CAN'T RELEASE
FATHER HOLTGRAVE
District Attorney Says Priest Will
Have to Remain in Jail Till Sent for
by IbervilIe Authorities.

NEW ORLEANS, August SIN re-
sponse to a request made on District
Attorney Adams that he ameliorate the
confinement of Father Holtgreve at
the First Precinct Station, the dis
trict attorney announced that he as
district attorney had no authority in
the premises and was not concerned
The arrest, the district attorney an
nounced, is one involving a fugitive
who is held by the police Of the par
ish On instructions by wire from the
sheriff of another parish.
Mr.. Adams made this announcement
in response to a call from an attorney
of this city who appeared as a friend
Of Holtgreve.
The same position was taken by
Inspector of Police O'Connor when
that official was approached by
friends of the fugitive priest today.
The inspector informed the callers
that he had no authority or no right
to ameliorate or show any liberties not
allowed other fugitives under the cir
cumstances. The arrest, he said, was
made on an order by telegraph from
Sheriff Brown, just the same as Sher
iff Brown would be compelled by his
oath of office to apprehend and hold
in confinement fugitive for the po-
lice or grand jury of Orleans par
ish.
Father Holtgreve's Imprisonment
will at best not be of long duration
as officers are expected from Plaque
mine on the evening train. The train
arriving here at $3.50 o'clock over the
Texas C Pacific may bring Sheriff
Brown with the requisition and the
indictments. This will make it pos
sible for Father Holtgreve to leave nj
once if he so desires.

Three RAILROADS Are
RAISED TO FIRST CLASS
Gulf and Ship Island, Frisco and Mo-
bile and Ohio Get Promote rand
Will Be Called Upon to Pay First
Class Rate.

JACKSON, Miss, August Sin
it's classification of railroads Tues
day the Mississippi Railroad Commits
sion made sufficient raises to in
crease the privilege taxes from that
source between $4,000 and $4,000, ana
struck rather hard and unexpected
blow to the Mobile and Ohio. Frisco
and Gulf and Ship Island roads by
raising them from the second to the
first-class, on their main lines.
The effect of these raises is to in.
crease their privilege taxes from
$16S71a to $22.5O per mile, an in
crease of s562h over the taxes they
have heretofore paid. A few of the
smaller roads were raised from the
third to the second class, increasing
their privileges from $40 to $116S7M
per mile.
The privilege taxes of railroads is
fixed by the legislature, and is not
subject to change by the commission.
The latter body, however, has the
power of fixing the classification, and
the effect is the same in the end, ex
cept that there is no medium ground
and they must be raised all the way
or none.
First class railroads already pay
from $500 to $4O0 per mile in ad val
loren taxes, and while the addition OF
a few dollars per mile will not look
big in the figures of any one county,
the increased revenue in the state will
be considerable, the ad vaiorem as
sessment having been increased at
the last meeting of the commission
about $2,5000OO, which will yield an
additional state tax Of $150,OO0, with
about an equal amount for the vari-
out counties and proportionate amount
for each municipality through which
the railroads run.

GRATIFYING news
FOR The FARMERS
Little Bugs Which Were Brought to
the City Few Days Ago Were Sent
to StarkviIIe for Examination by Mr..
Harmed.

The News is now in position 10
state positively that there are no boil
weevils in Forrest county.
On last Tuesday Mr. S. E. Graham,
one of the most progressive and sub
stantial farmers in this section, who
resides at Eatonville, called at the
News offive and exhibited dozen or
more specimens of small bugs (which
he confidently believed to be Mex
ican boil weevils, and stated that his
father, who had just returned from
Texas and had examined the insects
there, was of the same opinion. Tho
bugs were exhibited generally about
the city and much uneasiness was felt
as a result.
When Mr.. Graham called at the
News office, he was advised to send
some of the insects to the Agricul-
tural College at Starkville for exam
ination, and acting upon this sugges-
tion the First-National Bank of Com
merce, through Mr.. Foote, Immediate
ly dispatched a specimen to Mr.. r.
W. Harmed, the entomologist there,
with the request to wire his opinion
as soon as the examination had been
made. The answer was received to-
day and conveyed the information
that the bugs were just the ordinary
common COW pea pod weevil.
So many false and misleading re-
ports of the appearance of the boil
weevil in various sections of the state
have been sent out recently that the
farmers have nearly all become so
interested in the matter that every
bug which is found on the cotton plant
is mistaken for the boil weevil, and
for this reason the News preferred to
keep quiet about Mr.. Graham's dis
covery until it was in position to make
"a reliable statement on the subject.
The boil weevil does not bore the
boil after it has matured, as is com
comfy supposed by those not familiar
with the insect. 1t merely deposits it's
eggs in the square and saps its vi
tality before the boil is matured, caus-
ing it to drop off, the insects Matching
after the square has fallen.
The News does not think there is any
necessity for alarm in this county, for
if the boil weevil should appear now,
it will be too late in the season for
it to accomplish much harm, as the
boil is already formed and it is only
the square which the insect attacks.

ADVISED TO
USE HARROW
Department of Agriculture Gives Some
Good Advice to Mississippi Cot
ton Growers.

JACKSON, August 5.--Acting under
instructions from DR.. s. A. Knapp,
general agent in charge of all field
work in the south, the Mississippi
agents of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, bureau of plant
industry, are earnestly advising the
farmers Of the state to harrow their
cotton before crops are laid by A
circular letter is being sent out to all
farmers who adopted the cultural
method of cotton growing and it is as
follows:
ON account of the extremely heavy
rains and the lateness OF the cotton
crop it is very important that the
cultivation and narrowing of cotton
extend through the month of August,
for by this method you will be able to
hasten the growing and maturing of
the crop.
While it is neither advisable or
necessary to plow the land, it is nc
essary that you cultivate and harrow
shallow at least every ten days
through August to prevent the ground
from getting hard or cracking open in
event of dry wether, and if wet, to
prevent a crust from forming.
The heavy rains have made the
ground hard and cloddy and tied the
the plant food that is necessary for
the cotton plant.
When the cotton gets too large for
the cultivator then harrow the middle
of the row so as to retain sufficient
moisture, thereby having a better
show for crop. The price of your cot
ton crop promises to be 10 cents per
pound or better this fall. At this price
you can well afford to give the crop
your very best efforts"

Fighting FOR
The ALEXANDRIA
Moors Said to be Waging a Holy War
to Reconquer Grenada and Regain
the .AIhambra.

MELILLA, Morocco, August o.
News reached here today of another
battle between the Spaniards and the
Moors. A Spanish commissary con-
voy was attacked and driven back by
the Moors. Reinforcements soon came
up, however, and the fight was renew
ed, this time with the Spaniards vic
torious. The general uprisings and
heavy enlistments on the part of the
Moors was regarded as surprising un-
til it was learned that the riffs are
preaching a holy war against Spain.
They are reyiving the old legend ac-
cording to which the Riff Arabs who
are direct descendants of the .Moors
driven out of Spain by Isabella snd
Ferdinand are destined to clear the
Spaniard out of Africa, cross over to
Spain and reconquer the country over
which Boabail, the last king of Gre
NADIA ruled. Every Riff family is be-
ing blessed by the priests and told
that the time for the fulfilment of
this legend is now at hand and are
being urged to enter the war to e.
gain the Alhambra.

THINK They
have FOUND
LOST GRAVE
Believed to Be the Burying Place of
Col. James C. Wilson, One of the
Signers of independence Dec
laration.

DECATUR, Ala, August 5.-What
is believed to be the grave of Colonel
James C. Wilson, one of the signers
of the Declaration of independence,
which has been searched for by the
United States government without re
ward, has just been found by his two
grandsons, P. R. Hutson, of New De
catur, and Melvin Hutson, a prominent
young lawyer of Cullman, Ala.
Some time ago the government ap-
propriated a sum of money for the
purpose of erecting a handsome mon.
ument over the grave of Colonel Viii
son, but the monument up to this time
has never been erected from the fact
that all trace of the grave had been
lost and no one was able to find it, A
few days ago the two Hutson brothers
went to Kentucky to visit the old home
and the scenes of their childhood
days. On the banks of the Ohio river
in Livingston county, Kentucky, be-
meath the shadows of a mighty pop.
lar tree, they found a grave which
they found a grave which they are
confident is that of their grandfather
Colonel James c. Wilson.
The matter will be reported to the
government and a further investiga.
ton will be made with a view to
proving that this is the long lost grave
Of Colonel Wilson.

WOMAN MADE
S4OO. FROM
One ACRE
Resident of North Mississippi Town
Writes Interesting Letter Telling
Her Experience.

The following letter, written by
Mrs. M. L. Porter, of Winona, Miss,
to The Southern Ruralist will be inter-
esting to truck gardeners.
Il have an acre in garden on a
southern slope to south of house and
well drained. The soil has yellow clay
subsoil and was considered about worn
out four years ago. Last year we sold
$4O0 worth of vegetables from it, my
husband going twice a week four
miles to market with them and other
farm products.
1--WE had abundance of fresh vege-
tables for our family of seven the
whole year; I canned four hundred
cans of tomatoes, beans, and okra. We
spent $27 for fertilizer, plants, seed
and little labor. In addition we used
twenty loads of manure from our COW
barn, all the hardwood ashes we made
and manure from weekly cleanings of
poultry houses, and all other refuse
from about the yard. am keeping an
account of every hour either of us
spend working garden this year.
"The pleasure of watching the little
plants grow, and seeing the red ground
getting blacker together with the
healthful exercise, cannot be esti.
mated in dollars and cents.
"It is hard to say when the garden
ing season begins in this section, as
we are continually planting and sell
ing. We raise truck for the home
market only.
"As soon as the ground is dry
enough, after frost kills the fall beans
and tomatoes, the ground is plowed
open, barnyard manure applied in fur
rows, long shovel run as deep as
possible in center of furrow and on
each side, thoroughly mixing manure
with soil; the ground is then bedded
on this.
"The first favorable weather in Jan
uary knocked off top of rows, run a
furrow with hand plow and set cab
bage plants in this open furrow, which
protects alike from cold and the heat
of sun. Last spring a large percent
age of my cabbage was headed hard
by April 81. also plant and set beets
in open furrow in January, and treat
very much as cabbage.
"I have a corner in the garden made
in we'll drained bed containing about
three hundred and fifty square feet
that plant in onions as early in the
fall as can get rain, the falls here
usually being hot and dry. I cultivate
these entirely with wheel hoes and
cultivators. I plant the small quar-
tity of lettuce needed in a bed in
protected sections along fence, setting
some between early cabbage for head
! ing.
"I plant garden peas from January
until March. Plant beans, butter.
beans, both dwarf and pole. as soon
as ground is warm enough for seeds
to germinate; also olSra, cucumbers
squash and other vegetables.
"As soon as the ground is cleared
of early cabbage it is prepared for
fall beans without other fertilizing
The onion bed being planted some
what earlier gives midsummer beans.
"The early bean and pea rows arc
prepared for winter cabbage. I begin
planting these early in July and an
tinue until middle of August. Beets
planted in August or September are
fairly successfu;l tomatoes may be
planted as late as June 10"

He WAS NOT WANTED
Story Arouses Much Indignation at
Ethel, Where the Alleged Indienities
Were Offered-Said That Preacher
Placed His Arms Around Negroes.

ETHEL, Miss, August 5.-Much in
dignation was caused today as a result
of the dispatch from Cincinnati, stat
ing the story of Rev. Frank B. Eng
lish, who claims that he was threat
ened with mob violence and driven out
of Ethel.
The leading citizens of Ethel ad
NIT that Mr.. English was told to
leave town, but say that this was not
done until he was seen placing his
arm around the negroes necks. and
committing other acts which they be
lieved would be calculated to excite
the blacks and stir up race strife.
No Mob Formed.
They say that no mob was formed
and thta if the minister had left when
told all they would have done would
have been to place him on the first
train which arrived and sent him away
They say no violence was threat
ened, but that Mr.. English became
very much frightened when approached
by several of them who told him it
would be best for him to leave.
Another dispatch from Holly
Springs states that Mr.. English told
the faculty at Rust University that he
would not accept the presidency of the
institution because the Freedman's
Aid Society. which acts as it's super.
visory board, would not furnish ex
perienced teachers.
