He Wanted a SOrnniI.

The president of a manufacture
ing firm in Chicago has two let
ters from a man in Michigan.
The first set forth that the wri-
ter had settled upon a piece of
land that had "rite smart pin
timbur on it," that his neigh bors,
with the exception of ''sum french
Canucks at the mort end of the
lax" had also ''rite smart" of
timber, and would hail the advent
of a "sormil" with delight. "HoW
mulch would smol sormil cost?
n. B. if a frenchman name Ike
LamOrto rits you to ask about
this hese no gud and a ded beat
of the first water" The firm
wrote back to inform their cor
respondent that a saWmill such
as he seemed to want would cost
about $500. A catalogue was en-
closed, which would give an idea
of the plant, and the firm hoped
to be favored with his order.
The firm had no idea that its let
ter would give serious ofense.
There was no doubt, however,
that the Michigan man was quite
annoyed. He wrote: "You must
take me for - fool. If had
three hundred dollars what in
wud I wont a sormil for?"

he Deed Of a Black
Fiend.

On last Saturday afternoon as
little Christina Winterstein, the
thirteen year old daughter of
respectable farmer living near
Biloxi, was returning home from
school she was assaulted and
murdered and her body dragged
into the woods near the roadside.
The citizens and officers are leaV-
ing no stones unturned to appre-
bend the guilty party and when
he is found and the crime fasten-
ed upon him, short work will be
made of him by those who are
waiting and anxious to ayenge
the horrible crime. Several ne
groes have been arrested and ex-
amined and two or three are yet
being held for further investiga-
ton, against whom there is said
to be very strong evidence. The
action of the citizens so far, is
commendable, for they are act
ing with cool judgment in the
matter, which greatly aids the
authorities in finding the guilty
party, While they are deter
mined to mete out justice to him
when found, they have restrained
themselves from any acts Of VIC
1ence on uncertain evidence. We
expect a lynching has occurred by
this time, as the trail was getting
very warm when we went to
press.

Blood Hounds.

Every day or two the daily pa
pers report some atrocious crime
committed and in many cases the
criminal escapes because there are
no blood hounds available with
which to trail him down. The re-
cent robbery and shooting at
Purvis and the horrible tragedy
at Biloxi and the inability Of the
officers to secure dogs in time to
catch the criminals, brings to
mind the Importance Of each
county making preparations for
emergencies of that kind
by purchasing pair of good
blood hounds. The capture OF
one brute, like the one who out
ragged and murdered the little
Biloxi girl would pay for a dozen
blood hounds, and as for that, the
citizens of that community would
put up the price OF hundred
blood hounds for the capture OF
this one black fiend. If the board
of supervisors do not care to take
the responsibility upon them
selves to purchase a pair of dogs
without an expression from the
people, the taxpayers should be
given a chance to express them
selves on the subject at the next
election, and we believe if this
was done the question would be
carried by a large majority. If
it was known publicly that this
county owned a pair of good dogs
the fact alone would have a tend
ency to turn the murderer, rob-
Der and rapist in another direc-
ton, Tor this COWafdly class OF
individuals have perfect horror
of being chased by dogs. If the
county will not make such a pur-
chase it would be good invest
ment for private parties to get a
couple and keep on hand just
for the purpose of taking in a
handsome reward now and then.
We have heretofore advocated the
purchase of blood hounds and to
show our faith in the matter we
will invest a little cash in any
kind of movement to secure a
couple of good trained dogs.

A New Mississippi
Road.

Among the railroad men in the
city yesterday was Mr.. A, d,
Adkisson, who is a leading con-
tractor, having in charge just at
present a contract for work on
one of the growing lines in Mis-
sIssippi, the Colum bia, Lum ber-
ton and Gulf Road. Mr.. Adkis-
son is expecting to leave Monday
morning for Lum berton with a
large force of men to begin oper-
alton.
Mr.. Addison says that Messrs.
Camp and Hinton, large lumber
dealers and capitalists of Lum-
berton, will have greater
portion of the work of construc-
ton in their hands, and that his
contract is under the control of
this firm.
"Messrs. Camp, Hinton &Co., said
Mr.. ADHESION, ARE doing great
deal to develop that section,
They are Fastening forward the
construction work of the road,
and are anxious to get all the
men they can for the job. will
be able to take party of some
forty or fifty out probably to be-
gin work next week. There is a
good chance for labor there. It
is fine, healthful, pine country,
thus offering extra inducements
to laborers. This new road will,
I understand, become part of the
Gulf and Ship Island line.
Mr.. Adkisson is well-known
among the railroad fraternity,
and he is justly popular.

Post Office Robbed.

On Monday night of last week
the postoffice at Purvis was bro
ken open and robbed of 10000 III
cash and about $4,000 in postage
stamps, also the money order
book. On the same night the
safe of w. a. Carraway was
blown open and $4,000 in cash
stolen. The next day man was
arrested who gave his name as
Peter Casvano and claimed to be
from Tangipahoa parish, La,
and locked up in Jail. Guards
we're placed around the jail and
on Tuesday night a suspicious
person was seen to come and get
something from under the court
house and Ohio Huddleston and
Al McLendon, two of the guards,
Immediately effected his arrest.
They covered him with their
guns and searched him but failed
to find any weapon, though they
recovered from HIM two packages
which turned out later to be the
stamps taken from the postoffice,
When McLendon s attention was
turned to some one passing by
the rObber sprung upon him and
seized the barrel of his shotgun
and commenced firing at him
with pistol. One bullet struck
McLendon in the thigh and one
in the shoulder, and then he ran
off, making good his escape. Nc
Lendon fired at the robber sev-
eral times as he ran off but could
not tell whether he hit him or
not. Officers Hathorne and Cain
brought Casvano here Friday
evening for safekeeping in the
county jail that night and return
ed him to Purvis Saturday where
he was given preliminary trial
and bound over to the Federal
court. The officers are in pos
session of damaging evidence
against him and it is thought
there are several implicated in
the robbery. The Federal au-
thorities are at work on the case
and it is probable that the whole
gang will be caught. McLendon,
the guard who was wounded, is
getting along nicely and will re-
cover.

Democratic State Con,
VentiOn.

The democratic State Conven-
ton held at Jackson Tuesday put
out a list of candidates to be voted
for at the primaries as representa-
tives of the State in the National
convention. The action of the
Convention was entirely in har-
mony with democratic principles
and the enunciations made in the
set of resolutions passed will
have the approval of democrats
all over the State. The meeting
was harmonious throughout and
the proceedings were actuated by
pure democratic motives. The
resolutions passed bitterly con-
demned the action of the state
executive committee in refusing
to call convention of democrats
for an open expression of the
party, for the refusal to recon-
vene the committee to remedy
the mistake and for the commit
tees refusal to provide for its

fed to enter upon the practice OF

with the writer prior to his enter
ance to the New Orleans College,
he stated that he might possibly
locate in Poplarville after he fin

that he has not given up the idea.

PROTECT THE DoMINION's
TREES
MOST RECKLESS DESTRUCTION
Government Wakes Up to the Fact,
ana Ontario Starts System of
Pine Reserves-Quebec's
Reservation.

/ MONTREAL, April 14.-In no country
has there been a more reckless destruc-
/ ton of forest wealth than in Canada. The
one idea of lumberman and farmer alike
was to strip the land of all trees with the
Yeast possible delay. For the lumberman
there was some reason in this. for 1t
brought him immediate wealth. at the ex-
pense of his posterity. but the destruo
ton of the hardwood forests by the farm
ers was as unreasoning as it was COM
plete, SO thorough was 1t that in some
counties in Ontario. once heavily wood
ed the area Of woodland Is now only 8
per cent. Farm houses stand in a bare
eXpanse, with not a tree In sight; for not
even their obvious use as a protection
against the fierce midsummer sun was
able TO save a few trees from the univer-
sal destruction. They all went indiscrim-
snately to the logging heap, to be reduced
to ashes. OF late years the folly of this
wastefulness has been coming hime to
the people, and a result Of this eleventh
hour repentance has been the organiza-
ton by the various governments Of means
designed to prevent further mischief of
this nature and to repair to some extent
the ravages of the past. For some years
there has been a bureau Of forestry In
connection with the. department of
crown lands in Ontario which has been
the pioneer in this movement in Canada,
and the other provinces are also display
5ng some interest in the matter Most
