Brick To Be Made from Beach Sand
Organizing Fruit and Truck Growers.
Gulfport, Nov.1t--A company has been
organized to establish plant in Gulf
port to manufacture q pressed sandstone
brick with the ordinary white sand that
can be found in abundance on the beach
Some of this sand was taken to Michigan
City, Ind, recently, where it was sub
jected to various tests and found highly
satisfactory. While the brick can be
manufactured as cheaply as the ordinary
red clay brick, it surpasses any other in
the market in appearance, and for dura-
bility 1t is said to have no equal. The
company capitalized at $50, 600, half OF
which has already been subscribed.
]. H. Bouslog, industrial agent for the
G,flf and Ship Island Railroad, is organ
izing fruit growing and truck farming
associations at every important point t
along the main line Of that road and its
branches. Two or three have already
been organized. Mr.. Bouslog states
that considerable interest is being taken
In the work, and that it is more than
probable that fruit canneries will be es-
tablished wherever organizations are per
fected.

HE is A GRAND OLD HERO.

( Roland b. Molineaux may, or may not,
be murderer. On that question opin-
ions, even now the trial is ended, may
differ. But there is one point prominent
IN that case, upon which all mems
minds and hearts must agree, and that is
that Gen. Edward L. Molineaux, the de-
fendant's faithful old father, is hero to
the core. It Is natural, of course, that a
father should stand by son through
good and evil report. But there are
some hearts that more than comply with
Natures ordinary laws, and this game
old mans is one of them. Roland Mo-
hneaux has been accused Of worse than
mere murder. In the method pursued in
that murder there was cowardice and
meanness contemplate beyond express
sion. Then there has been proof of
shameless moral degradation. His faith
er. on the other hand, is man of the
highest instincts and richest moral cuI-
ture, soldier OF truest bramery, hus-
band Of purest loyalty, friend with the
broadcast sympathy-in short thorough
gentleman in thevery best sense OF that
often loosely used term. For the sins
and the crime charged against his son he
must have the utmost sense OF repulsion
and horror. But for the son himself he
has only love. How deep and true that
love must be, which believing the char
ges, can forgive the fault, OF, not be-
lieving, can shut an open and just heart
against the cruel evidenced And he has
fought like very Trojan. Every re-
source at his command wealth, influ-
ence, friendship, and connections of
whatsoever sort, he has drafted into the
fight, and marshaled resistless force
that tore open the door of the death cell
itself. We see and hear so much of
mother love that we are apt to forget
sometimes that father, too, can love
with devotion almost divine. We think
better Of human nature after looking at
this grand old father.

Against the Illinois Central Railroad

The State Supreme Court Monday af-
tenoon affirmed the decision of the
Kinds county cnancery court in the ee-
lebrated back tax suit against the Illi-
nois Central road wherein the State re-
venue agent obtained judgmentagainst
the company for back ad valorem taxes,
interest and damages aggregating about
S70O, 900.
The opinion was one OF the lengthiest
ever handed down by the court and its
reading by Special Justice Cayce consul
med one and one half hours. The judg-
ment is clean victory for the revenue
agent, both on the law and the facts,
and the case will be immediately carried
10 the United States Supreme Court for
final decision. The taxes for which judg-
ment is secured are on the Louisiana,
New Orleans and Texas and Natchez,
jackson and Columbus branches of the
system, from 1886 to 1891 inclusive. The
case has been in litigation since 1894.

M'DONALD'S BOLD
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.
A Prisoner Exposed Plot Land Asked
for Pr ,tectIon - Extra Precautions
Taking by The Sheriff.

w. F. Mcdonald OF Pass Christian
and New Orleans, well know in this city
and all along the coast, and who has been
confined in the Madison county Jail at
Canton for the last three months, to
await the action Of the grand Jury on a
charge of bigamy, made a bold at
tempt Friday night to break jail. There
are ten prisoners in Jail awaiting the Mo-
vember term of circuit court, and more
than two weeks ago Mcdonald planned
to liberate himself and all the others.
For the last two weeks two negroes
who occupied a cell next to the outside
wall have been engaged in cutting hole
in the wall and secreted the brick in their
mattresses. The way was clear, Friday
night they were all TO get out and away.
One prisoner, however, refused all along
to go into the plot, and the others took
an oath to kill him II he told. This one
knew of their final arrangement to get
out, andhe sent for the sheriff and told
him OF the plot and asked for protection
against the other prisoners. The sheriff
has put new locks on the doors, and Nc
Donald now bids fair TO stay there as
loag as the authorities want him. The
instrument used in cutting out was a
case knife with the point broken off, and
was furnished to thenegroes by McDon-
aid, and the sheriff thinks the knife
was left with Mcdonald by some of the
parties who have been to see him in the
Jail. More than dozen threats have
been communicated to Mrs. Mcdonald,
OF New Orleans, that he would be libe-
rated, and this attempt is in line with
the threats.

court for this county was convened at
Mississippi City today by Judge j. H.
Neville. With the opening OF court
Judge Neville called for the jury list and
proceeded to draw the Grand Jury. Col.
A. Y. Harper gave notice he would

and before being sworn.
The jury was called to the box, when
Col. Harper moved it be quashed upon
the ground that at former term of the

forever debarred from serving again in
his court, and upon further ground that
the conditions surrounding the court

Of what was the proper place to hold
court. Colonel Harper argued the mat
ter at length, but his motion was over
ruled.
Judge Neville gave vigorous and
searching charge. In addition to the

THE OYSTER BOUNDARY
LINE DISPUTE AGAIN.
Gov. Longino Discusses the Oyster
Reef Dispute. = Attorney General
Preparing for the Boundary Suit.

jackson, Nov. f2.-Gov. Longino re-
turned last night from the Coast, where
he has been for the past few days inves-
tigating the strained condition that is
alleged to have arisen with reference
to certain oyster reefs now In dispute
between the States of Mississippi and
Louisiana. His visit was made at the
request Of number of leading citizens
of those parts, s,who are interested in the
oyster industry.
"All that can be done just at present."
he remarked this morning in response to
a question, I" is to follow up the boun-
dairy case and press that matter to
a speedy conclusion, and, in the mean
time, try to get an agreement between
the oyster commissions OF both States
that the territory in dispute shall be re-
garded as mutual or neutral ground,
open to the citizens of both States for
purposes Of oyster fishing, until the abb
solute right of one OF the commonwealths
to it shall have been finally decided by
the United States Supreme Court. AS
to the meeting Of the two oyster COM
missions intend to take up that matter
right away, and the meeting should be
held at an early date. expected to see
Gov. Heard at New Orleans attending
the bankers convention, and went there
to confer with him, but learnen on my ar
rival that he was sick at his home and
could not attend"
"What was the result of your investi-
cation into the charge that the Louisi-
ana officials had been arrogating entire
authority over disputed territory, pre-
venting Mississippi fishermen from taxi
ing their customary catch on the reefs?"
81 asked for proofs OF such instances
occurring on disputed territory soon
after my arrival there. But one instance
of the kind was brought to my attention
and in that case the Louisiana inspect
ors permitted the boatmen to bring
ashore such oysters as they had already
gathered. | did not definitely learn in
In what territory this interference occur
ed. 1t was claimed that this was in un-
disputed Louisiana territory, but the
boatmen who were interrupted were out
on the waters and could not be gotten to
give their evidence. AS to this, there
fore, could only get heresay testimo ony.
81 think the conference between the
two commissions can set at rest any and
all possible disputes that may arise while
the boundary suit is pending in Federal
Court at Washington"
Attorney General McClurg today adj
dressed a communication to Land Com
missioner Nall acquainting him with the
status of the boundry litigation between
Louisiana and Mississippi, and asked
him to furnish him at his earliest conve-
nience all books, maps, papers, surveys,
historical data, land grants or patents
ETC., in his department which might bear
on the claim. The Land Commissioner
will proceed at once to get up the neces-
sary evidence. Director Rowland OF the
Department of History has run across
an old official map Of the island off the
Louisiana and Mississippi coast which
the Attorney General believes will be
valuable in sustaining the Mississippi
claim

WIN Be Vigorously prosecuted.

It will be OF interest to our readers to
know that the suit pending relative to
the boundary lines will not so far as Mis-
sissippi authorities are concerned go by
default. Governor Longino told the
meeting OF citizens that he and Attorney
General McClurg were giving attention
to the the matter and the States inter-
est would be fully looked after. The
writer was shown telegram from the
Attorney General telling the Governor
to treasure all the information possible
for use in contesting the suit. So there
need be no apprehension with any one
that quiet surrender Of our interests
win be made. 1t is the opinion Of those
who have given closest study to this
matter that on trial Of the issue victory
is sure with Mississippi's cause. BILOXI

THE IRON TRADE.
Conditions of the Market Reviewed
For Past Week

Cleveland, O., May 22.-The Iron
Trade Review this week has this to
say concerning market conditions:
The high level of prices has been
reached, and that the succeeding
months of the year will bring increas-
ing supplies of material is the belief
OF many in the trade, but nothing has
appeared as yet indicating any relief
in the near future from the stress
everywhere felt. The statistical posi-.
tion of the, blast furnaces is remark.

their history (352,064 tons a week

April, accompanied by a virtual wip.
ing out of stocks.
"The $4,000 tons of coke iron on
hand at merchant furnaces represents
scarcely more than a days consump.
tfon and is the smallest amount thus
carried in many years. That the de.
cision OF the anthracite miners to con.
tinue their strike was not by decisive
vote is held to augur an early settle.
ment but as it stands the strike is not
a favorable influence upon the iron
trade.
"As a partial offset to it's effects has
come the puddlers strike in central
Pennsylvania, with it's daily curtail.
ment of pig iron consumption. Should
the soft coal miners become involved
in the anthracite struggle the whole
industrial situation would be seriously
clouded. Alternating favorable and
unfavorable reports leave the impress.
sion thus far that an average yield is
to be looked for.

for 1903 are increasing, both in pig

structural business for 1909 will fail OF
