Hattiesburg, Sept. 2. Two new factories started in operation this week, one being an artificial stone manufactory, at the head of which Is R. J. Fenn of Pop-larvllle, with C.

E. Thomas of Purvis as superintendent. The company starts with orders that will keep It busy for cyme time. The other factory Is for the manufacture of coffins, and is promoted by David Falrley. It Is equipped with modern machinery, and Is emplovlcg the woods native to this section.

The cost of the finished article is very low, be cause or tne cheapness of the material. Close to two hundred bales of cotton have already been received on the Hattiesburg market, and of this amount not less than one-third is of last year's crop held over. The Jones-Winters telephone system, which a month aeo was granted franchise for an underground telephone svstem in this city, has Just filed with the city council Its acceptance of the franchise, and work on the system will commence at once.

For these purposes it mat be necessary to issue about of bonds.

The bonded indebtedness of the city is only JKioiOO, and the city has legislative authority to issue bonds to an amount not exceeding 7 per cent of Its assessed values.

The Capitol Commissioners lipid a meeting this morning to take action on a question of disputed Jurisdiction between the Capitol authority's and the city administration. It nm that complaints had Inn filed with Major Wharton by parties living near the Capitol ground that children were using the sidewalks on the grounds for bicycle riding. The major promptly ordered that the riding should cease. Barents of the children took the matter up and it developed that the sidewalks were exclusively on the grounds owned by the State and not laid on the regular ground allotted by the city for sidewalks. I nder these circumstances the commission adopted a resolution which provides that the commission baa entire control over the grounds of the Capitol that no just ground cf complaint can be made by any citizen to any other authority than the Capitol Commissioner themselves, and that the city baa no right to interfere In any way with the grounds belonging to the Capitol.

The resolution further grants permission to the children to use the sidewalks as a playground, provided they do not injure the walks or the grass and tree. As soon as the Blatter was understood by the city authorities they at once revoked the order prohibiting the children from playing on the walks, and it was explained to the commission that the city was under the impression that the sidewalks were laid as other walks on the city grounds.

1L A HEALTH CONVENTION SOfTHERX PEOPLE TO TALK OVER QUARANTINE. I'nderenrient if Feeling- Tends to Open Expression That Money-Spent on Inspeetion and Quarantine Guards Could Be More Profitably Employed Otherwise. Special to The Times-Democrat. Jackson, Sept. 2.

This afternoon Gov. Vardaman received a telegram from Gov. Cox of Tennessee, asking if he would Join with Southern Governors and busluess bodies In a call for a Southern Immigration and quarantine convention to be held about Nov. 1. No place is suggested.

Gov. Vardamau replied Immediately that he would gladly Join In the call, but suggested Nov. 13 as per haps the best date for holding the con vention. While not stated In the telegram. It Is understood that the object of this convention is to review the events of the present panic, exhibit statistics and show to the people of the South and to the world at large that the old super stitious dread of the disease Is a thing to be relegated to the past; that the yellow mask has been torn from the mon ster and reveals a foe that need no longer he feared, and that science has triumphed ouce more over superstition.

Despite the present stringency of quar antines there Is a strong undercurrent of feeling, becoming mote and more boldly expressed each day, that the money spent on quarantine inspection and quarantine guards could be more profitably end more sensibly Invested In daily in spections of the cities and towns and the scientific handling of cases that might be found. As the public mind grows quieter and false rumors are exploded. It Is pointed out that a great Commonwealth of nearly two million souls has tied up business and paralyzed commerce for a few cases of sickness that under any other name would scarcely be noticed in a town of bxm people, and the thinking citizen is beginning to ask if we are not actors In a farce rsther than a tragedy. As the situation Improves day by day and the reports from New Orleans show a steady decrease under the mae-nlflcent scientific warfare being waged in that city, people are beginning to realize that the only excuse for a panic, namely, the possible spread of the dls-ease, has failed, and whether they accept or reject the fact of mosquito transmission they are forced to admit that science has tbe whip-hand and that yellow fever Is actually being controlled.

The complainants say that the service at the present time Is so bad that they consider It a "crying sin" that the company should ask for compensation, and appeal to the commission to use Its Influence in compelling the Cumberland people to put the 'phones in that section In beter condition. Secretary Barrow stated to-day that it was impossible for the commission, under the present quarantine conditions, to have a personal Inspection made, but that as a matter of expediency his office had entered Into correspondence with the hope of having the necessary Improvements made at the earliest possible time. In the event that this correspondence does not have the desired effect complaints will be filed against the telephone com- Eany and the matter will come up for earing at the next session of the commission, which will be held as soon as a modified quarantine regulation will permit.

The rendition of "Dixie" by Miss Mollie Blauchard, the young girl who captured the United Confederate Veterans' convention at Louisville, will be one of the most stirring events of the day. Tha young lady will be given a guard of honor composed of grizzled old veterans of tha Soldiers' Home, and one hundred and fifty young girls between the ages of seven and eleven will make the echoes sound merrily in a grand chorus as they accompany Miss Blanchard. It Is probable that, as an encore, the young lady and accompanying children will sing "My Old Kentucky Home" to a full band accompaniment.
