Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1903-02-13

Senor Assis Brasil, the minister
from Brazil, called at the state de-
partment recently to talk with Sec
retary Hay over tie threatening
conditions in Acre. The secretary's
efforts to prevent hostilities have
not sc far succeeded, and he is re-
strained from rendering the good
offices of the Urited States by an in
disposition on the part of Brazil to
accept them in a case like this,
when she is not prepared to admit
of any doubt of her claims to Acre.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1903-02-13

Friends of the navy in and out of
government are rejoicing over the
organization of the Navy League OF
the United States. The league is en-
tirely free from politics, and its sole
purpose IS the building up of the
navy, until it is equal to any de-
mands that may be made on it, and
holding it there.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1903-02-13

Some of the New England Repub-
lican senator's are saying some pref
tv things about New York these
days. One OF them, in conversation
with correspondent, said: II am
getting tired of d certain coterie of
prominent financial men in New
York trying to run this gov
ernment, and incidentally the
United States senate. They think
tie SUE rises and sets in New York
and that the rest of the people have
no rights that they should respect.

BLOODSHED IN w. VA.

Thurmond, w. ", May 27.-The
first serious outbreak since the late
strike order was issued occurred at
the big mines on Laurel Greek, not
far from here. For several days the
strikers at thatpoint have been MAX
ing an effort to induce the non-nnIon
men to join their ranks. Last even
ing the strikers began marching in a
body toward the mines. The guards
OH duty, half dozen IN number, at
the sight of the marching body
opened fire. The strikers quickly re-
turned the fire, but as they were yet
at long range the shooting was not
effective and only one person, Mar
shall Brown, a guard, was killed IN
the battle. Several received minor
injuries. Brown was shot through
the stomach, the bullet being from a
Winchester, and he lived but short
time. More than 100 shots were
fred before the strikers retreated.

GENERAL SUMMARY FOR THE
WEEK ENDING MAY Is.

The mean temperature averaged
about three degrees above normal.
Practically no ram fell during the
week, there being only few light
showers In the extreme northern
counties.
Weather conditions were very
favorable for farm work which was
pushed vigorously. Over the greater
portion Of the state crops made a
good growth, stands are good and
conditions are quite promising, but
in portions of the delta and In a few
limited areas elsewhere, much diff
Guilty is being experienced In secur-
ing satisfactory stands and growth
has been slow as a result of con-
tinued dry weather. A good rain is
much needed in the delta, and
showers would be beneficial over the
entire state. AS rule, corn is
growing nicely and much is being
plowed the second time; in lowlands
worms are still quite destructive and
have necessitated some replanting.
After much replanting stands of
cotton are now generally satisfac-
tory, except in portions of the delta ;
cultivation and chopping are in
progress. Oats are variously re-
ported; in some counties the crop
will be very short while in others
the yield Will be fair; harvesting has
begun south. Cane is up to good
stands and is being cultivated. Gar
dens, pastures, meadows, and minor
crops generally continue to do we'll.
Tomatoes are ripening south and
shipments have commenced. Early
peaches and potatoes are also being
marketed. Crop Report.

The result of the last years work at
the Experimental station at Mcneil was
such as to make the management of the
New Orleans & Northeastern railroad
believe that it is desirable for all the
people along its line to know as much
as possible about it.
To that end special excursion train
will be run from Meridian to Mcneil
ing Meridian at Z 100 a. In and reach
ing Mcneil about -: noon; and re-
turning, leave McNeill about p. IN In
order 10 give the people who are inter
ested in the work of station an opportu
nifty to thoroughly inspect the place,
Mr.. Ferris, the director Of the station
will be on hand to explain the work of
the station, and he will be assisted by
some of the professors from the AgrI-
cultural and Mechanical College of
FStarkville.
The excursion, while at Mcneil, will
take the character of picnic, in the
grove on the grounds. Splendid water
will be supplied from the wells on the
farm, ETC., but as there is no place at
McNeill suitable for provididg enter
tainment, it has been decided to sug
gest that the excursionists carry baskets
and make picnic of it.
A baggage Car will be on the train,
and baskets can be put in that car.
Mr.. Ferris will do everything posi-
BILE to make the few hours spent at
Mcneil both instructive and entertain
ing.
The excursion rate will be very cheap
and will be announced in posters and
otherwise. GEO. H. SMITH,

1t was during our pursuit Of Chief
Joseph, said the general. lone ex-
ceedingly stormy night we encoun-
tered on our march in the Bearpaw
mountains few woodchoppers' cab
ms. The woodmen were not inclined
to be very hospitable, but we finally
induced them to share with us the
protection their huts afforded
"They consented, however, only
upon condition that they should not
under any circumstances. be compelled
to give up their beds It fell to my
lot to share the bunk of the boss, a
very stern Irishman, who was not de-
lighted with his guest.
Hoping to establish an entent cor
dale, said banteringly, as we were
preparing to retire:
Come. now, Patrick, you know
you'd be a long time in Ireland be
fore you'd get chance to sleep with
general.
" I am thinking, he instantly re.
torted, that you'd be long time in
ireland before you'd yer be made 6
