Death of Mrs. Mary 4. King.

On March 31St death visited our
midst and took from us Mrs. Mary
A. King. She leaves four sons to
mourn her death-R. w. King, of
Oakway; J. w. King, Of Portman;
II. II. King, of Tokeena, and f. ID.
King. Of Bachelor. One son preced-
ed her to the grave. She was
Christian lady and was loved by all
who knew her. She had been
member of the church for forty-five
years, and was a devout member of
the Wesleyan Methodist church at
Oakway. She was eighty-one years
of age at her death. Her remains
We're inferred at the Wesleyan ceme-
terry on the day following her de-
mise, in the presence of large con-
course of relatives and friends. F'u-
neral services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. j. T.. Mason.
We extend to the bereaved family
our heartfelt sympathy in their sore
aiilictiOn. 1t is indeed a trying or
deal to give up a mother, but it is
comforting to know that she is rest
ing safely in the arms of Jesus from
all earthly cares, there awaiting.
some sweet day, to meet the loved
ones left behind. A Friend.

LARGER ACREAGE
 FOR SUGAR CANE Farmers of Mississippi Find
 That Crop Pays We'll PLANTER BREAKS RECORD Plenty of Cocaine Fiends Are Report ed in Jackson-Fernwood Lumber Company Is Trying To Break
 Up Blind Tigers.
PLANTER BREAKS RECORD

Jackson, Miss, January 1S.-(Special)- The prospect is that Mississippi farmers are going to devote a larger acreage to sugar cane this year than ever before, having discovered in their evening of life that no other crop pays so well per acre. and that there is no trouble in disposing of the goods at home or abroad.
 The country press has been filled dur ing the past three or four months with notices of large yields of molasses per acre, many of the farmers having report ed more than 800 gallons per acre, and sales at 50 to 75 cents per gallon for all they had to spare.
 It remained, however, for w. H. Ty- Ter of Attalla county. to break the record, so far as seen, on molasses production having made 764 gallons from a measured acre and a half. He tells of his manner of planting and cultivating, as well as fertilizers used-confining himself to 45 bushels of cottonseed at planting time and 800 pounds of cotton meal at the last blowing. He has planted this same piece of land to cane three years in succession. In 1906 he made 270 gallons, in 1907 he made 660 gallons on an acre and half and last year got 764 gallons on the same piece.

 The company now has nine producing gas wells and is going down double shift for deeper strata and higher pressure.
 It now has put on the market a splendid land addition lying in West Huntsville adjoining the corporate limits of the old city on which are producing gas wells. These lots are at practically wholesale prices, payable 10 per cent cash and 5 per cent monthly
 When the deeper strata Is reached, which will only be short while. a boom in the price of these lots must and will follow as day follows night; the company wants gas consumers, not land profits. Buy now and get the benefit of the boom profits.

The assertion of the chief of police of Birmingham to the effect that there are 1000 cocaine fiends in that city has been printed and commented on as extensively as was the assertion of the chief of police of this city year ago that he did not doubt there were 300 blind tigers, or places where whisky or beer, or both, could be bought.
 The tiger evil has been reduced some- what no doubt, since that time, but they are yet here in great numbers While the unlawful sale of whisky has decreased 1t is probable that the sale of cocaine has increased. There are not anything like 1000 acoke" fiends in Jackson, but there are entirely too many of them. Now and then one runs amuck and gives the police all kinds of trouble. These hends are in the great majority of cases negroes, and try as they may the police have never yet been able to sweat out of one of them the name of the seller of the stuff.
