide range of possibilities
will he opened. If it is decided the
child the the Dunbars have is thelf
Robert Julia Anderson will have
ground for her hopes that her boy is
alive and probably wandering about
the south. This will strengthen the
theory that whoever took Robert
away intended getting another ohild
here the son of rich parents, and hold
him for ransom.
The Dunbars are not wealthy and
it is expected the testimony will lend
weight to the theory that the real kid
nappers were anxious to get rid OF the
boy when they found his parents were
not rich.
How Miss Collins came to see the
trade of the boys and was close
enough to be able to identify the men
and children is not explained. 1t is
claimed she was not aware of the Dun
bar kidnapping when she saw the
trade made.
John Oges testified that hound
nut ON the boys trail led to log by
the side of lake, but explained tha'
the dog quit the trail when he smeiled
ham from a lunch near the log
Or. Anderson, of Hub, Miss, testi
fed to the identification of the boy
by Mrs. Dunbar. He told OF threat

Prevent Flights-

Aviator T. T. Maroney will fly over
Hattiesburg tomorrow afternoon at
3: 80 o'clock. He will repeat the fight
Saturday afternoon at the same hour.
All necessary financial arrange
ments have been completed and un-
less there is an unexpected downpour
of rain, the fight will be made. Rain
is the only thing that can prevent it,
for Mr.. Maroney declares he will defy
any wind that may spring up.
Special trains, with reduced rates,
will be run into Hattiesburg over the
Gulf & Ship Island and Mississippi
Central railroads and the bird man
should attract one of the biggest
crowds that has eyer assembled here
This will be the first time the peo.
pie of Forrest county have seen an
air craft in action. On previous
lamented occasion an alleged aviator
named McCurdy came here with an
airship and said he was going to fly
but didn't.
Mr.. Maroney is not that kind of an
aviator. He has the reputation of be
ing man who will risk any sort Of
weather except rain to fill his engage
ment. He has delighted the people
of the Mississippi coast and at Wig
gins Tuesday more than 5000 people
saw him rise from that city, deliver
two packages to Bond, come back tC
Virgins and circle that town twice.
Big Machine Is Here.
The big seventy-five horsepower
war type machine is here and is sci
up in one of the tents of the Swain
Show company, where it may be in
spected by the public. Many people
went out this afternoon and had il
explained to them.
Maroney expects to stay in the air
on each fight from twenty to thirty
minutes. The Virgins flight contin.
ued for about thirty-two minutes. He
will fly at an altitude of about $500
feet. In smaller places it is possible
to fly at a lower altitude, but in pass
ing over a city as large as Hatties-
burg it is necessary to maintain high
altitude because if the engine should
go dead, the aviator would have to
glide to the earth and unless. he was
flying high it might be impossible to
steer the craft outside of the city to
make a landing. An exceptionally
large open lot is always required for
a landing, because in coming to the
earth, the machine is simply drop
ping at the rate of from forty to sew
enty miles an hour and this momen.
tum causes it to roll several thousand
feet before. it can be stopped.
On clear day, however, the ma
chine is easily visible at much high
er altitude than $500 feet. Mr.. Ma.
roney guarantees not to go out Of
sight

LARGE LAND OWNERS ARE PRO.

SEVERAL COMPANIES BUY

Instead Of Trying to Persuade Other
People to Come Here and Raise
Stock, Many Progressive Owners are
Beginning to Raise It Themselves.

That sawmill ops rators throughout
this section are preparing to utilize
large quantities of their cut-over land
in raising cattle and hogs is the opin-
ion of John W. Blodgett, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, who was in Hattiesburg
recently.
Mr.. Blogett told Mr.. Camp, who
resigned yesterday as president of the
Bank of Hattiesburg to enter into the
livestock business. that many mill op-
orators have about come to the con-
clusion that they will be unable to sell
their cut-over lands unless they pro
ceed to develop them themselves, and
that they are now planning to start
actively into the livestock business.
Mr. Camp yesterday called the at
tention of News representative tc
the number of saw mill men who are
already going into the live stock bust
ness.
Some Who Are "Doine It."
He mentioned the fact that Mr.. Luce
of Lucedale, has already. gone into cat
| tie raising on a large scale. George
| Leatherberry, of Mobile, who holds
numerous large tracts of land in this
territory, is now planning to take uT
the same industry. Major-Sowers
Lumber Company of Epley have start
ed to stock their lands with cattle
Both l.. L. Majors and w. J. Sewers
of that company attended livestock

vast holdings near that city. The
Lumber-Mineral Company, of Arbo, OF
whlch II. II. Gust is manager, has for
some time been operating a large farm
on which the raising of live stock is
the principal feature.
R. w. Hinton, of the Hinton Broth.

passed through the city today en- route
to Jackson to attend sale of thorough.
bred and high grade cattle on a farm
in Rankin county. 1t is the purpose of
his company to go largely into the bus.
mess of livestock.
Mr. Camp thinks that while these
noted instances of the sudden coming
into prominence of the livestock posi-.
bilities show that the saw mill men
are awakening to possibilities of their
cut-over land. this fact need not dis.
courage those who favor the small
farm idea. since it must be remember.
ed that there are now in Southeast
Mississippi over three million acres
of unemployed land.
