A Dog Makes His Own wlll.

New Augusta, Miss, May 3.-The
first case on record in this State of a
dog making its own will and having
it offered for probate has transpired.
A legal instrument, duly signed and
witnessed, bearing the crossmark of
a canine, has been offered as the
basis of administration.
Fifteen years ago Doc McAllister,
largest planter in this section, died,
leaving his pet hound. In his will
he made provision, setting aside
$3.50, the proceeds to be used in car
ing for the dog until death. Ford
MoAllister, eldest son of the de-
ceased, was given control.
"Tobe," the hound, died recently,
leaving numerous progeny, of which
young Ford MoAllister is very fond.
Desiring to preserve the bequest for
the benefit of the pups, when the old
hound was attacked by sickness, the
son of bis owner drew up will in
proper form, which two citizens wit
messed, and, placing pen between the
claws, the aged dog made his mark
X). A few days later the old hound
was gathered unto his fathers. Mr..
McAllister sent the will here to be
fled in the probate court.

Gradually 1t became noised about

Vincent had not been near the house

Tina Cotton Warehouse

d Y. !. B.
The advantage to the farmers OF
selling their cotton by the warehouse
system has been strinkingly demon
strated within the past few weeks.
Last fall the price of cotton got
down as low as 81 cents. Many OF
the farmers Of the county decided
not to sell at that price. They had
built a warehouse in this city, which
they owned and controlled them
selyes, and they simply stored their
cotton in the warehouse and decided
to wait for better prices. The bet
ter prices have come! During the
past few weeks most of them have
sold at prices ranging from IL TO liz
cents, an advance of $3.50 to $40 per
bale over what they could have got.
tom last fall. The expense of hold
ing the cotton has been conoar
lively little, and those who have
needed money in the meantime have
been able to borrow it at the banks
on their warehouse receipts. IS
More than this, when the farmers
got ready to sell they did net have
to hunt for buyers. The buyers
came here from other places, and
were eager to get the cotton. Com
petition in buying was all that couli
have been desired. q
1t has been demonstrated that the
warehouse system of selling cotton
is an immense Improvement over the
OLD loose, hapkazard method of sell
ing at random from wagons on the
streets. The man with a few bales
was at the mercy of the buyers; the
man or men with large number of
bales stored in a warehouse can prac-
tically dictate the prices.
We believe it will not be long until
the warehouse system will be in gen.
eral use in selling cotton. We do not
look for any more "big days" of SELL
ing cotton from wagons on the streets
in Anderson, but we believe that
from now on the bulk of the cotton
will be handled through the ware.
houses, and that as many actual sales
will take place during the summer
months as during the fall and winter.
The change in method will, we be-
lieve, be better, for the merchants
and everybody else, but the farmers
themselves are the most concerned
and will be the most benefited, and
they are entitled to the benefit that
will come without regard to how it
may affect other interests. They are
to be congratulated on the success of
their first step toward getting on a
business.like basis Of doing business.

was held and rendered verdict of
death from unknown hands.
1t was thought yesterday that he
had been murdered, but further in

COLORADO RIVER
CAN Be CONFINED
Captain Albert F. EeIs Has a
Plan to Turn Current Into
the Old Channel.

New York. Jan. 19.--Captaia Albert F..
Eels of Rockport Me. who is the con-
tractor building the Diamond Shoal light
house off Cape Hatteras, has been in con-
sultation with government officials and
also with engineers of the Southern Pa
clfie railroad concerning a new method
which he has proposed to turn the Colo
RADIO river back to its old channel and
thus save Imperial valley from the Salton
sea
The plan which Captain Ees has in
mind is TO build water gates near the
break in the rivers bank which will be
connected with sluices to carry the water
into the lowlands which are now being
inundated. These gates. he said, should
be built TO drain the river at a lower level
than the break. When they are opened,
the water instead Of rushing through the
break in the rivers bank as at present,
will flow through the gates. This will
make the water I'm the break more stag
nant and enable the railroad TO fill it in
by running trains of dump cars out over
trestles and dropping stones and sand
overheard. At the present time this proc
ess has been rendered futile because the
current carries away the waste as fast
as it is dumped.
When the break has been mended by a
strong solid wall of earth and rock, says
Captain Eels, the gates may be closed and
the Colorado will again be confined to its
old channel and flow into the Gulf OF
California instead of Salton sea. Captain
Ees said that the cost of carrying out
his scheme ought not TO exceed %10vo0.
