Walt WELLMAN
Will TRY AGAIN
TO REACH Pole
Associated Press.

Berlin, September 14,-In lengthy
dispatch received here today, Walter
wellman announces that he has not
abandoned his balloon voyage to the
north pole, but that he has deferred
1t until the opening of another sum-
mer. Mr.. Wellman says that his ship
made speed of fifteen miles an hour
against stiff wind, blowing at least
fifteen miles an hour, and that he
would have continued the journey but
for q binding snowstorm that made it
impossible to see his way. The
America, he says, rounded Foul Island
in the teeth of the wind at a speed of
twelve miles, thus demonstrating con-
clusively the feasibility of airship
navigation.
Mr. Wellman is now on his way to
Berlin, having stored his airship,
which he declared is in perfect con
dition.

WESTERNERS PLEASED
With HATTIESBURG

Two gentlemen from the great mid.
die west, where they are used to pro.
gressiveness, have been in the city for
the past day or two as the guests of
the Lindsey Lumber Company and
they are very much taken with Hat
tiesburg.
These gentlemen are F. R. Beck
with, of the Grey Construction Com
pany, of st. Louis, and w. P. Han
cock, Jr., northern representative of
the Lindsey Lumber Company, whose
presence in the city has already been
mentioned in these columns. They
are so much delighted with Hattiss.
burg that they are reported as saying
that If it were not for business reasons
they would settle in this city.
Yesterday the Lindsey Company
sent them to Gulfport under the care
of Mr.. e. Wood. of the company
with instructions to show them what
we have in the way of summer re
sort right at our doors.
\ They will return to st. Louis full OF
enthusiasm about Hattiesburg and its
people.

Seruice at Local PostoGce
Drops Back Into Old Rut;
Citizens Growi1g Indignant

Hattiesburg citizens are again COM
planning of the rotten service rem
dered by the local postoffice.
The fight waged in these columns
several weeks ago resulted in a gen.
eral Improvement. and it was hoped
that Postmaster Pitts and his assist
ants would keep up the lick.
During the past week, however,
things have dropped back into the old
rut, and the same careless methods
are again In vogue.
Mail matter addressed to prominent
citizens, with street numbers en-
blazoned thereon in box car letters, is
held for two or three days after its
arrial, and not infrequently it is
thrown into the general deliery.
There is a general tumble in dis.
tribution and the man who opens his
box these cool September mornings
may expect to have to place half of its
contents in the letter box or chunk
1t through, SO that it will fall on the
floor inside. The Daily News has
within the past several days received
mail for the Hotel Hattiesburg, Hat
tiesburg Heating and Plumbing Com
pany, Hattiesburg Printing Company
Hattiesburg Trust and Banking Com
pany and divers other local concerns
in no way connected with the paper
and all of which have boxes Of theil
own.
All of these mistakes cause delay
and delays are often expensive.
And the mail Of private individuals
is faring no better. A letter addressed
to Mrs. B. M. Stearns, 1901 Southern
avenue" reached Hattiesburg on Sep

Birmingham, Ala, September a.
Brice Williams negro charged with
committing criminal assault on the
14-year-old daughter of ALT Johnson,
a white farmer living near Green's
boro, Ala, was landed in the Jefferson

state.
The negro was captured early this
morning and carried to Meridian

New Orleans, September Alt will
be long time before Virginia Reed,
responsible for the ruin of Charles e.
Letten, will have an opportunity to
breathe the free air of liberty. To
make sure that she will not leave the
city the police today charged her with
receiving stolen money knowing same
to be stolen, which comes under Act
70 of 1898.
Virginia Reed is charged with hav-
ing received 100000 from Charles e.
Letten, the defaulting chief clerk of
the First District tax collector.
The charge was preferred before
Judge Aucoin, Of the second city Grim
inal court. Virginia Reed was placed
under bond Of $4,000.
Knowing that Virginia Reed could
furnish bond of $4,000 on the per-
jury charge, which was placed against
her today by District Attorney Par
ker, Inspector Whitaker thought 1t
best to have the more serious charge
preferred against her.
Letten, it is expected, will be used
as the principal witness against Vir-
ginia Reed, as his confession to In.
spector Whitaker, both verbal and In
writing, is considered the key to the
case against her.
Last night her attorneys managed tc
secure bonds for her in the sum oi
| $4,000, but as soon as the Inspector
was made acquainted with the fac
that the woman was about to secure
bond he ordered the other charge
made SO as to hold her. Virginia Reed
like Charles e. Letten, her paramour
will be unable to furnish bonds ant
will spend their time in the parish
prison until their trials occur.
The corps of experts in the FRS
District tax collectors office have no
finished checking up the accounts O
Charles e. Letten, the former chic
clerk of that Office.
1t was stated that 1t would be mat
ter of impossibility to state the exac'
| figures at present, but that it was ex
pected by late tonight the work woult
be completed. 1t was said today thai
the amount would probably go oyel
$4,000.

THE CLOSING OF THE cA1Yx.
CA. L. Roberts.)


I have no doubt that all fruit grow
ers know that the calyx of an apple
closes in a short time and understand
the reason why it is necessary to fill
the calyx cup with poison before it
does close. 1t may not be so generally
noticed, however, that, whereas apple
blossoms come in clusters Of five to
seven or eight in bunch, it is only
the first ones to come out which become
apples. That is, these punches of bios

duce only one to two apples. Occasion

are therefore the first to close the
calyx. Their stems grow strong first.
take all the sap and the other blossoms
wither and drop off,
1t is these first blossoms, therefore,
the calyxes Of which must be filled
with poison If we would prevent our
apples from becoming wormy. It then
becomes necessary to make full prep
arations before spraying time to cover
the orchard in time to catch these first
blossoms before their calyxes close If
one would have the best results. Then,
too, there is some considerable varia-

to find them the very wormiest Of all
my apples until found I was spraying
them after their calyxes had mostly
closed.
Since then have made 1t point to
spray them Immediately after the pet

ing time that they are no more wormy
than the fruit of other varieties. The
kind of varieties then has an influence
on the length of time that may be safe

that in my orchard I have only five or
six days and do not believe that the

lows for eight or ten miles. One coast
breeder writes that a number of coy
otes have been killed with rocks after
being chased a day with his beagle
hounds Another coast breeder says
they are great hunters and have the
staying qualities, as he has known them
to run jack rabbits for three DAVIS with
out any food. I feel certain that no one
will say they are not good hunters and
good hounds I do not mind saying
that l admire them for their small size
and real worth. I find it costs but a
trif1e to keep one of them Cor a pair
for that matter) and I do recommend
them to all poultry raisers that are
troubled with coons, skunks, wildcats,
and foxes. There are thousands of
turkey eggs and turkeys destroyed every
year by these pestiferous animals and
all should be glad to find a pair of
hounds that would protect their poultry
from these animals.

commercial orchards Is much over six
days. 1t is my observation that among
the neighboring fruit growers not more
than half Of them do their spraying
quite soon enough. A few are usually
way late not beginning until the first
have entirely finished.
For the other srrayings for the cod
lin moth, I think the exact time does
not make so much difference. I notice
that Professor Gillette usually recon-
mends a second spraying in ten days,
but it suits me better to wait about
thirty days. With us that usually
means that the first spraying comes
about May tenth, the second about June
tenth and the third about July tenth.
I believe that not over one-third Of the
orchardists spray thoroughly enough. It
is easy to acquire a belief that it isnec-
essary to spray thoroughly, but quite a
different thing to learn just how to
do it.
