There is hardly a day that pass
es but what we read In the papers
of parties from Illinois ndl(ndians
land seekers headed for the Mis-
sissippi Delta to secure tracts OF
It's fertile and cheap lands. The
result of these investigations will
be that in a few years the com.
plete transfer of ownership OF
these lands will be made to the
Northern farmers and capital
lists, who will at once raise
the price like their lands are
today, out of the reach of
the Southern boys for girls. 1t
is tine that our own Southern
people are awakening to the reali-
zq'ion of their duty, if not to self
t, hat of their children whose des-
TIMES they hold in their hands, and
as far as circumstances will allow
by purchasing these cheap lands
and hold them for their children.
1t may be by sacrificial efforts but
it is nothing of extraordinary no.
bleness to make sacrifice to save
the heritage for the coming gen
srations of our people.

The Press Association of Missis-
sippi is an honor to the state.
Every newspaper publisher should
be q member and stop hanging on
the fence, jumping on the boys on
the inside when they are as much
to blame for the way the thing is
run as those who run it if they
don't pay the intrance fee and get
in. Every newspaper in the state
should have Representative at the
New Orleans meeting,next year.

DEADLY PUMP GUNS.
An illustration of the EHee".i"- "
Came Done with One OF
Them.

No shotgun shoots further ana naru-
err or makes better pattern than the
closely choked pump" guns mace "
several American firms. These instru-
ments carry five shells in the magaZins
and one in the barrel and are "orAeu
like repeating rifles. .A
They are cheap and therefore WIN
in reach of almost any pot hunter
Any one of them is game extermln-
ator in the hands of the constituencies
and held by an expert is terrinc
agaist ducks, prairie chickens or quail
A fast man will get four shots, some
times five or six, into bevy OF rising
quail or covey of chickens, and II ne
holds on will spread death Tar anc
wide. The gun is unfair to the pirus
and unfair to companion shooters ouV
is much used.
Living in northern Louisiana Is q
gentleman sportsman named Skannel
John Skannel, says the New 1orh
Sun. He is man of wealth and knows
as much probably about dogs and guns
as any other man in America. In ad-
dition, he is o remarkable field shot
and, though in his forties, OF great
industry and endurance. j..
He saw a pump gun advertised ana
bought one to test It. He practiceo
with it, empty, until he got the hang
of it, then mounted his horse, whistleo
a brace Of pointers and rode down
lane, designing to call upon a neigh
boring planter and shoot through the
afternoon. The neighboring planter
tells the story, not Skannal:
1t was early autumn, the grass and
weeds. were rank. the sun was hot, the
dogs worked badly and they quit the
quail pursuit after half an hour, hav-
ing bagged nothing. Riding down
dusty road they came to an unculti-
waited field on the left.
Twenty yards from the road, in the
field, was a dead pine tree, almost
limbless, q tree which had been dead
for years and was waiting for a half
gale to knock It down. On jutting
stump of limb near its top four doves
were sitting. Skannal swung himself
from the saddle with the remark:
"I'll try the new gun on them"
The dove is one of the swiftest OF
small American birds. In full fight
it is faster than the quail or jacksnipe.
With the height of the pine included,
the rise was about 30 yards.
Skannal killed one dove on the limb,
one ten feet from the limb and
dropped the other two. The last bird
was hit when not more than so yards
if so much.
1t was brilliant shooting. Also It
went some way toward explaining
why the American game supply is
diminishing. The pump gun in its va
rious forms as turned out by various
makers is a strong contributory cause.

The dlsgracefulscenes that were
enacted on the Vicksburg diamond
last Thursday should make the
ladies and gentlemen of that city
who attended these games blush
with shame. Admitting the truth,
that nmplre Ruth gave wrong de-
cisions it does not justify the
hoodlum rooter taking up the
rightiDg of them and before the
park. management should all W it
they should have by police force
every one put out of the park or
sent to Jail. The fact is if it is not
stopped it will not only break up
base ball in the league but it will
cause murder. And no clubs vic
tory or defeat is SO important that
1t will justifynthis. The finger Of
shame is pointed to the people,
press aud police of any city who
will allow such disgraceful acts to
go UNPUBLISHED. Greenville has
rooters but we can assure you
that your team will find they are
a lot of gentlemen and if yuo win
by mistakes of umpire or good
they will not turn into a
bowling mob and offer to do bodily
harm or disgraceful acts to your
men or umpire.
