come under their observation, and shall
be reported within ten days after know
ledge of such cases come to them un-
der penalties provided. They are also
required to report the deaths or recov-
cry of all cases treated by them. After
these cases are reported, the sec retary
of the Board of Health is required to
send printed blanks to the patients
giving information of the prevention
and cure of the disease and all other
information as may be deemed proper
and necessary by the board.
In this connection a bi-clinical labo-
ratory is to be established under the
supervision of the Board of Health and
a specially trained physician put in
charge, whose duty it shall be to make
examinations of all sputum and other
matter submitted to him and make re-
port on same. In fact, an active cam =
paign is to be inaugurated in this State
to prevent the spread, and combat the
ravages, of the white plague. The labo-
ratory will, in all probability, be incor-
porated as feature of the State Charity
Hospital authorized by the Legislature
to be located at Jackson, and for the
erection of which all arrangements have
been perfected to the point of adver-
tising for bids and specifications to
be submitted at the September meeting
of the Board of Trustees.
There are, of course, many people in
the State who are, or may become
afflicted with pulmonary diseases VIII 0
are unable to pay for their treatment,
and these can take advantage of the
opportunity provided by the establish :
ment of a charity hospital, and at the
same time their presence in the hos :
pital would add to the opportunity OF
the physician in charge of the labora
tory and the State Board of Health to
watch the disease and study its progr ess,
prevention and cure.

Some of the members of the Cotton
States League of base ball clubs have
evidently seeded from the union Of law
and order and started small-sized civil
war among themselves. AT Jackson, a
few nights ago, a free-for-all, knock
down and -drag-out fight occurred al
one of the hotels between an umpire
and half dozen players, which resulted
in a victory for the "ump" and an in
creased exchequer of justice of the
peace, who fined the belligerents. Al
Meridian, day or two later, another
ball player was artistically carved by a
laundryman and may lose his life

LANDS REDEEMED.

Swamp Land Commissioner Gillespie
has been kept busy this month receipt
ing for taxes on lands that have been
forfeited to the State for n-payment
of taxes. The average amount received
bv the swamp land com missioner for 80
days is something like 500, but, with
the month only half gone, that amount
has been exceeded by nearly $500. Most
of these redemptions hav 9 been made
of lands located in Harrison county, and
a large share of these are town lots in
Gulfport. These lots were placed on
the market by land spectators and sold
to purchasers at very low price, but
oft-repeated assertions that Gulfport
had arrived at about the height OF its
importance were made, and, after pay
ing taxes on them for several years, the
owners became convinced that the in
vestment would never amount to any
thing and let them 60 back to the State.
Now some of the same parties are pur-
chasing them for the second time-this
time. however, from the land commits
sioner, who reports the sales so far this
month as almost double that Of any
other month since he has been in office.
Several years ago large ct of land
was forfeited to the State in tn South
ern part of Mississippi, one town, that
of McHenry, going almost as an en-
tirety, but an era of activity has struck
that section, and, instead of letting
their lands go back to the State rather
than to paw taxes on them, they are now
glad of the chance to redeem them, and
many are taxing advantage of the op-
portunity. This is a healthy sign and
shows that the people of the State are
regaining confidence in its future, and
see for Gulfport one of the largest and
most important ports OF the South on
the completion of the Panama Canal,
and are getting ready for the boom that
is bound to come. Most of the lands
held by the State subject to redemption
are located near the seacoast, and some
of them are valuable. Among these
are lots in Bay ST. Louis and Saucier
CITY. and large tract on Lowry's
Island, which, however, is valuable only
for hunting and fishing purposes.

The Picnic.

I'm the afternoon the candidates
for Congress went to bat. They are
fine speakers and handled their discus
sion well. Messrs. Tally and Harriso n
were first On the stage, and their disc US
sions as to what they stand for was W ell
taken, but after the "mullet chaser
and farmer, Frank Lewis, finished his
discussion as to what he stands for, it
seemed as if the "wind had changed"
and blowed in the direction of Scran ton. .
His talk was fine, and every word he
uttered seemed to have effect. Frank
Lewis had votes in this section before
he spoke, and adding before and after
together it makes long list of figures
that will be hard to overcome.

Despite the exercise of extraordinary
precautions, the dreaded boil weevil is
making its appearance again in many
sections of the State, and the recent
copious rains have served to make the
insect thrive as never before. The rail-
roads in some of the Southern States
have established quarantine against
cotton being shipped in from infected
districts. Agricultural experts are do
ing their best to cope with the situation
along the lines of giving advice, while
the farmer is making slow headway in
getting his crops out of the grass.

The manly and straightforward talk
of President E. A. Fitzgerald, of the
Mississippi Press Association, in re-

His printed address, published in most

 MOTOR COLLISION New Fire Fighter Runs Into
 Freight Train. ONE SIDE IS WRECKED
ONE SIDE IS WRECKED
Three Men Are Severely Bruised, Hut They Think It Miraculous That Someone Was Not Killed
 at inc Crossing.

What threatened to be very serious accident, but which resulted in injuries to only two men, occurred yesterday shortly after noon when the motor hose and chemical fire wagon Of station No. il collided with a Seaboard freight train at the crossing at Sixteenth street and Tenth avenue, north. Fireman Jones, who was driving the machine, Moser and Sud- dith received injuries of a more or less serious nature. Suddith jumped from the fire engine when he saw the col lision was about to take place and his back was painfully sprained Moser's hip was wrenched and Driver Jones received several bruises about the arms.
 In trying to run around the train the right side of sthe fire motor was caught by the on-coming box car and all the fixings and paraphernalia on that side of the machine were torn or and com pletely wrecked The headlight, the springs. the runnig board. the hand-rails and other fixtures were completely stripped from the machine.
 Fireman Graves, the regular driver of the auto car, was not working yesterday and the machine had been left in the hands of MT. Jones. An alarm had been rung in from 7oa North sixteenth street and the motor car was coming down the hill on Sixteenth street at top speed Driver Jones claimed that he saw the freight backing down the track toward the crossing but it seemed about to stop, and he supposed the engineer had seen him coming and was going to stop to let the fire engine go by. lie continued toward the crossing at full speed until he was almost to it when he suddenly realized that the freight had not stopped and that the two would meet fairly on the crossing. MT. Jones said it was too late to slacken the speed of the car and the only thing to do was to try and run to the front of the train. He turned the machine and had the train been a foot further away the car would have passed As it was the train, which was backing, caught the car and the wreck resulted
 The machine was lowed to the freight depot and will be shipped as soon as possible to the Webb Motor Fire Appara- tus company, Vincennes. Ind, where it was manufactured. for repairs. The fire men who were in the mixup are con- graduating themselves on the fact that someone did not get killed.
