Thomas place, west of town, and
tell in such way that both bones
of one of his legs were broken. 1t is
very bad fracture, both bones
sticking through the flesh. It is yet
too early to determine the outcome,
but it is probable that the limb will
have to be amputated, if nothing
more serious should intervene. This
is very serious blow to Mr.. Van

necessary length of time before he
recovers.-Adair News.

Ihe surveyors who are running a
survey between this place and Pa
nora have reached this place. The
report is that it is to be trolly line.
A reporter visited the engineer who
SAID that he was engaged to run
line from Panora to Harlan for the
purpose of determining the practi-
cability of trolly line between the
two points. He thought the great
est difficulty to overcome in the
whole route was between here and
Panora. The great difficulty is to
get down to this town from the
divide by the cemetery, but they
hoped to land near the Rock Island
depot. From here west the route
will be up Seeley creek, thence over
the divide to Audubon. We were
informed that if a route could be
found with grades that could be
overcome and through a section
that would appreciate the line that
the construction of the line would
be begun at once. The management
say that this line will get business
ana be a money maker from the
start. 1t will do this as feeder for
the various steam roads which now
touch the towns through which
1t expects to pass. At Harlan and
Audubon it would have connection
with both the Rock Island and the
Northwestern and probably with
the Chicago and Great Western be-
tween those two points. At this
place they would again have the
Rock Island and at Panora the Mil
waukee. While the situation is most
favorable for the success of road
If once established the topography
OF the route may be such as to pre-
clude the possibility of the road at
this time. The advantages of this
road if built cannot be estimated to
the towns and the country through
which 1t passes as it accommodates
the country and becomes feeder
to the towns.-Guthrian.

Especial Correspondence Of the Times.)
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 23rd. 1902 :
The Legislative proceedings
This week, have been important
and eventful in many respects.
Tuesday the House considered
the Senate concurrent resolution
to take additional testimony in
the Penitentiary scandal, which
it is said by those behind the
scenes, will be of a highly start
ling and sensational character,
involving some Of the most prom
inent men in the State, and ex-
posing several men of official
position to impeachment pro-
ceedings.
This PenitentIary and State
Farm rottenness, corruption, and
inquity, emphasizes the prone
ness of men to abuse power,
especially when it affords an
opportunity to raid the public
treasury" and despoil the people
of their substance and fair name.
The people should remember
that politicians always have been
and always will be. ''out for the
stuff" and whenever given ex-
cessive trust and sentiment and
personalism, the people will pay
dearly for being their dupes.
This is true of County affairs, as
It is of State and national, and
the people should be ever mind
full of the experienced truths
announced above The tendency
to public corruption is almost
universal, and argues a low
social standard. for as the soci-
ety is. 90 will be the government
and If the government is corrupt,
then it's social basis must be like
wise so.

Prohibition Don't
Prohibit.

J. w. Buchanan, Editor of the
Grenada Sentinel in an interview
in Jackson said. "Several years
ago strongly advocated prohi.
bition in my county, which we
carried by an overwhelming
majority, but I now admit that
local option is a dismal failure.
In my OWE and other towns tig.
ers make high license absolutely
respectable. A change is imper-
alive, because the present local
option in force in most of the
towns makes perjurers and liars
not oaly out of a great many OF
the young, but even the older
men. While the ladies who are
supporting state prohibition are
honest and sincere in the matter,
1 can see but little remedy in it,
as whiskey would pour in from
New Orleans, Memphis and
elsewhere, and the blind tigers
would continue their nefarous
work. I believe in prohibition
when it will prohibit"
"Hattiesburg Citizen: As for
Hattiesburg, she might as well
have whiskey sold decently as
the way it is sold. There are
barrels sold here every day, and
our officers are as vigilant as any
in the United States, and are
powerless under the present law
to stop it. The question now
regarding the sale of whiskey in
the state is a serious one, and
we hope our present Legislature
will weigh the matter carefully
before enacting more law, one
way or the other.''
The solution is high license
like we have in Canton. Yor
never hear Of any trouble from
whiskey here except when Z
fellow comes here from q dry
town. People will have whiskey
and it is best for il to be regula
ted BY law.

1t has only been D few years
since when the lint was the only
part considered of any value by
the cotton planter. But condi-
tions have greatly changed now,
and cottonseed is considered one
Of the best crops Of the South,
forming az it does, alarge volume
Of business for the South, and 1t
continues to grow in importance
from year to year. While this in
a commercial point of view is q
great help to the cotton planter,
vet this like all other sweets has
it's bitter, in many cases it is
robbing Peter to pay Paul; as q
large proportion of those that
sell their seed fail to replace the
plant food in their soils that the
cottonseed contains? Those that
pursue this robbing process will
soon find their soils exhausted,
while those that exchange for
cottonseed meal or commercial
fertilizers will by rotation OF
crops and planting largely OF
cowpeas gradually improve his
soil because more Is returned
than is sold in the cottonseed.
It requires but very small prop
ortion Of the soils fertility to
produce the lint, but it requires
much fertility to produce the
seed and stalks, and consequent
" if the seed and stalks are re-
turned for another crop, the soil
has lost but little, excepting con-
siderable vegetable matter pro-
viding the soil has not washed
or leached.
It is folly for farmer to sell
his seed even at fifteen or eigh-
teen dollars per ton from year to
year and expect his farm to con.
tinue productive without he does
replace the damage.
The greatest drawback with
the majority Of the cotton plant.
ers is that they try to sell just
as much from what their farms
have produced as possible with
out restoring what has been
taken. To improve his soil
should be his object by fertilizing
better, deeper blowing, better
cultivation and planting largely
of peas.-W. B. F. Lewis, in Elk.

southeaSterly more than quarter of
a mile which are easily seen under
water by gunnerS and fishermen and
which are a continuation of the rocks
leading from the point; so it is I'M
doubtedly a fact that the bluff, gen
erations before the settlement of the
town, in 1888, was more than half
mile in length from the westerly side
where it's rising commences to the
easterly point.
Tradition-handed down through
seven generations Of the writer's an
cestors, and to them through many
generations Of Indians@says that
Bears Head and all the upland run
ming westerly a mile or more to East
mans Point, southwesterly, to the Oil
yer Nudd farm, was covered with
wood There is still a deed taking in
part of the Nudd farm and written
nearfy@20 years ago, which calls the
land the Nut Trees.
So there is no doubt that Bears
Head was covered with woods, making
1t the wooded point with it's bays,
and "the distance small between the
forest and the sea-" and the strand
full of white sand.
Nowhere is no other landing place
as described by the Norsemen in their
voyages to Vineland which answers
this description as well as do Hamp-
ton shores. But that description is not
all, for we have the crosses cut on the
stone many generations before the
settlement of the town by the white
man-crosses made not by the Indians,
but by some one who knew and be-
lieved in the Christian religion.
A certain field near the narrow
marsh and beach on the main road up
town contains the rock on which are
cut the three crosses designating the
grave where was buried Thorwald
Eric in the year A. D. 1904. That
field with others adjoining, came into
the possession of the writer's ances-
tors over 23O years ago, and that part
of the field which contains the rock
has been under tillage and subject to
the plow for over $50 years.,
The rock is large granite stone
lying in the earth, it's face near the
top of the ground, with two crosses
cut thereon and other marks cut by
the hand of man with a stone chisel,
and not by any owner, from the ORR
ginal proprietor, who took possession
ESQ years ago, down to the present
owners.
.They came to a head land that jut-
| ted out that was all covered with
wood, and there were bays on either
side and the strand that was covered
with white sand, and the distance
small from the forest to the sea-"
How true is the description! for
| there are the head land and the bays
on either side, the long sandy beaches,
and the land which contained the
| woods mot far from the sea- There
| is also the rock with the cut crosses
made by man 900 years ago. That

Coal Operators in the Wyoming Region
Take Step Toward Resumption
President of One of the Companies
Appealed to on Ground Of Christian
ity and Replies in Kind.

WII4KESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 20.-The
coal operators of the Wyoming region
took step forward today. The Warnke
washery at Duryea, under a strong
guard, was kept in operation all day
and the Maltby breaker of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company prepared a lot
of goal, which had already been mined,
for the market.
At strike headquarters it is main
tanned that the output of coal at the
washery was very small and that fifty
or sixty special officers were required
to protect the few men employed az
the place. Nothing was known at
strike headquarters about the Lehigh
Valley Coal company running coal
through their breaker
The strike leaders here think that J.
Pierpont Morgan will consent to a con-
ference of some kind with President
Mitchell and that the strike will be
over by the 1st of September.
From Religious Standpoint.
w. F. Clark, photographer of this
city, recently addressed a letter to
President Baer, of the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad company, appealing
" Hill DIS d TO settle the
miners strike. The writer said if
Christ was taken more into our bust
ness affairs there would be less trouble
in the world, and that If Mr.. Baer
granted the strikers q slight conces-
sion they would gladly return to work
and the president of the PHILADELPHIA
& Reading Railroad company would
have the blessing of God and the re-
spect of the nation.
President Baer replied:
Il see you are evidently biased in
your religious views in favor of the
right of the workingmen to control a
business in which he has no other in
terest than to secure fair wages for the
work he does. I beg of you not to be

Tim Floods Great Catch.

Tim Flood, the ST. Louis boy with
Brooklyn, looks like a conner. Floods weak
point SO far has been his batting but he
shows flashes of the real article in this
line occasionally, and should wallop the
ball hard next season. Flood has a good
position at the bat, and all the earmarkS
of a first-class stick artist but for some
reason he has not been very successful
in getting "safeties'' so far One exception
to this rule was in the recent series be-
tween. Brooklyn and Cincinnati and the
work on that occasion: Tim Flood, sec
ond baseman of the Brooklyn team, wiped
his slate clean of all bad marks and placed
himself at the ton of the eligible list Of
baseball heroes. 1t was a day of sensa-
lions for Sir Timothy. He made an error
on difficult play in the first inning that
gave the Cincinnatis the only run of the
game. Then he made a base hit OPP his
initial appearance at the bat, a feat that
caused the crowd to gasp with surprise,
for base hits and Flood have been strang-
erS of late. When Flood made another
single on his second appearance the fans
cheered, but they went into ecstacies over
Beckley off his feet and brought Farrell
across the plate with a run that put the
Superbas on Easy street Tim, with the
skill of high tragedian saved the climax
for the curtain fall The Reds began the
ninth inning with the score 8 to 1 against
them and desperation standing out in large
chunks on the determined visages Of Capt:
Kelley and his pets. Steinfeldt led off
promiSingly with sharp tap to the right
field for base, and Maloney, fieeter of
foot, was sent in to run for him. Poole
caused a temporary halt in the expected
rally by striking out, but Bergen, who had
hit the ball hard previously, was expected
ed on the ball with a clout that caused
cold cbilIs to run up the backs of the fans,
as they saw the ball sailing on line for
the fence midway between Dolan and
Keller Many were selecting the exacts spot
where the sphere would land. when husky
arm shot out. Flood grasped the hurting
sphere and shot it to McCreery for a
double play 1t was marvellous catch the
kind that is ticketed 'once in a season.
and coming at the finish of the game, it
took away the breath of the crowd. 1t is
needless to say that Floods march to the
clubhouse was one of triumph. On the
other hand, the Reds looked as if they had
been assaulted and robbed Kelley muir

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 20.-The Min
nesota Editorial association, after de-
voting today to a tour of some of the
mines on the Mesaba range, left to-
night for st. Paul. The members took
a firm stand on behalf of the estab-
lishment of a school of mines in Min
nesota.
Resolutions were adopted stating
that, in view of the fact that Mime
sofa is rapidly forging to the front as
one Of the great manufacturing states
of the Union and with it's port at the
head of the lakes, now leads the world
in tonnage commerce and that the iron
mines are yielding handsome revenues
to the state treasury in the form OF
taxes and thereby contributing largely
to the support of all the state educa-
tional institutions, the association de-
sired to be placed on record as favor
ing a sufficient appropriation by the
legislature for the establishment of a
mining school for the education of the
young men DESTROYS of entering the
rapidly developing field of mining and
engineering.
