MissIssIPPPs MISTAKE.

The lumber trade press and the daily
press have had considerable to say
recently in regard to the attitude OF
the State of Mississippi toward cor
porations, which, in that common
wealth, are permitted by law to own
but limited valuation of property.
The folly is all the greater when
State is especially DESTROYS of attract
ing industry and settlers. Corpora
lions oflarge capital do more to develop
the resources of State, to employ
labor, to put up mammoth factories or
mills, than can any number of individ-
uals or corporations of limited re-
sources.
However, despite the attitude Of the
Lawmakers of Mississippi and of the
executors of the law, there are loyal

ATTEMPT To BREAK
CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 22.-In an effort
to break the strike of the eight thou
sand or more union cigar-makers
which has been in progress here for
more than two months, the Antuone
factory today threw open its doors
and declared for the "open shop"
None of the former employees applied
for work, however 1t is declared that
threats of violence sdeters non-union
cigar-makers from seeking places in
the open shop factories here.

THESE DEGENERATE DAYS.

Woe, woe is Mississippi!
She hath fallen into the mire and her
children are bespattering one another
with the filth.
She hath fallen from the high estate
wherein to call one of her sons in the
past a liar was to insure difficulty,
and to intimate dishonesty meant a
funeral for somebody P. D. @.
Now the evil days are upon us, and
one Mississippian calleth another a
thief and a rascal; that man riseth up
and maketh a face at the other fellow
and saith in loud voice, You're an
other!"
And one crieth aloud on the highway
and byways, "He is a scoundrel,
|deadbeat and liar" and that one
forthwith replies, Hes CRATER,
tool, and a brazen reprobate
And yet another saith of his COM
petitor, HE is drunkard, hog steal
er and a man of shame" that one re-
torteth with Hes a common malefac-
tor, the truth amt in him and he ought
to be hanged"
Woe, woe is Mississippi,for the voice
of the politician yappeth abroad in the
land and the words partisan gugleman
are as many as the sands of the sea
and as tiresome as the dry fly in Aug
ust, and decency seemeth to have scat
tered to the tall timber.
The dinky derringer has been for
gotten; the neigh of the Colt is not
heard; therefore these rawlings and re-
vilements, while the people holdeth
their noses and crieth aloud and there
is none to comfort them.

HAWAII'S BIG VOLCANIC.
Curious Relics of Lava-It Has Lett 'r

the Forests.
Hawaii possesses one of the greaV'S'
natural wonders of the present Gay
world-a live volcano rs high as NesU-
yius and twice its diameter
Kilauea, on the island of HAWAII
stands thirty miles from the sea In Il
mountain range in which are three
dead volcanoes and one partially alive.
This last, called Mauna Loa. from time
to time sends streams of lava down
its slopes. In 1881 three streams burst
forth from the sides of this mountain
and one Of them came within three
quarters Of mile of Hilo, the chief
city of the island. There have been
several outbreaks of kilauea In the
last hundred years. In 1910 there was
a brilliant eruption of lava. the light
of which, it was said, could be seen q
hundred miles away. while at the dis
lance of forty miles one could read
print at midnight.
Where the lava flowed through the
forest it has left curious relics in lava
arches, bridges and great vases. These
vases were formed by the lava pilinS
itself about some lofty tree trunk
burning away the wood within ant
killing the upper part of the tree. Ii

ed in the open top, filed with decayin!

Mr.. Bates Gay planted this year
nearly an acre in sunfiowers for his
hogs and chickens, and says that they
prefer the sunfiower seed to corn. Next
year he will largely increase the acre

Russia and other foreign countries the
sunflower is a prominent crop, afford

largely used for oil.-Aberdeen Exam

The corn crop in Mississippi is so
large that farmers are talking about
exporting grain next year. Doesn't
this seem some encouraging? Ever
since the civil war farmers in this
state have been buying corn from the
west, but the experts sent out by the
agricultural department have proven
to them that Mississippi soil is as well
adapted to the growing Of corn as to
the culture of cotton, and hereafter
they intend to raise enough for them
selves, but will spare John Bull a

Two Dwellings are Set Afire Yesterday
Morning---lncendary Dynamites the
Water Main---Suspect Placed Under
Arrest.

the morning Chief Malley removed
the prisoner to the county Jail,
for safe keeping. When the news
spread that the water supply had
been cut off, it was feared for a
time that a lynching would take
place.
Fred A. Burnham, general man
ager of the company, as soon as
he was informed of the state of
affairs, started out over the pipe
line and about a mile north of
town discovered that the line had
been dynamited. The force of the
explosion destroyed two lengths of
the pipe and pieces were found
within radius of $50 feet Mr.
Burnham hastily returned to town
and sent a force of men out to
repair the break Extra lengths
of the pipe were connected and by
ten o'clock the damage was fully
repaired.
Several of the employees of the
Tonopah and Goldfield railroad
yards informed the police yester-
day that they had heard the noise
caused by the explosion, and fixed
the time at shortly after l o'clock.
William Vorlaufer, who conducts a
chicken ranch about a quarter of
hi -
pipe line was wrecked, stated that
he had been awakened sometime
between l and O'Clock by the
barking of the dogs, and it is
thought that the animals sounded
the return of the party or parties
who were responsible for the dy-
namiting.
The records at the water COM
pany office show that the break oc-
Cured at 1:10 o'clock as the pres
sure which is generally held at so
pounds to the square inch, vanished
completely.
| About o'clock a second alarm
was turned in and the department
fastened to the southern section
of the town. The residence own
ed by Mike Hurley and occupied
by Mrs. Reeves, was ablaze, and
owing to the absence of the water
the dwelling was completely de.
stroyed in a short space of time
} The fremen concentrated their ef'
forts an an endeavor to save the
furnishings, but SO rapidly cid The
flames spread that it was almost

and had retired to bed. She fel
asleep and was awakened by the
