Bill Creating a New Circuit Court
District on Coast Reported.

Jackson, Jan. 19.-The Senate judi
ciary Committee made a favorable re-
port on the Bloomfield bill creating a
new Circuit Court district on the Gulf
Coast by making division Of the pres
ent judicial district, presided over by
Judge w. H. Hardy.
Under the terms of the bill the coun-
ties of Perry, Marion, Pearl River and
Lamar will be assigned to the new
twelfth district. Perry is the largest
county in the district, and the measure
provides that it shall have fourteen
weeks of circuit court during the year,
four weeks IN February, two weeks in
April and two weeks in November for
criminal business.
The counties of Jackson, Harrison,
Hancock, Greene and Wayne are as
signed to the second district, and proper
| arrangements for the court terms made.
The provisions of the bill have been
unanimously agreed upon by the sena-
tors and representatives from that Sec

COMPLAINT OF OVERWORK.
Committees of Legislature Have Their
Hands Full.

All the standing committees OF the
State legislature declare that they are
being worked from twelve to fifteen
hours per day, and that they are suffer-
ing from over-exertion. During the
morning both houses hold sessions and
transact all the business that individual
members can possibly concoct, but at
noon an adjournment is taken to next
day, so that the committees can get in
their work. The real work of this seS-
sion of the legislature is going to be
done by the committees and in the COM
mittee rooms. That is for the simple
reason that there is great deal of ex-
traordinary work to be homework that
does not come on every Legislature. 1t
is not every legislature that has to tackle
a big code, a new book of more than
one thousand pages, and because of that
code every member of the making
body has his hands full.
The senate committee on county af-
fairs has been forced to abandon its
committee room and to hold it's after
noon sessions, which last into the night,
in the senate chamber. Every after
noon that end of the capitol is filled to
Overlooking with members of the com
mittees and those who have grievances
to air or who want special legislation.
The advocates of Jeff Davis county were
before the committee, and they put in
some good work. They are demanding
a new county to be made up OF slice
from COvingtOn and another from Law
renee. The new county will have 401
square miles. The constitution declares
that each county shall have at least 400
square miles, wherefore it would appear
that the advocates of the new county
have a very small margin to go on. The
committee is of the opinion that it is too
small, and the chances seem to be that
there will be no jeff Davis county in
Mississippi yet awhile.
1t is curious, but it is fact, that
Mississippi has tried more than this
time to get a county named for the Con-
federate chieftain, and that she has
failed on every occasion. Two or three
times heretofore the effort has been
made, but the advocates went down in
ignominious defeat. 1t cannot be, and
is not, that the name of "Jeff Davis"
has ceased to be one to coniure with
in the State of Mississippi, but it is
fact that every effort to perpetuate his
memo y IN this way has failed.

OULFPORT, rnSS.
Seven Hundred Acres of Cut-Uver
Pine Lands Put to Peaches.

There has been located in the last
thirty days by immigration Agent J. H.
Bouslog, of the Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad, a number of families from
Bellair, Mich, each on 40-acre tracts
near Nugent. Eight or ten German
families have been located at Wiggins,
and the firm of Hawerton Bros. has
been established at Bond. These indus
trial promoters are experienced nursery
men, having fourteen years successful
business at Downtown. After going
over the entire line of the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad they recognized the
superiority of location and fine soil and
bought t25 acres at Bond from M. J.
Bethune, who made a sacrifice OF his
town and neighborhood in order to To-
cate thereon a 100-acre commercial
peach orchard, twenty-five acres going
to general nursery. Aided by Mr..
Bouslog, the promoters have already
secured contracts for planting and ma
turing orchards around Bond, McGee,
Wiggins and other points, aggregating
about 700 acres. This is the beginning
of utilizing cut-over lands along the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, which
will soon result in shipping, not car
loads, but in-loads, of peaches to the
leading markets of the country.

ton of the State, and it is believed that
it will go through without amendment.
The necessity for new district is made
apparent by a recent recapitulation Of
the dockets in the various counties Of
the district showing 5S8 civil cases and
792 criminal cases pending for trial.
In Harrison county, especially, condi-
tions are very bad, the litigation on the
docket having been plling up for two or
three years at such rate that it is i'm
possible to dispose of it within the pres
ent time limit for court terms.
The creation of this new district,
which is now practically assured, will
give the governor another judicial ap
pointment TO make, and as the forma-
ton of the new district is to be declared
in existence Immediately after the pas
sage Of the act, it is quite likely that
the governor will be required to make
the appointment within the next two or
three weeks.
The new formation provides for the
retention of Judge Hardy in the district
where he now resides, and this will give
the Gulf Coast district the new circuit
Judge. The name of Mr.. Sanders, a
prominent young member OF the Scran-
ton bar, is being prominently mentioned
for the place, and it is understood that
he is strongly endorsed by the bar Of
the coast counties.
1t is also likely that the name of Hon.
Z. NJ. Barber, member of the legisla-
ture from Harrison county, will be pre-
sented to the governor. Mr.. Barber
was an applicant only a few weeks since
when Judge Mcdonald resigned, but
the governor appointed Capt. w. H.
Hardy before Mr.. Barber's petition
reached the capital.

The recent communication sent out by
the Commercial Club is attracting con-
siderable attention and is being dis
cussed by nearly every newspaper in
Mississippi. The Gulfport Record, one
of the best newspapers in the State,
says: "The Record is in receipt of an
open letter from the Commercial Club
of Bay ST. Louis, addressed to the mem
bers of the Legislature of the State of
Mississippi, wherein certain important
recommendations are made relative to
the oyster industry of the Sea Coast.
In years gone by this subject attracted
but little attention, with the result that
reefs whose productiveness seemeed
practically inexhaustible are showing
signs of possible extinction. Now that
we have begun to realize just what the
oyster industry means to the Coast, and,
we might add, to the State at large, it
would be criminal folly not to apply
those measures that will protect it and
make it a source of still greater revenue.
The interest manifested by the Bay St.
Louis Commercial Club is indeed COM
mendable and should be emulated by
other commercial bodies along the Coast
and throughout the State"

A CATHOLIC SOCIAL CLUB TO BE
ORGANIZED.

A Catholic social club for young men
and older men who may wish to join
will be organized in this city in the near
future. This is proposed by Rev. Father
Husser, assistant pastor OF the Church
of Our Lady of the Gulf, and was first
announced by himself from the altar at
both masses last Sunday. He also an
nounced that other organizations in the
church were proposed and that these
among the children and young ladies OF
the parish would be taken up tor con-
sideration in due time.
But the social club for gentlemen will
first be effected. Since the announce
ment at church last Sunday, Father
Husser has busted himself in the inter
est of the project, and he finds that he
is meeting with much encouragement.
At an early date called meeting OF the
gentlemen of the parish will be an
nounced and the work of organizing
will be entered into and perfected.
The name of the organization will be
adopted later, the purpose OF which,
however, has already been outlined and
provides many features for the pleasure
and moral edification of the members.
Some of the features are noteworthy.
For instance, there will be choice and
abundant supply of current literature
at the disposal of members at all times,
there will be occasional evenings for
special form of entertainm ents, and in
season there will be athletic pastimes
and diversions. Billiards will be one of
the all-year-round games.
The club will haYe club house of its
own at the very start. Very Rev. Fa-
ther Alois, pastor of the parish, has
rendered the use of the entire premises
of the two-story brick building, formerly
used as the pastors home and located
in the rear of the church. This will be
renovated extensively and fitted up in a
most attractive manner and to best meet
the wants for which it will be made
adaptable.
1t is anticipated to start out with a
membership of from thirty to forty, and
of this there appears to be no reasona-
ble doubt. The project is self-commen-
dable and, when organized, should
flourish like the proverbial banyan tree.
Father Husser will find a hearty sup
port awaiting his efforts, and he will
have the cooperation of all concerned.
Bay st. Louis is no more the fishing
village of former years, but the city
progressive and beautiful, and there is
no reason why, like other communities,
where civilization asserts itself best,
she, too, should not have her own
clubs and all kindred organizations that
go TO form progressive and live cities.

DREDGING JORDAN RIVER BAR.

The work of dredging the mouth OF
Jordan river is progressing IN Saus-
factory manner, and by February lst II
is expected the gigantic task will have
been completed. Ever since the first OF
the year the work of dredging has been
in constant progress day and night,
stopping only Saturday midnights and
resuming work on Sunday nights at
the same time. Dredging was started
within the mouth of the river, in deep
water. and continued through the bar
close within shore, on the outside OF the
bath house line, along the Blakemore
and Korner properties, and from the
latter place, where the dredge boat now
is, branching out into the bay to point
! of deeper water, and from where the
railroad drawbridge heaves into sight,
which can be steered to in direct line.
Many people have driven down to
| Cedar Point and watched the operation
of the dredger as it scoops up with its
|
dirt at every plunge INTO the water.
| This dirt is composed of sand and of toe
finest clay tnat can be found anywhere,
and is dumped on the shore side of the
channel along the entire line of dredg-
ing, forming for the present a sort of a
Ievee, but which, in time, the waves will
wash and settle into one long, continu-
Gus sand bar, SO to speak.
The dredge boat Jahncke No.2 is car
rying on the work, owned by the Jahncke
Navigation Co., with Capt. L. P. Davis
in charge of the work for the company.
The Jahncke No. 2 is fine structure of
its kind, equipped with powerful ma
chimes, all modern and possible of per-
| forming the most work in the shortest
time. In addition to its splendid dredg-
ing equipment, it has a powerful and
complete electric light plant aboard
and is provided with incandescent and
arc lights, making it possible to work at
night. The kitchen, dining room and
staterooms on the second floor above the
machinery floor, are all apartments of
convenience, marvels of neatness and
cleanliness and inviting to the visitor.
AS already stated, this work, this gi-
gantic task and remarkable piece of
work, which has so long been neces-
sary, was inaugurated by the w. w.
Care Lumber Combany, of New Or
leans, and is being carried out by that
corporation and other sawmill people
along Jordan river and tributaries-at
| their private expense, with no expecta-
ton Of being reimbursed by the Gov
| ernment, as seems to be the common
belief of many people hereabouts. The
work is being managed by Capt. G. c..
Gray, resident member of the big firm,
and it is he who made the survey, recon-
mended the work to his company, and
he is attending to every detail.
The channel being dredged is 40 feet
wide, about three-quarters of mile
in length and feet in depth. When
completed there will be no more delays,
no more losses, but, on the contrary, an
increase in the merchant marine busi-
ness OF that territory. At the present
time there are two schooners, loaded
with lumber, stranded on the east bars
at the mouth Of the river and have been
in the same position for over two weeks,
waiting for high tide to come to the
rescue.

The male flowers of the oak are gath
cred in distant clusters round a long,
swaying stalk. They approach much
nearer to the conventional idea Of a
flower individually. Instead of being
a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen
cells on simple scales those Of the oak
are possessed of distinct starlike, hairy
calyxes, each marked off into six or
seven lobes and containing ten slender
-stamens, with two celled anthers.
Then the female flowers, which are
usually two or three, near each other,
but not connected, consist each Of an
ovary, with three short curved styles,
and invested by calyx that adheres
closely TO it and becomes the husk, or
shell, of the acorn. The whole, except
the styles, is held in cup formed Of
many small overlapping scales, which
afterward lose their individuality and
shrink into mere roughness on the out
side Of the cup that holds the acorn,
for only one of the six ovules contain
ed in the ovary develops into an acorn
(seed or corn of the &C, or oak).

queer rhinrs About Fiame.,

There is a relation between the color
of fame and the energy of the COM
bustion causing II. The more vigorous
and complete the combustion the high
er the refrangibility of the light. A
flame burning in tardy and restricted
way emits rays that are red. When
burning in more complete and effec-
tive manner the emitted rays change
TO violet. The flame Of Il candle or a
lamp consists of a series of eccentric
luminous shells surrounding a central
dark core. These shells of flame emit
light of different colors, the innermost
'one-that In direct contact with the
dark core-being red and having a tenn
perature of exactly OF degrees F.
Upon this and I'm their proper order of
refrangibility are shells Of light which
are orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet. The reason that such
fame does not appear to US as a nest
of cones of different colored light is
this: When we look upon such a flame
all of the rays issuing from the diff
ferent layers or strata of concentric
luminous shells are received by the
retina of the eye at one and the same
time. This can only impress with the
sensation of neutral or white light.

south Sea Island Customs.

When a south sea island mother
wishes to chastise her child she seldom
resorts to slapping. and slippers, Of
course, she has none. Instead of using
the forms of punishment customary
among civilized mothers she pulls the
child's hair or bites some part of the
body, generally the fleshy part of the
arm. In wandering about the village
one sees many children having on their
bodies scars produced by wounds in
ficted by their mothers teeth. When
a mother wishes to caress her child
she deftly draws her thumb across its
eyebrow or cheek or gently seizes its
cheek between her teeth The rubbing
of noses is also. a mark of affection
among the Kingsmill islanders, as it is
among the Maoris of New Zealand.

Scraps From the Sea.

"There is often found at sea a life
belt or some sort of a life preserver
floating ON the water that bears the
name of the vessel to which it be-
longed," said veteran sea captain.
"As soon as it is reported there is at
once Il great amount of speculation on
the part of those interested in the ship
as to whether the vessel is safe or not.
This increases to alarm If the ship is
any way overdue. In most instances
the preserver has been washed from
the deck by wave or has fallen over
board, and the alarm is entirely with
out foundation. l remember an in
stance in which my boat broke crank
shaft. We were eleven days overdue,
and we were given up for lost because
raft that should have been fastened
on the deck was washed overheard and
picked up by a faster liner. l have
sometimes thought it would be a good
thing If these minor articles were not
marked"
