claim for beaumont Property.

Austin, Tex.-W. FL. P. McFaddin,
of Beaumont who recently made appli-
cation for a strip of river front at
Beaumont, about two miles in length
and $50 fee wide, will carry the mat
ter to the Supreme Court on a writ
of mandamus, it is stated. His at
torneys called upon Land Commission
er Terrell, and tried to convince him
that he was wrong in refusing the
patent asked for, said refusal having
been based upon the old Spanish rec
ords showing that the river walk was
transferred with the other land, and
that the Neches was the original
boundary and not $50 feet from the
river, as contented by McFadden. The
land is now very valuable, and If the
Supreme Court should grant the man
damus litigation would follow before
McFadden could gain possession OF
the land.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Many New Court Houses.

Over half a million dollars is be-
ing spent by Mississippi counties in
the erection of new courthouses. Some
of these buildings are stone and tile,
costing more than $4,000, while all
of them are good and serviceable. Only
a few years back the rule was to- spend
as little as possible in the erection
of public buildings. $4,000 being
near the limit. Now, the counties do
not hesitate to put $4,000 in a court
house and many ofthem are spending
larger sums for buildings with a ca
pacity for a large increase in the pop
ulation and business. This is only
one of the straws that proves the ex-
istence of "Greater Mississippi.

Belgium Immigrants.

A letter addressed to the Immigra-
ton Bureau of the State of Missis-
sippi has been turned over to Secre-
tary of State Power for attention. 1t
comes from an immigration bureau OF
Llege, Belgium, and is in regard to
securing expert farm laborers for this
section of the country. The writer
refers to the Worlds Fair, to be held
at Liege Belgium, in 1905, which, he
states, will attract thousands of far
mers from Holland, Belgium and Ger
many, who are looking for country
in which to settle. An immigration
bureau will be established there un-
der the direct supervision of United
States Consul Winslow, at Liege, and
managed by Julius L. Loix OF st.
Louis, a native of Belgium. Mr.. Lolx
states that the farming element of the
country around Belgium and in Ger
many and Holland are recognized the
world over as the most thrifty and
expert and industrious to be found
anywhere. He states that the Cana
dian government keeps an agent IN
Belgium to induce immigrants to go to
Canada and settle. They prefer to
come further south, where the climate
is more suitable and the soil more fer
tile, and will come with very little In
ducement. Mr.. Loix states that he will
be glad to cooperate with the state
officials in any possible way to help
turn the tide toward Mississippi. Sec
retary Power will take up the matter
and will endeavor to provide such
literature and statistics as can be had.
