TRUCK farming Industry IS
Being RAPIDLY DEVELOPED

fusely in this soil, it is especially
adapted to cabbage and sweet pota-
toes, and the latter industry is as
Stunning large proportions already.
1T is not unusual to raise 100
bushels of sweet potatoes per acre,
and sometimes as high as 200 bushels
per acre have been raised on the land
near Hattiesburg. In fact it is a
conservative statement to say that
100 bushels per acre is an average
crop. There are many varieties of
sweet potatoes, but what is known
as the Dooley Yam seems to lead
them all, being of good quality and
one that will keep in any climate
These potatoes readily sell for so
cents per hushel, (. 0. b. Hattiesburg,
and there are not enough raised to
supply the demand.
"One of the largest producers of
sweet potatoes in this section is Rev.
j. e. Carpenter, of Meridian, who was
formerly pastor of Court Street M. E..
OhuAS I'll III ILLS City. MI. SdI DcuItG
has 300 acres in sweet potatoes on
his farm three miles from town, and
sold his entire crop this season in
advance. The price was $125 per
bushel for all shipped in July, rs cents
for all shipped in August and Septem-
Der, and 60 cents for all shipped later
than September. This is an average
price of about SIS per acre, and the
crop this year will be very profit
able one
Our road shipped this season eight
solid car loads of truck, and the indi-
cations are that the shipments an
I other season will be many times as
great. The McInnis place, near town.
has capacity of about twenty or
twenty-five cars, and when the other
trucking farms l have mentioned are
opened the shipments of truck will be-
come. one of the important lines of
freight shipments that will go out of
Hattiesburg."
The trucking business near Hatties-
burg has heretofore attracted no spe-
cial attention, but is well worth de-
veloping and encouraging and the
Daily News will be glad to assist the
| movement in any way it can A neces-
sary element in the success of the
movement is the improvement of the
public highways, so that the truck
farmers will have an easy and cheap
method of bringing their products
to market. .--.-.,,,--- --rr-r-,-
1t would also be a good idea for
those engaged in the truck business
to organize truck growers associa-
ton, and now is the time to take
hold of the matter, SO that the asso-
citation will be in readiness to handle
next seasons crop.

LEWIS IS SANE
IND MUST STAND TRIAL

The negro, Simon Lewis, who was
arrested Friday evening i'll the
northern portion of the city While
under the influence of liquor in only
the garb which nature provides, came
in possession of his right mind and
seems as rational as a negro could
possibly be.
He is retained in the county Jail
on a charge of drunk and disorderly
conduct and will likely be given a
hearing in the city court Monday
morning.
The negro says that his home is

in Sanford, that he has worked in
Hattiesburg for some time and last
Wednesday went home for day or
two. On Thursday while returning
to the city he claims that another ne
gro gave him drink of whisky and
from the time he took that drink up
to yesterday he has no remembrance
of what transpired.
Upon being questioned closely the
negro seemed to have mild remem-
brance of having been shot, but this
was due likely to the presence of his
wounds which served as reminders of
his escapade.

THE IGNORANT FARMER.

D. H. Morris the. president of the automobile club of America, has on his Long Island estate a fine chicken farm. At dinner in New York Mir. Morris, in response to some compli- meuts on the success of his farm and on his knowledge of chickens. said. with laugh:
 And yet I was as ignorant of chic kens a few years ago as a farmer on his first visit 10 New York was ignor- ant of city ways.
 Everything was fine, this farm er said when he got back home from New York. Everything was fine except the light. They kept the light burning in my room all night long-a thing ain't used to, and l couldn't sleep on account of it.
 '' Well. Hi, why didn't you blow it ont:' said his wife.
 :. Blow it out? How could ts' said the farmer. The blame thing was inside bottle. .

TIED 'ENl UP.

She might have handed them a lemon. but she didn't. probably be- cause she didn't have one with her. What she did have with her was a nice little piece of pink ribbon. It was in theatre in Syracuse, N. Y., at a matinee performance. Of course, the two men looked sadly out of place sitting well down near the front, with the house almost entirey filled up with women. Worse than looking out of place, they behaved badly. They talked to each other just as if there wasn't anybody present who cared anything about what was being said on the stage. It was very annoy ing to the people tor several rows of seats all around them. and especially so for the young woman with the great picture hat of SHOW white feathers and lace, and the elegant snow white boa. She also had box of bon-bons, all bound round with a pretty pink ribbon. After yainly try ing to hear what the players on the stage were saying, she deliberately unwrapped the pink ribbon from aound that box iof sweets, and, hand ing it to the talkative young men, said in voice that was audible even beyond the zone of annoyance created by the chattering men, Here, tie 'em up: mean your mouths," Those two young men din't talk any more that afternoon, and almost everybody in that audience felt grateful to that young lady, even if she didn't think it worth while to take her big picture hat of until an attendant in the theatre told her to.

NO CHANCE FOR COMPETITION.

The Illinois Central railroad runs through a large district of southern Illinois familiarly called Egypt" out of deference to its largest s0wn. Cairo. When the first tracks of the railroad were being laid through Egypt the diyison superintendent of construction went one day for a drink of water beside the cabin of an old Kentucky darkey. who had found free dom and philosophy on the north side of the Ohio river. The old man was smoking his corneob pipe in the shade of his sycamore tree.
 Well, Uncle Sambo. said the railroad builder as he hung up the gourd on the we'll sweep again. don't you do any work at all?i
 Me? Yas. sahr I work six months every winter on a fatboat on dat river yonder.'
 Well. I suppose when we get the railroad through you will want to come in with us, and get job on a flat car.''
 What for:i
 ''To work. of course.
 No sahr. Ain't neyah goin' 10 be 'nough work on your railroad to keep no man busy six months in the yeah. Can't you see dat river wonder, aowin howin':"

 Bank robbers last night used dyna- mite on the National bank of Hunne- wells three story brick building with telling effect. One side of the building was practically demolished and considerable booty secured. The robbers were unable to secure all the cash in the building, owing to the noise of the explosion which awaken ed every body for blocks around. See ing that they were in for it they hur- ried to a hand car on the railroad track nearby and escaped. 4 posse of citizens was organized at once and are following the robbers and news of a fight is momentarily expected. At this early hour il is not known what amount of cash was taken.
 Chicago, March 1I-Zion is in mourning over the death of it's leader Dowie the Messiah. IL looks as though the differences of the two contending factions will be settled now as Dowie's personal position has been the chief bone of contention. It is the hope of the board of man. sgers to hold mass meeting of the thousands of Zionists who will be here Thursday to attend the funeral of their late leader and then try to raise funds enough to pay og Zion [ indebtedness and start it of again on solid financial basis. If they succeed in this there is no doubt the success: Of the movement in the future.

THE NE,.r PENSION LAW.

Ii is urobable th at there are con- siderable number of Civil war vet erans in Alaska who are ellgiole 'e pensions under the new service pen. sion law, who may not understand how to avail themselves of he neheh' of it's provisions. They VII Ut pleased to learn that the I nslon bureau at Washington has dec. oso that the provisions of the new Ia" are so clear and explicit that 1t IS na- necessary to issue any special rules or regulations for their-enforcement.
 Under the law it is unnecessary for any prospective or present pen sioner to consult al. n..attorney or do anything further than to fill out the formal application blank. which is furnished on application. It must be filled out before notary. Care must be exercised.~in filling it out to be absolutely accurate, so that it will correspond with the declaration made by the pensioner at the time he entered the army. Nothing else will be necessary. AS soon as the official
 inquiry establish the correctness of the facts set out in the application the pension will be granted.
 On the back of the application, tn, full text of the law is printed, as it is very brief. The blanks will be mail
 ed to those desiring them by the pen sion bureau or they can be secured from any senator or representative at Washington.
 The new law provides that any per son who served ninety days or more in the military or naval service of the United States during the late Civil war, or sitxy days in the war with Mexico, and who has bee honorably discharged therefrom, and who has reached the age of sixty-two years or over, shall, upon making proof of such facts according to such rules and regulations as the secretary of the interior may provide, be placed upon the pension roll. and be entitled to pension as follows: In case such person has reached the age of sixty two years, twelve dollars month seventy years. fifteen dollars per month; seventyfive years or over. twenty dollars per month, and such pension shall commence from the date of the filing of the application in the Bureau of Pensions; provided that pensioners who are sfXty-two years of age or over and who are now receiving pensions under exist ing laws, or whose claims are pending in the Bureau of pensions, may by application to the commissioner of pensions, in such form as he may prescribe receive the benefits of this act: and nothing herein contained shall prevent any pensioner or person entitled to a pension from prosecut- ing his claim and rec eiving a pension under any other general or special act: Provided. that no person shall receive pension under any other law at the same time or for the same period that he is receiving a pension under the provisions of this act.
 Section second says that rank in the service shall not be considered in filed hereafter.
 Section third says that no pension attorney, claim agent or other person shall be entitled to receive any com pensation for services rendered in presenting any claim to the bureau of pensions, or securing any pension under this act.

WHOLE FAMILY
ASPHYX|ATEO BY
LEAKING CAS-

Burlington, VT, Jan. I'm some un-
known manner. but probably by way Of
a sewer pipe. Illuminating gas entered the
house OF George RI. Devino, a grocery
clerk. at Winooski. some time during Sat
urday night and asphyxiated the entire
family OF six persons, consisting OF the
father, mother and four children.
All were dead when Devinos brother
broke into the house yesterday.
II was thought that the father was at
tempting TO make his escape when he was

The dead are: Isabella, 5 years; Made
line, years; Yvonne. years, and Cecilia.
months.
A milkman who called at the Devino
house shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday
forenoon discovered the family was not
UP. The man smelled gas and rushed over
70 tho next house. occupied by Edward
house and burst In the door. The hall was
so fun Of gas that they hesitated before
going into the rooms. Placing handker-
chiefs before their faces. they opened the
door into a bedroom on the ground floor.
where they found the bodies OF Deyino
his wife and the two youngest children
IL was soon sscertained that all were
dead Uustairs two children Isabella and
Madeline, were found dead In their bed.
The Devino house is not connected with
the gas main, but, as the odor was very
noticeable about the closets and sink
drains IL was believed yesterday that the
gss came from a break in the main and
entered the house through the regular
sewer connection.
