WIDENING MAIN STREET.
Walk and Trees Removed In Front
of Failing Property.

Today the workmen for the Warren
Construction company have been en-
gagged in widening Main street at the
south app oach to the bridge, and in
doing so a portion of the walk in
front Of the Failing building has been
cut away. Yesterday the trees i'm
front of the place were cut down.
As the widening of the street will
make It necessary for Mr.. Failing to
remodel the front of his building, he
strongly objected to the change. How
ever, the sidewalk extended into the
street. while the bow windows of the
store are on the sidewalk. and after
due consideration the councilmen and
mayor declined to make any conces-
sions.
Through the removal of the steps
formerly in use at the Failing build
ing the residents of the north side will
be greatly benefited, as the steps have
baen an obstruction for years. While
the different members of the council
disliked to refuse Mr.. Failing's re-
quest, they held that no such person.
al consideration should influence them
in the matter. Consequently the
street was ordered widened.

over the matter.
Not so with Colonel Bentley, who
at the time was sitting at his desk
In the front OF the room. No sooner
had the profanity left the lips of the
talking one than the colonel was
upon him, Grasping him by the coat
collar and at other places he hurled
the offender from the office, and 1t
was near the outer edge of the side
walk that the drunk alighted. When
the other man attempted to remons-
trate about the distance which his
partner had been thrown he was
promptly silenced by Colonel Bentley
with warning that the same fate
would happen TO him II another word
was said.
He was a big man, too" declared
Colonel Bentley this morning in
speaking of the affair. but no man,
whether he is big or not is going to
come in here and do like that while
am around"

That the fruit trees in the various
private yards % this city are so badly
infected with San jose scale that they
are menace to the fruit industry of
the county is declared by Howard
Evans, horticultural inspector who is
here today from his home at Milton.
During the past summer Mr.. Evans
has been in the city on several diff
ferent occasions for the purpose of
inspecting the fruit that has been
placed on the local market, and has
frequently condemned cuiied fruit
that has been brought here from the
Milton country by peddlers. While
here he has also taken occasion to
note the condition of the trees within
the city, and he has found 1t to be
bad. According to Mr.. Evans, almost
all the small orchards in the city are
affected with San Jose scale, and as
an example he mentioned trees in
the rear Of the Furnish home which
he has found to he badly taken by
the scale. Regarding such cases, he
said:
while the people'here have little
interest themselves in caring for their
trees, 1t Is necessary that the San
Jose scale be fought for the reason
that 1t is through these trees that the
pest is spread. 1t will be of little use
for the fruitraisers outside either at
Milton or in the vicinity of Pendleton
| to spray their orchards IL the town
trees are allowed to continue spread
ing the trouble"
| From the nature of the San Jose
scale it is best to spray for the same
in the winter time when the trees are
dormant, and Mr., Evans is intending
| to place a man at work here during
| the winter. Under the law the in
| spector has power to force orchardists
| to spray, and in the opinion of Mr..
Evans the cheapest and most salts
factory way to do the work here Is
by his engaging a competent man for
the purpose, the expense of spraying
being borne by the various owners.
That the orchardists of the Milton
country will be required to conform
closely to tha law during the coming
winter Is declared by Mr.. Evans. who
Is himself a fruitgrower of that sec
tion and mas found it profitable to
fight san Jose scale and Goblin moth.
He says he has kept his apple orchard
, free of the latter at an expense of Is
! cents tree and as a result 80 per
!. cent of his fruit is marketable and
may be kept through the winter.
Others who have made no efforts to
, destroy the moth find their apples
I about 95 per cent wormy and unsala-
bic.

Walter NJ. Pierce has been in the
city today from Union county. where
he has been most of the time during
the last few months, attending to his
varied interests there. He has been
at Hot Lake much of the time, as i'm
provements of magnitude are being

the new hotel that is being erected

Hot Lake will be one of the largest

rooms. The building alone will cost
100000, while another $4,000 will
be required in furnishing it. The

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
ALL SECTIONS
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Hap
penings Throughout the State
During the Past Week and Re-
viewed in Brief.
Have Selected Delegates.

After the special orders are dis
posed of in the house this week the
Judiciary committee will be given the
rlght-of-way on chapters recently re-
ported, and one Of the most important
to be taken up is the chapter on
crimes and misdemeanors, in which
the committee has re-instated the
child labor law proposed by the code
commission, and stricken out IN the
Senate.
Unless the house has changed its
mind on this very important subject
since the last session, the recommen-
dation Of the committee will be
adopted by good majority. A child
labor bill was passed in the lower
body in 1904, but it failed to reach the
Senate in time for consideration.
The cotton mill managers evidently
realize that there is some likelihood Of
the House re-instating the child labor
section, for large amount of litera-
ture bearing on the subject has been
placed on the desks of members dur
ing the past few days, and one or two
sobbyists have been fitting about In
performance of mission that is not
difficult to guess.

Susan B. Anthony Dead.

Rochester, N. Y. The long and
eventful life of Susan B. Anthony
ended Tuesday The end came peace
fully. Miss Anthony had been uncon-
scious practically for twenty-four
hours and her death had been momen-
tarily expected since Sunday night.
Only her wonderful constitution kept
her alive. DR.. M. S. Kicker her at
tending physician, said Miss Anthony
died of heart failure, induced by
double pneumonia.
Miss Anthony's life in later years
since her retirement from active par
ticipation in the affairs of the Ma
tional Suffrage Association has been
comparatively quiet, but her interest
in the work to which she had given
the best years of her long life did
not abate. She devoted more of her
time to the pen and wrote many his
torical and reminiscent articles on the
woman suffrage movement. In spite
Of her Sc years her mind to within
a day has been clear and strong, and
even in her last sickness she was ac-
lively engaged in planning for the
future.

Running Full Time.

With reference to reports that
were being circulated in many quar-
ters that the Mississippi Mills at Wes-
son, were going to close, Receiver
hampton said: In every department
the machinery is running. Not one
machine is standing for want Of work,
but some were for want of operators.
Every foreman was clamring for help.
The management is very much worried
owing to lack of sufficient labor, as
the business has so increased In the
past months that they must have more
help. They are paying the highest
wages in a mill Of such ma@nitude,
making such varied assert. ent of
goods, they can offer employ, mt for
experienced labor in machine shops,
cotton mill, woolen mill, dyehouse,
weaveroom, packing, finishing and
sample department. The pay roll at
present amounts to about 100000 a
week, distributed among the 800 ope-
rati4es. There is more machinery now
in operation than any time in the past
six months and if the present help
can be increased, which the manage
ment is endeavoring to do, the spring
shipments this year will be the largest
the mills ever made.

Title to Property.

Suit which aims to dispossess forty
or fifty families of property they have
occupied for years, and on which they
have paid taxes has been filed at
Vieksburg by w. R. Craig and others,
the value of the land involved being
placed at $4,000. The property in
controversy is in the Barefeld sec
ton, five miles north of Vicksburg.
In 1895 the present occupants of the
tract bought lots, paying fancy prices,
the purchasers having since paid all
taxes. Five years prior to the sale
of these lots through an error, all of
fractional section 40, in which this
property lies, was taken by the state
for taxes, at the same time being as
sessed to individual parties. In 1901,
for 1870, c. H. Fife bought from the
state all of fractional section 40. A
short time thereafter it came into the
possession of W. r. Craig. Craig and
Fife now endeavor to dispossess the
original owners Of the land.

Federal Court.

1t seems as if it may be Federal
and not the State courts that will take
the lead in going into the alleged lum-
Der trust in Mississippi, which the
majority of the Special Investigation
Committee, or the McAlister Commit
tee, declares to exist. The majority
report as adopted by the Senate has
been sent to the House and is on the
calendar Of that body, and meantime
the fact having come to the attention
of the Department of Justice of the
United States, the matter has been
taken up there.
Chairman McAlister received let
ter from the office of Attorney Gen.
eral Moody asking for information
of specific nature. The letter con-
tains the following:
~ am in receipt of what purports
to be copy of a report of an inves-
tigatien made by eommittee of your
legislature relative to the lumber trust
in your state. 1t appears that the
combinations are operating in viola
ton of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
| should appreciate it very much if
you will furnish me with such other
information as may be in the posses
sion of your Committee relative to
the alleged trust. Anything which
you may see fit to furnish the FEEDER
al government will be treated as con-
fidential if you so desire. The pur-
pose of this request is to obtain suffi-
cient data to serve as a basis for an
independent investigation by the Fed
eral government.
