The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-07-30

TOday's estimates, when compared
with those given in The News extra
issued last night, differ but little,
showing the eXactness of the lat:cT.
Concerning the future of the Sum-
rail- plant, Mr. Haynen this afternoon
said:
at is impossible for me to say at
this time exactly what the Newman
company will do, and when it will do
it. The president of the organization
is not here yet. 1t will be necessary
| to go over the matter with him before
step is taken.
Il believe, though, that the Sum-
! rail- plant which was destroyed, will
| be replaced by a modern one in every
respect by the first of the coming
year. 1t will require but three or four
months in which to build another
plant When another mill of the New
man company was destroyed some
years ago, it required but a few
weeks time in which to rebuild it.
"The insurance adjusters should
visit the plant tnd our offices within
a short time, and take up the matter
with us. l will not say at this time
just how much insurance is carried on
the property which was lost, and
which was damaged"
Mr, Haynen said that beginning To-
might, the forces of the burned mill
will be transferred to No. mill, and
THAT practically none CT The worluner
will lose any time. "The company is
liable and anxious to take care of its
employees on an occasion like this" hl
continued.
Won't Rush Work.
Mr.. Haynen explained that owing tC
i, existing conditions there is no reason
for rushing the work on the proposed
mill.
One of the singular features of the
disaster was the fact that but three
: hours before the fire broke out in tht
dry kiln, Inspector Burlington, repre-
senting the Manufacturers Insurance
organization, had made an inspection
of the plant, and when the fire wa'
discovered, he was at lunch with Gen
eral Manager Haynen and other off
;,I- In, how of n
rail- cafe. There was nothing wroni
with the plant. and apparently it wa
subjected to no more danger from
& burning than any other plant whel
the inspector went through.
AS stated in The News last night
the rough shed, about 100000 fee
of export lumber, the planer of No.
the burner, and the boiler rooms wer
4 saved. The dry kiln, the mill, 5000
3 600 feet of export lumber, and othe
smaller buildings went up in smoke.
The fire was discovered at l o'cloc

No. 2 of the Newman Co., with near
ly every one of its subsidiary build
ings, was destroyed by a fire, discoV-
cred shortly after l o'clock yesterday
afternoon in the dry kiln of that plant.
The combustible nature of the
buildings and their contents, together
with the course of the winds which
swept Sumrall during the conflagra-
ton, made it impossible, with the linn
tied fire fighting facilities at hand, to
save any of the buildings and the
yard attached That Mill No. 3, the
LAST wold in steel and concrete lum-
Der manufacturing buildings did not
follow No. 2, Nas but little less than a
miracle.
The loss entailed BY the disaster is
divided as follows:
Mill No. .............. fO,0OU
Lumber .. 100, 900
Other buildings and 9th
er properties ...... 10000
Total $500, 900
These figures are merely the rough
estimates made by officials of the j
J. Newman Lumber Company.
| Are Checking Up.
W. ]. Haynen, general manager OF
the company, and Superintendent
| Welch are at Sumrall today with the
appraisals of the plant and yards, and
are checking up the losses. 1t will be
a day or two before a positive idea
of the exact losses can be obtained.

PANGGANGS OF MALAY.
Ruled by an Old Witch, They Are the
 Queerest People Known.

Ruled by an old Witch, They Are the oueerest People Known. Ruled by a great enchantress and \ having no form of money. the Fang | gangs, a tribe in mountainous jungle | In the northern part of the Malay peninsula. is one of the queerest known to white men. The tribesmen are of negroid type, whose social or ganization is that of simple form of commonwealth and who are nomadic. wandering about from place to place in their dense jungles and forests. Among them dwells woman whose strange characteristics are strongly reminiscent of Haggard's famous "She" The woman Is supposed to be great enchantress. She Is held in dread by the Panggangs. She lives alone in bamboo hut. shaded by the leaves of the sacred ubang tree. Food Is brought her daily by the oldest man or woman of the tribe.
 The Panggangs are said to be a peaceable and honest people. and do not. among themselves. either fight or steal. They literally have no use for money for trading purposes. but if by chance they get money they bury it. so that they may use 1t in trading after death. After getting supply of food, they do no work whatever until the supply is ended. They eat any wild creature.
 These people do not seem to have any religion. but they have a queer belief in tbe transmigration of souls. In their country tigers are numerous. and they believe that sometimes their relatives. when they die. become chang ed into otigers.-Argonaut.

KILL HOLSTERS KINDLY.

 Bring Them to a Boh.
 Boiling oyer d slow fire is the hap Diest death a lobster can meet. so il has been determined at the Jersey ma rine biulOgic;,i station. The experi- ments were carried out by Joseph SineI. q we'll known biologist. for the Isle of Jersey Society For the Proven bers associated the prevalent method of killing holsters with medieval tor ture.
 Holsters. says Mir. Sinel. are ex- tremely difficult to kill. Piercing the brain does not seem to cause the lob ster more than temporary annoyance. since his brain iS d mere nerve gan, glion the size ot d hemp seed. He has to be Killed all over. To throw him into boiling water fails to do the work either nner.ifully or quickly since he struggles violently to escape for about two minutes.
 The pIeasantest way to end lob Ster'S troubles. Mir. Sinel finds. is the old faShiont d way of placing him in cold water and bringing him to q boil As the water warns he becomes lazy and rolls ove. as for d sleep. By the time the water reaches the cOinparA- lively mild temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit tle becomes conatoSe.

Human Emotions Have a Potent Fife ct
 Upon the Physical Being.
 A man is handed telegram. He is eating and enjoying his dinner. He reads the contents of the message. Al most immediately afterward his body Is a-tremble, his face either reddens or grows "ashy white," his appetite is gone; such Is the effect of the mind upon the stomach that 1t literally re- fuses the food; if forced upon it it may reject 1t entirely.
 A message is delivered to a lady. She Is In genital, happy mood. Her face whitens, she tremhles and her body falls to the ground in faint. temporarily helpless, apparently life less. Such are the intimate relations between the mind and the body.
 Great stress or anxiety or fear may In two weeks or even in two days time so work Its ravages that the per son looks ten years or even twenty years older. A person has been long given to worry or perhaps to worry in extreme form, though not so long; a we'll defined case of indigestion and general stomach trouble, with a gen. orally lowered and sluggish vitality has become pronosnced and fixed.
 Any type of thought that prevails in our mental lives will in time produce its correspondence in our physical lives. As we understand better these laws of correspondences we will be more careful as to the types of thoughts and emotions we consciously or un- willingly entertain and live with.

Weiqht After Meals.

There is. CT used to be. an idea that one weighs less after d meal than be fore. but that is nonsense. There is always d definite increase of weight after q meal. and with most people it is curiouSly uniform. After an average dinner washed down with the average amount of liquid three quarters of d pint-the average man will invariably find that he weighs two pounds more than he did before the meal There seems to be no reason why q really dt-ternsined diner should not double that increase X half pint tumblar of water or q breakfast cupful of tea weighs ten ounces. so that probably over half of the two pounds increase of weight after dinner iS accounted for by the liquid part of the meal.
