fishing and having a good time gener-
ally. The party, composed Of Mrs.
Fabre and children, Misses Viola
French and Margaret Curry, Robert
E. Lee, Willie White, Arthur Walker,
Eugene Lee and several others. After
partaking Of a fish breakfast the
young people strolled down the beach
a few hundred yards from the camp
to 70 in bathing. The young ladies
donned bathing clothes and asked Lee
and Walker to come into the water
and learn them how tonswim. While
frolicking about in the water Arthur
Walker, Viola French and Margaret
Curry were drowned. This was Il re-
suit Of a Sunday picnic, and should be
a warning to Sunday picnicers!

SIXTH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL
RACE,

Before the DEMOCRAT-STAR reaches
its many readers Hon. w. +. Love
will be formally announced as the
regular nominee for Congress by the
Democratic party OF this district.
The Republicans and Populists have
each presented a candidate, the former
having selected Henry Clay Griffin as
their standard bearer, while the latter
are pinning their faith upon N. c.
Hathorn.
II all true and loyal Democrats will
do their duty Mr.. Loves election is
already assured, We believe he will
be triumphantly elected.
While this end OF the district had
favored our countyman, Hon. w. NJ.
Denny, yet for reasons already made
known, he is out OF the race, leaving
the field to Mr.. Love. The latter gen.
tleman has promised, IL elected, to
use his utmost efforts In advancing
the interests OF this portion OF the
district, and we trust that the united
Democracy will stand firmly by him,
and bring him out with flying colOrs.
No conscientious and true blue
Democrat can afford to vote for either
Of Mr.. Loves antagonists. Demo-
Gratis Of the sixth district, stick to
the JeffcrsOnian principles, and do
not allow yourselves to be persuaded
into following after false idols.

MOSS POINT.


New Orleans Lumber Trade Journal.
Four miles northeast OF Scranton,
situated at the confluence of Dog
and PascagGula rivers, both nayigable
streams, Is situated the town Of Moss
Point, n VI the greatest lumber
manufacturing points in the South.
The town has u population Of some
1000, and is beautifully located. 1t
has four white and two colored
churches, II mercantile houses, l mil.
llnery establishment, 2 s%hip-yards, 2
corn-mills, foundry and machine shop,
b~rlck-yards, public schools, a graded
high school. spoke and handle factory,
and several minor manufactures.
Here, also, Is located the kindling fac
tory Of the Hon. NJ. A. DeOs, which
that gentleman claims Is the finest
cOmbustle extant. However, he has
met with so little encouragement in
the sale Of the product Of his plant
that he Is not operating 1t at present.
The mills ut this point are the prin-
cipal feature and deserve special men,
ti0n.
The Moss Point Lumber C0mpany's
saw mill, dry kiln and planer have IA
capacity per day OF Is, ZOO feet: Lake
mills saw mill a capacity Of 40, 900 feet;
Platt 4 C0wan saw mill a capacity Of
$4,000 feet; w. Denny & Co., two saw
mills, dry kiln and planer, a capacity
Of 1870, 900 feet; Pascagoula Lumber
COmpany's saw mill. dry kiln and
planer, a capacity OF 100, 900 feet; l..
N. Dantalcr Lumber Company, two
saw mills, dry kilns and planer, a ca
pacity OF 200, 900 feet. ,
Thus It WILDE seen that the com.
bined capacity Of the Moss Point mills
Is $4,000 feet Of lumber per day. A
conservative estimate OF capital in
vested in the milling business at that
place Is $500 0 and the shipments
are principally to foreign ports. For
the six years ending October 81, 1895,
the following figures will prove Of In.

During that period l478 vessels were
