Sumrall.-Fire at the plant of the

20, resulted in a loss estimated at
100000. This estimate was made
while the flames were still burning
and the loss may be greater. The
flames travelled eastward into the lum-
Der yard, endangering the negro quar-
ters nearby. The machine shops next
caught fire and the water system col
lapsed. A call for assistance was sent
to Hattiesburg, and that city respond
ed by sending a gasoline motor pump.
However, the machine was rendered
useless when a piston rod broke.

Blue Mountain.-A tragedy occurred
at the home of P. D. Rushing, one mile
north of Blue Mountain, on the night
of July 30, when Harvey Moore was
stabbed to death, it is alleged, by his
father-in-law, P. D. Rushing, wieh
whom Moore and his wife lived. Some
time ago, following unfortunate cir
cumstances, Moore, who had fled the
country for time, returned and mar
ried Miss Rushing. The sad occur
renee of last evening was evidently
the climax of some unfortunate af-
fairs concerning Moore's child.
Moore, who was stabbed in the
large artery of the left leg. fled from
the house and started toward the
home of his brother-in-law. ]. w. Tur-
ner, about 300 yards away. He fell,
exhausted from loss of blood, before
reaching the home Of Turner, but was
carried there later, where he died be-
fore daylight.
Rushing is old, feeble and said not
to be in the best of mental health. He
was arrested and committed to Jail.

INDIVIDUALITY AS A FACTOR
Impossible to Separate What Is, and
Must Be, the Part Of Mans
Own Being.

Any attempt to define the ultimate
spirit of the individual seems doomed
to failure.
There is a saying of Bishop But
ler's which might well be recommend
ed to the philosopher: Everything is
what it is, and not another thing"
So individuality is simply individ-
uality; and the attempt to discover
some further meaning for the word
can only lead to error.
We might be tempted, for instance,
to suggest that a mans true ego is
nothing more than his character.
But individuality goes deeper even
than character.
Character changes; the individual
remains the same.
Thus man who in his youth is hon
est may meet with temptations that
make him a thief; so, too, the senti-
mentalist may become cynic.
The changing character is no more
than a manifestation of the individu
ality beneath.

subject of building, for the readers OF this
paper On account Of his wide experience

Large farmhouses for business
farms are built differently from any
other kind Of residence.
The business of farming is carried
on to make money; therefore, part Of
the house becomes an Office and a
workshop. At the same time the main
object in building a house is to pro
vide comfortable living quarters for
the family.
The house design herewith illustrat-
ed shows a successful combination
comprising many advantages. 1t is

This splendid farmhouse was built
on ground sloping slightly from the
front to the back, so that more Of the
basement wall is exposed at the back,
or what might be termed the business
side Of the house.
There is a concrete wall 8 feet in
height, including the footings. This
wall is the full size of the house and
encloses a splendid basement. The
concrete basement floor is built up a
little above the footings, so that space
between the surface of the floor and
the bottom of the floor joists of the
main living room measures Z feet 6
inches in the clear.
There is a cross wall which divides
the cellar into two main divisions, one
of which contains the vegetable cell

1t is full time that Colorado, truly
the mountain state of America, should
be distinguished with a great national
park. There are more than hundred
mountain peaks in this great back
bone of the United States which are
above $4,000 feet in height, while in
az the other states combined there
are less than a score of mountains of
such commanding attitudes, so that it
