Hattiesburg Boy
Says Wars What
Sherman Declared
SEES ENOUGH OF EUROPEAN CON
FLlcT, AND HE'S COMING
HOME.

On the very rim of the fighting zone
where is being waged the greatest war
in the worlds history, yet unwilling
to take one more step across the
boundary, Hattiesburg boy today is
in Great Britain, watching from afar,
the efforts being made to protect the
British Isle and to destroy the ene-
mics of the kingdom.
Christy Russ, a 2O-year-old young
ster, who was born and raised in Hat
tiesburg, is in Liverpool. That is as
near the war zone as Christy wants
to go. He has seen enough of the
horrors of the conflict, even If a large
island and broad body of water sep
arates him from the actual fighting.
Pat Rawls. employed at the Lime
man Hardware Company, received a
letter from the youthful globe trotter
this morning. 1t said: 81 made the
trip alright from New Orleans in 20
days. We had some rough weather at
oSd. may Conie udCh ny way VI boS-
ton. War is He'll and He'll is every
place here"
The boy sailed from New orleans
on a cattle boat bound for Liverpool.
| He made the trip abroad with a view
of touring at least a part of the battle
area. What he saw in Liverpool, how
ever, was enough. He said that vi
sion of the Stars and Stripes floating
above little piece of American land
would look better to him than any
thing in the world. That's why he's
coming home, he said.

COSTS LESS HERE
FOR GOOD SCHOOLS
HATTIEsBURG SPENDS SMALLER
ANNUAL SUM THAN OTHER
MISSISSIPPI CITIES.

Figures compiled by outside and dis
interested parties, and received today
by City Commissioner A. Farley,
show that it costs the city of Hatties-
burg less money, by far, to educate its
student population, than any other city
or town in Mississippi, in proportion
to its population.
Hattiesburg, with its entire popula.
tion of more than 10000, spends but
$41 800 on its schools. Laurel, claiming
population og about 10000, annually
expends $4S,015 for educational pur.
poses. Meridian, having a population
of 23,2S5, according to the last census
gives to it's educational institutions
$75,501, while Jackson spends $57,71l
on its schools. The capital has pop
ulation of 21 1862.
These figures were compiled by the
Northeast Mississippi School-masters
Club. They show, Commissioner Fair
ley says, that Hattiesburg has a bet
ter class of schools and higher grade
of teachers, for which it pays les;
money, by far, than the schools o
other Mississippi cities.

NO EXCUSE NOW FOR
ILLITERAcY, he SAYS
Speaks In Favor Of Passage of lmmi-
grafton Bill-Qualifications Con.
tained in 1t Not only Fair and Just,
But Necessary for Preservation of
Ideals of this Experimentation
Have Changed.
Special TO The NeUs.

Special TO The NeUS.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Speal
ing in the House yesterday in favor
of the passage of the immigration bill
over the veto of President Wilson,
Representative Harrison of Mississip-
pi declared conditions in this country
have so changed since the government
was founded that restrictions of for
aign immigration such as the literacy
test were not only fair and just but
absolutely necessary for the preserva-
tion of the high ideals and the institu-
tions of the republic.
Mr.. Harrison agreed with the Presi-
dent that such restrictions if adopted
earlier in the history of the nation
would have proven unwise. Changed
conditions he said, have made neces-
sary new and changed laws. In its
formative period, here was country
that extended an invitation to the op-
pressed and adventurous of other
lands-an invitation, however, that
was accepted only by the sturdy Anglo
Saxons, whose souls cried out for lib
erty and whose hearts beat for free
dom. The undesirables, the riff-raf,
the outcasts and the scum Of the old
world did not accept the invitation
because they did not possess those
qualities of thrift and adventure and
love of freedom that make people
strong, a nation great"
A Day of Education.
"In those days." continued Mr.. Har
rison, there were no great steamship
lines to encourage and bring over fol
selfish purposes the illiterates ant
criminals of other lands. But those
who came to find haven and refuge
and make homes in the wilderness O.
the new world were moved by desire
for liberty, a love of freedom"
This is day when the spirit of edu
| CdtiOu pei iNduSo ali Jul PCoPio, ooie
Mr.. Harrison, and similar condition
is found in practically every civilized
nation of the world. "There is nj
reason now, as there might have beer
in former days, for anyone in any par
of the civilized world to remain illit
crate; to be deprived of an education
the best test of the true qualities o
good citizenship. There is nothing un
fair or unjust in this literacy test
will deprive none who are entitled Il
admission from coming to this coun
try, and 1t will allow those who ough
to come and who we would have com
to come"

FIELD SECRETARY
MAY RESIDE HERE
DR.. FARR, WHO is RAISING $4,000
FOR WoMAN's COLLEGE, LOOK
ING OVER CITY.

1t is probable that the Rev. W. E.
Farr, former pastor Of the Baptist
Church at Columbia, Miss, who recent
ly resigned from his charge to take up
the work of raising 100000 for Hat
tiesburg and Newton educational in,
stitutions, will come to Hattiesburg to
live, and will make this city his head
quarters while conducting the money
raising campaign.
DR.. Farr is in the city today, and
is discussing the probability of this
move. While the entire country will
be called upon to make contributions
to the endowment funds, he believes
that Hattiesburg would be the best
place in which to locate his family
and to make his headquarters.
The Educational Board of the Mis-
sissippi Baptist Church, at its recent
convention here, appointed DIR. Farr
as field agent Several days ago he
took up the work of raising $4,000
for the Woman's College in Hatties
burg, and $4,000 for the Clarke Me
mortal College at Newton.
Mr.. Farr is regarded as an excep
tionally good man for field work. Re

The Mayor Didn't
Want to See Where
Matte Was Struck
ORDINARILY, Mr. BATsoN MUST
BE SHOWN; TODAY, MOTH
ING DOING.

Ordinarily, you have to "show"
Mayor Batson.
But there's a limit.
There also was a reason, this morn
ing, also.
Joe Thomas, of Baptist Bottoms,
was in police court, charged with as
saulting his wife, Matte Thomas.
Matte said Joe had struck her sever
al times; had carried her into a room,
locked the door, and proceeded to give
vent to his feeling with his fists.
Joe said he didn't strike his better
half. He admitted carrying her bodily
into the room, and of locking the door.
He didn't strike her, he said. He is
too gallant to strike a woman.
"Jedge," he said, 'if dat woman got
de lickin' she say she did, dere ought
to be some signs of it,"
Then is when Matte came to the
bat bases all full and set for putting
| across a home run.
"Yo' Honah," she said, "dat niggah
is too wise to hits me in de face. He
hits me where it won't show. But
Ah'll show you what he went and
done to me-"
And then it was that Mayor Batsor
saw what Matties intentions were
Frantically he waved at the woman tt
take her seat and to discontinue plans
to give visible testimony. 81 believe
you, Matte, believe you. That's al
that's necessary. I'll take your wore
for it," the court exclaimed, and Jot
was fined $5 and costs before Matti,
was induced to take her seat.

MILLIONS FOR CATTLE DEALERS

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 5.-Prompted
by the hog cholera ravages in the
northwest and the recent epidemic
among cattle known as the hoof and
mouth disease, the Rockefeller Foun-
dation proposes to establish a $1,000
900 animal research bureau in New
Jersey. bill designed to permit the
establishment of the bureau in this
state is before the legislature. A sim,
liar bill last year was vetoed by Gov
ernor Fielder, on the ground that the
permit was too broad in character. A
bitter fight against the establishment
of the bureau was made last year by
the ti-vivisectionists, who, it is ex-
pected, will be up in arms again
this year. 1t is believed, however,
that the bill will be made law and
that the Rockefeller research bureau
will be established by 1916. under the

BUT SMALL DAMAGE
IS DONE BY STORM
LEAF RIVER AND GORDON CREEK
DRIVEN FROM BANKS,
HOWEVER.

Last nights storm, of something like
seven hours duration, while it flood
ed the streets and drove Gordon creek
which splits Hattiesburg in two, and
Leaf River, from their banks, did but
little damage to property along their
shores.
Leaf river was twelve feet above Its
normal wet weather mark this morn
ing, while the creek ran wild for a
time. The overflow of the two, how.
ever, caused but little inconvenience
and practically no damage.
The storm of last night was one OF
the hardest in weeks. The streets
of the city were practically deserted
hours before the regular time, and II
was almost impossible for pedestrians
to spend much time in the open.
The storm continued till after mid
night, having blown up at O'Clock

REQUEST FOR
MUzzL|NG ORDER
COMM SSlONERS NOT YET READY
TO ISSUE EDlCT AGAINST
DOGS.

If the county health officer, DR.. Rob
ert Donald, recomemnds to the Board
of City Commissioners the issuing of
a muzzling order, requiring all dogs
running at large to wear wire or
leather masks while the present rabies
scare continues, such an order will be
issued.
This announcement was made this
afternoon by Mayor Batson, in re-
sponse to numerous requests for in,
formation giving the attitude of the
present board of the muzzling edict.
"The County Health officer is an
authority on Diseases" Mayor Batson
said, "and believe that he knows
what is best for the good of the entire
community. The board has authority
to issue such an order, but will no,
do it until it is shown that such 6
thing is necessary.
I'VE do not want to see dogs infect
ed here, and we don't want the citi
zens of Hattiesburg to be in dange
from rabid animals. Just as soon a
the County Health Officer feels tina
such an edict is necessary, believ'
that the entire Board will grant hin
his request"
No cases of rabies have been report
ed in Forrest county. although adjoir
ing counties have been suffering fror
the disease.
