RECENTLY FILED IN THE GOV.
ERNMENT LAND OFFICE
SOME VALUABLE LANDS
IN CONTROVERSY.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 5-Several no.
tices OF contest have recently been
filed in the government land Office in
this city, and some of the lands in
controversy arequite valuable, which
indicates some spirited litigation to
follow in the Federal courts. The
"Choctaw Orphan Reserve" seems to
be the chief cause OF trouble. A
clause providing for the immediate
entry of lands under this reserve was
tackled on to the Indian appropriation
bill at the last session of Congress,
and it promises to give no end of
trouble to landowners in the State who
have fancied themselves secure in
realty possessions that in many in.
stances have been held undisputed
since the war.

THE CALLED-IN BONDS.

ING. A HATTIEsBURG MAN HAS
ABOUT $4,000 ON HAND.

Jackson Miss. Aug Sit is the
State Treasury that ss2, 800 Of the 500,
900 issue OF bonds recently called In
by the Governor for payment are yet
outstanding, and it seems that the
present owners Of these bonds are
possessed with the idea that the Gov
ernor's call was unconstitutional, and
that they will secure the interest
on the remaining five year option This
view is strengthened by the fact that
it Is known where the remainder Of
the bonds are being held, and their
owners are we'll aware that the call
for redemption has been issued. One
prominent capitalist in Jackson is
holding a portion OF the issue and a
Hattiesburg man has about $50, 700 on

SHOCKS PUBLIC DECENCY.

In the DEMoCRAT-STAR of July 10th
we stated that the friends of T. Dab.
ney Marshall, who has just been par.
doned by Governor Longino, after i've
years imprisonment in the State peni.
tentiary for the murder Of Dinkins
were talking about bringing him out
for State Senator, but we hoped they
would desist for Mr.. Marshall's sake,
for il he has any refinement of feeling
he will shrink from coming before the
public at this time. But we are in.
deed sorry that MIR. Marshall has
yielded to the influence OF his Warren
county friends and is now a full.nedg.
ed candidate.
The following from the Clarion.
Ledger reflects our sentiments, and we
hope the good people Of Warren county
will set down on Marshall at the
special election:

timed, out OF place and shocks public
decency Marshall should be satisfied
that he got out of the penitentiary,
and not permit his friends to push
him forward for office, thereby subject
ing himself, the Governor and ali who
worked to secure his pardon, to severe
criticism. Considering the ordeal
through which he passed and the
trouble he had in securing pardon, he
should be content to remain a private
citizen for at least decent time. un.

SPECIFIC FOR YELLOW FEVER.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Acting Assis.
tant Surgeon Hodgson Of the Marine
Hospital Service believes he has dis.
covered valuable remedy to be used
In yellow fever cases. DR.. HOdgs0n
has been stationed at Progresso, Mexi.
co, for two years and has made q
thorougl examination Of yellow fever
cases there. In a letter to Surgeon
General Wyman of the Marine Hospi.
tai Service he calls attention to the
fact that while valuable work has

to, another insect almost as numerous
and certainly as pestiferous, may be
quite as active an agency In spreading
this diseases as the mosquito, has
been entirely overlooked, namely, the
cimex, or, as it Is popularity known the
bedbug. ''In the tropics" DR.. Hodg.
son says, "the bedbug "a all pervading
and his stealthy movements are more
liable to accomplish the desired end
than the buzzing mosquito.
Among the remedies used in Cen.
tral and South America as an antedote
for the stings OF insects and bites Of
snakes the seed or bean Of cedron has
been found to be specific. A tine.
ture is made from the grated or mash
ed seed and is also made into fluid
extract. l made tincture from the
bean and used it as an antedote for
the stings OF insects and the bite OF a
snake and found that the action was
almost immediate and the relief com.
p'ete. The antitoxic properties of
this remedy were so great that l
thought 1t might be of some benefit In
yellow fever, and had opportunities to
try it 10 several cases OF that disease,
and from the results concluded it is as
specific for yellow fever as Quinine is
for malaria"
DR.. HodgsOn says the cases he treat.
ed were in Costa Rica when he was
physician at Jiminez, and
while he kept no notes Of the cases,
every one treated with the tincture of
cedron recovered. 1t relieves the
headache stopped the nausea, and In
the cases where it was injected early
in the disease there was very little
congestion. He used the tincture by
injections OF about twenty
three times a day.
Dr. Sam H. HOdgsOn mentioned
above was formerly a resident Of Mo.
bile, and for more than a year practic.
ed his profession at Pascagoula and

The Southern Cultivator gives the
following method To destroy COCO or
nut grass:
Sow oats and follow with peas, con.
tinue this rotation for three or four
years. Have as dense growth as DOS.
sible. The continuous shading will
destroy the coco grass.
Another but more costly method "a
to keep the grass cut down with plows
and hoes SO closely and continuously
that no nuts can form. That will
mean twice week. After a few
weeks the growth will be very feeble.
II no new nuts are allowed TO form,
the grass will be intirely destroyed 10
Two yeafs. No new nuts can form
unless the top gets over three days
