WILD FIGHT ON TRAIN.
Priest Who Became insane at Con-
fessional Resists Officers.

Priest Who Became Insane at Con-
fessional Resists Officers.
Gulfport. Stricken with insanity in
its most violent form while in the con
fessional box, Rev. Father S. Grimel,
pastor of st. Johns Catholic Church,
rushed out into the crowded edifce
and created small panic. Several
male worshipers oyerpowered the
priest and called the police by tele-
phone. 1t was necessary to put him
in irons pending arrangements for his
transfer to an asylum in New Orleans.
When officers removed Father Gri-
mel to the railroad station he fought
his guards at every step. After board
ing a train for New orleans the priest
escaped from the officers and retreat
ed to the rear platform of coach.
The conductor was in the front part of
the train and was not aware of the dis
turbance. He gave the signal to pro
ceed, and with the train rushing at
speed of fifty miles an hour desper-
ate encounter between the priest and
two officers was waged.
The three men struggled down to
the lower step of the platform and it
was only by miracle that they were
not hurled under the wheels and
ground to death. The train was
stopped after proceeding a mile with
the insane priest and his captors cling
ing to the brake rods.

Central Point for Border Counties Of
Mississippi and Alabama.
Meridian.-Quite a number of Ne
ridian people feel elated over the pros
poets of the success Of the proposed
fair in Lauderdale county next year.
Secretary NJ. c. Moore, Of the Ne
ridian board Of trade and cotton ex-
change, is quite enthusiastic over the
outlook. He says that a fair in Me-
ridian viii be an unqualified success,
and the vast territory tributary to Me-
ridian will contribute literally to any
efforts set forth towards this end.
II has been suggested that an inter-
state fair be held and that the coun-
ties of Alabama on the border of
Lauderdale. Choctaw and Sumter and
probably Washington and Pickens
county, Alabama, viii join.
The counties of Mississippi, to
which Meridian is the metropolis. are
Noxubee, Jasper and Clark, all touch
ing on the borders of Lauderdale.
Notwithstanding the fact that Kem-
per county on the north, Clarke on the
south and Neshoba on the west, hold
annual fairs, this would not conflict.
but would more than likely add to the
central event, in which all the coun-
ties could participate. bringing the at
fractions from the two county fairs to

planters will run up into thousands
Of dollars, If conditions ut Parchman

dication of what the cold weather has

superintendent Neyland of the state
farms has sent to Secretary Yerger a
sample of the second growth bolls,
which were unopened, showing this
cotton has been completely destroyed.
Parchman farm is in the delta, and
conditions even worse exist, it is be-
lieved, north Of that place. The sec
ond growth, which usually amounts to
fairly good crop, will amount to but
little this year, owing to the frost and
freeze.
In the extreme southern part of the
state cotton was not so badly dam
aged, but there will be some loss
there, while the farmers of the entire
state viii feel the loss, some of them
rather heavily.

Union Members Will Watch Well

Jackson.-Should the general mem
bership Of the Mississippi Farmers
Union organization be guided and gov
erned during the next state compaign
by the platform or report Of the COM
mittee on resolutions, which amounts
to practically the same thing, the
twenty-five or thirty thousand or more
members throughout the state will
watch well their ballots cast in the
general primaries.
That report declares unequivocally
for the election of senators and repre-
sentatives in the legislature who may
be depended on to bring about a re-
duction of the contract rate of inter-
est, from 10 to 8 per cent. It also adj
vocates the repeal of the county at
torney act, with its attendant "un-
necessary salaries, at the earliest pos
sible moment; still further curtail-
ment of the volume of realty that can
be acquired by corporations; declares
against "the immigration into this
state and the United States of unde-
sirables; the brownish race of South
ern Europe and Northern ASIA" the
enactment of bond issue measure for
the purpose of defraying running ex-
penses of the state government, and
other matters believed by the com
mittee to be in the pathway of reform.

HIeHTowER RE.ELEcTEp.
Again Chosen to Lead Mississippi
Farmers Union.

Farmers Union.
Jackson.-Mr. G. r. Hightower was
reelected president of the Mississippi
Branch, Farmers Union at a meeting
of the delegates of that organization
at the capitol Wednesday evening,
and the other officers follow:
Vice-President, ]. w. Boatright;
secretary treasurer, Miss Emma
Smith; chaplain, Rev. R. A. N. VIII
son; state lecturer, NJ. A. Brown; con-
ductor, w. A. Dunaway; doorkeeper,
A. Blanton.
The office Of business agent, which
has been so acceptably filed by Capt.
]. L. Collins was abolished. This
action had been expected, and was
not a surprise to the delegates. Capt.
Collins declined to allow his name to
be presented for reelection, and no
one else was offered. The office was
abolished, it is said, on recommenda-
tion of President Hightower.
There was lively contest for ex-
ecutive committeeman. Only one Of
the old members would let his name
be presented, and that was under pro
test. Ben Ward was reelected by ac-
clamation, but there were many names
presented for the other four positions
on the committee. DR.. L. E. Martin
and w A. Dunaway were elected on
the first ballot, and H. J. Scott and
Arnot Smith on the second.
With the reports all submitted and
officers for the next year elected, the
business of the meeting was practical
ly wound up. There was the usual
session Thursday to wind up the af
fairs Of the convention, but the at
tendance was not as large as on pre-
vious days.
There were lis delegates at We'd
nesday's meeting, though there were
probably 200 farmers here for the con-
yention, most of whom occupied seats
in the hall during the sessions.

To Engage Expert to Breed Cotton
Pest Cannot Destroy.


Jacksonville state of Mississippi,
through the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, will endeayor to
breed a variety of cotton that viii.
withstand the ravages of the boil vice.
vii. This was decided upon at the
meeting of the trustees here last week
when it was decided to establish a
new department for this purpose.
The weevil is spreading rapidly
over the state, and President ]. S.
Sexton aud his fellow trustees regard
it as one of the duties of the A. & M.
College, through one of the several ex-
pertinent stations, to solve this prob
lem for the farmers. With this OBJ
ject in view, they will engage an ex-
pert, whose duties it will be to ex-
pertinent with cotton and the weevil
till he has succeeded in breeding va
riety of cotton the weevil cannot de-
stroy.
1t is the purpose of the trustees to
arrange all details and shape up the
new departments in time to begin ex-
perimenting next year. Much has been
learned about the weevil the last few
years, and the man who takes charge
Of this department will have the ad-
vantage of past experiences to guide
him in his work.

Jackson.-At a meeting Of the state

an order was passed directing that
hereafter no cattle will be allowed to
be shipped into counties where the
work Of eradication of the cattle tick

have been twice dipped in the regular

This dipping must be done under

This is conformity with the regula-
