Entered as second-cUss matter on Msy'ï» 1Ï07, at the postoffice at Hat tiesburg, Miss, under the Act of Congress of March 2. 1872. — OFFICIAL PAPER CITY OF HATTIESBURG AND COUNTY OF FORREST. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRE8S. UNION -At WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1911. LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SOUTH MISSISSIPPI PAPER. TELEP HONES: Editorial and News Rooms .. . Business and Job Department 35 133 ADVERTISING THE SOUTH The Boston Herald comments favorably upon a circular recently issued by the Southern Commercial Congress, endorses the facts contained therein and compliments the Congress for not overdrawing their glowing picture of the South. % In the Congress circular It was stated that the South has a coast line treble either the North or the Pacific States, a larger mileage of navigable streams than any other division of the country, more water power, and better distributed rainfall, more drainngable lands, a greater variety of soil, more growing hours per year, greater forest areas and a greater variety of minerals than either the North or the West. more All this is conceded by the Boston Herald, which generously says: All things considered, the Congress has underrated rather than overrated the natural resources or the South, lar the estimate of something over 18,000 miles of navigable streams is probably too low, almost certainly so if the poten tialities of such streams be considered. In particu In the Cliesaiieake basin alone, the local navigation of inland streams must imate 800 miles, and could probably be extended to 1,000 miles or more, while the potential navigation of neglected streams tributary to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast below the Chesapeake capes must be very great. In fact, the South Is the most promising field within onr continental area for the development, conservation and intelligently productive use of natural resources, and it is the region to which Immigration, both domestic and foreign, must before long turn in search of land and all that land can supply. approx Such friendly statements from newspapers located so far from Dixie the best advertising this section can have. are CATHOLICITY AND THE SALOONS At a recent meeting of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society of the Archdiocese of Boston, the President of that organization, John T. Shea, out lined the attitude of the Catholic Church toward the saloon and liquor-sell ing In this clear statement; We must, let our non-Catholic brethren know that Catho licity and the saloon interests are not synonymous; that the Church and the saloon are not allies. That the Church condemns in the severest language the sin of drunkenness, and teaches that he who dies In that state Is eternally lost, that we share in the drunkard's sin In nine ways—by counsel, command, consent, provocation, praise or flattery, silence, con , nivance, partaking and defense of the 111 done. the Church are Judging the attitude of the Church on the liquor question by the votes of so many Catholic legislators, liquor champions are placing the Church in a false position be fore the world. The world does not know that our Church here In America has exhorted all Catholics engaged In the liquor bus iness to leave It. Our Church can be placed in Its true light and her best Interests subserved by lessening the number of sentatives bearing Catholic names who can always be relied on to vote with the liquor interests. Sending such men to the Leg islature is doing injury to Mother Church. Stop voting for them. Mr. Shea certainly leaves no doubt as to the position he takes toward the liquor traffic, and his forceful declaration should command the attention of all churchmen the nation over. She teaches Those outside These repre HOLD IT HURTS THE STATE A New York news special says: "Edward L. Andrews, counsel for the bondholders' committees, has written a letter to stock exchange authorities, protesting against the listing of the proposed bond issues of Mississippi and North Carolina. "It is charged that Mississippi sold hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of an issue, and afterwards declined to pay first coupons on the ground that the bonds were irregular, or to repay the money expended. "The letter alleges defaults of payment both in Mississippi Carolina, and opposes extension of further credit and North to either state." All of which goes to show to what base tute their trusts. use public officials may prosti When men in office play selfish politics, the people suffer. The News does not assume to know more law than the state officials know; but any man of common sense knows there was no necessity or good Judgment or sound reason for defaulting bonds. There Is no manner of doubt, there payment of Interest on the state can be no doubt, that It was There may have been an honest purely à political play to thé galleries, difference as to the legal question Involved; but that difference could have been settled In a more Intelligent way than it was, and In a manner better to conserve the credit of the state. It need not have been bungled as It was. It would not have been bungled as It was. If selfish politics had not played a most prominent part in the case. For the credit of the state and the best Interests of its people, such spiteful, bungling, petty politics should be rebuked. ■> US Y DAM, WHERE ART THOU ? New York special to Cincinnati Enquirer: "The whole Dam family came to town today. them. Including Father Dam and Mother Dam and Brother Dam and Sister Dam, not to speak of Baby Dam and the Dam toy dog. Moreover, they all came from Rotterdam on the steamship Ryndam. "Conspicuous In the family are two sets of Dam twins. The proud father ia John Dam, 45 years old. He is a farmer from Nieur Bey< rland, Holland, and he Is going to take the Dam children to Pella, Iowa. "Mother Dam is 44. Then, In oyder of seniority, the Dam children are aligned as follows: Henry Dam and his twin sister, Pleternella Dam, aged 17; Jacob Dam, Jr., and hia twin sister, Hilllgje Dam, aged 15; Johannes Dam, 11; Pieter Franz Dam, 9; Stelntje Dam, 8 ; Leondert Dam, 6 ; Cornells A. Dam. 3, and Arie C. Dam, 1 year old. Of the ten children three are Dam girls. There were thirteen of * "With the Dam family was Father Dam's brother, Jan J. Dam, who is going to live with them. Another big family on board was that of Wilhelm Wisse, who was accompanied by his wife and ten children. The ages of the jjT; tatter go down the scale like this. Twenty-three, 22, 19, 18, 16, 15, 18, 11, 9 and 5. They came from Fernuhene, Zeeland, and they are going to Passaic, N. J., where Wisse has a brother, Antonius." * ■'* m The Vacation Question Have you need of a summer vacation? Do you wish to take one? Have you the money to do it? Let us makt a suggestion.
