ROAD COST FIGURES
ARE MISLEADING
So 800 EXPENDED BY CULPEPPER
ONLY PART OF EXPENSES,
RECORDS SHOW.

That the $2,S00 expended during lle
last five months by Horace Culpepper,
lin charge of the convict rOad-making
crew of the county, does not cover all
! the expenses of that department, is the
declaration made by Il member of the
Board of Supervisors today.
1t was stated III The News yesterday
that the amount expended by Il. j.
Hendrix, road commissioner. was more
than $4,000, while Culpepper had spent
but $2,800 during the same period.
One member of the board today said:
The cmparison is misleading. The
$2,S00 spent by Mr.. Culpepper does not
include purchase OF machinery, $1,000
having been invested for road-making
equipment last month alone. 1t does
not include cost of litigation, and a
hundred and one other things.
"Mr. Hendrix expended money dur.
ing his term of office, judiciously and
economically There is no evidence
lof any waste at any time, and we be-
| lieve that he got as much for the
money he spent as any other commits
sioner could have received

COULDN'T SET THE
CLOCKS FORWARD AN HOUR
EVEN IF 1T WANTED TO.

Old Father Time is not amenablc TO
Congress.
Congressman b. Pat Harrison, OF
mississippi, has come upon this dis
coyery in connection with the pro
posed daylight saving bill. This in
formation is contained in letters re-
.ceived from the congressman by Hat
tiesburgians today.
When he consulted his colleagues
he VS. told that regulation OF time,
under the constitutional proyisins for
Legislation by Congress, is not ~Within
the scope Of that body.
Further investigation disclosed that
even the standard time, under which
railroad schedules are run, is not stat
utory time, but is the result OF an
agreement reached by railroad men in
1888.
Before that time each city had its
own time, and also railroad time"
which was inquired on the basis OF the
time at the railroad terminals. The
confusion resulting led to the arrange
ment of changing the railroad schedule
hours at Pittsburg, Chicago and Den
YER
Only about five states have legis-
lated this standard time into law
Only the states can SO legislate, Mr..
Harrison said he has been informed.
I'VE still hope to find a loophOle
by which the bill can be introduced
into Congress" Mr. Harrison wrote.
"If such an arrangement went into ef-
feet, setting up the clocks from April
till September by one hour, of course,
the railroads would have to cooperate,
or it would not be successful"

The establishment of $4,000 hos
pital for the care and treatment OF
tuberculosis patients of the State, in
the vicinity Of Hattiesburg, is a pos
sibility today.
Acting on a suggestion made to them
by DR.. j. d. Donald, the Board Of Super
visors of Forrest county are consider
ing the proposition of purchasing 200
acre site within a couple of miles OF
this city, upon which to erect the nee
essary buildings.
While this is being considered, II.
A. Camp. we'll known lumber man, is
questioning the big land owners III
this section. with view of finding
some one who will donate such an acre
age for this purpose.
MI Camp believes that he will ce
able to obtain the land as a gift.
The tuberculosis hospital idea was
originated by some person whose name
is being withheld, and was made known
to Hattiesburg people by ]. j. Taylor,
industrial and immigration agent OF
the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad Com
pany. In letter to Mr.. Camp, Mr.
TAYLOR had this to say:
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1916-06-10
Here's the Proposition:

providing some public spirited
citizen. or others, will donate 200
acres of land for the purpose OF
placing a state institution thereon,
I will be able to locate such an
institution on our line of road.
There has been a provision Tor
spending $4,000 on the building,
and it appears to be that this In
stitution would be quite an asset
to any section of our country.
They must have high, dry well
drained land, and it must be To-
Gated on or near this line OF road.
In fact. they would not consider
location more than two miles from
station. They are not anxious
to locate at any town. In tact, on
account of the nature of the propo-
sition, which is a tuberculosis sanl-
tarium, it would be much better 10
locate at some point on our iiiie
between the towns that now exist.
'If you have such location in
mind, or know of one, will thank
you for information with reference
to the same"
While Mr.. Camp was searching 10
person who would donate the prol
srty. DR.. Donald appeared before tn
Board of Supervisors. explained wha
vas wanted, and the board unanimous
y, as individuals, agreed to purchas
