CUTS OFF ARM, SAVES FATHER
Georgia Girl Will Get Carnegie
Medal for Heroism.

Bowdon, Ga.-Fifteen-year-old Mamie
Price, who lives near here, will be pre-
scented with a Carnegie hero medal. The
home of her father was wrecked by the
storm and all the inmates except the
girl were buried in the ruins. She pro-
cured an AK and guided by the groans OF
the victims, proceeded to cut them put
of the debris. Her mother died before
she could be released, but the girl res
cued her baby brother alive and unhurt.
Her father was caught under the heavy
timbers and his left arm was mangled.
The girl cut away as many of the tim.
bers as possible, but could not release the
arm.
The father, however, decided that the
arm would have to be amputated any
how, and at his command, the girl
brought the ak down on the mangled
member, thus releasing Mr.. Price. Their
aided by her father, she made a rude
tourniquet that stopped the loss of blood
while she went for help.

Chicago.-To three of the large fash.

BUCKET SHOP HIT HARD|
BELTS MAJORS MUST REFUND
$4S, 438. 48.
Money Was Lost in Specializing in
Cotton Futures-Fraud
Was Shown.

New Orleans, lathe United States
Circuit Court of Appeals today delivered
q death blow to the bucket shops in a
decision handed down in the case of III.
c.. Williamson, a real estate dealer of
Memphis, against Rettis Majors, involv-
ing $4~S,43S.4s, including interest, lost By
Williamson in cotton speculation through
the firms of TT. Majors & Co. and Hay
ward, Wick & Clark, and through their
Memphis office. The original bill of the
complaint was filed in the Chancery
Court of Bolivar county, Mississippi,
which decided in favor of Majors, but an
appeal was taken to the Federal Court of
Appeals and today a decision was hand
ed down reversing the decree of the low
er court and ordering the entering of
judgment in favor of Williamson.
Williamson had lost $3O,295 in spec
ulating in cotton futures and then exc
cuted a deed of trust on a plantation in
Mississippi for that amount and gave
his note to Majors, who had promised to
carry his contracts for o certain period,
on the expectation that the government
crop report would a rise in prices.
Instead, Williamson alleges, Majors
~'bucketed" his contracts. Majors filed a
| cross bill for the foreclosure of his deed
of trust. The transactions dated from
December, 1903, to February, 1904.
| Williamson pleaded for the cancellation
of the deed of trust on the ground that
the indebtedness lit purported to secure
arose out of a gambling contract and
was therefore void under the laws OF
| Tennessee and Mississippi. - =

up a pot of gold which tradition says has
lain buried under that site since the
raid of Gen. John Hunt Morgan and his
band of Confederates near the close OF
the Civil war.
The property formerly belonged to the
late Matthew Macarthur, a noted South.

was famous as an Underground station
for Confederate refugees. As the story
goes, there was a subterraneon passage
leading from the house, and it is here
the passage having long since been filled
up-that the treasure is supposed to be.
The money was left there, it is said,
by a Confederate, spy by the name OF
Caldwell, who had been sent North to
pay the troops of Gen. Morgan, then in
this vicinity. He stopped at the Near
thur residence, and his presence being
discovered, he secreted the gold, said to
amount to several thousand dollars, and
escaped, intending to join Gen. Morgan.

The jackie who stood at the gang plank

It was a patriotic and happy throng,
too. Every man, woman and chile in it
seemed to feel not only a pride in the
grim machine of death and destruction,
but a sense of part ownership in the
craft as we'll. All the gun decks and
even the turrets were open to the callers,

move that the Federal grand jury, called

probably will be late tomorrow. The
ground set up for dismissal will be that

scribed by Congress for investigating

Cutting UP the Big Farms.

A State of land owners is Il more pros
porous and happy one than the State OF
big plantations with renters and share
workers. The delta section of MISSISSIPPI
pi has been the home of big plantations
for many years, but the average size has
been diminishing for some time. The
owners are beginning to realize that the
small owner is preferable to the tenant
and movements are under way in several
localities to cut uprthe big plantations
and sell to desirable citizens. ~.,
One of the most prominent moves in
tina. direction has recently been made by
a number of enterprising citizens of
Greenwood. The plantation of w. Z.
George, lying just across the Yazoo river
from Greenwood, and containing approx
irpately 1000 acres, has been purchased
by a syndicate and is being plated in
small lots OF from 20 to 1870 acres to Of
fer settlers who desire to own their
homes. A concerted effort will be made
to sell this land to good white people
and build a citizenship in that section
that will mean a great deal to the future
prosperity of Greenwood and the Yazoo
delta. There should be little trouble ex-
perienced in securing buyers for this land.
It. is rich a~lluvial soil, right at the cor
poration line of a large and growing city
and offers especially attractive induce
ments to The man who would w his
home.
ltsis expected that a great deal of
work of this character will be under
taken in the delta during the next few
years. A more intelligent class of farm
ers is demanded there by prevailing con-
ditions and change will eventually come
about. The health and other conditions
are favorable, and if that great section of
our State is to come into its w a
great many just such movements as In
augurated by the Greenwood people will
have to be made.

ner. There is e desire on the part of
our people to learn what is best and
then to do it. Thirty years ago the
writer first saw a publication issued from
Medina, Ohio, entitled "Gleanings in Bee
Culture" It was devoted to developing
the Bookkeeping business and is still be-
ing published for that purpose. There
are other publications devoted to the bus
mess. The A. /. Root Co., Medina, Ohio,
publish several works on bee culture that
are well worth the price. The intelligent
bee-keeper must necessarily read and
keep up with the times.

ton was organized for the direct purpose
of educating our people and interesting
them in the business, as well as devils
ing a means of marketing to secure the
best available price. The next meeting
will be held in Jackson next fall during
the State Fair. Those desiring to at
tend can take advantage of the low rate
made at that time. 1t is hoped that a
good exhibit of bee-keepers' supplies VIII

time the program will contain the names

various phases of Bookkeeping.

Boil Weevil Legislation.

~
Hon. G.. II. Afford, member of the
legislature from Pike county, has indi-
Gated that he will introduce a bill at the
January session of the body, authoriz-
ing compulsory orders for the burning of
cotton stalks to suppress the boil weevil
in infested sections, and in an interview
on the subject says: If the farmer
wants to kill the adult weevil, the insect
weevil in immature states, and destroy
the food supply of the few weevlls that
escaped the fire so they will be weakened
by starvation and without sufficient
strength to pass through the winter, he
can do so by this method. In the boil
weevil literature issued by the depart
ment. the burning of stalks in autumn
is urged, but few farmers follow this adj
vice. The passage of this bill Will en-
able boards of supervisors to enforce the
carrying out of government ideas where
they see fit. | am satisfied that the
members of the legislature from the delta
and river counties will favor the passage
of the bill, and that the planters in
most instances viii be willing and anX-
ious to have it carried out"
The proposition of Representative Al
ford is a unique one, and while its merits
have not been Investigated, it may be
worthy of consideration and the support
of the agricultural people. Mr.. Afford
has been the author of much favorable
legislation for the benefit of the farmers
and this measure may prove of benefit
also. 1t is well worth the time and at
~tention of III people, and should they
not deem it what is wanted, the author
would no doubt comply with a request
to change it according to their wishes.
Bee-Keepers Becoming Interested.
The series of articles on Bookkeeping in
The Bulletin last month are bringing re-
suits. 1t was intended to arouse inter
est in the business and strengthen the
membership of the association. Quite a
number of letters lave been received at

ing the matter, and several members
