DAVIS
HOLDS COURT

Judge Davis court was very short
this morning. Lillian Green and one
Gene Whitfield were the first to come
forward to greet his honor. Gene
didn't care to mind Lillian and there's
where trouble began.
Lillian said she pulled knife to
bluff him. Evidently she did not sue
coed in bluffing but brought blood
Judge Davis decided that bluff and
blood added together was too much
to let pass. Lillian came to the sad
reality that by her bluff she was $3.50
poorer.
While the aldermanic board were
discussing the welfare of the city last
night Officers Benns and Rainier
brought in John Collins with four
quarts and a pop bottle full of booze.
John saw it was "all up and this
morning plead guilty to retailing and
was fined $50 and costs.
Several cases have been postponed
till tomorrow's session.

WHAT HATTIEsBuRe NEEDS.

Hon. James Wilson, secretary of ag-
riculture, recently said that 'the most
pressing needs of the United States
are greater proportion of farmers
and more farming land in cultivation"
If this be true of the United States
as a whole. what about South Mis-
sissippi, and particularly the Hatties-
burg district? Why waste so much
valuable time in talking about facto-
ries and pay rolls, when we are neg
1ecting daily the opportunity to make
Hattiesburg the most important ag-
ricultural city in the state? Had you
considered the fact that cities deriv-
ing their support from agriculture,
stock raising, dairying, poultry
and the numerous other things which
go to make up the farm, were con-
stantly sought out as locations for
manufacturing enterprises, and that
the communities which had no agri-
cultural resources were as a rule
passed up as undesirable?
Agriculture is the rock bottom foun-
dalton for all prosperity, and if this
is brought up to the highest possible
standard, these other things will I'M
doubtedly follow, and it will not be
necessary to engage the services of an
expert wordmaster in order to get
them. If the cut-over lands of South
Mississippi should be put on the
market at reasonable price in quaint
tiles which would insure against
prohibitive rise In value as soon as
half dozen farms had been disposed
of, we would soon enter upon an era
of prosperity which would put in the |
shade all previous real estate and in
dustrial booms, which at best have |
beenn short lived and productive of |

HERE is AN EFFECTIVE FLY
KILLER.

BY far the most efficient fly de-
stroyer with which I am acquainted
is a dilute solution cf formaldehyde
If two teaspoonfuls of iormalin (40 per
cent for09ldehyde) he added to
soup plate filled with water, flies go
to it, one after the other, to drink
especially in the early afternoon. Some
die in the water, many fall in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the nlate;
others succumb on window sill or
floor.
AS a result of leaving a single
plateful of the solution on the kitchen
table Il am writing in the south of
France) hundreds of dead flies are
each day swept up from the floor
Formalin water is free from the grue'
some associations of flypapers and
other traps which hold their strug-
Cling victims. It may even be turned
to ornamental uses. A wire cage
placed in the center of the dish may
be crowned with flowers, which flour
ish equally well, with some slight but
changes in tint in dilute
forma1in as in pure water.
This solution neither attracts nor
repels flies. Two similar dishes
placed side by side, the one contain
ing pure water and the other formG
lin, are visited, so far as one can
Judge, with equal frequency. 1t isl
somewhat strange that so small al
lose proves fatal when taken into the
'ly's alimentary canal.

DIVORCE FOR MRS. GOULD.
Complete Victory for PlaintiG--SmaIl
Alimony-Attorncy Fees Run
Into Thousands.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Katherine
Clemmon Gould today obtained a legal
separation from her husband, Howard
Gould. With the exception of alimony
her victory is complete, but in this
phase the court decided that $50. 900
year was just, whereas she asked for
$25O,OOO. She has been receiving
$4,000 year from Gould.
1t was vlnulcation from the
charges of intoxication and her al
legged relations with Dustin Farnum,
the actor, that Mrs. Gould scored most
strongly. Notwithstanding a long ar
ray of witnesses fol could. the court
held her actions might have been due
to the excitement. and as to Farnum,
he held that her association with him
came after Mr.. and Mrs. Gould had
separated, and that the husband APP
parently made no objection.
Thirty days stay OF judgment was
granted. Attorney Shearn asked an
extra allowance for counsel fees and
the court gave him $4,000. This makes
the total of his fees to $1,000, with
an addition of 500 700 for expenses.
Gould hurried from the room and
declined to talk of the case.
Mrs. Gould's dover rights in Could s
real property, amounting to $1,000
900, according to her attorney was
unaffected by the separation.
Mrs. Gould said she is the happiest
woman living. She does not care
about the smallness of the allowance.
but is overjoyed at the vindcation.

Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will. During his stay on earth his
time is spent in one continuous round
of contrares and Observation-Disclosures
by the balance of our species In his
infancy he is an angel: in his boy
hood he is a devil; iu his manhood he
is everything from a lizard up: in his
duties he is big fool; if he raises
a family he is a chump; If he raises
a small check he is a thief. and then
the law raises the devil with him; if
he is a poor man he is a bad mana
ger and has no sense; if he is rich,
he is dishonest, but considered smart:
if he is in politics, he is a CRATER and
crook: if he is out of politics, YOU
can't place him as he is an undesir-
able citizen if he goes to church,
he is a hypocrite: if he stays away
from church, he is sinner and
damned: if he donates to foreign
missions, he does it for show; if he
doesn't he is stingy and a tightwad.
When he first comes into this world,
everybody wants to kiss him-before
he goes out they all want to kick him.
If he dies young, there was a great
future before him; if he lives to a
ripe old age, he is simply in the way
and living to save funeral expenses.

ming so arranged that the spectator
was deceived in respect to size, and
only on close examination could one
observe what a distinct departure
from prevailing modes it was.
OF course, some such change was
to be expected. We have been running
to large hats for several seasons. They
We're extremely difficult to wear. a
small woman always looked like a
Christmas tree candle with a full
grown snuffer atop. and unless a tall
woman carried herself we'll she was
more than apt to resemble a wind
mill. Then, too. if ones face We're

the average big hat acted like a mi
croscope on ones facial deficiencies
and brought out everything that one
wanted left in shadow.

More Facts Being Brought to Light in
Sensational Crimc-ImpcllinS MO-

ST MICHAEL'S, Md, June 26.-
one by one the facts are coming out
to indicate that Robert Eastman Kill
led Mrs. Woodill and point to the fact
that his effort to pass the crime off on
an unnamed woman was pure fiction
evolved to clear his own name. Fore
man Radcliffe of the coroner's jury
believes that Eastman's letter carries
with it some truth but the police and
detectives scout the idea and back up
the statement by the discovery of a
man who greatly resemhlod Eastman
who secured $500 at a paWnshop in
Baltimore on jewels taken from Mrs.
Woodils body and 5000 which Mrs.
Woodill had when she left her foster
fathers home is missing. The police
also point to the fact that Eastman
in a letter admitted he did not dare
take the chance of a trial and had
decided ia. draw the curtains for
ev r."
The police do not believe the impcl-
ling motive of the murder was rob-
berry but that it was merely an Incl
dent after her death. The motive may
have been that the woman knew his
past and threatened to disclose it or
that he killed her when she told him
she was about to return to her hus-
band in Los Angeles.
