Hammond News.

Hammond, La, Sept. 13.-Practi-
cally every business house in town
closed its doors this afternoon from 8
to 4Io'clock out of..respect to the men,
roy of Alfred Jackson, whose death
occurred Saturday night. The floral
offerings were handsome and the
spacious residence of the family was
crowded when DIR. Bleacker began the
service. An equally large crowd fol-
lowed the remains to GreenlaWn and
many flowers were placed on the
grave.
After remaining in condemned con-
dition for three or four months, and
after persistent kicking by the farm
ers, the bridge over the Tangipahoa
river east of Independence is being
overhauled and put in condition for
travel. E. P. Alshang & Son have the
contract.
An Italian and his family had a mar
row escape from drowning Saturday
when in the act of crossing Tangipa-
hoa river on ferry boat. Thewagon
was pulled by stubborn mule, and
shortly after leaving the embankment
the animal became frightened and
backed the vehicle off into the water.
Owing to the presence of nearby par
ties the woman and baby escaped
death, as did also the husband and
mule, although the man made no at
to rescue his wife and baby. Preston
Bennett did the life-saving act and
plunged in after the helpless people,
the woman being almost in a dying
condition and unconsciously holding on
to her infant, who was likewise in
pitiable condition from strangulation.
In the excitement the harness had to
be cut off the mule to release the
animal from the wagon, and after
every one was safe on land again,
the Italion showed his appreciation of
the kindness done him by asking his
rescuers to provide him a new set
of harness. Naturally, the request
was turned down.

Executive Department
State of Louisiana.
Baton Rouge. Sept. 10. 10

Baton Rouge, Sept. 10, 1909.
To the Cotton Growers of the State
of Louisiana
1t is evident that the cotton crop of
the South will be short this year, and
especially the Louisiana crop. 1t is
also evident that the people will have
to get very much higher price for
cotton that they have made or else
they viii be practically driven out of
the cotton growing business. 1t is
also evident that if the crop is rushed
to market and sold as fast as ginned
that small price viii necessarily OBJ
tain, while gradual slow marketing
of the crop will secure better prices.
The farmers should, therefore, sell
slowly and just as the mills need it,
selling only when the price is high
and withdrawing their cotton from
sale entirely on all depressions.
If the farmers will adhere strictly
to this plan of marketing, they will
get the best price obtainable for their
cotton, and it should be followed by
every cotton grower in the South.

Governor.

Smith Residence Burned.

The buautitful residence of Mr.. M.
G. Smith, on Twenty-ffth Avenue
was burned to the ground Thursday
evening. When the alarm was sound
ed, about 8 o'clock, the fire had al
ready gained such Roadway that the
reflection could be seen on the sky.
The fire boys worked valiantly, but
there was insufficient water and the
chemical was out of commission. Mrs.
Smith and her sister were the only
members of the household on the
premises at the time, Mr.. Smith and
his son Earl having gone to the drug
store to get some medicine. The fire.
men and citizens saved everything in
the lower part of the house, except
the contents Of the kitchen, which
it was impossible to reach. The in
surance is between $500 and $4,000,
carried by the Nilson-Sears companies.
The loss is probably $4,000, as the up
stairs of the house was very hand
somely furnished.

Digging for Treasure.

The Picayune correspondent of Gov
ington sends in the following:
G. C. Allexius, a prominent brick
manufacturer and land owner of this
section, came to town this morning
and reported that treasure hunters
are again busy on his property at the
junction of the Ab1ta and Bogue
Falaya Rivers. They make nightly
visits to this section, and put in hard
work in The hope of recovering hidden
treasures. They have dug several
holes eight feet square and twelve
feet deep through hard clay and brick
bat dumps, but have left no evidence
of having discovered any gold. Three
years ago similar attempt was made
by persons, who armed with divining
rod, had been seen in the woods and
along the river bank in that section,
and after digging several large holes
they left, but not until they had un-
earthed a large iron washpot, fully
two feet deep, which is thought to
have contained coin or other treasure,
a copper coin having been found near
the pot by negro employed on the
place. One of these excavations was
made in front of Hon. Hughes J. de la
Vergne. About this time $500 was
found by some workmen engaged in
pulling down chimney on property
on the Military Road, the house hay-
ing at one time been occupied by
parties named johnson, connected
with the lands on which the adventur-
ers are now prospecting. From what
can be learned of the history of these
efforts to locate hidden treasures in
this section, it seems that years ago
a trader named Johnson and a partner
named Smith came here from St.
Louis on fiatboats, and it became
noised abroad that they were possess
ed of fabulous wealth and that it was
boarded in great iron chests on the
bank of the river below the town.
Johnson was killed while on his way
to Mobile and Smith disappeared and
has never has never been seen in this
section since. These periodical efforts
to locate their money are thought to
be engineered by citizens of this Sec
ton who have obtained in some way
papers of the old firm and have some
description of the location of the
treasure, which it is judged from their
efforts is buried in a triangle from a
described tree.
