Exterminates Family.

Atlanta, Ga.-A special to the
ourna from Jasper, Fla, says W. W.
Barton, carpenter, shot and almost
instantly killed his wife, three chill
dren and himself at his home there.
One victim, a child eight years old,
survived long enough to tell that Bur-
ton did the killing. The shots were
heard about IL o'clock at night, but
no attention was paid to the matter
until neighbors discovered Barton g
body lying on the porch and that OF
his wife on the back porch. The
children were found in a bedroom,
the pistol having been held close to
the mouth in each instance and the
faces were powder marked. Unhappy
domestic relations are believed 20
have been responsible for the act.

COMPRESS ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Large Number of Delegates Attend
Opening of Memphis Convention.


Memphis, Tenn.-The Southern
Compress Association met in annual
convention in the parlors of the hotel
Gayoso. About $50 delegates were
present from all parts of the South.
The Thread Trust.
The Department of Justice is being
urged to institute proceedings against
the thread trust. The selling price
has been raised from five to six cents
per spool.
An Indiana merchant, among others,
has complained to the department that
his women customers will not under
stand that it is the trusts fault and
not his.
At Washington merchants were no.
titled two weeks ago that prices
would be advanced. Up to that time
spool cotton had been selling for
five cents at retail, with an occasional
six-for-a-quarter proposition on bar
gain days. The merchants were then
paying ffty-fve cents dozen for the
thread, with a little discount for cash.
Hereafter they must pay sixty-two
cents.
The American Thread Company was
formed several years ago, some OF
the constituent companies being the
J. & P. Coats Company of Rhode
Island, the Willimantic Linen Com
pany of Connecticut and the Clark
Company of New Jersey.

The Delta Democrat, published at
Tunica, after commenting on the fact
of Mr.. Mathis success in trucking at
Crystal Springs, says
"From the above it is readily seen
that the old poor hills of our state
have a reserve force, for yielding to
man and labor handsome return
for energy and effort, far in excess
and bounty of our boasted cotton
plantations. 'Tis true that fortune
not every year favors this GLASS OF
husbandry, yet, with the above results,
yield of over $500 per acre, or all
average of $50 per acre for ten years,
they can afford to miss few crops.
We are very much of the opinion that
by establishing market for this class
of farming in Tunica county the prop
erty owners would reap a much great
er profit from their lands than de-
pending entirely upon cotton which,
like any other crop, often meets with
unfavorable conditions, both as to
growth and market. We have watch
ed with much interest the past spring
a small truck patch consisting OF four
or five acres between Evansville and
Clayton, conducted by a colored man,
with the result that since vegetables
first began to come in, he has more
than made expenses to work his whole
crop. From a small patch of 21 rows
of onions some so yards long, he has
already sold $500 worth and says
that he will get some thirty bushels OF
dry onions for shipping purposes.
From another small patch he has sold
more than $500 of mustard and tur-
nip greens. From about an acre Of
irish potatoes after selling locally
some 25 or 80 bushels at $3.50 per
bushel, dug and shipped rs bushels
the past week to Memphis that net
ted him $125 per bushel. These are
only a part of the truck he has sold,
a considerable quantity of beets, rad
dishes, lettuce, peas and other vege-
tables having been disposed of at fair
prices. He has already realized more
from these few acres of truck than
he expects to get from his fifteen
acres of cotton"
Reproduction of this article is made
to show that the delta section of Mis-
sissippi does grow vegetables splendid

from Clarksdale, the Experiment sta
tion at Stoneville as well as other
places. Diversifcation is the watch
word and will in the future make Mis-
sissippi the richest and most prosper
Gus state South of the Ohio river
The good work being done will be ac-
celerated in the future and the one
crop Of cotton in the delta will soon
be thing of the past. Hay, grain,
hogs, cattle, as well as the small crops
will tend to diversity the products
of the delta until it will be alongside
Copiah and other counties that have
been diversifying for years.

FOR GREATER MISSISSIPPI
Develop
men nofh In Wonder u


From reports received and tabnlat-
ed at the Department of Agriculture
and Commerce up to date, the showing
to be made by Mississippi as meat
producing state will be highly salts
factory indeed. Several counties have
gone above the million pound mark,
notably Lafayette with 1,360,315
pounds, Montgomery with 1,O5S,667
pounds and Union with 1,248,521
pounds. While it is very likely that
other counties will show up with larg
er amounts, these three give something
of an idea of the amount of hog and
hominy produced in Mississippi. This
being the first year that the gathering
of such statistics has been attempted,
and with the reluctance with which
some people gave them in, it is
possible that even these figures do
not do the counties full justice. Sup
pose that each county in the state
produced million pounds of meat,
had thought been given as to what
that alone would mean in dollars and
cents7 1t would aggregate in the
neighborhood of eight million dollars.
And it is believed that this figure IS
pretty nearly correct. Quite a fine
showing indeed.

Two important events in the state
during July will be the Neshoba Fair,
held eight miles west of Philadelphia
and the Patrons Union held two
miles north of lake. Both have the
same dates, July 23rd to 26th. The
dates were changed simultaneously,
both having dates including August
LIST, and again they are the same.
However, it is to be hoped that the
attendance at both places will be sat
isfactory. The Neshoba Fair will be
larger and more comprehensive than
ever before, and although the season
for making display of crops is
rather early, great deal of interest
has been shown and the display this
year will be good. The management
hopes to make highly creditable ex-
hibit of live stock and are in a posi-
ton to do so. The patrons Union
has an especially interesting program,
consisting of speaking by all candi-
dates for state Offices, competitive
oratorical contests, farmers institute,
races, baseball, etc. 1t is also ex-
pected that a creditable exhibit of
stock and agricultural products will
be made. Both institutions are wor-
thy of the patronage of all people
interested in the development of Mis-
sissippi, and it is to be hoped that
all in the respective districts will turn
out and visit them.

A great many people will say that
goats are profitable in Mississippi
and bring argument to prove the
truth of their assertion. Of the sew
eral counties that have forwarded
blanks, Benton is ahead in the num-
ber of goats reported, the fifth dis
trict of that county listing 120. The
animal has not been given the at
ton necessary to make them as prof.
table as they should be, but there is
promise that in the future goats will
prove to be one of the most profit
able of the stock-growing lines. The
Angora is being introduced in some
sections of the state and is no doubt
one Of the best breeds for this Sec
ton.
