IMMIGRANTS TO GULFPORT.
British Yeon,en Have Sailed From England.
Alabama Company Supplying Rails.

Gulfport, Miss, March 1.-The immi-
grafton agent of the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad Company has received a
letter from Leeds, England, conveying
the information that party of sUalwart
British yeomen will reach this port
some time next month to take up a new
life in the land of golden promise be-
meath Mississippi skies. Every effort
will be made to encourage immigrants
of this class, and the new citizens Will
find a welcoming hand outstretched
when they first land on American shores.
The immigration department of the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad is doing
some good work along the line, and a
large party of Indiana people took ad-
vantage of the late homeseekers' excur-
sion rates to come to Gulfport and other
points on the road, number of them
having been in town yesterday. The
strangers all seem deeply impressed
with the wonderful promise of South
Mississippi, and many of them will To-
cate here and at Virgins, where their
thrift and industry will make them
valuable citizens.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.

Did you ever notice how really beau
tiful gum chewing makes girl appear :?
Take her de facto, and gazing, one can
not find more ideal picture. With a
sharp click! clack! her teeth, so white
and pearly, are clashing together as,
with cowish glee, she masticates her
cud. Then, too, one can note her health
tinted, well-rounded cheeks as they
grow little more rotund, through the
material assistance of big "chunk" of
gum. And, really, who can imagine a
fairer spectacle than that of her up
turned nose, as it gently rises and falls
in wave like undulations over the abys-
NAL depths revealed at each pressure
against the mass? Oh, how deliciously
tempting that rosebud mouth is as the
maiden fills it with soft, pliable chunk,
and champing like a festive goat revel-
ling in the luxuries of the succulent to-
mato can, she greets you in tones husky
with gum.

BIG DREDGE FOR GULF COAST A REALITY.

Editorial in Gulfport Record:
Big things have happened fer Gulf
port in the past, and bigger things are
yet to come to this seaport.
Yesterday afternoon Hon. Jas. Neville
received a telegram from Washington
conveying the gratifying news to this
city that the senate committee on the
rivers and harbors bill had reported
favorably on Senator Moneys amend
ment appropriating 100000 for the
purpose of providing a hydraulic dredge
for use at Gulfport and Pascagoula.
This comes in addition to 100000
already reported on for harbor main
tainance at this port.
The significance of this latest stroke
for Galfport can hardly be over-esti-
mated. 1t is regarded by those in a
position to judge as being equal to a
straight appropriation of at least one
million dollars.
If there yet fingers in the minds of
any of our people doubt as to the per-
manency of this harbor, this in itself
should at once and forever dispel any
misgivings. The permanency of hy-
draulic dredge operating in the Gulf
port channel not only insures deep
water for all time to come, but guaran-
tees with its constant presence a grad
ual deepening of the same.
The Record felicitates all parties con-
cerned in this splendid achievement and
impatiently awaits the heralding of
other good things for our port.

OYSTER STATIONS ON
THE MISSISSIPPI COAST.
The Oyster Industry on the Coast is at its Maxi
mum Now.--Rapid Growth Of the Business.
The Years Output Will Surpass That Of Any
Other Season.

Mississippi's oyster industry is now
at its busiest period; the canneries are
running on full time, and the shippers
of raw oysters are receiving all the
orders they can conveniently fill. Un-
fortunately, the rather warm weather
prevailing has made it necessary to use
large quantities of ice in making do
mestic shipments in bulk and shell, but
this does not materially reduce profits.
Contrary to general expectations, the
oyster industry on the gulf coast has
not been restricted by the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court in the
sissippl-Louisiana boundary dispute.
The years output will surpass that OF
any former season, and the public will
doubtless be surprised to learn that the
total value of the Mississippi output is
now larger than that of Louisiana or
Maryland, and has been steadily in
creasing for the past five years.
In 1900 the output of oysters for Mis-
sissippi was valued at only S31 ,6O3.
Louisiana was credited with s71 ,625 and
Maryland with 1925, ,566. In 1905, Mis-
sissippi's output was valued at S1,340,-
942, Louisiana's at S507,373, and Mary
lands at S54S,646. 1t will be noted that
Mississippi has more than doubled Lou
isiana in five years, and Louisiana is
almost equal to Maryland. Figures for
the 1906 season are not available, but
they will doubtless show the same ratio
of growth.

ENGINES FOR L. & N.
Twenty-Five Delivered to the Company at Louis
vile.

Louisville, KY, February 2S.-25 new
engines, half of the order placed with
the Baldwin Locomotive Works OF
Philadelphia last December, haye been
delivered to the Louisville and Nash
VILE Railroad Company. The new loco
motives cost $4,000 each and are of
the heavy type turned out by the Bald
win works. The locomotives proper
weight is III, 900 pounds each and the
tanks 1877 900 pounds each.
The road has been in bad way for
motive power for several months, which
made it necessary to place temporary
freight embargo in effect at various
Southern points a short time ago. The
lack of motive power has been greater
source of worry to the officials OF the
company than the shortage OF freight
cars. On occasions, local passenger en-
gines have been pressed into service.

INDUSTRY VERSUS INCIDENCE.

The number of people nowadays try
ing to get riches without labor, some
thing for nothing, fortunes in day,
are legion, and they are a mighty temp
tation to the industrious young man
who cannot understand it. They behold
the seeming ease and leisure that comes
to them while, they have it so hard.
Horatius of olden time was told he
could have just as much ground as he
could plow around with a yoke of oxen
in one day. He hooked up the oxen to
the pillow and he cut a very large circle,
and plowed until he came to the same
point where he started, and all that
property was his. And I have to tell
you today that just so much financial,
just so much moral, just so much spirit
ual possession you will have as you
compass with your own industries, and
Just so much as from the morning of
your life to the evening of your life you
can plow around with your own hard
work. $50 to the ant, thou sluggard; !;
consider her ways and be wise." One
of the most awful caldrons of death to-
day is an indolent life. Thank God
that you have to work.

DIVISION OF HARRISON COUNTY.
Writ of Mandamus Issued to Compel Commis.
sioner to Declare Election Results.

Gulfport, Miss, March /. The dis
trict attorney sent out writ of manda-
mus on behalf of the commissioners in
the special election held some time ago
to decide the question of the second dis
trict for Harrison county. This is the
latest development in the fight between
the election commissioners and the
board of supervisors, and the matter has
been put twice before the board of su-
pervisors, who, it is alleged, refused to
canyas the returns and declare the re-
suit, which the mandamus seeks to COM
pei them to do. The case was decided
by the chancellor in favor of the COM
missioners, and their decision was sus-
tanned by the supreme court. The writ
issued is made returnable before Judge
w. H. Hardy, who has set Monday for
the hearing.

WHAT YE HEAR.

"Take heed what we hear" as to SLAM
derous reports and insinuations. There
is vast amount of defamation in the
world. Perhaps we have all suffered
more or less by it, hence one would
think we might be prepared to estimate
it at its real value. But notwithstand-
ing our own experience in. regard to its
evils, how prone we are to listen to what
evil tongues may say of our neighbors
though jealous enough for our own repu-
tation, we seem to have little concern
for that of others. We should remem-
Der that we have no more right to hear
what evil tongues may say, than evil
tongues have to say what they ought
rot. We could not give the tongue Of
slander more pointed and successful
rebuke than to refuse to listen to it. If
we are watchful of our ears, others
would be constrained to bride their
tongues. II all men were deaf and
blind, there would be no SANDER, be-
cause there would be none to hear or
read it, and the unruly member would of
necessity be kept in order. But now
there are hearers and readers, and hence
the tongue and pen must be guarded.
Idle words are often the cause of inesti-
mable mischief. A good name is rather
to be chosen than riches. But the
tongue of SANDER may rob us of our
good name and leave us poor indeed.
What were but trifles are swelling into
Importance by repetition, and thus diff
ficulties, which single word might have
explained and healed, increase in mag
nitude and at last become incurable.
The tongue will be evil while the heart
is wrong, for out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaketh. The best
remedy for an evil tongue is new heart,
but as even the best of us are sanctifed
in part. we must adopt such remedy as
will meet the evil from whatever source
it may come; and this is the remedy:
Take heed what We hear. We must re-
fuse to listen to what the evil tongue
says. Listening to SANDER is so nearly
related to slander itself that il we give
place to the one, we are likely to be in
fected with the other. The listener is
partaker with the speaker; therefore,
at all times, now and ever, take heed
what ye hear-don't repeat everything
you hear.

RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

1t may be of interest to the people OF
some localities to know that the legisla-
ture made it possible for the people OF
rural districts to organize what is termed
separate school districts. The law pro-
vides that section of the county having
territory of sixteen square miles may
be declared separate school district by
the county school board on petition Of
a majority of the qualified voters of the
proposed district. Separate school dis
tricts draw their pro rata of the State
school fund direct from the State and
receive nothing from the county save
the poll taxes that are paid in the dis
trict. The advantage of a separate dis
trict OF this kind lies mainly in its ability
to tax itself for the support of school
without shouldering similar tax on
the other districts. AS the law now
stands, it is not necessary to incorpo-
rate the district or to have any salaried
officials. A board of trustees, five in
are the sole officials of the
school, and have power to make rules
and regulations for the school; manage
and control school property; enforce
the course of study; suspend or expel
pupils; elect teachees and recommend
to the board of supervisors the amount
Of local tax levy necessary, which re-
must be granted if petit
toned by majority of the tax payers

Criticism is a medicine that sometimes

Criticism is medicine that sometimes
kills, but often cures. 1t cured Lord
Byron of some of his early foibles and
lordly conceit, and it is said to have
killed John Keats, an oversensitiye
young poet. But, taken as a whole,
criticism is good thing if wisely
directed and properly administered. 1t
corrects errors, cultivates taste, and
conducts the world in the right paths to
the attainment of the most substanti
good to the greatest number.

An experienced teacher says that pu-
pills who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those who
do not, are better readers, better spell
lers, better grammarians, better pune
tuators, and read more understandingly,
and obtain a practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re-
quires others. The newspaper is de-
cidedly an important factor in modern
life. This viii not be disputed by any
one who has taken the trouble to inyes-
tigate the matter for himself.

The true solution of the marriage and
divorce question lies with the homes
more than with the legislatures. 1t is
more a matter for education and train
ing than Of legislation. The girl whose
early education has been gained on the
street, whose selfishness has been graft
fed at the expense of her parents and
whose preparation for marriage has
lacked an acquaintance with the COM
mon duties of the home-keeper is
standing candidate for the divorce
court. The young man who has grown
up without responsibility, who has
wasted his youth and pawned his man
hood to idle and dissolute habits is an
other. The ministers who are asking
the State to prevent divorce and repress
marriage haye their responsibility in
these cases, many of whom have been
Of their flock and under their spiritual
supervision. The parents are mostly
responsible for the negligence and mis-
taken kindness that units children for
the duties of life. Good fathers usually
train good husbands and good mothers
usually produce good wives. Like pro-
hibition, the question of marriage and
divorce seems to rest more upon the
early training of the individual than
with the law. Educate, not legislate.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Foolish spending is the father Of pow
erty. Do not be ashamed of hard work.
Work for the best salary or wages you
can get, but work for half price rather
than be idle. Be your own master, and
do not let society or fashion swallow
you individually coat and boots.
Do not eat up or wear out all you can
earn. Compel your selfish body to spare
something for profits saved. Be stingy
to your appetites, but merciful to others
necessities. Help others, and ask no
help for yourself. See that you are
proud, too! Let that pride be of the
right kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too
proud to give up without conquering
every difficulty; too proud to wear
coat you cannot afford to buy; too proud
to be in company that you cannot keep
up with in expense; too proud to be

It Will Do Everything But Talk

This is what Max C. Bonne. one of the progressive merchants of this city says in describing a wonderful machine which he has just installed in his store
 It is combination typewriter, print. ing press, dating machine. numbering device, paper cutter and an adding ma. chine, all in one.
 The machine indicates to the pur. chaser the amount of every sale, and the clerk who made it, and issues a printed receipt to the purchaser, showing number of sale, date, business card of proprietor and kind of transaction and prints a complete detail statement of the days business under lock and key and also shows the proprietor the total amount of each clerk s sales at any moment of the day.
 The machine in question is the latest and most improved type of a National Cash Register and was built especially to the order of Mir. Bonne.
 In addition to the regular cash regis. ter there is separate money drawer for each clerk. If any of the cash draw. CTS fail to balance. MT Bonne can tell which clerk is responsible; if bad coin has been accepted, he can tell which clerk accepted if.
 The system that Mir. Boune uses in connection with the register was de vised by George w. Frank, systems ex. pert of the National Cash Register Co. at Phoenix.
