THE CASE OF BIGAMIST
M'DONALD TO BE TRIED
Next Monday at Canton Sheriff Me-
kee Believes He VIII be Convicted
of Having a Multiplicity Of Wives.
Jackson clarion-Ledger.

Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
Sheriff S. T. Mckee, of Madi-
son county, was visitor at the
capital last night. He states that
the case against Mcdonald, the
celebrated bigamist, will be one of
the first taken up when the crimi-
nal dockets is reached at The ses-
sion of the circuit court which
convenes next Monday with Judge
Powell presiding.
81 have no doubt that McDon-
aid will be convicted" said Sher-
iff Mckee, last night. "The evil
dence against him rs positiN Q, and
we have the various marriage Ii
censes to show that he had more
than one wife. He gave a long
chase, and eluded his persuers
with much ingenuity. During his
incarceration he gave little or no
trouble until a few days ago when
he attempted to escape from Jail,
together with negro who is held
on the charge Of murder, and they
were almost successful. The plan
was frustrated, however, and Nc
Donald is now being kept secure
ly locked up.
A few days ago, according to
evidence that has been secured,
Mcdonald forged letter, signing
the name of the jaiIer to the epis-
tie. Our jailer is "a negro and he
can neither read nor write. 1t is
probable that the grand jury will
also indict him on this charge, but
the blgamy case will be tried first. "

The First Steamship TO Enter This
Port.

The First Steamship TO Enter This
Gulfport, Nov. 1.-THE first
steamship to enter Gulfport en-.
tered Saturday, the Norwegian
steamship Hirundo, from Liver.
pool. She is 1925 feet in length,
has a tonnage Of 1,342, and viii
carry a million and half feet OF
lumber. She will be loaded by
the L. N. Dantzler Lumber com.
pany for Buenos Ayres. The Hi
rundo came under her own steam,
with Captain Bugge in charge.
Captain Ohlsou, of the steamer,
said he was very much surprised
to find Gulfport open to vessels
of her class, and said that he ex-
pected to see Gulfport one Of the
leading ports of the South in a
very short time, and that the
docks for loading we're above the
average.
lHe DfiJlSn STEAMER AufeOia,
Godfrey master, will arrive from
Copenhagen next Thursday, and
will be loaded by the HI. Weston
Lumber company, of Logtown,
Miss, for London, England. Her
tonnage is 1908, and she will car
nv nearly two million feet of lum-
ber.
Arrangements are made to bring
barges of lumber from Moss Point
on one side and from Pearl river
on the other. 1t is as near Gulf
port from either Of these points
as it is to Ship Island, and the
loading facilities being much bet
ter, it makes it advantageous to
bring the vessels TO sGulfport to
load. While several very large
sailing vessels have loaded at this
port, the steamer arriving Satur-
day is the first of this class of yes-
sells tJ enter. .

OUR pINHy WOODS SOIL.

Lumberton Headblock:Tho best
proof obtainable thattbe soil here
in this piney woods country will
produce - and produce usually
WELLS in the fact that it has al
ready done SO. We have heard
people deploring in advance the
condition of this country when
the pine timber is cut off and the
saw mills are compelled to 90 out
of business. They would have us
believe that it will be barren
waste and almost worthless. We
give below few facts and figures
showing what Mr.. d. G. Camp,
one OF our most progressive citi-
gems, has done this year on his
farm.
Mr.. Camp planted IA acres of
cotton. He gathered IL bales,
weighing on an average 522 pounds
to the bale. Eighteen acres
planted in corn yielded him 25C
bushels. From I acres of sweet
potatoes he gathered about seven
hundred bushels, or 100 bushels
per acre. Besides this Mr.. Camp
gathered rs tons of peavine hay,
4 tons of sorgum, cane hay, and a
large crop of peanuts, watermel.
ons, canteloupes, etc. Mr.. Camp
says his crop was made under diff.
ficulties this year and does not
consider it fair test of what this
piney woods land will do. lie
had not farmed any in rs years
and bad almost lost the art of
tilling the soil, and coming here
from Georgia, he was not, oil
course, familiar with the methods
of farming in this country. Along
this line we will also mention that
Mr.. j. E. King had one acre
planted IN sugar cane on his farm
one mile west of Lumberton, from
which he informs us, he made 40C
gallons of syrup. These facta Ger.
tainly show thatthe piney woods
dirt, solong regarded as a waste
on the face of the earth aside from
being rich with timber, can also
be made one of the most produc.
tive farming sections in the State.

A Consistent Halter.

Mateo Renato 1mbriani, the 1tal-
ian politician, who died a few weeks
ago, was noted, among other things,
for his rabid chauvinism. He hated
particularly the Austrans and Ger
mans. When he was editor of the
Pro Patria, the news editor one
morning got telegram that Rich
ard Wagner had died in Venice. He
forthwith took the speaking tube
and informed Imbriani. The reply
was a volley of abuse, in which he
made out a few words like: "Cana-
glia, musica italiana. Tedesco. La
morte. lgnominia. II nostro Bel
lini! MiSerabili!
The news editor ventured to sug-
gest that, all the same, daily pa
per was obliged to take some note of
happenings in the world of art.

swer, and not word was printed

SNOW-CAPRON WEDDING.
THE GLACIERS ARE GOING.

According to Professor Forel,
who has made special study of the
Alpine glaciers during the past
twenty-five years, the day of the
glacier is gone. They are deterio-
rating slowly, but with steady per-
slstence, and diminution becomes
more marked from year to year,
There is on y one exception to this
rule--that of Bowler, in the valley
of Entrcmont, which since 1892 has
shown continuous growth. The ia
nous glaciers Of the Rhone have
shrunk 155 meters since 1874, or
an average of twenty-nine meters a
year, Many have so changed dur
ing the past few years that old tour
lists after few seasons of absence
have failed to recognize them,
Some hotels once standing in the
immediate proximity of glaciers are
now at considerable distance from
them, to the serious loss of the pro-
prietors. Pail Mall Gazette.
