GOOD TIMES ARE
HERE, SAYS CAMP
HATTIEseURe MAN POINTS OUT
MEANING OF SUGGESTION OF
COMMERCE COMMISSION.

Better times are not coming; they
already are here.
This is the view of II. A. Camp, well
known Hattiesburg business man. who
today pointed out signs of not only an.
preaching business revivals, but o..
revivals that are actually on.
fhe suggestion given yesterday by
the Interstate Commerce Commits

should be prepared to handle a record
amount Of business during the next
few months, is Indicative of condi
tions. The commission, which has
made a study OF conditions through
out the country, not alone in one state
or section, has found that practically
every railroad car obtainable will .be
necessary to carry ON the transpor
tation of the country soon.
"In the past, every few weeks. re-

to 100000 freight cars being idle. here
and there throughout the country. You
will not find such case today.
"on the contrary, practically all the
cars are in use now, and as rapidly
as new ones can be manufactured
they are being purchased by the rail
road companies.
They are being used now, and It is
necessary to can all of them in to use
in order to carry on the business OF

CONCRETE ROADWAY
FOR GULF COAST
SHELLS TO BE REPLACED BY
MORE MODERN METHODS OF
ROAD BUILDING.

Good news for motorists, especially
those who spend any time ON the Gulf
Coast. is contained in letter received
today by a Hattiesburg man, from
George w. Grayson, Biloxi real es-
tate operator. Mr.. Grayson says that
the shell road on the coast. which
was washed away during the recent
storm. is to be replaced by the most
modern kind of concrete highway.
In his letter, he said:z
1.-The recent storm did lots of dam
age to our beautiful beach front and
1t would not be truthful to state that
our people were not very much de-
pressed for the first few days after.
the hurricane, but am very thankful
to say that everybody seems to have
taken on an optimistic view and the
work of rehabilitation is proceeding
rapidly.
you have no doubt observed from
the newspaper reports that the Coast
has determined to construct concrete
roadway in place of the old shell road.
This, in itself means more than any
body can realize at this time. Some
sort of protection win be provided to
take care of this modern road, all of
which will appear that the storm was
really a blessing in disguise.

Quinine,s Going Up

And now it's the high cost of dying.
Residents of Mississippi-and all

ed-will either have to stop having
chills and fevers, or else steel them
selves to undergoing the ordeal of
paying record high price for quinine,
which has advanced about $50 per

adding to the high cost of being i'll.
Quinine, which as short time ago
as ten days, was quoted to retail
druggists by the wholesalers at 20
cents an ounce is now quoted at $1.75
an ounce, very sharp and sudden
advance.
Whether speculation or the war is
causing the sudden rise in the price
of quin.le the druggists are unable
to say. All they know is that they
are now required to pay more for
the product. -
Quinine is manufactured in Ger.

Political Prosecutions.

Commenting on the prosecu-
tions following the indicu-
ments returned against var
ious state officials by the Ada
county grand jury, the editor
OF the Twin Falls Times says:
"The fat failure of the dis
trict court to make out cases
against most OF the men indict-
ed by the Ada county grand
jury makes the whole deal
look more like political job
berry than ever. Some of the
charges under which indict-
ments were made looked SUI
premely technical and without
foundation. The cases which
have gone to the trial jury SC
far have resulted in acquittals,
a fair criterion of the opinions
of the unbiased people. There
has been evidence, since the
converting of the grand jury.
thai an effort was being made
to discredit the Republican
party. A great many people
thought that where there wa.
so much smoke there must bt
some fire. But from every
indication the guilty persons

CHINESE HERE TO

 IN TONG OUTBREAK

Thirty-f1ve badly frightened and strange Chinese yesterday arrived in this city and were quietly absorbed in this city It is expected that oth- CT numbers will arrive here today.
 While denying knowledge of the whereabouts Of those known to have arrived in Bridgeport yesterday a we'll known representative of the race in Bridgeport today told a Farmer re- porter that the electrocution oR two Chinese nurderers in Sing Sing last week has prectpitated war between the On Leong Tong and the Hip Sing Tong which will undoubtedly end in much blood-shed. Both in New York and Boston the greatest unrest is felt and from each of those cities hun dreds are departing into far away cities, or those in which hiding is be- lieved possible.
 Bridgeport is among these cities and will likely be the hiding place of many Celestia1s until peace has been declared between the tongs.

BOARD
 ASKS $22, 900
 MORE FOR POOR
Expense of Department In crease Rapidly As Win
 ter Progresses


 An additional sum of $22.OO0 is to be asked by the charity board, of the Board of Apportionment, at a Joint meeting tonight, in addition to the sum Of $175,e0o already granted for | the erection and equipment of the new almshouse. It has been found by
 members of the board that this sum | will be needed for beds, bedding and other equipment at the home,
 This fact developed yesterday at the monthly meeting of the board when
 many matters relating to the con struction of the building were consid-
 cred.
 It also became known that in the
 expenditures for the month of Jan11- ary there has been a material in
 crease in the money paid to the out side poor. Where about $500 was spent during the same month a wear 1 ago, $2,705.93 will have to be paid l this month In explanation of this increase it was said that much of this
 was spent for food, and employment Of the unemployed on railroad buiId- ing and excavation at the new aims
 house. The rent account, paid out that families might not be homeless
 was $1,44S.5S as against about $1.15o l a year ago. The meeting was called to order yecterday afternoon by President Behrens, Rev. F'r. Matthew Judge be- ing absent The first matter of i'm portance was the disposition of the Oscawanna Building Company's check for $3,100, deposited with the Board of Contract & Supply when the bids were submitted. It was declined that such cheek should be secured from Clerk Baldwin of that board and de- posted with the Charities Board, on file.
 The matter of getting rails and ties for by the U. M. c. Company was discuss ed. Clerk Baldwin of the Contract board was asked to explain delays in securing this material which may put the work of construction behind, and replied that he was now securing bids on these supplies and would not hold the work up longer than necessary. Architect Skinner of the firm of Skinner & Walker asked some pointed 1 questions as to the capability of the men now excavating for foundation and tracks to complete the work in time to permit the contractors to pro- ceed with the building. Superintend- ent Spencer R. Gordon assured the board that the work would be done and orders were given today to add between 25 and 50 more men to the gang of about 250 already employed. A small army will attack the remain ing Iedges of rock and earth under the direct superintendence of Dr. J. H. Macdonald, Lakeview superin- l teendent-
 | Upon the plea of Messrs. seery and HounsIey of the Crane Valve company
 of this city who craved the right to 1 furnish equipment under the speci- 1 hcations. President Behrens was in l structed to write to the Board of i Contract and Supply that it was the
 desire of the Board of Charities that l where prices and quality were the
 same preference should be given the local industry.
