This cry was heard at Condo and Di-

hurriedly made up a train of three
cars, called upon all able-bodied cit

started at record speed for the scene
of the catastrophe.
In the meantime the operators along
the line, acting on orders, had got busy
with the telephones and alarmed the
whole countryside until in the majol

Special to The News

Special to The Neos
GULFPORT, Miss, September rs
The Harrison County Medical Society
met with good quota of doctors
present. A good paper was read and
discussed by DR.. Welch, of Wool Mar
ket, on the Hook Worm Disease"
Several more cases of Pellegra were
reported in Harrison county, doubt
less more cases will show up. 1t is
regretted that several of the Gulfport
doctors do not belong to the society,
as it is instructive for the doctors
to meet and exchange opinions and
discuss cases.
j. M. Brown, who for many months
has been a familiar character on the
streets, is now confined to room
overlooking the alley in the rear Of
the Hoyle building, his trouble, tuber-
culosis. He has been selling whisky
to meet his expenses and of course
he was immune from the law viola
lions for such offenses. Mayor Foote
ordered the chief of police to find
him another room and thereby put a
stop to him selling whiskey. Because
of the infectious character of his sick
ness, no effort has been made to have
him admitted to the Kings Daughter s
Hospital or the county poor house.
A proclamation has been issued by
Chief of Police Corbett that all driv'
ers of hacks and other vehicles must
abandon as their waiting point the
street opposite the stores and hotels
facing the depot.
A very successful week in the
schools has just closed with an excel
lent spirit prevailing all the rooms.
City Engineer Sullivan will soon
finish the specifications of the extern
sion of the waterworks system upon
which he is now engaged, and bids
| for the work will then be asked for.
The walls of the Kings Daugh-
| ter's Hospital are now being weather
boarded, the framing having been fin
ished some days ago. The Circle feels
indebted to Mr.. f. B. Lang for the
many favors extended by him-he
furnishing such material from his lum
Der yard as is needed by the work
men-the Circle to return it some
time in the future.
Another party went out to try their
luck on the fine Spanish mackerel
that has been caught here. The fol
lowing gentlemen went to the island

JACKSON. Miss, September IS
Although the big institution does not
open its annual session until next
week, the football team at the Uni
versity Of Mississippi has already re-
ported for duty and is engaged in hard
practice work under the direction Of
Capt. Trotter and Coach Stauffer.
The students selected as available
football team were requested by Capt.
Trotter to report for duty at least
one week in advance of the opening,
and adViees from Oxford state that
twenty men were on the field this
morning.
There has been decided revival of
football spirit in the institution, owing
to the active work of the University
Alumni Association, and confidence is
felt that the organization this year
will be the best in the history of the
University. The line up will be su.
peri9r to former lineups.

to take position on the regular line
up.
The A. & M. team played ring

team taking rank among the best il

STARVING OUT
The BOIL WEEVlL
No Signs of the Insect Can be Foun
Now Where Last Year His Species
Was Plentiful.
Special TO The News

Special to The News
JACKSON, Miss, September 1S.-
In two isolated instances where the
boil weevils were plentiful last yea
official examinations by State Ento-
mologist r. w. Harmed show Their
are none this year. This he takes as
evidence that they did not live through
the winter or found no cotton on
which to work this season.
Prof. Harmed has just visited the
Roadside plantation, in cazoo county
where the weevil was plentiful and
did some damage last year, and spent
several hours in the surrounding cot
ton fields, but failed to find even .
trace of weevil. There was no COT
ton plantd this year within half mile
of the infected field of last year, and
the isolation may have deprived the
insect of a livelihood.
In his report of the investigation
which has just been received by AS
ricultural Commissioner Blakeslee
Prof Harmed says he understands Mr.
Pierce, the government expert hat
previously visited the place on Angus
with a similar result.
The other isolated place where tnt
weevil was plentiful last year, but
has disappeared, was in the western
portion of this city, although just out
side the corporate limits, and where
the nearest cotton this year is abou
quarter of a mile away The bug;
were so numerous there last year tina
Commissioner Blakeslee secured man!
specimens, both of the weevil and O
the cotton stalks and bolls they hat
operated upon and exhibited them q
the stae fair last year.
Careful searches of the neighbor
ing fields by Mr.. Blakeslee and Prof
Harmed have failed to locate singl'
weevil or a trace of one this season.

FARMER BLAkSLEEE
HAS QUEER BUG
Specimen of Peculiar Insect Has Been
Sent to the Commissioner of Agri- Z,
culture From Amite County.
Special 10 The News


JACKSON, Miss, September 1S.-
Commissioner Blakeslee, Of the depart
ment of agriculture and commerce,
has received from an Amite county
planter speciments of species of in
sect closely resembling the lightning
bug, which, according to this planter.
are ravaaing the cotton crop in that
section of the state.
The planter says that this bug is
some sort of a sharpshooter; that he
does not work in the fields during the
day, but commits his depredations at
night. and the disastrous results that
follow are very similar to the raw
ages of the Mexican boil weevil.
Commissioner Blakeslee will turn
the specimens over to entomologlsts
for proper classification. He was at
first inclined to believe that the "
sect is one of the results of the exp
riments of DR.. Lee A. Stone, superin'
tendent of the apiary department OF
the state fair, who has been endeavor'
ing to cross the ordinary honey bee
with lightning bugs in order to de-
velop a bee that will work at night,
and thus be twice as productive as the
ordinary kind, but casual examination
Of the insect does not warrant this
diagnosis.
