PAISLEY FUNERAL
IS HELD TODAY
THROkGS ATTEND LAST RITES
FOR WELL KNOWN RAW.
ELiNG MAN.

The funeral of w. A. Paisley, for
the lastgseven years resident OF Hat
tiesburg, who lost his life Saturday
afternoon when he accidentally fell
through an elevator shaft in the SEQ
vile Hotel, Atlanta, was held from
the family residence, 1907 Main
street Baptist church, conducted the
Rev. e. F.. Dudley. pastor of the Main
strict Baptist church, conducted the
services. Interment was in the City
Cemetery.
The pallbearers were DIR. T. B..
Wright, NJ P l.. Love, T. S. Jackson,
Luther A. Smith, William Taylor, and
d. B. Holmes.
The body was brought to Hatties-
burg on No 1 of the New Orleans E.
Northeastern this morning.
Dispatches from Atlanta today gave
details of the accident. Mr.. Paisley
was standing in the lobby of the Sec
Vile Saturday waiting for the eleva-
or which was to have carried him t,
his room above. He had rung for the
elevator. The door leading into tn"
shaft was opened, and it is supposed
that he stepped through this, think
ing the elevator had reached that
floor.
He fell one floor TO the basement.
His skull was fractured. Death was
instantaneous.
Mr.. Paisley was born in Pulaski,
Tenn, So years ago. He moved TO
West Point in 1900. and nine years
afterwards came to Hattiesburg. He

that time. He is survived by Mrs.

is interfering a good deal with deliv-
eres.
There is practically nothing new in
the export situation, which presents
the one big problem of procuring
ships to supply the demand from
abroad as the limit of the business
possible to transact Charter rates con-
tinue to climb, Gulf to River Plate
having recently shown fixtures at 420
shilIings a standard for steamer, with
an improved movement to that Sec
ton, while the West Indies trade, par
ticularly Cuba, is showing good
trade.
1t is reported that owing to the
shortage of shipping from the Gulf
some shipments have gone by rail to
New York for forwarding to Europe,
but in view of the great congestion
at that port the experiment is not
looked upon hopefully. The effect of
the order in council of the British gov
eminent regulating imports is so far
matter of some uncertainty, but it is
probable that as the purpose of the
order is to so control the use of the
available shipping as to favor the
movement of actual necessities, it will
facilitate the movement of yellow pine
rather than further impede it, the
diminishing stocks and the large de-
mand pointing it out as the great sta
pie in the lumber line in Great Britain.
The last few days have brought
out nothing new in regard to report

Are Told How to Regain Strength
and vigor.
Mrs. James A. Smith, of Oakland,
CAL, says: eMy husband, now eighty
two years of age. is a retired veteran
OF the navy, and he has been strength
ened and benefited great deal by
Vinol. My long experience with first
class physicians and nurses enables
me to discriminate in medicines, and
4 must. say, Vinol has proved it's
wonderful qualities to relieve and
strengthen the whole system under
very trying circumstances. When the
blood is thin and needs Strengthening,
and to build up a depleted system,
nothing equals vinol."

old people beenuse the tonic iron, the
medicinal properties of fresh Gods liv-
ers, beef peptone and mild native wine
which it contains are the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's

SPECIAL EVEL0PMENT
LACKING IN LAST WEEK
The Demand, However, Has Kept UP
to the Point Which Has Prevailed
During the Preceding Weeks-Many
Improvement Projects are Waiting
More Definite Developments in the
Market Situation-Car Shortage
Hurt.

The yellow pine market situation
during the last few days has not been
marked by any special development,
the demand having been kept up to
the point which has prevailed of late
weeks. The attitude among the mills
is rather one of expectancy as to the
trend of the market which should log
ically develop in the near future, than
. concern as to its temporary fluctua-
tons from week to week.
Just at present, most of them are
adopting policy of watchful, though
it may be said, hopeful waiting. A
number of projects for improvements
are awaiting more definite develop
ments in the market situation before
being definitely decided upon but the
great improvement so far made is held
as good augury for the future.

tinues in good volume. and the ten
dency is toward expansion. 1t was said
few days ago by the owner of large
retail line yard business that
that he was about two million feet
short of his normal supplies at this
season, having delayed buying as US
ual during the winter to fill up his
stocks, which he would now have to
do; and that this was typical of the
general situation in the yard trade.
This partially explains the dull con-
dition of the trade a couple of months
ago, and argues the probability of in
creased call from the yards in the near
future. 1t is reasonably certain also
that other classes of buyers have made
haste slowly, in uncertainty as to the
permanency of the growth in demand
and betterment of prices and strong
feature of encouragement to the man
ufacturers is the substantial growth OF
trade during the winter under such
conditions.

Car Shortage Hurts.

The menace to the trade from the
scarcity of cars is growing more pro
nounced, and lhas become OF
serious magnitude in some places. In
connection with this is the difficulty
of securing room on vessels for move
ment by water to the eastern sea-
board, virtual embargo having been
declared against lumber shipments
from the Gulf, which interferes SER
iously with supplying a very marked
increase in demand from that section,
much of the traffic for which is now
going by rail.
A good volume of exports through
Gulf ports is assisting substantially
in regard to the car supply for north
bound lumber shipments. however; but
in the far eastern section congestion
