Young Croker's Death.

Il was a sad message that the wires
bore to Richard Croker when there
was flashed through them the story
of the death of his son by an auto
mobile accident on the beach at Or
mend, Florida, few months ago. 1t
was a sadder story those same wires
told few days ago of the death OF
another son on a railroad train near
Newton, Kansas, from the over in
du1qence in whiskey and other mar
cotics. Young Croker was on me-
way to an Oklahoma ranch. He STOP
ped off for a few hours in Kansas
city. Already under the influence OF
LIQUOR he persuaded a hotel porter
to pilot him to an opium den. Later
the same porter put him on the train:
where few hours afterwards the
conductor found him dead. Poor
boy, poor father! Every syrnpathe;lc
heart that hears the story is touched
with sadness. 4 few years ago
bright. happy boy. But he took h1s
first drink OF Intoxicating liquor aid
that was the beginning OF the END.
It is the first step that counts. One
who has taken the first step toward
= drur3kards grave is as surely III
the way that leads thereto as he who
IS about to t;.ke the last step. me
death of young Croker is a warning
to every young man. A week ago he
Hid not anticipate such an end to
Fife of promise. Rich, with life OF
possible usefulness before him, en-
gagged to young lady whom he eN-
pectcd to marry within few weeks.
He would have laughed at the sug-
eestion that he was in danger; would
have repelled as Indignantly as any
Young man in Newberry the sugges-
ton that he had come to the point
where he could not ''drink or let Ii
along:" would have resented the IN
reference of anyone who spoke the
word of warning. Now he is dead,
an old fathers heart is broken, and a
Young girl wears sadder than a wild
ow's veil instead of the bridal wreath.
The story of the death. of young
Croker is a more eloquent sermon
that any preacher in any pulpit can
preach.
There is an old saying that The mid
die way is the safe way. In many
things this is true. but there is no
middle way that is safe way in the

MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL BOND ISSUE.
Plans Forming to Complete the Road
from HatticsbuFe to PaScaeOuIa.

New York City, June Z. The
Mississippi Central is arranging
with Wall street parties to float
bonds to the extent of s., 900, 900,
the issuance of which was author
lied several months ago. The
funds realized, it is said, will be
used in the construction of rail
road line from Hattiesburg to
Pascagoula on the Gulf Coast.
The claim is made that this new
line will open the Port Of Pasca-
goula to the world, that it will
place on the market one of the
finest tracts of virgin pine timber
that has been left standing in the
South, that it will give a new
route to Panama and South Amer
lea and that it will open up part
of Mississippi hitherto little occu-
pied by settlers.
It is claimed here that the Mis-
sissippi Central Company and its
dSSOCldl6 CUIpOIdGiOAc SOAlAOI UnO
greater part of the pine lands
along the route of this proposed
extension, and it has been conced-
ed by the officers of the company
that in the course of time this ex-
tension would be made, but the
reason for delay has been stated
to be that the lumber interests of
the allied mills were sufficiently
snbserved by the road running
west of Hattiesburg for the pres
ent. But the high price at which
yellow pine is now selling and the
great and growing demand for
this lumber will, it is believed,
have the effect of Fastening the
plans of the company, by which
through a port of its own at Pas
|cagoula the company will have a
grasp on Central, South American
and Asiatic trade.

AFTER DEFAULTING BONDSMEN.
Uncle Sam Shows that He Has a
Lone Memory.

Uncle Sam is maintaining his
reputation for long memory. An
effort is to be made to collect from
all the bondsmen Of w. III. Gibbs,
former defaulting postmaster, and
steps to this end will be imme-
taken.
Judgment against the bondsmen
Of the defaulting postmaster, rem
dered in the United States circuit
court in 1895, has been entered
on the Judgment roll Of the Kinds
county chancery court. The gov
eminent claims the sum of
Sc, ,7S9.03 from each of the follow
ing named parties: w. II. Gibbs,
William A. Garland, Clay Groves,
Bette S. Greer, Ned Parish,
Amanda Buck, James T. Burnett,
Mary E. Buck, John A. Criddle,
g. W. Carraway, S. P. Head,
Wallace McLaurin, James A..
Newell, F. w. Olin, Harry Rish-
.er and T. A. Wolf.
The effcrs Of the government to
collect on this bond, fully fifteen
years after the defalcation, has
aroused a great deal Of comment
in the city.
Mr.. Ned Parish, one of the
bondsmen against whom the gov
ernment has instituted proceed
ings of seizure, has filed a counter
bill against the government for
property confiscated during the
war, and which he claims more

first issue Of The South Mississip-
plan on Thursday, June 22nd, and
if that is found impracticable on
account of delay in getting every
thing in readiness, then one week

Capt. Butler was for s years
sheriff of Franklin county, repre-
sented that county in the Legisla

previous to his removal to Brook

Weathersbyis a graduate of Mis-

Crop Conditions in Mississippi.

It is entirely within the range
of fact to say that crops have not
,been as backward nor as grassy
in Mississippi in many years at
this season of the year as at pres
ent. This is the news from all over
the State. In South and Central
Mississippi, in North Mississippi
and in the great Yazoo- Mississip-
-pi Delta, in all of which sections
the writer has had the opportuni-
ty lately to see crop conditions
for himself, both corn and cotton
are small for the time of year and
both have suffered badly for work
on account of the protracted wet
spring. Many of the most pro-
ductiVe fields have never been
broken. and they are now so foul
with grass and weeds it would be
time thrown away to try to put
them in cultivation this season.
Verify, Providence has helped
out the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion greatly in reducing the cot
ton crop.
