The Tupelo journal., 1905-08-18
THERE'S NOTHING DOING NOW
Gov. HanIey Has Scared the Gam
blers Away From I~ndiana's Monte
Carlo MT French Lick.

Terra Haute, Ind, Aug. 9.-SpOrts
returning from French Lick, Tom Tag
CARTS resort, and West Baden, n
mile from French Lick, report that
gambling has closed there, and that it
is useless for sports seeking recreation
to visit there.
For a number Of years any game
could be secured. Everybody knew
that gambling was going on, and sports
from Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago,
st. Louis, and this city, and occasion
ally a few from Indianapolis ard
Evansville, would drop in when ever
they wanted a game or two. Indeed
it was not confined to gentlemen
sports for ladies took a hand and
risked their dough" with the rest.
Gov. Hanly is credited with putting
a quietus to this state of affairs. The
governor has an o~ld-fashiOned notion,
it seems, that when a man takes an
oath to enforce the laws, he should do
it, and not get blind as a bat and dry
as an Egyptian mummy. He has sent
men to the Indiana Monte Carlo, who
have secured evidence enOught to
fill a freight car, and learning of this
the have closed down the
games, put out the lights, and there
is nothing doing.

BURIED AMONG
FALLEN DEBRIS
Terrible Calamity in an Albany,
N. Y, Department Store.
MANY ARE KILLED OR INJURED
Upwards of One Hundred Meus
Women and Children Carried
Down BY the Collapse of the
Center Section of Building.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 9.-The middle
section Of the big department store of
the John G. Myers company, in North
Pearl street, collapsed, carrying down
with it over 100 persons.
Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster
and wooden beams, between 20 and 30
men, women and children met death.
Twelve hours frantic work on the part
of an army of rescuers disentangled so
people, six Of 4ae- dead and many of
the rest badly - : ed.
lre- Bod:> $ in Sight.
IGree ,odies were in sight at a late
hour, but many hours work will be re-
Tired to get them out. Anything like
a complete list of the killed and in
iured will not be obtainable until the
very bottom of the mass of w%reckage.
With few exceptions, those caught in
ruins were employees, a large majority
of them girls. The collapse occurred
shortly after the opening hour, when
barely a score of shoppers were in the
store. A clock found in the debris had
stopped at twelve minutes before nine,
showing when the crash came.
The Pillars Which Gave Way.
The pillars which gave way support
ed the ends of two giant Orders, and
when it fell the main support of the
central part of the building was gone.
With a noise that could be heard blocks
away and which shook the adjoining
buildings, nearly half the great struc-
ture, from collar to roof, and extend
ing from one side wall to the other,
came grinding down. When the fire
department arrived they had plenty to
do in rescuing those who were pinioned
under the top wreckage.
In a short time the city's entire hos
pital and ambulance force was on the
scene, aided by half a hundred doc
tors from all parts Of the city.
The Work of Rescue.
The volunteer rescuers and firemen
continued the work until exhausted,
when their places were taken by a
wrecking force numbering 800 men
from the New York Central and Della
ware G. Hudson railroads. These delved
in the ruins all night, but the work OF
rescue proceeded slowly. When dark
ness came it was estimated that nearly
fifty persons still remained in the ruins
and that not more than half of these
could survive the weight pressing upon
them. Fortunately the wreckage did
not take fire.

the low average rate in prize ind bsav-
ing qualities of the Texas Wild pecan.
Suppose this area was planted in the
improved soft-shell varieties, and the
ruling price obtained for them, these
figures would be greatly augmented.
What are the actual facts, approxi-
mately, of the area covered by the
wild pecans in Texas? We would esti-
mate it ut about 500 square miles, or
80, 900 acres. From this area are gath
Grad and shipped, the best bearing
years. in carload lots, about 700 cas-, or
80, 600, 900 pounds. The quantity shipped
by express and consumed at home by
man and beast will make 10000, 900
pounds. This quantity at five cents q
pound should be worth to the state
81, 900, 600. But prices are generally
low on these bumper crops, and per-
haps it actually brings only 81, 000, 900
to the state. In my opinion nothing
could be cultivated more proftably."

HERE N THERE.

What we know of the science OF
plant growing is only the condiment
to the thirst for knowledge raging
within us.
There has been a conspicuous ex-
pansion in the consumption OF NUT

tention is being devoted to this feature
OF the meat industry.
The farmer should remember that
the stomach of a horse is small, and
hence should be careful to see that his
animals have frequent drinks of good,
pure water during the day.

educating and grooming a horse to
properly fit him for market will often
add from $50 to 500 and sometimes
much more than that to his selling

NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL.
Raising Thoroughbred Fowls Only
Profitable to Those Who
Understand ii.

Nearly or quite ni%ne-tenths of those
who essay to rear thoroughbred fowls
do so with the expectation OF making
it profitable. This is a natural desire,
but it does not always result that way.
Nearly all of our prominent fanciers
breed for pleasure, of course they do.
for they can not help but feel a real
pleasure as we'll as a qualification in
having fine fowls about them, and in
ministering to their wants, yet the idea
of profit is not left entirely in the
shade. Fowls are pets which are album
dainty able to pay their way, if prop
erly treated, and those owners of fowls
who fail to make them self-sustaining
have failed just that far in the man
agement To make them pay at least
all expenses, and usually a fair profit.
it is not absolutely necessary to sell
the surplus for breeding birds at breed
ers' profit, for it is a well understood
policy with good practical breeders,
and one usually carried out, to make
the breeding of Thoroughbred fowls
pay, whether sold at breeders prices, or
for food. To be enabled to do this re-
quires a close attention to details in
the management of the birds, thich
works a double advantage, as it ilsures
the best care in every department. We
take a sound, practical and common
sense view of the matter, and wish to
present it in the same way to begin
ners. Viewing it in the light of a spec.
nlation has caused great discourage
ment and loss to the beginners, who
anticipated the golden gains they so
signally failed to realize,-Farmers'

Eacts os to COTTON Farming.

The development of the institution
of slavery brought about some radical
changes in the economic situation OF
the states in which it grew:
1t stopped immigration;
1t developed q constant tide of en-
i%gration;
1t dried up manufactures;
1t dried up commerce;
1t destroyed public education for all
the people. .
After the fall of the institution the
slave states faced right about again ia
all these matters.
Manufactures are re-~established;
Commerce has revived;
Emigration HIS ceased TO northern
and western states;
immigration from northern and west
ern states is now well in motion,
the immigration into the south of Eu-
ropean emigrants is now an attractive
proposition.
Cotton is again king.
Here in the south is to-day the fair
est haven for the farmer of the north
west, or from Europe, who wishes to
better his condition.-Charlotte IS. c.

THE P%RELIMINARIES ENDED
All That international Etiquette De.
Negotiations Can Now Proceed.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 9.-The Rus
sian and Japanese peace missions have
submitted themselves to introduction.
and likewise to all of the ceremonies Of
welcome and reception on the part OF
the United States government and the
state of New Hampshire, and are now
facing each other for the purpose OF
ending the war in the far east, and II
possible concentrating a permanent
peace between the two great nations.
They will meet in the naval stores
building of the Portsmouth naval yard.
The Russian plenipotentiaries will ex-
anime the credentials and powers which
the emperor of Japan has delegated to
Baron Komura and Minister Takahira.
and in turn the Japanese plenipoten-
tiaries will scrutinize the powers which
the Russian emperor has conferred Up
on Mr.. White and Baron Rosen.
The second days session, to take place
Thursday or Friday, it is expected, will
be devoted either to a consideration OF
the Japanese peace terms or to a prop
osition for an armistice by the Russian
plenipotentiaries. 1t has been estimat-
ed that if a basis of negotiation for
peace is found, the actual negotiations
will onsume something like Ave weeks
time before a treaty can be perfected
and signed.
While there are no official statements
or predictions regarding the outcome OF
the forthcoming negotiations, the prev
alence of a general good feeling is no
ticeable throughout the environs OF the
peace missions.

Keep the Ducklinss Dry.

1t is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. 1t is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams THAI when allowed to have &C
cess thereto, hut this is due to the fact
that most of the dNcklings are Matched
with %incubators during the winter sea-
son, when the cold waters of the pond
would chill them and cause loss. Young
ducks will thrive better If they are
kept away from the ponds until they
are well feathered; but despite all
claims in favor Of the Pekin ducks as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex-
perience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a pond
Like all aquatic birds. they enjoy the
water, and they will thrive on an open
field away from water Except Tor
drinking), yet they give the best re-
suits when they have the privileges
of a pond.-Farmers' Home Journal.

what they shall give the farmer for his
cotton. Every man in the South owse
this organization his hearty co-opera-
ton, whether he be a producer or not,
as all are affected alike by the objects
it has in view. 70 Mississippians
it means a "Greater Mississippi" in
every sense of the word. The officers
are excellent gentlemen and have the
interests of the members sincerely at
heart. Mr.. Clark, the President, is
one of the largest planters and most
prominent men in the State, while in
the secretary, DR.. Will h. Woods,
they have an able and fearless expo
nent of the peoples rights who will ex-
ert every energy in their behalf. The
entire complement of officers are able,
honest and fearless men. Back up their
efforts by your earnest cooperation.
Every mar that is at all interested in
the cotton crop of the South should be
a member and help to furnish the sin
ews of war to carry on the fight begun
under such favorable circumstances.
The following address has been re-
Gently issued by Secretary Woods and
is worthy of a careful perusal:
"Our work in the field is just now
handicapped by the dangers of yellow
fever, andsthe consequent ~quarantlneS.
While the organizers and speakers can
not operate, the men at home oGn work
and think along lines calculated to help
the good cause. The sub-civil organiza-
tions can be worked up, and local In
terest increased at times when mail is
cparca and time is Dlpntjful.
"The Federal authorities have taken
control of the fever situation and the
public should feel that all of the re-
sources of this great American Republic
will be used to combat the disease in
vasion. Let us all be careful of our
sanitary and quarantine regulations
and look we'll to health conditions in
general, and not loose IL heads. A
"Great Nation" which is today a world
power, when it's entire interest and ac-
t~ivities are enlisted in a cause, should
inspire us all with confidence.
In the midst of this excitement and
fear, let us not forget that we must look
90 steadily on in the rural districts
Where there is no danger of intercourse
with the infected world. If in n dis
trict there is a lack of supply of on
situations and bylaws, they can be had
on application to the Secretary at Jack
son, Miss.
1.-THE great work which has already
been done should be a stimulus to the
membership to try to increase our
forces and power.
"This can and will be done if the
great rank and file will stand by their
Association, and see that local interest
in it does not lag during the dull times,
such as these.
"Let your ~watchword be WORK and
VILIGANCE.
Very Respectfully,
WILL H. WOODS, M. D. Sec'ty."

ARMS FOR SAMAR REBELS
Discovery IF a Plot to Supply Rifles
and Ammunition to the MOrOs
of Samar.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 9.-News was
received by the Kanagawa Maru, from
Hong Kong, of a sensational attempt to
run guns and ammunition in quantities
to Revolutionary bands in Samar n
other unsettled districts of the Philip
pines. The syndicate was amply pro-
vided with funds. They intended to
run the guns and ammunition to unfre-
quented parts of the Philippine coast
and turn the ammunition over to
guerilla bands which continue to harass
the Americans. Ter thousand rifles
and a million rounds of ammunition
were known to have been purchased.
Since the discovery of the scheme,
those projecting it are in hiding.

dustry in West Texas In
Being Urged.

The development Of the pecan indus
try in west Texas is being urged by
many familiar with the great returns
that can be had from the planting of
this nut.
The tree will grow with very little
cultivation, and will bear for many
years, and experts say that no crop
yields a better return, especially as
the land could be utilized for other
crops during the time the pecans were
coming to maturity.
H. A. Halbert, an expert on pecan
culture, says:
las a rough estimate, we would say
that the area of land in Texas on
which the pecan will, thrive. without
crowding, is 5000, 900 acres. This vast
area will grow half a billion of trees.
At a low estimate of S. per tree as al
annual income, the total annual value
would be $500. 600, 900. This. in pounds,
would be so, OO0, OO0. 900, or 1880, 900 car
loads, enough to supply the world. and
in a few years to absorb its wealth.
This estimate Is made upon a basis Of
The Tupelo journal., 1905-08-18

On the It'll instant it was announced
that Mr.. Theodore n. Price, the great
cotton "bull" of New York, had wired
bis l~ieutenants in New Orleans that he
had organized q pool to sell cotton
down to and below nine cents for last
week, and possibly lower this week.
The announcement did not come as q
surprise to those who were acquainted
with Mr.. Price. For years it has been
his purpose to run the market down at
every opportunity. Many will remem-
Der the large space he used last winter,
showing pictures in all the big news
papers of cotton fields G%npicked, try
ing to hammer the price down, in which
he was signally successful.
But while Mr.. Price has been prac-
tically saying for years what the farmer
should take for his crop, another COM
pination has entered the field and will
in the future contest and with the proper
management, defeat his efforts. The
Southern Cotton Association, formed
by the producers of the staple, has
been organized for the purpose OF COM
batting lust such influences as r rep
resented by Mr.. Price. Within a few
minutes after the receipt of the news
in New Orleans of what was intended,
kilograms began pouring in to Presi-
dent Clark of the Mississippi branch Of
the Association, urging him as the head
of the strongest branch of the organiza-
ton. to issue an address to the people
warning them of the danger and to
suopest a counter move on the part of
the Association. Within a short time
the following was flashed over the wires
- A., 1o,lfn~ Gp,,fhpyn mr. mCn9nnr
that are in sympathy with the move
ment:
C~larksdale, Miss, Aug. 7, 1905.
To the Farmers of Mississippi:
1t is reported this morning that Mr..
Theodore I'll. Price has organized a
bear pool to sell cotton below nine cents.
He may be able to do this, but | doubt
it very much. If he does, he will meet
his own Waterloo. Do not let the price
of futures worry you q minute. SIMPLY
freeze to YOUR cotton. [ do not think it
possible to make 10000, 900 bales this
year. and | look for much higher prices.
Remember that YOU have, by refusing
to sell, advanced the price from % to
10 cents. and this in the face OF an I'M
mense crop. What can you do with a
short crop? The price OF cotton this
season is in your hands entirely. DO
not be disturbed by the threats OF the
spinners to stay out OF the market, or
any other kind Of bear dope. The crop
is short and you will get a long price
by simply waiting for 1t.
Respectfully,
WALTER CLARK, President
At last the worm has turned. In
stead of allowing stock gamblers and
Wall Street spectators to fix the price
of the South's greatest staple, several
hundred thousand producers have form
ed an reorganization to protect hell
interests, and in the future they can
say to the spinner and exporter
