Town Has $4,000 Fire.

For the first time in the history of
Alderman, fire visited the business
portion and for while it seemed that
it was to be repetition of the Yazoo
City affair. In few minutes after
the alarm was given, hundreds Of men
gathered and by their heroic work
stopped the fire, but not until the
buildings occupied by DR.. James Nc
Govern, w. T. Hunt and J. III. Evans,
together with their entire stock Of
merchandise were consumed. The loss,
as near as can be ascertained at this
time, is as follows: James McGovern,
house and stock of merchandise ST.
500, fully covered by insurance; W. T.
Hunt, stock Of goods $500, insurance
$3.50; J. W. Barron, building $1,000;

insurance; Gus Baine & Co., damage

moval $500, fully covered by insur-
ancs.

Yazoo Fire Loss.

The general adjustment committee
appointed by the insurance companies
to adjust the losses in the Yazoo City
fire insurance carried by all eompa
MES on the buildings destroyed and
damaged was $1,O2S,706. There were
760 policies on the 259 buildings con-
sumed. The amount of salvage will
be insignificant. The premium re-
yceipts of all companies doing business
in Yazoo City in 1908 totaled about
$4,000. Thus the fire wipes out
about twelve years of premiums col
lected. 1t is estimated that the total
insurance carried on the Yazoo City
property was about one sixty-seventh
Of the total amount at risk In the
state.

MISSISSIPPI STATE NEWS.
The Jim Grow Law.

The operation Of the Jim Grow law,
which went into effect on all the street
cars in the state last week, is being
watched with much interest by the
owners Of the car lines and the gen.
eral public as we'll. The law was put
into operation quietly and with
scarcely any friction after the first
day. 1t was predicted that the ne
groes would withdraw their patron
age from the car lines when attempt
was made to enforce the law. This
prediction is undoubtedly proving
true up to date. The better class of
negroes have entirely abandoned the
street cars, and those found on the
cars, for the most part, are those who
have long distances to make. But
these are seldom seen on the cars and
only one or two at time. The "color
line" signs are so made as to be NOV
able to any part of the car, thus MAX
ing 1t possible to reserve the entire
car, or any two seats in front, or in
the rear. AS rule the two rear seats
are reserved, and it is the exception
when these two are filled with col
ored passengers.

A Week of Crime.

Mississippi had the usual number
of deplorable killings during the week
just closed. Sixteen human lives were
snuffed out, and in a majority Of in
stances the killings were without
provocation. The most notable trag-
edy Of the week was the Washington
county affair, in which the killing of
a white man resulted in the sacri-
flee Of five lives before the guilty par
ty finally met his punishment. This
series Of killings was concluded by the
authorities, and there was no opportu-
nifty for Governor Vardaman to send
troops to the scene and quell the dis
turbance.

grafton Agent Of the Gulfport and

from Carthage, Mo-, where he went
to attend the national meeting of
Dunkards for the purpose Of inviting
the Society to meet in Gulfport in

they do not drink beer. Mr.. Bous-
log has parties from Michigan look
ing along the Gulf and Ship Island
for a location to start a box factory,
also to manufacture crates for truck,
fruit and berry growers and cases for
the canning factories A ten ton ice
factory has recently been established
at Columbia on the Gulf and Ship
Island, and they are beginning to
think of water works and electric
lights. It is reported that the can
ming factory at Collins has over $50
acres Of growing tomatoes and will
steam up about July 1st., and will
have a busy season on tomatoes and
peaches. The other three canning

Bodies of Eight Infants Found.

Pensacola, Fla.-The bodies of eight
infants, some preserved in alcohol,
while others were exposed to the
weather, were found in the western
portion of the city, near what is
known as the trash pile" The bod
les had been placed there, presuma-
bly,, the day previous, and were found
by man who had gone there on ona
of the city carts to dump some gar
bage. The coroner was notified and
viewed the bodies, but no clew to the
parties placing them there could be
obtained. It is suspected by the cor
onor, however, that they came from
hospital which has just been
closed and parties acquainted with the
circumstances say that twice the
number found have been taken from
the place. The infants with two ex-
ceptions, were well developed. 1t is
more than probable that the matter
will receive thorough investigation
at the hands of the authorities.

Several Small Towns Thought to Have

Wires are Down Full Details are
Lacking. Flood in Arkansas.

Lawton, Okla.-A tornado in the
Kiowa and Comanche nations has de-
molished great number Of residence
and business houses at numerous
small towns and laid waste dozens Of

been and about a dozen are believed
to have been injured, one fatally. It

nooga and Faxons, small places, have
been entirely wiped out They are
known to have been in the track Of
the storm. Wires are down and details
are lacking.
1t is estimated that fully two hun
dred houses were wrecked and the
crops almost ruined.
A terrific rain storm prevailed first,
five inches Of water falling, washing
out crops and running many farms.
This was followed by an unusually
heavy hail storm, hail stones as big
as mans hand beating down every
thing green and breaking thousands
OF window panes. Peculiar climatic
conditions followed. The atmosphere
became sitting and there was de-
luge of rain accompanied by a gale
which developed rapidly into a tor
nado. The tornado appeared to jump
from place to place, leaving interven-
ing spots untouched. The tornado was
especially severe around Walter.
Mrs. Payne's house was demolished
and she was instantly killed.
G. Browns house also was demol-
ished and all six members Of the FAM
lily unable to gain the tornado cellar
were scattered in every direction and
injured. In and around Walter fully
twenty houses were wrecked or dam
aged.
Eight miles southwest of Lawton,
fifteen houses were demolished and
several farms with their complete
crops Of cotton and corn and with all
the farm property were wiped out.

molished and escaped injury. The
