WORD PAINTING OF AN OIL PICTURE.
Oil Fever Has Struck Long Beach, and the
Radish Growing Industry Might Pale Into lnsig-
nificance Track Gave First Clew as to
the Existence of Oil.

Long Beach, ourneighbor on the East,
the burg the radish has made famous,
has or will strike oil, for it is apparent
the oil nas already struck Long Beach,
but all these years the fact seems to be
one unknown, until bovine in its daily
perambulations over the town roaming
the streets, as the stock do unmolested
in Bay ST. Louis, seeking the best cared
gardens, for the delectation Of its gas
tromic propensities, created COW path,
and resident on the oil path, struck it
and was soon on the trail.
A correspondent residing at Long
Beach tells coil" the tale as follows:
The property holders in the Mills Ave-
nue. and Wright Avenue neighborhood
are awakening to the fact that possibly
oil may be underlying their truck gar
dens and fields. There has been talk OF
oil for two or three years, but it was
looked upon as possibly real estate
venture, backed up by, possibly, an oily
substance exuding from pine roots, but
it is beginning to look as though there
was something more in it than mere
boom imitation. s'st
Gulfport has claimed all the honor,
butt few gushers are brought IN Long
Beach will come in for full share, for
the prospective field is on the line that
divides the two towns. Of course, it
was GuIfport man who hrst discovered
the oil indications, and it was Gull
port enterprise that enlisted the neces-
sary capital and secured an expert TO
examine the ground and had the oily

Worthy Compliment to Bay St. Louis Resident.

Il
At the recent meeting Of the State
Teachers Association, held at Jackson
during the absence of Hen. w. w
Stockstill, who was unable to attend
the following highly complimentary
resolutions, which are self-explanatory
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. w. w. Stockstill, formerly
superintendent of education of Hancock
county, has decided to give up school
work and adopt the law as profession,
and. whereas, we recognize IN Mr'
Stockstill one of the ablest men who
ever held that Office, one who was hon.
est. able and fearless and who wrought
nightly for the educational upbuilding
of his State and county, and
Whereas, we desire to express our ap-
probation of the labors Of Prof. Stock
still and to wish him success in his new
work;
Therefore, be it resolved by the county
superintendents, assembled at the state
Teachers Association Convention at
Jackson, April 29th-May l., 'O2, that
a copy of these resolutions be furnished
Prof. Stockstill, and that they be
spread on the minutes OF this meeting.
Mr.. Stockstill has been actively iden-
titled with the educational interests OF
Mississippi. He attended the first meet
ing of the State Teachers Association
in 1902, and made speech on report OF
Rural School Committee that received
the commendation of such men as ex-
State Supt. of Education j. R. Preston,
especially that part dealing with exami-
nations and election of county superin-
tendents.
Invited to accept place on program,
and read paper at Vicksburg meeting,
1908, on Consolidation of Rural Schools,
which is published in the proceedings
for that year; organized county super
intendent department at Meridian, in
1904. Prior to this, superintendent
had been meeting informally at sugges-
ton of State superintendent.
On account of his being one of the
few county superintendents who had
made an effort to grade his schools in
the spring of 1905, when the committee
on course of study for rural schools was
to report, Mr.. Stockstill was invited by
the general president to lead the discus
sion, and read a paper on ''The value OF
the Course to the One Teacher SCHOOL, |,
which was published in the proceedings
for that year.
Elected chairman county superinten-
dent department at the Gulfport meet
ing in 1907.

substance found, analyzed and tested; ;
hence the honor really does belong to
Gulfport, even if the profits should be
shared with Long Beach.
June Is is the day set for beginning
to sink the oil shaft. The one in charge
who proposes to bring in the gusher is
one of years of experience in the Penn
sylyania oil fields and the one who has
been so successful at Jennings, La, in
developing the oil fields. The company
that has been organized is on very safe
basis. 1t is a transposition of the old
saw, 'sNothing venture, nothing win, !"
and is "Nothing venture, nothing lose" !"
The company, it seems, will not be out
anything if oil is not found in paying
quantities. If oil is found in paying
quantities the expert is to get a good
round sum, which is to be determined
according to the how OF oil.
The property owners round about the
prospective field are not selling or offer
ing their lots for sale, but awaiting de-
velopments. Of course, the matter is
being discussed not little, but as yet
the excitement is not running high, al
though every indication points to good
thing.
The story OF the discovery of oil, if oil
it is, is rather picturesque. A gentle
man living there or nearby, who is sup"
on oil, discovered what he believed to be
oil in a cow track. He filled bottle
with the liquid and had itanalyzed. The
test was as he expected. Lest some
trick had been played he took other
samples of the oily liquid which were
even more satisfactory than the first.
He then set about organizing company
but this was uphill work. He kept at it
until a good strong company was organ
lied and work is in progress looking
to the development of oil is to he had in
having quantities,

 There is, however, to be recognized. on the other side of question, the immense interests, involved, the total investments iu brewing and distilling business in the United States being S612, 57l, ,55s, and their contribution in federal revenues alone last year being S301124,099, am increase over the previous year of over Sl0o0o,0o0.

cOLLARLESS COAT FOR MEN.
Designer Tells Of New Garment to Be
Worn Next Summer.

Designer Tells Of New Garment to Be
Worn Next Summer.
The collarless coat is to be correct
style in mems attire for the coming
spring and summer. Waistcoats with
out backs will be worn also, accord
Ing to the designer for a downtown tai
loring firm In Kansas City.
1.-THE coat without collar II an ideal
garment for warm weather" said the
designer to a reporter of the Kansas
City Star. ut is especially adaptable
for the Office man who doesn't care to
remove his coat In business hours.
The absence of a lapel from around
the neck and shoulders makes the coat
much lighter. 1t does away with the
double thickness of the cloth. How
ever, the coat is not for Office use only.
When made up in outing flannel it is
extremely nobby.
"A waistcoat that has loop arm
holes and Is connected across the back
by two inch strap is among the limo.
vations for the season. This garment,
like the collarless coat, Is designed pri-
marily for GOODNESS. The strap across
the back is Of thin material and will
hardly be felt. The loops for the
arms are Of the same material as the
strap and will not add much weight.
The waistcoat goes with the collarless
coat"
