Goodbye ■llll Birthday of the Republic. •; It has been 132 years since rates formed the-first fedt inal a he tlon and promulgated that immortal •nation of Inde document—th, pen den ce. Despite the fact tljat the seeds of American liberty were first sown on Southern «eoil, and that Southern statesmen were responsible for the birth of this, the greatest Republic on the face of the earth, the people of the South have not in recent years entered into the celebration of the Glorious Fourth with enthusiasm. The cause of this seeming indiffer ence is well known to us all. The war between the States did not rob the South of its patriotism, but the re construction period—when the Amer ican flag become the symbol of oppres sion, was the mask for crime. But the North has long since seen its errors. The good people of that section have made partial amends for the agregious wrongs perpetrated in the name of Liberty—and the eternal stretch of Time is healing the wounds and scars of that unfortunate con flict. Proud, but patriotic, the South has long since renewed its allegiance to the flag which it created, and the shal low mind of the revalcitrant, North erner has been molded to a higher re gard for the South's part in the war. On more than one occasion the sons of the South have proven the sin cerity of their professed devotion to this reunited country, and the presi dent of the United States has recent ly Bhown his regard for a valiant Con federate soldier by appointing him Sec retary of War. It is then fitting that the South should again resume the beautiful cus tom of paying fitting tribute to the American flag at each recurrance of the anniversary of the Republic, and the people of Hattiesburg should en ter heartily Into the spirit of the day.

The proposed structure is to be the highest in the world. If this sort of thing keeps up, what will be the need of airships? Elevators will do the work. They will keep go ing and going until the passenger is turned loose upon Mars or any other planet he chooses. He may get round trip elevator tickets, with berths for the night ride upwards.

Build sixty-two stories Every | area and you will have multiplied the area You will get into sixty-two times. building floor space that would re one quire twenty blocks of two-story struc tures to duplicate. Therefore, in New York there probably is a sort of use. Nevertheless, except as an adver tisement, it is hard to discern the prac tical advantage to an insurance com pany of such a structural shaft.

Be that as it may, Arthur Brisbane, the responsible editor of ten newspapers and ten magazines is a most remarkable man—doubtless well worth the $72,000 a year which Mr. Hearst is paying him for his work. If Bryan is elected president this year he will owe his success chiefly to Theodore Roosevelt. Many a voter who eight years ago scouted Mr. Bryan as a wild and dangerous Pop ulist, now remarks indulgently that he is very much like Mr. Roosevelt.

At first It looked like Laurel was an easy mark for the Hattiesburg boys, but the thing soon changed up and Laurel began to make connection with Carter's balls. Hattiesburg had very little trouble in locating the curves of Webb's balls and but . for the errors made, the game would have resulted In an easy victory for Hattiesburg, for one or two Innings toward the last Hattiesburg had one the best, but In the first half of the ninth, Laurel brought in two runs which placed them one ahead.
