HOG STORY FROM ALLISON WELLS.
Sow Fasts Forty Days, as is Proven by Test
at Mississippi Resort.

The average Southern farmer does not
feed his hogs any more than he can
help, but no effort ever has been made
to see if a hog can live without anything
what ever to eat. However, some of the
hog owners may be interested in the ac-
cidental test made by the proprieto of
Allison Wells recently. A large red
sow was missed from the pasture on the
fifth of September, and was searched for
high and low without success. On the
thirteenth of October a little negro
helper about ths place was chasing a
chicken for dinner, when the fowl ran
under an old clubhouse in the corner of
the pasture. There, fastened between
two low joists was the red sow. The
boy supposed she was dead, but reported
the find to the proprietor. The floor
was raised and the hog released. She
was very plainly weak and emaciated,
but she finally ambled off to the slop
trough, where she did ample justice to
all that was put before her. That hog
had survived fast of at least 40 days.

day Last.
Sunday was Knights of Honor Day in
Biloxi. when over thirty candidates
comprising the second class were added
to the local organization, Gulf Coast
Council l.244. The team from New Or
leans and the famous Chicago team
united to initiate the candidates. Mass
was held at the Church of the Nativity
at 10 o CLOCK in the morning, with Father
George A. Doherty celebrant, Father
O'Shannigan, ]. c., preaching the ser
mon. The initiatory ceremonies, which
commenced about 1880 O'Clock, were
conducted in the City Hall and lasted
until 6 in the evening. Throughout the
day the members and ladies kept open
house at the Council chambers. There
was an abundance of delicious eatables,
the ladies were on hand continually to
wait on the guests, and the day was a
thoroughly enjoyable one to all. Be
sides q large number of knights and
ladies from New Orleans, there were
about one hundred who came over from
Mobile. The knights were somewhat
disappointed In that they were unable
to secure q special excursion train to
bring the visitors over from New Or

MISSISSIPPI PUBLIC LANDS.
Several Hundred Acres Found Subject to Home
stead Entry.

L. @. G. Lamar, register of the Fed
eral land Office at Jackson, states that
the general land office at Washington
has recently advised him that several
hundred acres of public lands have been
thrown back on the market and are now
subject to homestead entry. The de-
partment has made a new rule as to
proving claims, which requires fourteen
years. residence on, and occupancy of,
said homestead lands before ownership
can be esta ablished. These lands are all
situated in the southern part of the
State, and some of the tracts are very
valuable. A good deal of land has been
sold during the past year, but because
of the restoration of the tracts above
mentioned there is about the same guam
tity subject to homestead now as there
was one year ago-some $4,000 acres in
Mississippi.

The report recently published In news
papers that Capt. J. T. Jones. Of Gull
port had purchased Cat Island. has not
as yet hesn confirmed, and the story as
published now seems improbable since
we find the following which appeared in
the New Orleans Picayune Of Tuesday:
"Cat Island. piece Of land six miles
long, lying eight miles Of Gulfport,

property of the National Association OF
Audubon Societies, and be set aside for

wanted for the island.
Although purchased by the general

of, will be under the immediate SUPER
vision of the Louisiana Society. A man
will be placed on the lands to look after
their management, and sec that there
are no violations Of the regulation for

Yesterday: "Owing to its long stretch Of

FIT. SMITH HAS
 A BUILDING BOOM
Two Factories. New Hotel and Other Brick Buildings Going Up and Not Enough Labor to Sup.
 ply Demand.

Fort Smith, Aug. 9.-Architect F. NJ. Blaisdell of this city has plans completed for contracts for a number of brick buildings of two, three and four stories fin height ready to submit to contractors next week. The new
 Southwestern Chair Company's big plant is to be constructed at once, as soon as the contract is let, and a big four-story building is to be erected for the Dow Eads Chair Company The cost of buildings soon to be let to contractors is estimated at $125,- 900. Contractors here are in need of mechanics and laborers Brick ma sons receive from 75 cents to $1 per hour, and there are not enough to supply the demand. Common day la borers are scarce. This is caused by the great number of new buildings being erected in Fort Smith. Several office buildings are now being con- structed and the new Sebastian hotel is employing a big force of men. Sev- eral new factories have been secured lately and are either under course of construction or contracts are about to be let.

MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The day of idle contentment is a dead letter. The day of stirring and aggressive public movement is at hand. The American citizenship, the Southern citizenship, is no longer sat- isfied with roads and streets cut to pieces by puddles, ruts and gullies; with public thoroughfares on which the lights are enough only to deepen the gloom of the night; with impure and muddy water for drinking pur- poses, and with variety of other inadequate public utilities. City ad- ministrations must deliver the goods" Failure to do so is followed with swift retribution. Witness the case of Louisville. Ky, where the en- tire city administration has been thrown out of office and succeeded by appointment until a new election can be held. All of this is as it should be. People are no longer going to city officials and begging, with hat in hand, for what is their own. Remedies for laxity of performance on the public servants are numerous. Gov ernment by commission is one of them, and it has been tried with suc- cess by number of progressive cities. The result is shown in more streets and better streets; more sew CTS and better sewers; more lights and better lights; more public utili- ties and better public utilities. Thus, instead of glutting the nav of graft, public money is slowly but surely re- turning to more equitable distribu- tion among those. who paid it into the public funds. The street contractor, the bridge contractor, the excavating contractor, the lighting contractor, the building contractor and the so- called 'tommon laborer" has a just share of the moneys from the public purse Justice is gaining triumph in this respect-slowly and surely Southern Building Record.

RECORD BREAKER
 AT FOREST PARK

The crowd at the Forest Park theater last night broke al, previous records for the week. The attend ance was most encouraging to the vaudville artists. The musical Ben sons who have been entertaing To- cal theater-goers with delightful musical selection throughout the week were forced to respond to sev- ral encores last night and made a de- cided hit. St. Julian with his bag punching, head dancing and acrobat ic stunts, proved popular as usual and Lenore and St. Claire introduc- ed some new monologue stuff that kept the house in an uproar from start to finish. The moving pictures all new, were the best offered at the Park this season. The big stage holdup was realistic in the extreme and the other films equally as good. The bill will undergo a slight change tonight and the new pictures will also be shown. The car service last night was excellent.

SENATOR BERRY
 NOT IN POLITICS

Former United States Senator James H. Berry arrived in the city yesterday to attend the State Pen sion Board, and is at the Hote. Senator Berry will discuss anything and everything but politics, in which he says he is not dabbling. When asked the direct question as to whether or not he would become a candidate for the Democratic nom- ination for governor, he stated that it was little too early to discuss this subject. He declared in vigor ous language he would not allow his name to take the place of Cover John s. Little and would in no wise become a candidate unless he was assured that Governor Little would not seek a second term. Senator Brrry has been ill and expects to return home today.-Little Rock Gazette.

of greatness. It illuminated his honor, his directness, his robust scorn of sham, his humOr, his frugality, his courage and his philosophy. He seemed to have borne in mind always the saying of the first of the Seven Wise Men Moderation is best" So he lived to a green old age, ac- complished much, and died as the good man dies.
 It will be many a day before the influence of this old senator will die. He was unconsciously, but powerfully, a teacher of the sim pie life
 It is greatly to the honor of the state of Alabama that it produced men like Edmund Winston Pettus and John T. Morgan and kept them in the forum of the states. They did their state and the coun- try great service, and will not be forgotten.-Washington Post.

VEGETABLES GOING
 SKYROCKET ROUTE
Potatoes $1 Bushe], an Advance of 30 Cents Since June-Peas, General.
 ly 9 Cents, Up to Dollar.

The price of Vegetables on the local market is higher now than earlier in the season, and keepers of retail stores handling vegetables say they have to pay incredible prices for staple vegetables.
 Irish potatoes still wholesale at $1 per bushel, the price having ad- vanced to 90 cents and $1 last Mon day from the earlier price of 70 cents. Yesterday the homely corn field pea was sold at wholesale for 5 per bushel in the shell. Such peas have frequently been offered on the Pine Bluff market for 25 cents per dthemyanalSuchust ) 23 3456 .. bushel, and the supply was in excess of the demand at that figure.
 One retailer stated yesterday that the price of California canned peaches has advanced 30 cents per dozen. California canned cherries 75 cents per dozen and California evaporated apricots 15 cents per pound. Sweet potatoes are selling at $2 per bushel wholesale and are out of sight retail.
 According to report received here from Colorado yesterday, that state has no more potatoes to offer, but, on the contrary, potatoes are being imported to supply the home demand.
 Few tomatoes and practically no green vegetables are being received

count of scarlet fever. Since the period of quarantine has been ex- tended to five weeks, the number of cases have gradually been growing less and less, and the city officials think they have now reached sOlu- tion of the mystery, concerning the large number of cases of scarlet fever that, so to speak, popped up in a night. There is not a contag- ious disease in the city today that the authorities are aware of and they believe that the scarlet fever scare which visited the city the past winter and spring, is now en- tirely wiped out.
