CENSUS ENUMERATORS.
List of Appointments for Will
liamsburg County.

The following list of census emu
merators for Williamsburg county
was received from Mr. j L Niche,
supervisor for the Sixth district,
Friday, too late of course for last
weeks issue of The Record. The
list for the whole district appeared
in the daily papers on Friday; hence
it would seem that the supervisor OF
the census sent the lists of appoint
ments to the daily newspapers at
least day before they were fur
nished the county papers, thereby
precluding the latter from publish
ing the names until the article be-
came stale from a newspaper stand
point.
We publish the list for this coun-
ty below, for the benefit of few
of our readers who possibly missed
seeing it in the daily papers,:

CENTURY CLUB TO-

john Bulls Little Colony Vastly Ex-

GUS Summer.
fev unIon Associated Press.)


Hamilton, Bermuda, July This
little island colony of John Bull, 700
miles out in the Atlantic from New
York is vastly excited at the pros
pect of a strenuous summer. What
with the arrival of the New York-to-
Bermuda yacht and power boat racers
next week and the visit of the Century
Road Club of America later in July,
the month promises to be an exciting
one.
The road club tourists will reach
here July 25 and will spend several
days cycling over the coral roads OF
the islands. On July 81 all business
throughout the colony will be suspend
ed and the entire population will turn
out to witness the bicycle and swim
ming races and the baseball game be
tween a picked Bermuda nine and the
invaders. Although the fairy isles
are British dependency, the Ameri
can national game has become popu
lar, and the colony boasts several goot
mines. Baseball is played here the
year round and threatens to replace
cricket in popular favor.

COTTON EXPERTS
PROBE INDUSTRY
Brazil Intends to Apply Modern N TIL
DDS to Her Cotton Culture and In
tends to Increase Cultivation.
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, July THE Brazilian
Ministry of Agriculture has made ar
rangements to send to the United
States a well-known specialist in cot
ton growing for the purpose Of visit
ing the Southern States to study
American methods of cotton growing
and obtain a number of American ex-
perts to go to Brazil to further the in
terests of cotton cultivation in that
country, according to report OF Uni
ted States Consul General J. J. Schle-
ia, of Rio Janeiro.
It Is intended to have these Ameri-
can experts travel throughout the cot
ton-growing sections of Brazil and act
as inspectors, and especially as in
structors.
very strong representations have
been made to the Brazilian Depart
ment of Agriculture by influential men
of the cotton-growing States in North
ern Brazil" says Mr.. Schleta, tending
to demonstrate that if proper instruc-
ton for the scientific training of cot
ton growers be given, the cotton pro-
duction would be greatly increased.
Large areas or northern Brazil
have as their only source of wealth
the products of the cotton fields, and
with the development which is sure to
come with modern methods Of culture
cotton growing would become the
third greatest industry Of Brazil. The
expert is to give particular attention
to irrigation as used in cotton growing
inasmuch as some of the best cotton
growing lands of Brazil require irriga
tion to obtain the best results. Ii
view of the fact that Brazil is proba
bly, the only country other than the
United States which possesses lands
capable of cotton production on {
really large scale, this step is of con
siderable significance"

GREAT IMPROVEMENTS
ARE CONTEMPLATED
Old Building May be Torn Down and
Grounds Converted Into Beautiful
Park-other Rumors as to What
Will be Done With Property.

One of the largest realty transac-
tions which has taken place in the
city of Hattieburg during the past
several months, was practically con-
summated yesterday afternoon when
the Gulf and Ship Island railroad
Company bargained with Mr.. A. F.
Draughn for the purchase of the Fa-
bacher Hotel and Restaurant proper
ty, at the corner of Mobile and Front
streets, the price agreed upon being
$4,000.
A good deal of significance attaches
to this transaction, and much specu'
lation is being INDUCED in as to
what disposition the railroad company
will make of the property. 1t has
been stated, but the statement has
not been officially confirmed, that the
ruins of the hotel which was recently
destroyed by fire will be torn dowr
and cleared away, and the ground
converted into a beautiful little park
with flowers, evergreens, hedges
fountains and other accessories at
tractive to the eye.
Another rumor is to the effect thai
a handsome new building will be
erected upon part Of the lot, to be
used exclusively. perhaps, as office:
for G. & S. 1. officials. 1t is pretty
certain that one of these two rlmors
is true, but no official statement will
be given out until the formal transfer
of the property is made, which will
probably be this afternoon.
The psfce agreed upon for the prop
erty, in addition to the $4,000 fire in
surance recently collected, is an in
dication of its desirability and an evi
dence that there has been no percepti
BILE decrease in valuation during the
past few years.

MIR. H. A. CAMP IS
IN ATTENDANCE
Vice President for Each County in the
state: Will be Appointed, and other
important Business Transacted at
Thia Meeting.

Mr.. Fl. A. Camp left this morning
for Jackson, where he goes to attend
a meeti ng Of the executive committee
of the Mississippi Land improvement
Association, which was formed at the
Statewide immigration Convention in
June, and of which he is member.
At this meeting a vice-president for
each county in the state will be ar
pointed, and arrangements will be
made for the establishment of three
divisional headquarters of the associa-
tion at convention points in the state.
The Executive Committee of the
Land Improvement Association is
composed of eight members, one from
each congressional district in the
state, and the meeting at Jackson to-
day is for the purpose of further per-
fecting the organization and putting
it on a solid basis Plans for the
campaign for the development Of the
idle lands of Mississippi will proba-
bly, be perfected and the work of in
ducing homeseekers to locate in the
state will be commenced immediate
| ly.
From the three divisional headquar-
ters which will be established will be
disseminated all information pertain
ing to the character of land which will
be offered for sale in their respective
sections, the climate, educational and
social advantages and the opportuni-
ties offered for investment in these
lands. ,r~F
A campaign for $4,000 members has
been started, the membership fee be-
ing s1.00 per year, the proceeds
to be applied to the expenses incident
to advertising the lands which will be
offered for sale. 1t is believed that
it will not be a difficult matter to en-
list very large membership within a
comparatively short time, as the in
terest in the movement is statewide
and the influence in the organization
will'extend to every section Of Missis-
sippi alike.
Forrest county is calculating upon
a membership of at least 1000, and
from the interest which has been
manifested in the movement it seems
very probable that this figure will be
exceeded before the close of the year.
Slf. H, A. Camp, executive committee.
man from this district, has always
been a staunch advocate of the agri.
cultural development of the piney
woods, andpthere can be no doubt
that the if rests of this section will
be capably represented by him.
The meeting at Jackson is looked
upon with great degree of signifi-
canoe, as it means the beginning of an
end which has been hoped for for
many years, and which, until now
has never been near enough to fur
nish the amount of enthusiasm and
interest which was necessary to It's
accomplishment.
Mr.. Camp said, when leaving, that
he hoped to have Hattiesburg named
as one of the divisional headquarters
