went over to investigate. Some STAYED
and Others fled. They saw bluish-red
fame appear to come up through q
crack in the ground, take the form of a
circle, and then break into nhosphores-
cent tongues, which spread over the
ground and wound about the tufts of
Hllo, grass. Each particular tongue
seemed TO take its own method of man
euvering and gamboling about. Finally
all the parts appeared to reassemble
The circle lowered about the place from
which it originally emerged and finally
appeared to be sucked back into the
earth. The natives and Japanese said
the odor of the fame was very peculiar
The japanese said he did not stav
very long, but felt a real earnest de-
sire to get away, and get away he did.

But that is NOT all. for another pecu-

Waikiki ghost and felt that possibly
during this glorious moonlit season
other ghosts may have conspired to
stalk abroad. She was sitting be-
side window late in the day sewing.
The window was open. Nearby is a
kiawe tree suddenly she heard a voice
apparently coming from the branches
of the tree:
cob, Carrie, come up.
She was startled and looked about.
No one was in sight She heard the
summons again, and this time she went
to the front door, then to the back
door, then looked out of the window
and gazed into the branches of the tree
: Not soul to be seen.
Come on, Carrie, won t YOU ?" This
time the voice sounded fainter. and the
lady became little nervous. 1t wa.

if no move is made on December z, the
date of the converting of congress,
Hawaii Will have to wait for a long
time before it gets any relief. The
civic federation mass meeting went on
record a year ago for the suspension
and at that time cabled the resolution
to congress Il stood 16S for suspen-
sion and against.
1910 successfully carry through the
measure for suspension,'' said a promi-
nent merchant of the city, yesterday,
''it should be seen that the movement
is not knocked at the other end of
the line--that is, San Francisco. Cap
tain Matson is the one there who is
doing it and doing his best to defeat
it.
"He is standing in his own light
but refuses to look at it that way.
When | was in Frisco I put it that
way to him but he couldn't figure it
out. If the suspension measure is car
ried, his ships viii have more tourists
to carry back for there will be more
here. The reason that boats are 90
ing empty now is that there is nobody
here to go away. No citizen of Ha-
wall wants to 60 away just at the
holiday time. He win get his fair
share of returning tourists.
"He can not complain of loyalty on
the part of the shippers of Honolulu
l believe that every merchant in Ho
nolulu is on record as promising tC
give him all their freighting and w,
certainly are. He knows that we have
instructed all those shipping to us Il
send the goods through his line.''
Another merchant in favor of tn,
suspension of the laws has estimated
that Honolulu and Hawaii loses 50, 600.
0G0 year while those laws are il
force. He figures that there should b
five hundred more transient people !,
Honolulu every month than there ar
now and a safe figure is to say tina
they will spend $50 day. He saw
that as those who come here are monye
people anyway, they can afford to pa
this.

Season Good for Ducks.

Notwithstanding the hunting sea-
son is not we'll open hundreds of
ducks are being killed and sent out
of Vermiion parish for market. This
is an industry that is very profitable
to few at the expense of the many.
The law limits the shipment of game
to six each kind daily by one indi-
vidual but 1t permits of hundreds
of ducks to be carted or boated out
OF the parish to adjoining parishes
to be disposed of or shipped at pleas
ure. From 1000 to 5000 ducks
are being carried on boats from
Cheinne au Tigre and Belle Isle to
Jeanerette, Franklin and Morgan
City each week for disposition in the
local markets or to be shipped. This
slaughter promises to grow larger
when the season fully opens. 1t is
reported that ducks are more numer-
GUS on the sea marshes now than
they have been at any other time
within the past twenty years. Nal
lards, red heads and green-wing
teals have not begun to arrive in
numbers yet. The ducks now so
numerous are the blue-wing teal and
pintails. When the Northern ducks
come in the numbers will be more
than doubled.

HEAD SEVERED BY Ak.
Syrian Peddler Killed BY Negroes
Motive Robbery.

Meridian, Miss.-News of the muir
der of a Syrian peddler in most
brutal manner by negroes and the
supposed lynching of the murderers
reached here from Kemper county. 1t
is said that the peddler stopped with
his wagon of wares at a negro house,
seven miles from DeKalb, and spread
his goods out for inspection by two
negroes. While the inspection was
in progress, it is said, two other ne
groes crept up behind the Syrian and
severed his head from his body with
an ak. The headless corpse was then
placed in the seat of the wagon, and
the horse was headed down the road.
The head was placed under the seat
of the wagon.
Several hundred yards down the
road, the lifeless body was discovered
by some white men. who stopped the
horse and began an investigation. A
crowd of men gathered on the spot
and began a search for the murder
ers. Going back toward the 3lrec-
tion from which the wagon came the
men came to the house where the
crime had been committed. 1t was
easy to establish this fact. for blood
spots were plainly in evidence. Going
into the house the men found the
four negroes huddled on rhe floo- d.
viding the contents of the peddler's
pack. The four negroes have disap-
peared, and 1t is stated that they
were put to death.

Gift OF A MILLION DOLLARS
John d. Rockefeller to Fight
the Hook Worm Disease.
Two MILLIONS OF People infected
Bulk Of the Work Will Be Done in
the South, Where the Disease is
Said to BE Prevalent Among
the Poorer Glasses.

New York.-A gift of one million
dollars by Jno. d. Rockefeller to fight
the hook worm disease" was an
nounced at the Office of the Standard
Oil Company here.
A dozen we'll known educators and
scientists, selected in a large part
from institutions of learning in the
south, where the parasite is preva-
lent, were called In conference with
Mr.. Rockefeller's representative at
the Standard Oil Company's office at
26 Broadway, and at that meeting
Mr.. Rockefeller's desires to organize
a commission to carry on a campaign
against the malady was discussed. AS
a result of this discussion of the sit
uation, the Rockefeller commission
for the eradication of the hook worm
disease was organized.
In calling these gentlemen togeth-
er, Mr.. Rockefeller addressed to each
a letter pointing out his interest In
relieving the human suffering caused
by the hook worm parasite, especially
because he said, it had been his pleas
ure to spend a portion of each year
among the warm hearted people Of
the South and welcomed the oppor-
tunity to express appreciation OF their
many kindnesses and hospitalities.
The members of the commission in
framing a reply to Mr.. Rockefeller's
offer of $1,O00,000 declared that the
proposition met with their heartiest
appreciation.
1.-TWO millions of our people are
infected with this parasite" they
added. 'It is by no means confined
to one class; 1t take its toll Of suf-
fering and death from the intelligent
and well-to-do as well as from the
less fortunate"
The hook worm" according to
New York medical authorities. is a
hair like parasite to which is charged
a form Of aneima prevalent especially
among the poor people Of the South.
1t was not until recent years that
members of the medical profession
recognized that a parasite caused the
malady.
In December, 1902, DR.. Charles
Wardell Stiles, then a zoologist. In
the bureau of animal industry at
Washington, who had been studying
intestinal parasites, announced to the
Pan American Sanitary Congress his
conviction that the so-called "lazi-
ness" and "shiftlessness" widely OBJ
served in certain portions OF the
south was a specific disease, due to
the hook worm. Many members OF
the congress expressed surprise at
the announcement and up to the
present the disease has been a matter
of some controversy.

154 BUSHELS TO The acre
Thus Making a Corn Record
for DeSOtO Parish.
A S39O,O0O LUMBER Deal is MADE
Sugar Season Opens FavorabIy. Cot
ton Brings Good Price. Railroad
Accidents. Gin and Barn
Burns. Scarlet Fever Over.

The recent address at Mansfield
by government expert on raising
corn, has aroused much discussion
upon the subject of producing corn,
and recalls the fact that De Sotto
Parish has produced the largest yield
of corn ever raised in the State. and,
with but two exceptions, the largest
ever produced in the world, the two
exceptions being raised in South
Carolina. The De Soto crop referred
to was raised by Mr.. E. J. Harwell,
near Stonewall, about twenty years
since, and he produced 154 bushels
on one acre. The Police Jury had
offered a prize to the man produc-
ing the largest amount of corn on
one acre. Harwell had a piece of hill
land that had been used as a gin
house lot and then as a feed lot for
cattle, and although naturally very
poor land, was as rich as could be
made. He measured off exactly one
acre, and planted it in the prolific
Moseley corn highly fertilized, plant
ed it very thick, and gave it every
possible attention. The seasons were
favorable, and it was soon evident
that he had won the prize. When it
was ready to gather the Police Jury
appointed a committee to see it gath
cred and to measure the yield. The
corn was gathered and carefully
weighed, and the result was that it
was shown that he had produced
154 bushels of good corn on the
one acre.

"Make Haste Slowly" on Good Road.

The gang of prisoners employed
on the model road near Baton Rouge
has been employed for the past three
weeks. and the fact that there has
been but little actual work done on
the road proper has given rise to
the remark that the work is pro-
crossing rather slowly.
The reason why little work has
been done on the road, Is due to the
fact that most of the time has been
spent on the natural drain which
traverses the road about the middle
of the depression. This drain is be-
ing opened, cleared of stumps and
shaped for a distance of some 1000
feet to the south of the road, in or
der to make the work done on the
road of a permanent nature and to
prevent an overflow.
Rock ballast or other surfacing
material is to be used in the mid.
die of the road to key the entire ia
brio, and experience has shown the
government roadmakers that when
this system is used in connection
with proper accessories it makes the
best type of road for this section of
the country.

Hog Raising Profitable.

viii Register. of Clayton. La,
shipped fifty-eight hogs to New Or
a pound on foot. They averaged $50
pounds each. This shows that hogs
can be profitably raised here, and
some of the more progressive farm
ers have taken time by the forelock
in the matter of diversification.
Judge Van VOORHEES,, owner of the
Indian Village plantation in the same
neighborhood, has made arrange
ments to ship a carload of brood
sows to his place, and will raise
hogs on an extensive scale, as pack
ing house in Natchez will insure a
good market.

Cotton Sells at Good Price.

For more than two weeks Grand
Cane has been paying Shreveport
quotations for cotton. While the buy
ers may sustain a small loss, news
of the high market has been the
means of a manifold increase in
trade. Several customers from Eas:
Texas and many from remote sections
of De Soto hauled away wagonloads
Of merchandise in exchange for the
cotton they brought. The burning
of the Keatchie gin turned much un-
ginned cotton to Grand Cane, and
now the gins have to run into night
to accommodate the trade.

Crop of Potatoes Precede Cotton.

Farmers at Grand Cane are plac-
ing orders for seed Irish potatoes for
the 1910 crop. This year a large
number of carload shipments were
made from there and next season
pormises a much larger acreage.
Some of the best yields obtained on
any cotton were on land that produc-
ed early Irish potatoes. This land
was highly fertilized for potatoes
and with no additional fertilization,
cotton was planted as soon as the
potatoes were gathered. After grow
ing a fine crop of potatoes, E. w.
Hoell of this place raised two bales
of cotton, without additional fertil-
izer, on three acres. Many other ex-
amples can be furnished.

present depot at Donaldsonville, the
Progressive Union of that place re-

suggestions: That train sheds or
arcades should be erected along the
full lengt' of the platform on both
ends of the depot, and that shed
or arcade should be erected connect
ing the Lafourche branch with the
depot of the main line. THE length
of the depot proper should be ex-
tended nineteen feet instead of nine
feet as proposed on plans, and the ad-
ditional space thus created be utiliz-
ed to increase the area of the waiting

GOOD ATTENDANCE
 AT MASS MEETING
A PROFITABLE AND PLEASANT
 EVENING SPENT
In a General Discussion of the Bridge Situation as it Now Stands.

The mass meeting of Tempe peo- pie at the Goodwin opera house Monday evening for the purpose oi discussing the bridge situation, was well attended and though not a great deal was accomplished in what the public is interested in at the present time, the evening was profitably spent, and it might be added, also en- joyably.
 P. P. Daggs wound up the evening with a long talk; in it he related several interesting little stories to illustrate various points and his re- marks on the whole were most en- tertaining and to the point MT. Daggs can always be depended upon to say something good at the right time and when ever he arises in a public meeting to say something, the audience prepares itself to listen to something worth while. Jas. Good win, who has taken as great an in terest in the bridge question as any other Tempe man. and who has done great deal toward furthering the cause. was another prominent partici- pant in the deliberations Monday evening" J. F. Price spoke at some length and presented a number of good suggestions. Still other speak CTS w-re E. B. Moeur, w. G. De Wore. Chas. WoOlf and C. W. Harris.
 The bridge situation in Tempe at the present time is little different from what it was some time ago The people are unanimous in their support of the Tempe site and are more confident than ever that the voters of the county are going to stand by the Tempe site as the most logical one on the day the vote is taken. Now that the date of the election has been definitely settled by the supervisors as June 10th, the bridge committee here plans to get still more active in the campaign.
