ARE THEY MISTAKES?

We have been keeping tab on the
Steele News of late, and while it is a
pretty good paper, we have been lit
tie skittish about reproducing some
very interesting items. We have
concluded to try the experiment, how
ever, and here goes:
"While John Foster was coming
down stairs the other night, he slipped
and bruised himself on the landing"
Newt Maxwell, while harnessing
a fractions horse, was kicked just
south of the corn crib. "
"While Will Niche was returning
home the other night he was attacked
by a savage dog and bitten four times
on the public square,"
Frank Hopking was playing with
a cat the other day, when the animal
scratched him on the veranda."
"a couple of fellows engaged in a
row at the depot the other day, and
one of them was shot in the melee.'

Profs. 3. S. Stearns and II. L.
Davidson, formerly of the Hayti
schools, attended the opening of our
schools Monday and encouraged their
former pupils and the new teachers in
their work. School opened with "A
good attendance. 1t being Labor Day,
and classifying principal work of the
day, school dismissed early. The
three new teachers beginning their
work are: Messrs O. l.. Hargrove of
Cape Girardeau. l.. Macon of Jack
son, and Mrs. Will Morris of Hayt
Misses Letitia Mcfarland of Hayti,
Lora Ellinghouse of Marble Hill and
Hazel Miller of Millersville, are in
their regular places.
Dunklin Democrat: a contract has
been made with company to sink a
prospect well for oil near Clarkton,
the contractors having made depos-
it with "a bank at Clarkton of $1,000,
guaranteeing the completion of the
work according to agreement. 1t will
be sulk 100 feet. All necessary ar.
rangements have been made for be-
ginning work and are now only await
ing the arrival of machinery, which
they expect in a few days.
Tuesday the four months old son Of
Mr. and Mrs. Lansing Belts of Pas
cola was buried at the Hayes ceme-
terry in this city. 1t seems very few
in Hayti knew of the death and many
were greatly surprised when they learn
ed that the interment had taken place.

We are in receipt of the program
for the Red Men barbecue and cele-
bration, at Steele, Saturday, Septem-
Der IL. We are confident that the
people of Steele will do their level
best to acquit themselves well on this
day, but the time is so short, the
prizes so small and the advertising so
limited that we fear some disappoint-
ment. AS we understand the matter,
the Steele tribe alone is getting up the
entertainment, and more in particu-
lar on this account we hope they will
have good day. 1t must be under
stood, however, that this is not the
same affair that was to be in Hayti,
and is not under the same manage
ment, and as matters now stand, we
suppose Hayti will abandon the idea
altogether. SO let every one lend
Steele helping hand and go and have
a good time.

OUR OLDEST TOWNS.

The Morehouse Hustler says that:
New Madrid is the Oldest town in
this part of the state. Charlottesville
is comparatively new. New Madrid
has 20O0 people and Caruthersville
5000. Did saloons make Caruthers-
vile? If SO, why didn't they also
make New Madrid? Conditions in
the two places are exactly the same?''
The above is remarkable only on
account of its misstatements. Caru-
thersville is one of the Oldest settle
ments in this part of the country, and
in times past there have been better
towns in Pemiscot county. The pres
ent advantage of Charlottesville lies
in the fact that it is wet and the coun-
ty dry, while New Madrid is in a wet
county. 1t cannot be denied that the
saloons have added greatly to the
population and business of Caruth-
ersville.

The city council at Chatfee has or
dered all weeds cut in that city, on the
streets and on front and rear lots.
But Hayti is going on record to let
the weeds grow. In our opinion, the
Hayti city authorities have made a
grave mistake this summer and one
that is ineXcusable, in failing to issue
"a general cleaning up order, which
would not cost the city anything, and
would mean so much for the beauty
and health of the town. Surely our
city authorities can issue an order,
and place themselves on record, if
nothing more.

John w. Mcfarland, collectors of
the revenues for PemiscOt county. is
the first person to renew twelve
month subscription to the Hayti Her
aid, which shows his confidence in the
paper. The paper is not quite twelve
months old and Johns subscription
had not expired. but John is prompt
and punctual, in business as well as
official matters, and prefers to be in
the advance rather than in the rear.
This explains his success in life and
his standing with the people.

Death Of Mrs. Rogers.

After few days illness from
what the physicians diagnosed as
paralysis of the throat Mrs. Ade-
line Rogers, the wife of Mr.. L. b.
Rogers died at her home near Latta
Wednesday night, aged 90 years.
Mrs. Rogers condition was not
considered alarming until short
while before her death and the
announcement that she had pass
ed away was a great shock to her
friends. Unable to take anv
nourishment her last hours were
full of pain and suffering but she
bore her atfliction with great
fol titude and passed into the great
beyond as calmly rs child falls
into peaceful Slumber.
In addition to large circle ot
friends she is mourncd by a hus-
band, Mr. Lot B. Rogers, and Il
number of sons and daughters
Those who survive her are: Ru.
fus Rogers of Winder, Ga, w.
{. Rogers of Bislopville and Mrs,
;. A. Mcmillan of Latta, DR.. Jak,
X. Rogers of Dillon, Fred r
Rogers of Atlanta, and Miss julia
Rogers of Latta, McIver and Nc.
keithan Rogers of Latta, Power
Rogers of Latta, Miss Ida Rogers
of Latta and Luther Rogers OF
Latta. She was sister of Judge
Townsend, of Union, Mrs. Eliza
Stackhouse of Little Rock, Mrs.
Claudia Townsend, of Lnmberton
and the late Mrs J. w. Dillon and
Mrs. A. X. Parham of Dillon.
She was conSecrated woman
having united "rSeli with the
Methodist church early life. The
lnterment was made at Dothan
Thursday afternoon and a large
concourSe of people gathered from
many different sections to paw a
last tribute to her memory.
She lived life full of activity
and usefulness and there are many
who mourn her death. None ever
entered her home without a warm
welcome nor left without feeling
the warmth of a genuine hospit-
ality, so characteristic of the De J.
pie OF her ancestry. Old age did not
destroy the charm of kind and
indulgent disposition, and while
she continued to enjoy h
society of her friends and child
rem, she. has for several years
realized that her active life was
over and with resignation awaited
the divine call from death unto life.
Peace to her ashes.

Daring Operation On Snake.

Charles Snyder, head keeper in
the reptile house at the New York
Zoolo gical Park, took his life in
his hands yesterday afternoon and
without assistance, performed a
surgical operation on Rex, the
deadly kiLg cobra. This was af-
ter more prudent and learned
scientists of the Zoo had decided
that the risk was too great to be
undertaken.
Rex has been in the possession OF
the Geological Society for nine
years and is one of its most valu-
able specimens. Five years ago
it nearly killed a keeper.
Several days ago a wen-like
swelling developed on the cobra S
neck and grew steadily worse.
Raymond L. Ditmars. curator,
realized that only a surgical oper-
alton would save the serpent. DR..
w. Reed Blair agreed, but both
decided that the snake was not
worth human life.
Snyder's opportunity came yes
terday. He had thrown a large
black snake into the glass front in
closure for the cobra's dinner.
Rex had difficulty in swallowing
1t had about half the smaller rep
tile down Its throat and seemed
helpless to get rid of the rest of it.
Figuring that Rex could not sting
to kill while in that predicament
Snyder seized scissors and a sea-
pei and slipped into the cage.
Rex was thrashing about in its
effort to get down the black, but
Snyder managed to stand astride
the snake just above his head, and
then with a few quick, deft cuts
and slashes the work was done.
Snyder jumped back through the
little door in the rear, which he
slammed just in time, for the CO.
bra had conquered the black Snake
and turned to kill the man who
had saved his life.
Scores of persons had witness
ed the operation without realiz.
ing that they were looking at a
man in imminent peril of death.
When Snyder told Di tmars, the
curator said: Man, you are
crazy; you have a wife and Eve
children. N. Y. World.

IS TERRITORY SHORT?
Prof. Colcock Completes
Survey of County Lines
Alleged to be Short and
Says His Figures Agree
with MIR. Wiswall's.

1t is officially announced through
the Marion Star that the New
County is dead. Prof. Colcock has
completed his surrey of the lines in
dispute but he has not made his re-
port to the governor. But the
Star newspaper which seems to be
on the inside, backed by Mr.. Wis
wall who seems to know every
foot cf Marion County Ike
Uncle Owen Jackson knows
the Bible, from kivcr to kiver, d"
says MIR. Wiswall's and Prof. Col
cocks figures tally, so that's the
end OF it. The New County has
been read out of the party"
without hearing. True, there is
the governor and an appeal NAV
be had to the supreme court, but
the verdict of the Star and Mr..
Wiswall has been rendered. They
say Marion docs not contain 900
square miles and that's the end of
1t. We must take our medicine
like little men and bow TO the
inevitable. But hcarken we. the
unbelieving of the tribes of Dillon
to the decree of thine enemy.
Says the Star:
Prof. II. Colcock came into Mar
ion with his surveying party Sat
urday from the lower part of the
county, and spent Sunday at the
Carmichael Hotel. AS has been
previously stated in the Star, he
came to Marion from Columbia
last Monday to survey a number of
lines to test the correctness of the
Handy & Beatty survey of the
county. which had been questioned
by the old county people, he hav-
ing been selected by the governor
to settle the matter.
The first line surveyed by
Prof. Colcock was the road from
Marion to Sandy Bluff on Little
Pee Dee river, then line South
from Gapway Cross Roads on this
line to Arial Cross Roads, thence
to Gallivants Ferry, and from
Arial Cross Roads to Dog
Bluff, reaching there Friday night.
Saturday morning a line across
the lower section of the county
was begun at Dog Bluff on the
Little Pee Dee River and survey
ed rs far as Eulonia on the God
frey's Ferry road. the surveyors
reaching there Saturday after
noon.
From this point Prof. Colcock
said the survey would be con-
tinued Monday morning to the
mouth of Catfish creek on the Great
Pee Dee river. He stated also
that while in the lower section of
the county it was his intention to
go into the extreme lower section
and run another line across the
the country from river to river,
after which he would probably
survey check line from Eulonia
to Marion before he surveyed the
line from Marion to the A. q. L.
railroad crossing on the Great
rec Dee river and other check
lines in the upper section of the
county.
of course, Prof. Colcock was
not asked for; nor did he express
an opinion as to how his work
would check with the Handy &
Beatty map, but it was stated by
Mr.. Howard Wiswall that all the
lines surveyed so far check almost
exactly with map which he had
made from surveys made by him
in 1909 and 1908. 1t was by
comparison of the Handy and
Beatty map with this one of Mr..
Wiswall's that it was discovered
that the Handy and Beatty map
had placed the two Pee Dee rivers
much farther apart than they
really are, thus claiming too much
territory.
That Mr.. Wiswalls work has
