Brown Tells a Pointed Story

one had been guilty Of "contributory
negligence" and he had brought be-
fore him the saloon keeper who sold
the boy the whiskey. The saloon
keeper clustered and blowed. wanted
a change to the criminal court and
made all kinds Of dire threats. The
Judge related to him the story of the
boy, told him what il meant to the
little fellow, and how he had had the
honor to take his papers and 20 alone
to the reform school, there to serve
his sentence. Judge Brown said:
Sufficient evidence has been producde
to satisfy me that YOU are guilty of
selling whiskey to this boy. You have
contributed TO his downfall. Is it
right that YOU should 20 unpublished?

can take this to higher court and
spend your money on witnesses and
possibly defeat the Case, but want to
know If you haven't as much honor AS
that boy He took his papers and
went to the reform school-will you
take yours and go deliver yourself to
the jailer?" The saloon keeper hung
his head, finally looked up with a
light in his eyes that had probably
never been there before, and said.
"Gimme the papers Judge" And that
man did go to Jail and serve his time.

In his lecture on the Juvenile Court
Judge Brown told a story that is
worth repeating, several of them for
that matter, but this particular one
has great point If 1t isn't lost In the
way this is told
A boy of sixteen years was brought
into his court for stealing chickens.
The Judge talked with him, heard
his life's story and understanding how
little the boy was really responsible
for his condition, placed him on
his honor, securing promise of reform,
and then turned him loose. He was
made to understand of course, that a
violation Of his pledges would mean a
sentence 20 the Industrial School at
Ogden.
The boy reported TO Judge Brown,
during the following weeks and was
getting along nicely, but unfortunate
ly lac was tempted to drink one night,
and thus he fell.
When he came before Judge Brown,
he knew that 1t meant going to the
reform schoo' until he was u, but he
said GIVE me the papers Judge, and
$3.50 car fare, and III go" And the
boy went up to the school without
any officer or other person in attend
ance.

The object of the organization is
to regulate the output of lumber by
carrying out more fully the agreement
of the Southern Lumbermen's Asso-
citation, to curtail production one
third in order to maintain uniformity
of prices,
J. Fl. Wilder was elected president
of the association and J. T. Stevens
secretary. Permanent headquarters
will be maintained at Hattiesburg. A
committee was appointed to draft a
schedule of prices to be reported at

Refortification Work.

Chefoo. .-Advices from Japanese
sources say that the condition Of Port
Arthur is chaotic, but that Gen. Stoes-
sci and Gen. Nogi are rapidly system
atizing things there.
Gen. Nogi is prepared, through his
agents, who have been recruiting for
months, to put force Of Chinese cool
les at work refortifying Port Arthur
Immediately after the Russians are
disposed of. Vast quantities OF lum-
ber and cement are ready on the Yalu
river for the purpose, while steel
plates and other manufactured neces-
saries are ready in Japan for trans
portation to the fortress.
The japanese are confident that the
refortifcation of Port Arthur will
place the fortress in better condl-
ton than ever, with the Russian de-
fects eliminated, long before Russia
can beisege it, if such a thing ever
occurs at all.
Ammunition, food and medical sup
plies to last for years will be sent to
Port Arthur, Japan, being heedful OF
the mistakes made by the Russians.

Governor After Pucckett.

Since learning that Captain David
Puckett, formerly sergeant of the
Rankin convict farm, cruelty and bru-
tally whipped convict named How
ell, on account Of a private griev-
ance, also heated irons for the pur-
pose of branding the prisoner, and
was prevented from doing so only by
the interference of a trusty convict,
Gov. Vardaman has redoubled his ef-
forts to bring Puckett to justice.
The plan of prosecution is now be-
ing formed, and it is likely that the
State authorities will not wait for
the next term of Rankin County cir
emit court to meet, but Judge Enochs
may be asked to convene a special
court term for the purpose OF having
Pickett indicted and tried.

They Will Raise $4,000.

President ]: C. Hardy of the Mis-

College, the largest educational insti7
tuition in the state, states that good
headway is being made with the move
ment to raise fund of $4,000 to be
used in building hall for the Young
Mems Christian Association on the
college campus. The members OF the
faculty and students at the college
have subscribed $4,000 to the fund,
and more is forthcoming within few
weeks, as an appeal has been sent out
to the members Of the alumni and
their assistants and cooperation, is
urged in the work. Much financial
encouragement is also being given by
the citizens Of the state generally,
and President Hardy believes that the
amount necessary can be raised IN
the next year or so.

Money for Soldiers.

Adjutant-General Fridge has now
on hand about $4,000 belonging to
members of the First and Second Mis-
sissippi regiments for the time spent
in camp at Jackson between date of
enlistment and muster into service
durig the Spanish-American war.
Members Of these two commands who
have not received their pay are re-
quested to at once notify the adju-
tant-general, otherwise the funds will
have to be returned to the war de-
partment.
The claims of the two regiments
were filed with the war department
by Col. J. S. Hamilton, special claim
agent for the state, but such an unus-
ual length of time has elapsed that
MANY members of the two regiments
have been lost sight of, some of them
having moved to other states.

A Big Deal Closed.

Negotiations have been concluded
in Jackson on the largest real estate
deal that has taken place in Mississ-
ippi for several months.
By the terms Of the deal George G.
Merrill, John Merrill and John Du-
Bois, wealthy capitalists Of Pennsyl-
vania, become the purchasers of the
plant of the Muskegon Lumber Co.,
at Lake, and 10000 acres of the finest
pine timber lands in Scott county.
The purchase represents an invest
ment of $4,000, and the capitalists
are in the market for adjoining timber
lands, it being their intention to buy
$4,000 or 10000 acres if possible.
The purchasers rak among the veal
thiest capitalists of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Dubois is the owner of town in that
state which bears his name, and Mr..
John Merrill is the owner of one of the
finest strings of race horses in the
East, one of his animals last year
winning purses aggregating 100000.
1t is the intention of the capitalists
to build one of the largest saw mills
in the country adjacent to the tract,
and arrangements are already under
way to build a standard guage railroad
from Lake to Carthage in order to give
easy access to the lands. The road
will connect with both the Alabama
and Vicksburg and Queen & Crescent
systems

FROM LAKES TO GULF.
Illinois Central Planning to Build a
Four-Track Line.

Chicago.-It is understood survey
ors are in the field between Chicago
and Kankakee locating the right OF
way for four permanent tracks for the
Illinois Central railroad. 1t is pro-
posed to extend the suburban service
of that line to Kankakee and while no
official announcement has been made,
the additional tracks will probably be
continued southwark, should traffic
justify such a course. The Illinois
Central line is now double-tracked
from Chicago to Memphis and with
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail
road, extending from the latter city to
New Orleans, the big system has prac-
tically two through tracks.
1t has been said here that with the
completion of the Nicaragua canal the
south can boast of a four-track line
from the lakes to the gulf.

Wild Rush For Free Land.

services at the war office and admir-
atty in honor Of those who fell at Port
Arthur. The national services at the
Kazan Cathedral has been postponed
until Sunday.
Some disappointment is expressed
here at the fact that the entire Port
Arthur garrison was not allowed to
march out with military honors and
the non-commissioned officers and pri-
Yates as well as the officers return
home on parole. Still the material diff
ficulties are appreciated and the whole
terms Of surrender are considered to
be quite fair.

scripts from the famous masters-is
to be made within month.
During his entire career the. leader
collected scores and manuscripts,
many of which were presented to him
by the authors. Every year he added
to it, with the result that it is the
most valuable private collection Of its
kind in America. Some of the original
scores of Wadd,. Lissett, and other
composers, it is said, will be sold to
the public library.
The Chicago Orchestra, although
the formal announcement of the dis
posal of the gift is withheld until a

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Exhibit of Poultry and Pet Stock.

The poultry industry is on a great
boom in the South, and the most sur
prising fact demonstrated by the poul-
try exhibit at the st. Louis Exhibi-
tion is that the South produces as
fine birds as the North. A Texas
breeder sold one Of his St. Louis win
ners to a Northern breeder for 5000,
and $50 to $100 chickens are some
what common. In Monroe county can
be found a number of fine poultry
breeders, whose yards show some OF
the finest specimens of the different
varieties. These breeders have been
banded together for number Of years
for the purpose of promoting the cul-
ture of pure-bred poultry. The as
sociation thus formed, in holding an
nual exhibits, seeks no profit other
than improving the poultry industry.
The Mississippi Poultry and Pet
Stock Association has perfected ar
rangements for its annual exhibition
of thoroughbred poultry at Aberdeen
The exhibit promises twice as large
as any previous exhibit, and the asso-
citation is prepared to take care OF
1000 fowls. Loring Brown, Of Smyr-
ma, Ca, one Of the most noted judges
in the South, will place the ribbons
The competition will be close and the
winners will have cause to be proud
Of their birds. The members of the
association have contributed literally
and the merchants of Aberdeen have
very generously assisted in raising
money to defray the expenses of the
exhibit.
The premiums are open to the COM
petition of the world, and the payment
of all premiums is guaranteed. Ex-
hibits have been promised from all
parts of the South. This is the only
poultry association in Mississippi, and
well merits the encouragement and
patronage Of all poultry .rasers.

In point of economy, the farmer who
raises his own fruit has everything
his own way over the me who does
not, for the cost of p~ -.uction is very
small while the outlay or first cost is
insignificant, states the National
Stockman. The raising Of a family
supply of fruit interferes very little
with the other farm work and the
growing of fruit for market as side
line is very profitable, for while the
cost of production is small the fruit
comes high very often to those who
have to buy; hence, this advantage
of the fruit farm.
