The Denver Convention

The next step was to whitewash
the reputation of benzoate foods. This
would give popular market value
to decayed and inferior vegetable
foods preserved by benzoate of soda.
The Convention of State and Nation
al Food and Dairy Departments met
at Denver in August, 1909. A year
before, "it had voted, by large ma
jority, it's support of DR.. Wileys fight
against benzoate of soda and other
harmful personalities" But James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture of
the United States, now led the con-
test in advocacy of benzoate of soda.
He secured for Mr.. Flanders of New
York the election as President OF the
Convention. That State has always
been a laggard in pure food work"
In seconding the nomination of Mr..
Flanders, the Secretary of Agricul-
ture said 81 would like to see this
association go back to the original in
tention of it and consider the dairy
cow. Mr.. Flanders was worker in
the ranks of this association at the
time when there was no quarrel
about foods, benzoate, and things of
that kind"

FATAL To A Youth

Anderson, Ind, Sept. Arthur, the
4-year-oid son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Schofield, almost bled to death yester-
day as a result of having been bitten
on the toe by a rat. While playing
about the yard the boy stubbed his
toe and the mother applied home
remedies on the bruise in the form OF
generous slice of fat pork.
The boy then played in the wood
shed and the rodent was evidently at
tracted by the odor of the meat. 1t
nibbled at the bacon unknown to the
child and finally plunged its sharp
teeth into the toe.
The wound bled profusely, and the
child was at the point of death from
loss of blood when a physician ar
rived. The wound was cauterized,
but blood poisoning is feared.

Constable Riley was seen by a News
reporter when he arrived on the Gulf
and Ship Island train at 10 o'clock
this morning and was asked if he had
succeeded in locating his man, and in
reply the officer related a most inter.
esting story.
Il had no difficulty in locating my
man." Mr.. Riley said, "but that was
the extent of my success. The COVER
nor of Arkansas refused to honor Gov.
Noel's requisition papers. and / was
therefore compelled to return alone"
Mr.. Riley stated that upon arriving
at Wynne he called upon the officials
and ascertained, to his surprise, that
Mcneil had not even been apprehend-
ed and placed under arrest. He was
informed, he said, that the man was in
town, and succeeded in locating him
in a short while. Mcneil, he said, was
willing to return, but his friends
there, some carpenters and painters,
had employed counsel for him and the
matter had been placed before the
governor with the result that the
requisition papers had been turned
down.

CUSTOM HOUSE
PROBE STARTED
Believed That Investigation by Corps
of Special Agents viii Prove
Highly interesting.

Boston, Mass, Sept. Whether
the investigation of the Boston Gus
tom house will be repetition of the
startling disclosures made when New
York's custom house was probed
some months ago by the treasury de-
partment, no one who is in a position
to know is willing to state, but there
seems to be good reasons to believe
that the inquiry which was begun to-
day by special agents will be interest
ing. The agents are the same that
inspected the custom service in New
York, the board consisting of eight
members who will work in connection
with the surveyor and collector. In
addition to making thorough inves-
tigation Of the accounts, methods of
appraisal and inspection of goods and
baggage, the special agents will at
tempt, it is said, the grading of the
day customs inspectors. The ques-
tion of differentiation of sugar and
hides, the two most valuable articles
of import at this port, will also be
thoroughly investigated. One of the
principal purposes of the investiga-
tion is to establish uniform methods
of customs inspection and appraisal
throughout the country. The system
now in vogue in New York and Phila-
delphia will be adopted here, it is
understood.

LOCAL DELEGATION
LEFT this MORNING
Carried Hattiesburg's Bid and viii
Present Many Logical Reasons Why
the School Should be Located in the
Magic City.

Tomorrow, at Jackson, the trustees
appointed by the last legislature for
the Mississippi Normal School, which
is to be maintained by the state
after the first two years of its
existence, will meet to receive bids
from the various cities in the state
which are desirous of having the new
institution located in their midst.
The local delegation of citizens who
will present Hattiesburg's bid and, by
oral argument, present the claims of
this city and it's advantages to the
trustees, left this morning for Jack
son, and will probably return tomor-
row night or Saturday morning. The
party is composed of the following
gentlemen:
DR.. T. E. Ross, DR.. ]. d. Donald,
Messrs. H. A. Camp, G. L. Hawkins,
w. S. F. Tatum, T. M. Ferguson, F. B.
Woodley, F. W. Foote, Judge N. c.
Hill and Rev. ]. N. McMillin.
While the bids from the various
towns, will be received by the trustees
tomorrow, they will not be opened
until ten days hence, when the decis-
ion of the trustees will be announced
and very interesting but friendly
contest between communities for the
location of state institution brought
to a close.
OF the cities which have announced
their intention to bid for the school,
it is generally thought that the con-
test now is between Hattiesburg, Me-
ridian, Laurel and Jackson, and delega-
tions OF citizens from each of these
places will appear before the trustees
tomorrow and present their claims for
preferment.
In view of the fact that Hattiesburg
was the first city in the state to an
nounce it's intention to bid for the
school, and in consequence of the un-
firing work and liberality of local citi-
zens to secure its location here, the
decision of the trustees will be awaited
with great degree of interest 1t was
through the personal efforts of
Mayor ]. D. Donald that a bill was
passed by the legislature authorizing
municipalities and counties to issue
bonds for the institution, and Hatties-
burg was the first city to announce
its intention to float bonds for that
purpose, Laurel and Jackson being
the only others, so far as is known,
to follow this city's example in that
respect.
