The "HealIng WELL"

Much has been written, and moro
said, of the remarkable "Healing well'
discovered In January last on the
plantation OF Mr.. w. A. Pollock, on
Black Bayou, in this county. Only
six months have elapsed since the ex-
istcnce OF this well was revealed In
dream to laboring field hand ON tho
place, aud yet its fame as a remedial
agent has already gone abroad, and
the water is being shipped in consld-
cradle quantities, while Mr.. Pollock
states that his correspondence concern
ing the water is becoming burden
some. On Sunday, the Gath, the well
was formally Of visitors, the occasion
being the completion Of neat cottage
hotel, with bathrooms attached. and an
elegant dinner served under tho aus
pices Of Mr.. E. Enos, who Is ip charge
OF the establishment. Mr.. Pollock has
received SO many applications for the
accommodation of guests that he says
q fifty room hotel could at once be
filed at once be filled with occupants.
His intention Is to construct such
building, or an even much larger one,

here both wide and doep, and capable

An Appeal TO Cotton Planters.

The gradual consolidation of "cotton
seed oil mills" for the purpose Of crc-
ating a "cotton seed bureau" to dis
pense with all competition by agents
and force all cotton planters 10 take
the very lowest figures for their cot
ton seed suggests that the hour has
arrived for some concert Of action
amongst cotton planters. Prompted
by these ideas, we, the undersigned,
do lend our names to ask for q meet
ing OF all cotton planters, who are In
terested In this question, to meet at
the court house in the city Of Vicks-
burg, county of Warren, State Of Mis-
sissippi, on July IL, at IL m, to dis
cuss some sort of organization with
reference TO the disposal Of said cotton
seed products In the best and fairest
manner for oil concerned In said trans.
action.
The foregoing signed by number
of leading Delta cotton growers, il
copied from the Commercial Herald
and commended TO the readers of the
TIMES.

AN EvAsIvE ANSWER.

MIR. Cox of Tennessee put question
to Mr.. Hatch, which the latter Gid not
answer to the satisfaction of the form
er. 1t was In substance whether the
person 10 whom The delivery of these
commodities was to be made would
have the right to release the seller
from bis obligation 10 delivor them.
Of course not, for 10 allow the new
law to be evaded or rendered WORTH
less In that manner would be to des-
troy totally the value of the law, II II
is to be of any value. Mr.. Hatch's
evasive answer was that no man in
the United States has any right TO go
upon the boards of trade and make a
sale or a purchase which Is In such
bad faith that when he comes to con-
summatc It he Is going to destroy the
value of the property of the people.
Any member of the House Of Repre-
sentatives might have given that an
swer, whether ho fayors the Hatch
bill or is opposed to 1t. The answer
begged the question. 1t Is disputed
point whether these sales for future de-
livery destroy anybody's property

defense of his property, killed the

his character, in demanding pay for

II ldsB uuC lOJts
Editor ENrosIToR and Fellow Townsmen:
will again pen few lines to you,
telling how | am getting along in this
country. We have had IL long spell of
dry weather, in fact there has been but
little rain since last October, but with
the long drouth crops look remarkably
well. We had green corn for dinner
yesterday, the corn being planted
about March LIST, also plenty of green
peas for the past two weeks. Tomatoes
we have every month in the year. Our
pine apples are getting ripe, we brought
in some ripe ones yesterday. Bananas
we have plenty all the year. A party
took my sail-boat few days ago and
went to the beach to hunt turtle. They
came back with four of them weighing
about three hundred pounds each, and
with two bushels of eggs. The turtles
crawl out of the ocean at night to de-
post their eggs in the sand. They dig
hole, lay their eggs, then back they
go into the sea. Harold went along
and he thought it fine fun. The meat
of the turtle can compare favOrably
with good tender beef and the eggs are
eaten and used as one would hens eggs.
We have fine lot of watermelons for
our own use and some for market.
They bring here from % to 80 cents
each. They grow very large, some
weighing GO and 20 pounds. We feel
the hard times some, as business is
almost at standstill here and the rail
roads have discharged about one-half
their force, also cut ten per cent on
wages. You will find one dollar en-
closed in this to renew my paper and
don't fail to send it along every week
as ! look for it as much as | do my
meals. Any one reading this and
wishing to avoid the cold winters of
Michigan had better come to Indian
RIVER, Fla, where You will find good
healthy climate and plenty of ducks
to shoot, with fish and good vegetables
and fruit for the table.
Yours Respectfully,
j. G. HART.
