HOW GREAT MEN EAT.

Former President Arthur was Pc
culiar eater. At one time he stop
ped at a famous hotel in the Catskills,
but before arriving there he held the
party for some time while he caught
several trout from mountain stream.
President Arthur insisted on going to
the kitchen of the hotel where he
looked after the cooking of his trout.
He ordered the amount of butter to
be placed in the pan for the fish and
remained with the cook during the
entire process. President Arthur al
ways looked after the cooking of his
fish when in a resort where he Lad
never been before.
It is claimed that President IIarri-
son was the plainest eater of all the
presidents. He often ate scrambled
eggs and ham and sometimes called
for nothing but bread and milk. Mar
shall Field was another very plain
eater. John d. Rockefeller enjoys oys-
ter soup and is not a lover of expen-
sive dishes. He eats graham bread "a
hours old and is very fond of vege.
tables.
One of those who kept the owners
of hotels busy when he wished to dine
was Pierre Lorillard, who was a great
lover of diamond-back terrapin. He
always wanted the finest in the mar
ket and often went himself to pick out
his victim. He is known r. f~"c paid
800 for a single diamoAd-Such ter

VICKSBURG, Miss, August 49, -
What will probably be the first test
case of the locker system as now
practiced in Mississippi, will come
up before Judge Waggoner next Tues
day morning. This morning about
1890 o'clock Chief of Police Groome
and Captain JoJseph Lauderdale ar
rested John Schwab at his place OF
business in the old l.. Hibou stand on
North Washington street, and charged
Mr.. Schwab with unlawful retailing.
The place is known as the Vicks-

burgers belonging to the club.
Attorney R. L. C. Barrett has been
retained to defend Mr. Schwab. Mr..
Barrett says the club has been con-
Quoted strictly on the locker plan sys

dividual locker and a key to the loci.
er, and of course nothing is sold at
the club. The attorney SEATED that Mr..
Schwab merely rented space to the

MATINEE At

Judge Davis Held Lively ana inter

This Morning and Made a Few
Dollars for the City.

On entering the city hall this morn

thought that he was in some arsenal,
for all over the table lay all sorts OF
apparatus that would help an officer

J a crazy man could have done nothing
All sorts of guns, both American and
foreign manufacture, handouts, bill
lies, clubs, insane belts and all such.
1t certainly didn't look like a court

that was new coon. But the hopes
OF all died when Mary Ford, his part.

Mary Is a yellow coon and is always in

very much put out at the way George

vice in some respects was good but
did not go far enough for each had TO

A fight cost one of our citizens ten

fight the case, a plea of guilty was
entered, the fine imposed and paid.
Jessie Manning next told just why
he happened to have a concealed
"weepon" on his person at late hour
last night. And the reason he as
serted was, first that he came from
Kemper county, whereupon Judge
Davis asked Mr.. Moore if he thought
the fact of a man coming from KAN
per county was sufficient reason for
a man to go armed in the city of Hat
tiesburg? This got the coon to sec
that he had told a thin story and then
he put up the story of Getting a fell

his person last night thinking that he
might get a chance to see the fellow"
Judge Davis thought it would be ben

time to weep over his loss of both gun

For the past several months the

the fact that this has been accom-

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
THE 4eET BUSY" SPIRIT.

That the business men of Hatties
burg are thoroughly awake to the
suggestion of any idea which has a
tendency to create better business
moral and social conditions in this vi
cinity was emphatically evidenced
last night at the joint meeting of the
Commercial Club and the Retail Mer-
chants Association, when the "Hatties-
burg Idea of developing the agricul-
tural resources of this section were dis
cussed by Mr.. H. A. Camp, Mr. Smith
of the Northeastern Railroad and
Mayor Donald.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and was largely attended by bus
mess men and private citizens, and
the concensus of opinion was that now
is the time to get busy on the immi-
grafton question. Mr.. Camps talk
was particularly optimistic, and his
Endorsement of the movement will
have a great deal to do with the sue
cess OF the undertaking, and IL MS eX-
ample should be emulated by more citi-
zens of his class and standing in South
Mississippi, the time would not be far
distant when such a thing as hard
times would be unknown the pessimist
be forced to migrate and give place
to the man who does things.
The time has come when the man
who complains of his circumstances is
an undesirable commodity, and his
hard luck stories are compelled to go
begging for want of sympathetic audi
tors. The man who blames others for
his misfortunes will soon be compelled
to seek more congenial company, for

as the home of the optimist, the man

TARIFF AIDS THE CHURCHES.
Settlement Of the Question Means
More Contributions.

| More Contf buttons
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 13.-
1t is a well recognized fact that
churches prosper as the country pros
pers. and for this reason churchmen
are jubilant over the settlement of the
tariff question. To them it means more
substantial contributions from wealthy
tcommunicants, large collections, larger
requests. more new churches and par
ish buildings, and an impetus to
church activities all along the line.
AS an illustration of what a prolong-
ed season of business depression
means to the churches, the name of
one wealthy business man is mention
ed whose contributions to church work
decreased from 100000 a year in the
golden years" following 1900, to $780,
600 year during the panicky period
of 1907 and 1908.
In a similar manner the contribu-
tions of men who could afford to give
only one-twentieth as much as this
generous millionaire, have dwindled
under the influence of business de-
preston.
The Rev. DR.. William Henry Roberts
Stated Clerk of the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church. predicted
a new era of prosperity for the
churches.
II am glad as an American citizen
that the tariff question las been tenn
porarily settled" said DO tor Roberts.
1T is the one economic matter which
above 81 others is related to the pros
perity cf the comtry. | believe that
the new tariff viii promote that pros
perity, and, Of course, it will promote
the prosperity of the churches as well
as of ether interests.
THE American churches differ from
churches in European countries in
that their support comes from the
Many uroEpean churches are supported
Many European churches are supported |
by taxes levied by the state and taxes

But in this country the financial
condition of the churches is absolutely |
dependent upon the prosperity of the
people, and it is matter of sincere
for Presbyterians that |

.SQUATTERS
EVIC'PBD
ITINERARY AND BUSINESS OF
LAND COMMISSIONER PRATT ON
ISLAND CJF HAWAII

Giving notice to squatters on the
government land of Ma1aoku, Waia-
kea, Hilo, to make their presence in
visible was part of the business Land
Commissioner Pratt did at Hilo on his
recent visit to that town. There were
only four or five of them. natives and
move off within a reasonable time, say
thirty days. The reason for this evic-
| ton is that the Legislature of 1909
set apart portion of the land for a
public park, to be known as Kauikeao-
uli Park in honor of Kamehameha III.
Although Mr.. Pratt and the Governor
left here and returned together, being
absent for two weeks, they Travelled
separately most of the time on the big
island.
Besides paying his respects to the
| squatter-some of whom a Hilo paper
says will fight him on the matter, Com
missioner Pratt attended to routine
business at the sub-land Office in Hilo.
In the latter part of the first week
Mr.. Pratt went up TO the Volcano
House, working back to the lands of
the Kilauea Settlement Association
near % - miles, and to what are
i known as the Oaa summer lots from
20 Miles up. His purpose was to see
if the settlers on these tracts were COM
plying with the conditions. He also
| vic
Oard for which applications had been
filed.
From Puma district Mr. Pratt went
over to Kau district, being joined at
Waiohinu by two surveyors, and with
them and the sub-land agent of the
district accompanied Governor Frear
on a visit to the Kamaoa lands adj
joining Waiohinu, applications for
which have been on file for some time.
South Kona was next visited by the
Commissioner who looked into various
matters of timber, school and church
lands there Then he proceeded to
North Kona. where he spent but one
night leaving Kailua with the Cover
nor for home yesterday morning.
Asked what was going to become
of the Land Office after June 80 Mr.
Pratt replied:
Il do not know-so far as ! am
concerned The Legislature appro-
priated no salary for separate head
of the department, but placed the
duties of the Office with those of the
Superintendent of Public Works"
