son or daughter regularly living il
another locality should not be
counted with the family at home,
Servants, laborers, or other EN-
ployees who live with the family

The Census Bureau states that
there will be, on the other hand, a
certain number of persons present
and perhaps lodging and sleeping
IN the districts at the time of the
enumeration who do not have
their usual places of abode there.
These are not not to be enumerat-

will be enumerated elsewhere. The
canvassers should not, therefore,
unless it is practically certain that
they will not be enumerated any

ing classes:
Persons visiting a family;
Transient boarders or dodgers

one of meal for cotton, will b'
nearly right for the average South
Mississippi soil, but remember that
this is only suggestive, as many
factors have to be considered. Each
man should figure out the proper
proportions for himself. He should
know his soil and the requirements
better than any fertilizer factory
can.
2. Stop purchasing fertilizers by
the sack or by the ton. The law
requires that every manufacturer
indicate the nitrogen and phospor-
ic acid in his goods. and it is the
purchasers own fault If he buys
inferior stuff. Buy high-grade 16
per cent phosphate and 6.I8 per
cent meal and no other. You can
not afford to pay freight on and
haul the sand and dirt, or some
thing equally worthless, that area
large part of every low-grade fer
tiIizer.
8. BY increasing the humus con-
tent of our soils. There Is no ques-
ton but that the greatest need Of
all of our soils Is humus. 1t drys
wet lands and holds moisture In
dry lands. It warns cold lands
and tempers sandy soils that burn
vegetation too quickly. 1t unlocks
inert plant food, renders it soluble
and available, and makes the right
use of commercial fertilizers profit
able. Our climate is such that the
humus content is rapidly burned
out, but this same sunshine and
rain and soil combine to produce
to perfection cowpeas, soy beans
and velvet beans. the greatest hu-
mus restorers and soil enrichers in
the world.
Consider a few of these facts,
and when you put them into prac-
tice you will find yourself making
bigger crops on a greatly reduced
fertilizer bill.

Lawyer and Doctor Fight to Win

of time.

About twenty years ago the San
Francisco Chronicle published the
following account of duel fought
at Grand Gulf now nearly century
ago. BY accident, the article fell
into the hands of the Reveille, and
we extend thanks to our good
friend. whose name we have not
the liberty of giving. for its use:
Something like fifty years ago
two young men, one a lawyer and
the other a doctor, loved the same
girl in the town of Grand Gulf,
Miss. Both could not have her,
and neither could live without her.
They decided to fight for her. II
was to be a duel to the death.
There was no insult to be avenged
by discharge of firearms; no stain
on a reputation to be wiped out by
a few drops of blood. The death
of the one was demanded by the
other. The lawyer said 1t was to
be a duel loutrance. The ar
rangements for a massacre were
complete The principals were
armed with rifles, revolvers, and
bowie knives. They had more
confidence in their hate than III
the accuracy of their aim. The
rifles were to be discharged first at
twenty PAGES. il neither combatant
was killed they were to advance FIR
ing their revplyers at will. and if
they still lived the battle was to be
continued with the knives.
It was early morning when the
party of four men. principals and
seconds. lett the little town of
Grand Gulf and sought a grove a
few miles distant. No effort at re-
cancellation was made; no time was
lost in the preIiminaries. The men
were placed, the word was given
to fire, and the rifles echoed the
signal. The lawyer stumbled for
ward and fell, the blood streaming
from his mouth. He was uncon-
scious when bis second raised him,
and 1t was found that the bullet
had entered one cheek, torn away
a section of the jaw, and had made
Its exit through the other side oil
his face. There was 40 more 6ght.

WHO ARE TO BE ENUMERATED
The Census Bureaus Instructions
to EnumeratOrs on This
Point.

Washington, D. c., February
10, IoIo.-The explicit and lengthy
printed instructions to the census
enumerators, which have been pre-
pared by the United States Census
Bureau, give a clear idea of the
answers expected from the people
of the United States with regard to
the questions in the population
schedule to be carried in the De-
cennial Census April IS next.
All answers are to have refer
ence solely to the "Census Day"
which is April IS. Persons living
on that day, but who died after it
and before the enumerators call,
are to be counted, but persous
born after April IS are not to be
included in the count. Persons
who were single on April IS are to
be reported as single, even though
they have married subsequently
aud before the canvasser has called.
This is true, similarly, of persons
who became widowed or divorced
after April Is.
The census law provides that all
persons shall be enumerated at
their "usual place of abode" on
April IS. This means the place
where they may be said to live or
belong or the place which is their
home. AS rule, the usual place
Of abode is not the place where a
person works or where he eats, but
where he regularly sleeps, The
euumerators are cautioned, howev-
er, that where a man happens to
sleep at the time of the enumera-
ton may not be the place where
he regularly sleeps.
There will be a number of per-
sons having their usual places oi
abode in enumeration districts who
will be absent April IS. These
are to be included and enumerated
after the facts regarding them have
been obtained from their families,
relatives, acquaintance, or other
persons able to give the informa.
tion. For instance, if a member
of any family in an enumeration
district is temporarily away from
hope on a visit, or on business, OF

When the Mississippi Valley
Transportation Company an
nounced its plans to install a new
steel barge line, many old river
men said that it would be hard
hunt to find cargoes to go by
water. Even the most sanguine
of the promoters of the company
consoled themselves with the
knowledge that if everything else
failed they could get abundant car
goes of coal to make the line prof
table. But from every city which
has possible connection with the
river there came streams of letters
suggesting cargoes and asking for
space in the boats, and these are
not casual cargoes but big move
ments that wlll-increase year after
year.
One of the biggest movements
which will be affected by the Mis-
sissippi is that of lumber north
ward from Louisiana.
There is single company in
Louisiana which has thirty million
feet of lumber stacked up on the
river bank now waiting shipment,
and great difficulty in getting any
cars.
A company in one of the North
eFn cities which uses immense
amounts of timber, recently wrote
the Mississippi Valley Transporta-
ton Company for a definite en-
gagement for carrying its ship
ments OF lumber from its southern
mills to its northern market. This
one company has nifty thousand
acres of good timber yet to cut, all
of it adjacent to the bank of the
Mississippi, and will ship for
twenty years to come. Opposite
to this. and within easy reach of
the Mississippi, lies 100000 acres
of cypress soonto be cut.
Out from New Orleans in every
direction and especially centering
about Natchez, Mississippi, is the
estregion at present undevel-
oped for naval stores in their va
rions forms. The opening and the
operation of this territory is just
getting under way, and the new
steel barge line is in frequent re-
ceipt of letters asking for rates and
looking for cargo space for the
transportation Of these casgoes.

Woman Beat Two Men.

We suspect you'd like the tale. how a
woman beat two hardware dealers in Cir
ard, Pa.
Devoe salesman tried his best to get
those men to sell Devoe lead-and zinc in
that bright town; and failed. Reluctantly
took Mrs. E. R. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than $1.z5 a gallon. Mrs Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint
that had been sold there since.
She knew Devoe: had sold his artists
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that chep is
dear in paint, and told the people.
MIR. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe
for rooms that had always taken a gallon
of other paint: had half left.
Mr.. John Hanna grocer, thought it ex-
pensive before he bought it, brought back
nearly half Of his paint, and said II was
the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs Bowman reports universal satisfac-
ton. So much for cheap-paint town

OPPOSE BAYOU PIERRE PLAN.
Gen. Marshall Reports Adversely
on Proposed Improvement.

Washington, Feb. Io.-Gen
Marshall, chief of engineers, fol
lowing a recommendation Of the
River and Harbor Board of Review
to day, reported adversely to the
proposed improvement of Bayou
Pierre in Mississippi, from Its
mouth TO Port Gibson. Capt.
Clarke S. Smith recommended the
expenditure of $4,000 for removal
of distractions so as to afford nav
igation FIVE months in each year
with an allowance of $1,000 every
other year for keeping the channel
clear. The Board of Review is OF
the opinion that, since permanent
and continuous navigation of Bay
OH Pierre is necessary TO get any
material benefits to commerce
through expected reduction of rail-
road rates and expenditure re-
quired for permanent Improvement
Is entirely out of proportion to
probable benefits, 1t is not advisable
for the United States to undertake
the work.-Special to Times-Dem-
ocrat.
It will be remembered that about
a year ago Mr.. Marshall, in COM
pany with Judge Mounger and Mr..
Holly, went down the bayou from
Port Gibson in a gasoline launch.
Upon their return, meeting OF
the business men was held at which
Mr.. Marshall was told of the i'm
portance of making the bayou nav
igable.
Four months ago Judge Noun
ger received a letter from Capt c.
S. Smith, in which the writer stat
ed that the Board of Engineers did
not look with favor upon the pro
posed appropriation, but that an
appeal could be taken from this
decision within three weeks from
the date of the boards decision.
The ReveiIle gave notice of this.
but, so far as we know, nothing
was done to change the opinion OF
the engineers, therefore we have
let the opportunity pass.

Some Facts About Fertilizers.

In view Of the annual use OF th,
farmers of Mississippi of som,
t4o, 900 tons of commercial fertiliz
ers, it seems we'll to inquire as Il
whether the III or 8 million paic
for these is wisely and economically
expended. Investigation prove.
that this is far from the case, anc
that thousands of dollars might be
saved annually by the elimination
of unnecessary elements and by &
closer study of our soil and crop
requirements.
In buying commercial fertilizers
the average Mississippi farmer
wastes money in several ways.
I. By buying, in factory-rnixed
fertilizers, potash, which has never
on any soil in the State given a
profitable return for its cost. See
all of our experiment station tests.
2. By buying fertilizers on the
ton basis, absolutely without regard
to their constituents or their avail
ability, and without regard to the
needs of the soil and the crop to be
fertilized.
8. By depending almost entirely
on commercial fertilizers as source
of plant food, aud overlooking the
fact that cowpeas. stable manure
or some other humus-forming ma
terial can never be dispensed with
if maximum crops are to be grown.
Let us see how those defects shall
be corrected.
I. By eliminating our potash
bill Refuse to buy factory mix
lures containg this element. Buy
high grade 61S per cent meal and
10 per cent acid phosphate and mix
them at home in such proportions
as will meet your soil and crop re-
quirements. Remember that each
ton of factory-mixed fertilizer usu-
ally contains 81. so to $500 worth
of potash which is worth no more
to your crop than so much sand.

BIG COAL LAND DEAL.
Central Coal & Iron Co. DispOses
of Valuable Holdings to
w. A. WickIiffe.

The Louisville-Courier Journal Of
Friday says:
w. ID. McElhinny, of Central City,
president of the Central Coal and
Iron Company, announced last night
at The Seelbach that deal had been
consummated whereby his company
had sold to w. A. Wickliffe, of Green
vile 5000 acres of valuable unde-
veloped coal land. The land dispos-
ed of is along the main line of the
Illinois Central railroad or along in
tersecting lines of the main road, and
extends from Central City to Green
river. This was one of the largest
deals for coal lands made in Western
Kentucky in years and while the f.
nancial consideration involved was
not given 3Ut, K was learned that the
transaction ran into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The purchaser
of the tract of land will Immediately
begin the work of developing the
land, and the expense necessary to
get things in condition to mine the
coal will be several thousand dol
lars.
The sale of the vast tract of land
will in no way affect the operations
of the Central Coal and Iron Com
pany, as this company still has left
something like 10000 acres of land
upon which there are five openings
which produce annually about 700,-
600 tons of coal
