DAIAELI.

DaIzeu, March 19.-All is quiet in
our neighborhood at present. we
have heard only one young man say
he was having more than his share
of Ill luck in the past few days.
MIR. Hazel Boykin went out with a
warrant to arrest negro named
Harrison Jackson Friday night, ac-
companied by Mr.. M. L. Moore and
Robert Segars. Hazel went to the
negro's house and called him and told
him he wanted to- see him, but the
negro did not come out, so he called
again, telling him to come out, he
wanted to see him. This time the
negro came to the door with a torch
light in one hand and an axe handle
IN the other, and told Mr.. Boykin if
he wanted to see him he would have to
out So Mr.. Boykin went up and told
HIM he had a warrant for him and to
hrow I'D his hands and consider him.
self under arrest But instead he
threw the torch light at Mr.. Boykin
and started to run and Boykin shot to
scare him, he said. An old negro
woman in the house screamed out
that she was shot and just kept hol-
1ering and ran to a nearby negro
house and in a few minutes there
were several negroes around and the
old negro was right bloody. This
frightened Mr.. Boykin and Mr..
Moore, so they went to Mr. Segars
and 'phoned for doctor, and when
the doctor came, after examining the
negro, said she was not shot, but hit
with stick, so it supposed as the
negro wheeled to run he hit the old
woman with the axe handle on the
head. 1t cost Mr.. Boykin a doctors
bilI for her and the negro got away.
On Saturday he got his buggy wheel
torn up, SO he thinks his lot was
pretty tough for the two days.
There will be a good deal Of corn
planted during this week, if the
weather continues as favorable as to-
cay has been.
Revs. D. A. Lewis and S. D. Bailey
Hled their places at Providence and
St James Sunday, and judging from
their sermons, both were feeling con-
siderably better physically and spir-
itually than they did two weeks ago.
For the benefit Of those that are
not up on the appointments, will say

In support Of the writers sugges-
tion as to the use Of broader tires for
the improvement Of our roads, the
Centreville Jeffersspian comments on
the fact that there is complaint about
the saw mills Of that section damag-
ing the roads with their heavy wa
gons. The Jeffersonian goes on to
show that the broad tires used on the
log wagons tend to improve the road
except in extremely bad weather,
when it is impossible to draw load
with any kind of tire. Broad tires
will not make perfect roads, but 1t is
recognized as q fact where expert
ments have been made, that they tend
to improve the road and that load
is drawn with more ease over dirt
roads where nothing but broad tires
are used. The United States Govern
ment has thoroughly tested this mat
ter and in the District Of Columbia
tires of standard width are required
by law. 1t is matter worthy of in
vestigation by the people of Missis.

Improved methods Of farming are

Grafton that our public roads are uni

Likens, reports that our county roads
are in excellent condition and says
that he has one hundred and fifty
miles of road that an automobile can
travel with ease. A few years ago
one could scarcely tour the country
on horseback and this rapid change
for the better is due In the main to
the enterprise and far-sightedness of
our splendid Board Of Supervisors" I"
Coahoma has spent great deal OF
money on her roads in the past few
years as shown by the bulletin on
roads issued last fall. Some Of it
was undoubtedly not we'll spent, but
an effort was made and the result
has been gratifying indeed. Other
counties take notice.

Arrangements have been perfected
for the exhibition and demonstra-
ton of a two-horse road builder at
the Fair this fall that will likely at
tract considerable attention. One OBJ
lection to the machines commonly in
use is that six or eight stout mules
are required to pull them while at
work and it is not always convenient
to get so many together. This new
machine is claimed to do more than
half the work with two mules that the
larger ones will do with six. The man
ufacturers will have piece Of road
already constructed and the machine
in operation on the days set apart for
visit from the supervisors of the
various counties and the road COM

ture will be watched with interest by

ed pack of blood hounds in each coun-
ty in the State, as much for the pre-
vention of crime as catching the cri-
mlnal after the crime had been COM
mltted, is ginning advocates daily. 1t
is generaldy conceded, that if pack
OF reliable hounds were to be had
VII ain an hour, or so Of the commits
F>1on of the crime, the criminal would
not be so apt to commit the unlawful
act. There are in the State now, a
number of packs that have done
splendid service in bringing criminals
to justice, and the object of the races
to be run at the Fair this fall is to
acquaint the people with what is pos
sible to be done with the hounds, and
encourage every county to keep on
hand one or more packs.
The fair management will endeavor
to encourage this movement by ar
ranging a number of races to be run
during the fair, over trails of varying
length and difficulty, ending up al
ways on the fair grounds. In this way
the public can be educated to the pos
sibilities with good dogs on the
ground early and ready for action.
Several Mississippi owners have given
the proposition their endorsement,
and it is likely that no less than half
a dozen packs from this state will
compete for the purses. 1t is desired
to give local dogs an opportunity of
showing what they can do under vary
ing circumstances.
Within the past few days parties
outside the State realize the import
ance of the proposition and have re-
quested that they be allowed to enter
dogs for the races. The proprietor
of a private detective agency at New
Orleans desires to enter two pairs,
Buck and Bill and Rex and Jip, these
dogs having made splendid records
in the past. A proposition by the
management has been made that if as
many as three contestors will enter, a
special purse will be offered for dogs
from outside the state. 1t is expected
that with Sheriff Tate's dogs from
Union county that they have tracked
down many criminals, Cullen & Hill
ers magnificent pair of English blood
hounds from Oxford that have rec
ord unbeaten, together with several
other packs from the State, the event
will prove an educational one worthy
of consideration. Then, if McMa
hon s dogs from New Orleans, Sillers
from Montgomery and others from
the outside came in, it will be well
worth coming many miles to see. At
any rate, the proposition is being
strongly endorsed, and the event will
be one Of the best yet proposed by
the State Fair management. The in
terest already displayed insures its
success, and it is to be hoped that 9TH
ers will take the matter up i'll the fu
ture, adding greater interest as the
year grows older.

Strawberries were the first fruit to be

will prove perfect success, although
our people have never yet made the
business so very profitable. With a
