a WAGON FERRY.

The present importance, as well as the
future developement Of South Aberdeen,
seems 10 demand better facilities Tor
crossing the Chel ais river. Facilities
that will acco noiate the travel OF horses
and wagons, and permit the mills OF the
south side to put their product. includ-
ing wood, into the city proper on as
nearly equal terms as those on this side
Of the river, as well as to allow the
quick crossing OF delivery and dray
teams.
Ii is 10 be feared that TO wal: until the
city IS in financial position 10 build a
bridge will defer a most needed convent
ence ior so long as TO seriously interfere
with the manufacturing industries al
ready in South Aberdeen, and operate
against the establishment OF others. In
view OF these conditions, il would pay to
build side-wheel steam ferry boat, large
enough 10 carry two teams and wagons,
which, We are informed, can be built
for 5000 and operated as cheaply
as could a draw bridge, with the sole
exception OF the cost OF fuel, and il is
reasonable 10 believe that ii the city
would operate such a ferry free, the
south Aberdeen mills could be relied
upon TO make the item OF fuel very
small one Tor term OF years.

Qu!tea sensation was created at the
Gulf and Ship Island depot and man
named Ferris came near losing his life
last night.
Some time in the evening this man
Ferris, " 40 is railroad mar and came
here to take charge of the switch engine
e that road. went 10 TIE residence Of
J. w. Erookshire lard ASKED Mrs.
BrookShire. whom he found alone, If
she had :. room to reut. She told him
she did not, but thu man, who eemed
70 be somewhat under the Influence OF
whjskey, insisted that she had and in
quite plain words told her that he
doubted her word. In tie meal time he
pushed along into Der room when she
was foi ced to leave it to keep him fro III
putting his hands on her. Finally he
left when Mrs, Brookshire reported the
matter to her husband who keeps a gro
Gerry stand on the corner of Front and
Custonhouse streets. She gave him a
full description of the man.
Later Mr. Brookshire secured a pistol
and went out Cooking for human game
About eight o'clock he succeeded iu
finding the man sitting on the platform
of the Gulf and Ship IslaEd depot with
several other railroad men. To be GER
tain that he had the right ran Mr.,
Bro0kshire went 10 some Of the other
railroad men and asked who was tha
man sitting at certain place. He was
informed, when he WALKED up TO him,
aEd pulling his pistol ard placing it in
the mans face pulled the trigger The
cartridge failed TO explode an Ferris
began to look for shelter, but at the
next attempt to fire the pistol rang out

powder Burned his face.

pistol would snap, but not a cartridge
would explode, and thus the mans life
was saved
Mr.. Brookshire was Immediately
arrested by Officer McNair. but let out
soon thereafter on boHd to appear for
trial in day or two.
1t is very probable that the next time
Mr.. Brookshire goes cunning for man
he will not take along a two bits pistol,
but ore that will shoot at least two
times out Of FIVE trials.
MIR. Brookshire and family have lived
ia Hattiesturg for two or three years
and have made good ciIizens. He was
