FREIGHT WRECK AT GULFPORT.
Louisville and Nashville Engine and Several
Cars Deraiied

Louisville and Nashville train Nc. 81,
in charge of Conductor Rayburn and
Engineer Beck was wrecked at the
Union Depot at 6:1U o'clock Tuesday
morning at Gulfport. The interlocking
machine at the big crossing was fixed
for the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad,
giving that line the right of way and
opening the Louisville and Nashville
track. The engineer claims the air
would not work. After giving the
signal, and not having the white turned
by the man in the tower, he applied his
brakes and jumped. The big engine,
No. 1877, on entering the open switch,
Jumped the track and buried itself deep
in the grade between the tracks, several
coal cars following the engine. No one
was injured. Twelve hours was required
to clear away the wreck. There was no
delay to passenger trains.
A petition of over 200 signatures has
been presented to the Board of Super
yisors, coming from beat ,, complaining
that the Gulfport Creosoting Plant has
run a ditch from it's works, emptying
into Turkey Creek. The drain it is al
legged, is poisonous and is killing the
fish. The Board has requested the
creosoting plant to fill up the ditch.

LITIGATION PRoTRAcTED.
Fallen Timber on Sixteenth Section School Land,
Tied up by Decision of Judge Niles.

The action of Judge Henry G. Niles,
of the Federal Court, in granting tenn
porary restraining order to prevent the
Jones County board of supervisors
from selling fallen timber on sixteenth
section lands means that this litigation,
which involves timber valued at more
than a million dollars, and will be pro-
tracted for several months, and perhaps
carried to the United States supreme
cour for final decision. In the mean
time boards of supervisors will be power
less to dispose of the fallen timber, and
lessees will also be unable to remove the
same unless they first give bond covering
the value of same.
In granting the temporary injunction,
Judge Niles is merely following the
course of his decision rendered several
months since to the effect that lessees OF
sixteenth section lands have the right to
remove timber therefrom, and that
boards of supervisors granting leases on
such lands are powerless to prevent it,
which is diametrically opposed to the
decision rendered by the Mississippi su-
preme court.
The entire subject matter will go to
the United States supreme court fol
| final review, and it remains to be seen
whether the tribunal of last resort will
interfere with the Interpretation of the
state law of wastage as defined by the
state court

Sea Ioast Echo.
ROADS IN HANCOCK COUNTY.

Until Hancock county adopts the road
making system by contract, the present
impossible condition of the country
roads will receive little or no betterment.
Many complaints are being heard daily
by our friends who drive in from the
country, and either the board of super
visors or those appointed by that body
whose duty it is to see that the highways
are at least kept in passlble condition.
are derelect of one of the most important
obligations that is due those who bear
the burden of taxation. While Hancock
county has some splendid roadways in
small spaces separated by remarkable
long distances, these seem to count for
naught and can be used but little for the
want of further improvement.
Bad roads add to distance and it is
not surprising our friends living in the
northern and central portions of the
county, who are thus cut off from the
county seat, should be clamoring for a
separate court district or division OF the
county. 1t has been wisely suggested
that the remark will bear repetition here
that half the cost of new court district
and courthouse could be put to better
ard more practicable results if expended
on one grand roadway wide and level
cutting directly through the county
connecting the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad with the Northeastern Railroad
The present system of building and
maintaining the county roads has well
proven a failure and it now behooves
those in authority to apply the remedy
which is found only in the contract sys'
tenn. Good roads in Hancock are essen
tial to the prosperity of every part O.
the county, a factor to progress and In
strumental in establishing and maintain
ing business between towns and immedi
ate points. No supervisor who is not {
champion of good roads should receive
the favorable consideration of the tot
often deluded voter.

REV. FATHER SORIN'S COMPOSITIONS
POPULAR.
Musical Composer Will Soon Publish Another
Composition. Of the Holy Rosary Now
In Eleventh Edition.

The compositions of Rev. Father So
rim, of De Lisle, Miss, are becoming
very popular in this country and abroad.
His first mass, The Holy Rosary, is now
in its eleventh edition. fact which
proves how popular is this excellent
composition, and especially when it is
considered that it is on the market since
only three years. The price Is only 70
cents. The beautiful melody OF the
Lords Prayer is also well appreciated
and is sung by the best choirs in the
United States, and testimonials come
from many cities stating that the Father
Sorin masses are excellent in every re-
spect. A new composition will soon ap-
pear, and the title will be "The Love OF
Jesus Changeth Not. This song is ex-
pected by critics to prove great sue
cess, like several of his other compost
tions. The song will be printed within
the next month.

A LESSON FOR MERCHANTS.
Something for Business Men Of Every Town to
Seriously Think Of.

There is a lesson for every merchant
in the experience told by a representa-
tive of Chicago mail order house to a
gathering of newspaper men up in Iowa.
He said that the mail order business de-
pended entirely upon advertising. He
made one remark that merchants should
heed. He says they take the local pa
pers and directed their special efforts to
communities where the merchants we're
not up -to-date advertisers. If the mail
order man finds that any line of busi-
ness in any town or city is not we'll ad
vertised, as for instance, furniture, he
said that they flood that territory with
their literature and always with satis-
factory results. He believed it true. He
said that country merchants could
greatly cripple the mail order houses il
they would advertise freely and in the
right manner. He said that every ad-
vertisement should describe the articles
to be sold and state the prices. Here is
food for thought by merchants who feaI
the effect of mail order houses.-Topeka
