LIE PASSED IN
RATE HEARING
Attorneys for Railways and
Shippers Clash.
FUSS SOON BLOWS OVER

Comptroller of the Rock Island Says
Certain Figures Were Unintentiona-
y Omitted, but the Attorney for
the Shippers Expressed a Different
view-ConsuI for Rock Island Road
at Once Passes "Short and Ugly
Word"
Chicago, Sept 3.-A tense strain of
the railway rate hearing developed in
the midst of which Attorney e. b.
Peirce of the Rock Island called AT
torney F. B. James, representing GIN
cinnati shippers, liar. Mr.. Peirce
added that if Mr.. James was not sat
isfied the matter could be continued
outside"
COMPTROLLER Nay of the Rock Island
was undergoing cross-examination by
Attorney James. The latter declared
that in one of the tables introduced
by Mr.. Nay the total freight operating
revenue per mile and the total frelSht
operating expenses had been left out,
while both sets of figures appeared in
another similar table.
"Why were those figures lett out!
demanded Mr.. James,
Witness answered that the omls-
sion was undoubtedly accidental.
Mr.. James expressed a contrary
opinion with regard to an accident
averring that he suspected an ute
rior motive.
Peirce Becomes Excited.
Mr.. Peirce at this point jumped to
his feet and shouted: IF that is your
opinion you are liar
THAT won't do at all, gentlemen,
interposed Examiner Browne, with
many raps of his gavel. Above the
din Mr.. Peirce cried:
I'VE will not stand such insinua
tions. We are here fairly and square
ly and if the attorney is not satisfied
l will meet him outside"
At this there were Kisses from the
shippers and hand clappings from the
railroad contingent.
The storm spent itself without ref
erence to the gavel, and Mr.. Nay re
sumed. The earnings of the Rocf
Island proper were greater on an av
erage than those of the whole system
he stated The subsidiary lines re
duced the average, he said. Attorne.
Thorne then read from a report o.
the road to the interstate commerce
commission. He said that the repor
econtroverted the witness; that th'
earnings of the system averaged mor'
than those of the railroad proper.

Engineer Tells Of Holdup.

According to the story told by Stew
art, who was brought to a hospital
here, the robber ordered them to tell
the express messenger that they were
in peril of their lives; that the train
had been held up and that the robber
was determined to have the money in
the express car. Stewart states that
the robber fired several shots at the
heads of passengers who looked out to
see what was happening.
when we got to the express car,
said Stewart, my fireman dashed un.
der the car and crawled to the other
side The robber leaned under the car
to shoot at HIM and when he took his
eyes off me | struck him with all my
strength with a rock | had picked VI

striking me in the leg, / guess my

When the remainder of the train
crew heard the shots they seized weap-
ons and rushed to the head of the
train, firing as they came.
Stewart was given immediate medi
cal attention by physicians who were
on board and was brought to Colora

fine WHEAT GROWN
IN This COUNTY

Editor News:
l have just examined some wheat
raised by ]. d. Delk, in this county,
which shows very fine sample. He
sowed three-fourths of an acre on stiff
pine land, putting only one bushel of
seed on it, which he now realizes was
not enough; he used no fertilizer, but
says he will get six barrels of -four
from this three-fourths of an acre. If
he had used more seed in sowing, and
some fertilizer, of course he would
have done better; but six barrels of
-four from three-fourths of an acre is
equal to eight barrels to the acre; and
eight barrels of flour at seven dollars
per barrel equals $56 to the. acre.
Now if new land without any fertilizer
will do that, what will land when it
has been well worked and fertilized
do? In addition to that crop of
pea hay can still be cut from that
same land.
IHlS SHOWS CHdC oouIH MISSISSIPPI
can raise its own wheat; and with
such encouraging experiments l think
will soon do so. / expect to profit by
this experience and SOW some wheat
myself this coming fall. 1t is my idea
to put the land in good condition
early and l think high grade acid
phosphate can be used to good advan-
tage.
We farmers would appreciate any
information any old wheat raiser can
give us. S. E. GRAHAM.

AN ANALYSIS Of EXPORTS
DURING ELEVEN MONTHS

| for the United States s.,4.sr
Nearly half of the oatmeal export
ed, went out through Southern ports.
The exports of oatmeal through Balti-
more nearly equalled the total export
ed through New York and Philadel-
phia together. Since 1908 there has
been falling on in oatmeal exported
of nearly 100000 pounds. Notwith-
standing this decline, which has af-
fected New York and Philadelphia
most seriously, Baltimore has about
doubled on the exports of that year.
I The heaviest shipments of wheat
from the United States go out through
Pacific and Lake ports. OF the bal
ance, nearly one-third went out
through Southern ports. The three
leaders in Southern ports are in the
order named, Baltimore (S,047,6S3),
Galveston (2,4OO,064, New Orleans
0,564, ,4S6). The crop report issued
June Sth, shows that "a 1-2 per cent of
the winter wheat area is in the South
ern States and that, including Mis-
souri,, more than 80 per cent of the
area is so situated. This will surprise
those who have given but little
thought to the Southern States as a
wheat-growing country. The condi-
tion report for June 1st shows an aver
age of 81 points for the Southern
States, excluding Missouri, against 67
in Kansas.
Mobile is the only city along the
Atlantic or Gulf that shows an in
expectation of bread stuffs
over both 1908 and 1909 The same
is true in meat and dairy products. |
The total exported has fallen off near
ly 40 per cent in two years. but Mo
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-06-24

bile has more than doubled in the
same period.
The commerce of Southern ports in
mineral oil products shows steady
growth over the eleven months ending
May, 1908. Baltimore has gained
nearly 100000 gallons. Sabine
port Arthur has jumped from 6S.
714,751 gallons to 13S.67s,o91 gallons.
Galveston is slowly recovering from
the blow to ,ts oil business through
the establishment of the Sabine Gus
toms. district and rose from 62,S05
gallons in 1908, to 2O6.174 gallons in
1909 and to 915,5G5 gallons in 1910.

WALTER SAMPSON.

The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Sampson, little Walter H., was laid
to rest Monday morning, June 20, in
the City cemetery. He was six
months and two weeks old and though
he was only a baby" We had learned
to love him tenderly and build beau
tiful visions for his young life that
meant so much to us. But his mission
was finished here when he attuned our
lives to higher joys and he awaits us
in Heavenly lands. A FRIEND.

SPcCtut tO rue N6DS.
Washington, d. c., June 24.-An
analysis, just completed by the South
ern Commercial Congress, of various
exports in eleven months ending May
1910, shows facts of importance to the
Southern States.
OF the 32,673,965 bushels of corn
exported, 1881 ,O49 reached the COM
merce of the world through Southern
ports, S,670,135 through North Allan
tic ports, and 5,472,7S1 through Pa
cific and Lake ports. The leaders in
exports of corn were, in the order
named, Baltimore, New Orleans: New
York. Compared with the same num-
Der of months ending May, 1908. New.
Orleans is shown to have made gain
of nearly 100000 bushels in the face
of total decline of 1s,0OO,0O0 bushels

GOOD ADVICE
TO THE FARMERS

There is danger that farmers not
familiar with the boil weevil may be
deceived by the apparent dying out"
of the pest at this time and not per-
sist in their efforts against it. The
weevils that passed through the win
ter are now rapidly disappearing; but
they have left behind the ma large
crop of punctured squares, which, if
not destroyed, will soon produce
larger crop of weevils than ever.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
fields be gone over at least once and
all punctured squares picked from the
ground and from the stalk. If this is
done carefully and promptly, and re-
peated at weekly intervals, it will go
far towards insuring profitable cot
ton crop. The punctured squares
should not be plowed under; if they
cannot be picked cultivation should
be with harrow so as to pull them
out to the center of the row and leave
them lying on the surface. When
the cotton stalk should be
brushed or shaken, as many of the
punctured squares can be removed in
this way
To be effective this work must be
done at once. It's object is to des- |
troy the first crop of weevils.
