PROTECT THE TREES IN HAMPER PARK

The News begs leave to call the at
tention of the Park Commissioners to
the fact that many of the
trees in Hamper Park are being
seriously damaged by the climbers"
VINO perch themselves on the limbs
to see the ball games. Some of the
small trees have been almost ruined;
and large limbs have been broken from
some OF the large shade trees, and
even the beautiful magnolias are suf
fering. Other trees still are being
barked, and unless something is done
will be killed by horses being hitched
to them. Hitching posts should be
erected, and no one allowed to hitch
to tree; and it should be made the
duty, in our opinion, of the regular

for that purpose, to prevent any
climbing up into the trees. The Park
has none too much shade, and we
feel sure, now their attention is called
to it, the Commissioners will take
steps at once to protect the ornamen-
tai and shade trees that are there. In
addition to all that, climbing UP and
roosting on the limbs of the trees is
not a fair way to see the game, and
should be discountenanced If only
the very small boys did this, and did
not injure the trees, it might be over
looked; but it is getting so now that
half grown white men and fully grown
negroes do it, and there is no excuse

The widowed queen, it is said, bore
up bravely. She sat stoically when
she saw her children weeping for
their father, and was unmoved by
the feigned and formal grief of visit

grief was tempestuous and unasuage-

And this happened at the apex of
the highest civilization we can boast
in all the world.

that put a walking stick and an
amount of expense money in the cof-

towers of silence" of the followers
of Zoroaster, where the dead are ex-
posed, to be devoured by cultures, or
the practice of feeding the bodies to
dogs we look upon with horror. These
and other customs may have had a
reason for their existence at one time,
and their continuance in these days,
when the reason is non-existent and
forgotten, may be accounted for by
the perseverance with which we cling
to a custom that has grown into a
habit. We still extend and clasp the
dagger or sword hand when meeting
neighbor, although we no longer fear
harm from him.
The primordial instincts still sur
vive. Men and women not infrequent-
ly commit suicide on the graves of
those they love. At one time when
great man died, his wives, numbering
hundreds, had to die with him. There
may have been a reason for this. 1t
is easily conceivable that when man
left a thousand widows whom nobody
else wanted and who had no way of
supporting themselves, that death was
not the greatest of evils to them.
Giving horse and a dog a place of
honor in the kings funeral procession
was merely a manifestation or a visi-

The case was, from the records, only
a plain case of drag

form of assault and battery with the
hands with intent to kill.
This was something never heard of
before, but when the photo Of the
man assaulted, taken a few minutes
after the fight, was exhibited as evil
dence, and when this part of the rec
ord of the case was touched upon by
the attorney for the appellee, the dig
nified judge who must pass upon the
case nearly exploded with mirth.
The case was argued before the SUI
preme court Tuesday, Mr.. T. NJ. Ev-
ans, of Gulfport. appearing for Mr..

eddy the better of the fight. beating
Pulliam's face up pretty badly, and
when he had done this job pretty well
he gave Pulliam a kick or two.

not so with Pulliam. He jumped a

had his picture made. The blood was
