NUT GROWING
IN THE SOUTH

4 Pecan culture in the Southeastern
States, particularly in Georgia and
Eastern Alabama, has passed the ex-
detrimental stage, and is now a we'll
established and flourishing industry.
Not only are groves of several years
growth paying handsomely, but new
trees are being seRrout by the hun
dreds throughout. all that seton APP
parently best adapted to the cultiva-
ton Of this delightful article of COM
merce.
While this is all well enough, of
course, and to be encouraged, it is
strange that the South should never
have been moved to exploit its own
most tempting and daintily delicious
Of all nuts-the scaly-bark hickory
nut.
There is something in it's line wor.
thy and well qualified, indeed, and yet
seemingly destined to purely local ap-
probation only. Its shell is as brittle
and as paperish as the most highly cul.
fivated pecan to be found anywhere,
and its kernel is of a melting and
pleasing toothsomeness, never. to be
understood unless eaten. 1t grows on

4 new INDUSTRY
WAS INCORPORATED
Governor Noel Has Authorized the
Charter Of the Baton Rouge 4
GuIfport Railroad Company.

| Special to The Nea1s.
| Jackson, Miss, Dec. 14.-Governor
Noel yesterday afternoon issued his
proclamation authorizing the incor-
poration of the Baton Rouge & Gulf.
port Railroad Company, with William
H. Louisell and T. M. Stevens, of Mo-
bile, Ala, and J. |. Ford, of Scranton,
Miss, as incorporators.
The proposed terminal points of the
road are indicated in the name, and
the proposed line is to cross the state
line between Mississippi and Louisi-
ana at point between Picayure and
Bogalusa, passing through the coun-
ties of Pearl River, Hancock and Har-
rison.
In the application it is set forth
that the incorporators now own 49,
900 acres of virgin pine lands in lower
Pearl River county, and will establish
large mill between the river and
the New Orleans Great Northern rail-
| road, using both water and rail for
transportation of their products.
They urge early action upon the Pc
tition, in order that work may be
commenced on the construction of a
part of the road, since this must be
built before it will be possible to
transport materials for the construc-
ton of the mill. Another reason for
the hurry-up order is that they have
$4,000 worth of downtown timber
which will be lost if not worked upon
soon.
The Baton Rouge end of the line is,
apparently, left for the future, when
it is hoped to complete it, but in ad-
dftion to the eastern end of this pro-
posed road, the incorporators expect
to construct lengthy logging road,
which is not to be considered as a
common carrier.

ARTHUR JOHNSON
REDUCING Weight

Boiling Arthur Johnson, lecturer
playwright, humorist, organizer ant
founder Of the Hoo-Hoo, and known
far and wide over the United States
is fasting. For 16 days his stomach
has been stranger to food. For five
more days he must go hungry, and
then he can partake of one baked ap
pie and a piece of buttered graham
bread.
Mr.. Johnson is under treatment by
an eminent specialist Each year for
long while he has been growing in
circumference, and a few weeks ago
when he was asked to act as pail
bearer at funeral he had difficulty
in getting through the church aisles.
Then and there he resolved to 20
into training.
Under the directions of the physi-
clan he must partake of no solid food
for 20 days. At the same time he
gives himself teaspoonful of color
less medicine, and between times he
may drink-water only. By this means
he says he has reduced his weight
20 pounds.
Mr.. Johnson is now in Houston.
where he is well known and has a
wide circle of friends. From them his
changed appearance attracted atten,
ton. His clothes hung in folds and
his rotund form looked attenuated.

Store DIRECTORY
ON SMALL CARD

New York, Dec. 14.-Just inside
each of the main street entrances OF
one of New Yorks department stores
the shopper discovers in a conspicu-
GUS position fiat wire basket filed
with cards. Having complied with the
printed invitation to take one. he finds
himself provided with miniature d.
rectory of the establishment.
Perhaps no more striking evidence
of the expansion Of modern shopkeep-
ing methods has been so concisely
conveyed The card is scarcely larg-
er than a womans visiting card. 1t is
thin, but strong, and the corners are
rounded so that it will not poke holes
in pocket Innings nor become untidy
itself by getting crumpled.
There are III items in the directory.
and yet the store in question is more
strictly dry goods establishment
than many of its class. 1t has no pro-
visions department, no dentist chairs,
Photographic studio manicuring room
or similar manifestations of up-to-date
mercantile methods.
Every letter in the alphabet except
two is represented on the card. Only
the letters @ and X do not appear.

either or both in the store, they are
perhaps sufficiently catalogued under

dies As FORTUNE
IS WITHIN GRASP
Veteran Spends Lifelong Quest for
Gold Stolen From Him fn
His Youth.
(Spokane Review.)

When Henry Golfer died in a board
ing house in Newark few days ago
the only people with whom he was &C.
quainted simply thought that another
war veteran had passed away and
they never suspected that the old man
had, for nearly thirty years, been on
the trail of a large fortune that was
supposed to have been bequeathed to
him under extraordinary circumstan-
ces, but the possession of which elud-
ed him up to the time of his DEATH.
Golfer went to Portland Ore, when
he was young man and engaged in
the wholesale grocery business with a
partner named Lane. The firm pros
pered and began to make money rapid
ly. The partners decided to deposit
their money in a bank in San Fran
cisco, and one day Golfer took the
steamer from Portland carrying q
satchel that contained $4,000 in gold
to put in the San Francisco bank.
The bag was placed under Golfers
berth, and when a day or SO after the
steamer left Portland Golfer was
taken down with chargers fever he
confided the care of the satchel to a
young man he met on the boat. The
outh was also stricken with the fever,
and during the illness Of both the bag
of gold disappeared.
AS subsequent events proved. the
money was stolen by Brazilian who
was on the boat, who made good his
escape and went to South America.
When Golfer recovered he made his
way to New York. He had a notion
that he might be able to locate the
thief in New York, but his quest
failed and he went back to Portland.
When the civil war broke out he en-
listed, and served with distinction in
many battles, After the war he lived
Tor time in a soldiers home, but oil
late years had been receiving q pen
sion from the government, upon which
he lived comfortably and saved
enough to provide for a funeral.
The Brazilian who stole Golfers
money died about thirty years ago
leaving a large fortune, accumulated
on a sugar plantation in the Sotuh,
that he had bought with the stolen
money. When he was dying he made
an open confession of the injury he
had done Golfer, and asked that the
sum of 100000 be set aside from his
estate and that it be turned over to
Golfer.
Golfers sister is now engaged in al
effort to trace up the bequest Of the
Brazilian, and if this work is success
full Mrs. Fleming who is over 70 years
of age, will come into the fortune that
should have helped to brighten the
last days of her brothers life. q

HORRIBLE DEATH
OF JACKSON man
Supposed to Have Been Killed by a
Train, Remains Were Ground Into
Thousands Of Pieces.


Special to The Neps.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 14.-In an ordi
nary goods box, about two by three
feet, the mangled remains of Charles
l.. King were brought to this city yes
terday afternoon from Nogn, the juno
ton of the Illinois Central and New
Orleans Great Northern roads, four
miles south of here, and are now at
Hardy's undertaking establishment
awaiting advices from his relatives at
Des Moines, Ia, where he formerly
lived.
Just how King was killed and his
body ground into pieces so small that
one whole arm was the largest single
Piece will probably never be known,
beyond the knowledge that the lnang-
ling was done by some passing train
Saturday night or Sunday morning.
Late Saturday night he was seen
near his boarding house in the north
ern part of the city, and separated
from companion on street cross
ing. He is believed to have been
drinking at the time, and the gener-
ally accepted theory is that he wan
dered down into the railroad yards,
caught an outgoing freight train, and
in some way fell under the cars, where
he was found about 100 yards north
Of the junction point. 1t is possible
he fell asleep and was shaken from
his place by the stopping or starting
of the train on which he was riding.
King was an itinerant timer, and
had been here but a few months. He is
said to have been here each winter
for the past four or five years, and to
have migratory habits, spending his
winters south and his summers north.
He was apparently between 80 and 35
years of age, and carried a member
ship card in the Timers Union, issued
by the Kansas City, Mo-, local. 1t was
this card which served to identify
him. but his clothing and part of
one side of his face enabled persons
here who knew him to make sure of
the identity.
A telegram to the secretary of the
Kansas City union brought the infor-
nation that his relatives live in Des
Moines, and that they had been noti-
fed of his death.
King has been employed for some
time in the local tin shop Of Ray
Wright, and is the man who a week
ago was placed in the city jail on a
charge of being drunk, and who on the
following day preferred charges
against City Jailer Farley before the
police committee of the city council,
alleging that he had been badly beat
en- up in the jail while a prisoner.
The matter went before the city
council, and King appeared before
that body and made a statement last
Tuesday, when the matter was re-
ferred back to the police committee.
This afternoon was fixed for a formal
hearing, and It is stated that the death
of King will not interfere with the
hearing. JaiIer Farley makes the de-
Tense that King abused him and used
language toward him such as no man
would submit to.
