DE-. Krauss' address.

DR.. VIM. Krauss. lean Of the
Medical Department of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi, who spent yes
terday in Brookhaven ais the honor
ed guest of the Tri-C County Medical
Association, addressed good-sized
audience at the Opera House last
night on the subject of Sanitation
and Sewerage, being introduced by
DIR. Dudley W.. Jones, president Of
the State Medical Association and
Secretary of the Tri-County Asso-
citation.
Dr. Krauss' address, which was
no doubt considerably abbreviated
because of the program of moving
pictures and other features Of the
evening which had preceded it, was
both entertaining and instructive.
The eminent speaker made it clear
and strong that no municipality of
1000 inhabitants or more. could
afford to do without sewerage on
the score of cost. Several exam
pies were cited to show that while
sewerage is not an absolute safe
guard against typhoid fever, it
greatly reduces its ravages. The
common house fly was pointed out
as the most dangerous propagator
of typhoid, once it is introduced
into a house or community. as cer-
tain varieties of mosquito have
been proved to be the greatest
propagators Of yellow fever and
malaria.
Scrupulous sanitation and the
screening of houses and even Of
barns and manure heaps, was
recommended to reduce the evils Of
the househy pest.
DR.. Krauss makes no pretensions
to oratory, but he is i pleasant and
entertaining talker.

Condition in wilkinson.

The Times-Democrat of Monday
had the following report on the
condition Of the cotton crop in Will
.kinson county, Miss, where the
boil weevil began his work as early
as the month Of May:
Woodville, Miss, Aug. 4.-Cot-
ton has improved within the past
month in a way that has given
heart to the farmers that have
worked their crops, and the gen
eral impression is that fully a SO OF
so per cent crop will be made on
the acreage. Where the boil wee
vii has been fought, there is now
nearly a half crop, with many
blooms and forms still on the cot
ton, and though the weevil is be-
ginning to affect all the cotton, its
presence is not felt nearly SO much
where continuous cultivation has
been done. Some planters claim to
have a full crop. Mr.. Johnson,
living only a short distance from
WoodvilIe, is said to have an un-
usually fine crop already made
Some plantations have cotton open
and the feeling is general that cot
ton can be made at a profit with
the boil weevil.
Heavy rain for the past week has
stopped cultivation for while, but
has not materially damaged the
crop.

Attempt to Kidnap Frustrated.

Natchez. Miss, Aug. 9. What
is believed to be an attempt to kid
nap the sixteen year-oId daughter
of Matt Shaffer from the Spokan
plantation Friday was frustrated
by the girl and her mother, and
probably one of the alleged kid
nappers is wounded.
From the report received by the
Natchez police, Mrs. Shaffer and
her daughter were alone in the
house Friday about midnight when
three men rode into the yard
on horseback. They dismounted
and tried to get into one door and
one window after another, but
found all securely locked. The
noise they made awakened Mrs.
Shatfer and her daughter.
When two Of the men were near
window from which Mrs. Shaffer
was looking outeshe heard one of
them say they could break in a
door and take her out. She then
got her revolver and began firing
in the direction Of the men, and
believes one of the shots took effect
inH the arm Of one Of them. All of
the men disappeared when fired
upon.
Mr.. Shaffer is foreman Of the
News Publishing Company here,
and both Mrs. Shaffer and the
daughter are well known here and
in the vicinity Of Spokan planta-
tion, which is twelve miles from
town. Bloodhounds were sent to
the scene Sunday morning and pick
ed up a trail. but lost it several
hours later. Mr.. Shaffer states
that he has an idea as Ito who the
three men are, and close investi-
cation will be made.

TOPISAW EXCHANGE.

The rainfall in this section has
been rather heavy and continuous
for two weeks.
We notice at home and every
where we go that cotton is casting
off its fruit at pretty rapid rate,
but not more than usual under
fsimilar circumstances.
We are able to report from our
observation. as well as informa-
ton, that corn, cane. potatoes, IN
fact all varieties Of farm produce,
IS up to good average here.
Among our sick folks Drs. e. T..
and +. L. Summers. w. G. Coon,
Mrs. Mary Brister and Mary Mar
tin are all improving and will soon
be on foot again.
Old Aunt Betsy Summers 81
years Of age, died at the home Of
her son, J. a. j Summers, and was
buried at Union Church last Mon
day. Her life was well spent, her
friends were all who knew her.
Bro. r. H. Purser attended the
funeral and presented many good
thoughts and loving words.
The protracted meeting at Well
man church closed last week. 1t
was an exceedingly good revival
meeting, with 81 additions to the
church. Bros. Joseph Kyzar and
Hosea Price assisted Pastor j. G..
Schultz in the meeting.
Miss Mary Al. Summers, in com
pany with her brother, Judson, at
tended the Lawrence county singing
convention at Nola last Sunday !;
visited friends and relatives and
witnessed the marriage Of Mr.. Tom
White and Miss Leila BardWell, and
returned home.
We had the pleasure of meeting
our playmate in boyhood days, R.
H. Reid. Of Texas, recently, and
while our youthful beauty is less
perceptible now, many pleasant
memories of forty years ago were
our joy at our meeting.
Our telephone system goes under
the new contract with the Cumber-
land, and it's 10 cents call be-
tween the Cumberland exchange at
Brookhaven and the Topisaw ex-
change; no charge on local lines
where there is no call between the
two exchanges.
The Boyte Bros. road contractors
on the new R. F. D. No. S, Brook
haven, are rushing up for good
roads, and as they try to pull their
machine over private roads where
bitches, logs and stumps are in the
middle and both sides turned out
they figure how much people want
good roads in the county; provided
the job is strictly up to somebody
else in fact, people have about
working private roads, and
each fellow wants public road
right by his house.

A Peculiar Accident.

A peculiar accident, and one that
might have proved fatal under
other circumstances. occurred last
night at the union depot at Jack
son, when the locomotive of the
south-bound passenger train Of the
Illinois Central blew out its whistle
tower as the fireman attempted to
blow the starting signal. The
heavy piece Of iron, weighing
about 100 pounds, was blown high
into the air above the station house
and fell on one of the train sheds
designed for protecting passengers
from inclement weather. smashing
the shed top. and came crashing to
the ground with a terrific jar. At
the same time the steam designed
to operate the whistle was let loose
with a roar and kissing that drown
led all other sounds. Fortunately no
one was under the shed at the point
where the whistle came through.

Swift Young Man Comes to a Timely
End

While scorching across the coun-
try at 70 miles an hour young
Swift, a son Of the packing house
millionaire, had the good luck to
collide with an obstacle and break
his neck. We say good luck, for
no man with due regard for the
lives and the rights of others would
speed along the highway at such a
murderous rate Hence by no
stretch of consideration can such a
manbe or become a desirable citi-
zen. Sooner or later he would
have had to carry the load Of re-
morse for the Wanton and wicked
killing of some old woman or young
child. Hence this Swift youth can
only be looked upon as coming to a
fit and timely end Vicksburg

Report from Lincoln.

Brookhaven, Miss, Aug.
There has been material improve
ment in the condition of the cotton
in this territory during the past
thirty days. Excessive rains have
fallen in some spots. however,
making the grass and cotton weed
grow too fast and hindering work.
Boil weevil are reported in the
southern and western portions of
the county, but up to date the dam
age from this cause is not serious.
The first boil of open cotton was
received here today, being raise
by E. R. Lowell on Fair river. The
crop is from two to three weeks
late.
AS compared with the general
condition on the corresponding date
last year, estimates place this
years yield at from 25 to 80 per
cent below the crop of 1908.

The Situation Critical The Outlook fOl
the Crop iar from Assuring.


The Times-Democrat on Monday
published its monthly cotton report
for July and extending up to Aug,
4th.
The general summary of the re,
ports from the entire cotton belt is
condensed by the Times.Democrat
as follows:
In Alabama, Arkansas. Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennes-
see, improvement has been the rule.
North Carolina, as a whole,
shows no important change, but
there has been distinct loss in
South Carolina.
In Texas and Oklahoma there has
been sharp deterioration and the
situation is critical.
There is complaint OF boll.weeyll
in some districts, but the damage
cannot be estimated at this time.
The crop is very spotted and is
peculiarly subject to unfavorabIe
conditions.
