THREATENED THEIR LIVES
And With a Gun in His Hand
Ordered Them to Move on.

1t is stated that party of young
people went out short distance in
the country last night to eat sugar
cane. On their return and just as
they reached the front of the house of
a man named Burkett, the harness
broke and they stopped to make the
necessary repairs. While the work
was going on Burkett stepped from his
room in his night clothes and with a
gun in his hands ordered the crowd
to move on, saying if they did not he
would fill them full of buckshot.
If Mr.. Burkett had shot into that
crowd he would have been lynched be-
fore the rising of the next sun. 1t
should be remembered that the white
girls and boys who composed the
crowd have parents and friends who
will not stand to see them shot down
like dogs because they happened to be
on land belonging to some one else.
This is dangerous proceedings on the
part of Mr.. Burkett.

MOBILE TO HATTIESBURG.
Special Train Arrives With Repre-.
SentatiVeS of Mobile.

A special train of four coaches, en-
CINE No. 81, w. M. Rhodes conductor,
arrived in the city this afternoon at
l O'Clock with one hundred and six
passengers, representatives of business
firms of Mobile. 1t only took about
three minutes for the passengers to
emerge from the train and scatter
over the city.
Owing to a misunderstanding re-
garding the special there were not
many of our citizens present on
the arrival of the train. 1t was not
known whether it was a special given
for the pleasure and benefit of the
business men of Mobile or a regular
excursion. If the latter of course it
was not expected that the business
men of the city should meet it.
There were, however, a gOodly num-
Der of our business men who went
down to the train as soon as it came
in. There being no way of communi-
eating over the road by wire it was
not known the exact hour when the
train would arrive, and when it came
many of the business men of the city
were at dinner.
However, it was not long before
they took charge of the Mobile peo-
pie and showed them around the city
and otherwise made their trip as
agreeable as they could Mobile
already has warm place in the heart
of Hattiesburg and it will not be
long before the two cities will be as
thick as second cousins.

Millions of butterflies are eaten
every year by the Australian aborigi-
mes. The insects congregate in vast
quantities on the rocks of the Bugong
mountains, and the natives secure
them by kindling fires of damp wood
and thus suficating them. Then
they are gathered in baskets, baked,
sifted to remove the wings, and finally
pressed into cakes.

RECIPROCITY.

After the war taxes are all repeal
ed there will still remain a surplus OF
revenue estimated at $50. COOS 600 an

proposed only involves a reduction OF
one-fifth in the rates of duty. This
would result in some additional i'm
