TRUCK FARMING AND A
BROOM FACTORY FOR LUX

LUX, Miss, May 21.-Mr. H. HUFF
man. northern man who settled near
here some years ago, was in our town
today for the purpose Of making
deal with the handle factory for
broom handles. Mr.. Huffman is
broom-maker by profession, having
been engaged in that business several
years in the state of Nebraska. He
sold out his bushes and retired dur
ing the Cleveland panic. He is now
making arrangements to locate a fac
tory at Lux, and is trying to induce
the farmers to raise broom corn,
which he says will pay far better than
cotton.
Quite a number of our farmers are
preparing to raise wheat another sea-
son and arrangements have been made
to put in a flour mill at Sanford.
\ Land and Improvement Co. will
lie formed here in a short time for
the purpose of putting our cut-over
lands on the market. The plan OF
the company is to build houses and
fence the land, ten acres to the farm
and sell some on five years time
without interest, to be paid for in
whatever the buyer can best produce
The high prices of meat, flour, etc.
is apt to curtail the acreage of cotton
to a great extent in this section.

JAPAN WAR
IS ABSURD

NEW YORK, May 21.-"Japan to
war against America? Never. Such
talk is absurd. An invasion of Ameri-
ca by Japanese army? Never Why?
Because Japan is at peace with all the
world. This co-called war talk be-
tween your country and mine is being
discussed throughout the world, but in
my country they are paying no atten-
ton to it. If there is any country in
the world that Japan wishes to remain
at peace with it is America"
This statement was made by Com
modore Senshiro Iwano, of the Japan
csc navy, when he arrived on the Ger
mania on the last leg of trip around
the world He will leave today for
the Pacific coast and thence will sail
for Toxic. When told that the Japan
csc battleship which arrived in San
Francisco harbor several days ago
was cody received by the natives tf
the coast, Commodore Iwano smiled.
Some people along your western
coast are prejudiced against my race.
But that does not signify the attitude
of the entire country. Small distur-
Dances such as have broken out in San
Francisco during the last year be-
tween those of my race and the people
of that citv are not of anV cOnSe-
ouence."
