The Eavenscroft Lumber Company
recently consummated the purchase Of
large body of timber land on the new
railroad between Morgantown and
Kingwood and will begin active opera
tons in manufacturing as soon as the
railroad is completed to Rowlesburg,
where it will connect with the Baltimore
and Ohio, which will be some time dur
ing the present summer.
Joseph Silva and John Sontacchi who
own small farms just south of town
have this spring imported 1900 grape
vines and cuttings from Austria, at a
cost of over fifty dollars and will turn
their possessions into vineyards and cul-
tivate and care for the vines as they do
in the wine districts of France and Aus
tria. Mr. Silva had three acres of the
choicest American grapes in bearing
last year, but this new importation con-
sists Of thirteen choice varieties Of for
eign grapes which have never been
grown here and which the gentlemen
think will astonish the natives when
they come into bearing, the punches on
some kinds weighing as much as two
and three pounds. The vines weighed
400 pounds and arrived here on Tuesday
of last week, after being month on
the way. Next year cuttings will be
sent to the Experiment Station at Nor
gantown and distributed among the
neighbors of the two gentlemen who
may desire them. Kingwood Journal.
Little birds are singing in the heart
of Editor Latane, of the Tappahannock
Va.) Democrat. Here is his prose
poem on "Springtime" "'Once again
we pause for little while to welcome
spring in all its glad reality. Once
more the robins note is in the orchard
and the mocking-birds sing gayly among
the boughs. The echo of the whip-poor-
Wills wierd lay breaks the stiffness of
the evening. The breath of sweetness,
Of life and joyousness pervades the air
at this vernal season The leaf Yields
to the cool blasts of autumn and crum-
bles into dust, but another comes to
take its place in due season, and wat
cred by the dews of heaven and
strengthened by the blessed sunshine
ere long becomes full grown, fulfilling
its appointed mission. How beautiful
are the forests at this season, robed in
dress of green, and the meadows adorn-
ed with violets and wild rosesl The
sweet cadences of the many song birds
in the early morning hours are as the
personifcation of blithe contentment.
The seed time has come again, and man
goes forth in earnest toll, that his eff
forts may be crowned with a rich har-
vest. Trials and disappointments of
the past are forgotten in the hopes and
expectations of the future, for with the
advent of May there is renewed life and
inspiration-yea, joyousness every
where"

IN POLICE COURT
Joseph Provost Fined SIS and
 Costs By Judge Burpee.

Joseph Provost of Waterville was arrested last evening as he was in the act of throttling his wife. The Provosts are young people and have two children. According to Mrs Pro- vost her husband has not been con ducting himself properly for the past month. He seems to have contract or wager to drink out all tho saloons in Watervillc. Every evening he gets home intoxicated and makes life mis- erable for his wife. Things have gone so low with them that Mrs Provost finding her husband deaf to her en- treaties found it necessary to apply to the board of charities for assistance. Last night the uproar in the house at- tracted the attention of Officer La chance Provost laid the blame all on his wife's grandmother. who is both lame and blind. This excuse was not satisfactory to Judge Burpee and a fine of $15 and costs with the alterna- tive of going to jail was imposed.
 John Barton was fined S10 and costs and James Finnegan 8 and costs for intoXicatiOn.

BUREAU OF ASSESSMENT
Heard Protests From Dissatisfied Property
 Owners Last Night.

The bureau of assessment met last night and heard parties interested n the layout. grade and establishment of building lines on Thomaston avenue. and the paving on portions of Scorilt, Grand, Benedict. West Main and North Main streets with permanent pavement. the Grand and West Main street material being what is known as bltulthic and other vitrified bricks. W. s. K. Wake. representing tho Bos- ton Furniture company. George w. Fenn and Patrick Holoban entered | protest against paying an assessment for the paving of Scoyill street. all claiming that the improvement. if such it might he rightfully termed. is of m benefit to them: the nice macadam road which was torn up to make room for the bricks. being quite satisfactory and in many respects more desirable than the present one.
 X. F.. Rice gave the bituliibic pave ment few bad whncks. He objected to paying for it in front of his prop erty on Grand street bccause he has no assurance that 1t Will not crack and crumble the same as the piece Qf work of that character done this sum mer on West Main street. Mrs Me dora C. Holmes didn't see any reason why she should he assessed anything, either
 The Thomaston avenue prajcct aD- peared to be all right with the exepp- tion of the building line. fifteen feet on one side and eight feet on tho otli- CT. which seemed to make lots of trouble. many of tho sbutting property owners stating that they will look for damages provided tine lines mentioned should be fixed and established

labor here which is giving the plant CTS the greatest concern, and this. added to the total unreliablity of an. other class of the negro lapor, has brough tabout a state of affairs that demands immed ate attention.
 Perhaps no man in southeast Ar kansas has suffered more from these conditions than Sheriff James Gould of this city, who owns an extensive plantation near Noble Lake MT. Gould has long given the question gravest thought. He has investigated a score or more proposed remedies, and in many of them he has devoted not only me but money in an effort to find the solution of the difficulty Some time ago his attention was call ed to the matter of importing foreign laborers of some kind and he went in to the merits of both the German and Italian labOrers for this purpose. While not fully determined upon the quest on as to which would be the bet ter fer country and planters as we'll Sheriff Gould seems to be disposed to give the Italian laborer the benefit of the indecision. and he has conse- duently made the Italian q close study for many months past. Extensive cor respondence with others interested in the subject has developed the infcr- nation that wherever these Italian la hcrcrs have been introdHced-and quite large number of them have been brought into this state and To- cated at various places-they have proven solution of the labor prob- lem on the farm Thus he is inclined to think well of the idea of intreduc- ing the Italian laborer here
 Sheriff Gould has expressed himself as ,ng inclined to go to Italy per- sonally and investigate the condi- ticns and probably import a number of laborers for his own plantation. If this course should be decided upon, it is quite probable that other planters, members of the proposed convention in this c,ty on the 20th instant, will commission MT. Gould to act for them in the matter of importing laborers for their farms also. Thus it is con- sidered quite likely that in the course of few months southeast Arkansas will witness the importation of a large number of Italian laborers for the planta ions here.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-02-15
PLANTERS TO MEE7
one Action Which Will Probably Be Taken Will Be Sending of Representative to Italy to Secure Laborers for the Large Plantations.

One probable feature of the con ventlon of planters called by Sheriff James Gould of this city to meet here on the 20th of this month, will be the sending of a representative of the planters to Italy to secure laborers for the large plantations in this sec tion of the country.
 It will be remembered that Sheriff Gould, as announced in thase columns at the time, sent out number of in- vitations to prominent planters throughout southeast Arkansas, ask. ing them to attend a convention in this city on February 20 to cons der the matter of improving conditions on the plantations here with respect more particularly to farm labor. Mr. Gould is receiving a number of re pl; ;es to these invitations. showing that quite a large number of planters Will be in attendance, and it is hoped that geod results will come from the meeting.
 The question of farm labor in this section of the state has become an i'm peratiye one. II is a problem that already cenfronts tho plaater-not a thing of the future. Instead of @roW- ing better. condit ons are constantly growing worse from year by year. and the time has arrived when the Flanters find themselves absolutely compelled 10 adopt some means of re negro labor has become so wholly and totally unreliable that the planters can no longer depend upon it at all, and even where they have negro la borers who can be depended upon to do their work new condition of af- fairs has arisen in fate years that is causing the gravest apprehension This is the fact that labcr agents from Louisiana and Mississippi are abroad everywhere endeavoring to in- duce these laborers, with fair prom ises and most alluring inducements, to leave their present places and mi grate to other states. It is stated on reliable authority that hundreds of negro farm hands have thus been led to leave this section of Arkansas dur ing the past twelve months, and droves of them are cont 'nuing to leave whenever opportunity presents itself
 This has created a scarcity of farm
