Vicksburg. Miss, Jan. 25.-George
Burdett, car tagger on the Y. and
M. ". Railroad at this place, was tied
to the railroad track by robbers and
was rescued by an aged negro only a
lew moments before a train came
dashing along.
Burdette was held up by two men,
who threatened to cut his throat be-
cause he said he had no pencil with
which to endorse check they had ia
ken from his pocket After abusing
him considerably, the men overpower-
ed and bound him to the rails, using
Burdettes own belt, necktie and shirt
for the purpose.
Burdette knew that it was almost
time for a train to pass that point
and as soon as the two men had disap-
peared he began to yell at the top of
his voice, all the while Juggling at his
fastenings. But the struggle was un.
awaiting, and finally he heard the
whistle of the oncoming train, and
then the glitter of the headlight fell
upon him.
Fortunately, an old negro, who
CHANGED to be passing near the place,
heard Burdette's cries and managed
to release him just before the train
came upon his PROSTATE form.
One arrest was made in the case
Yesterday, but the suspect was re-
leased Xhan Rprdette said he was not

What Has Been Done.

AS demonstrating what can actually
be done with these lands Mr.. D. EN-
met McInnis, president of the McInni'
Lumber Company, who has done
much practical experimenting in The
cultivation OF cut-over pine lan1s
makes the following statement
ITO begin with, will say tia, We
have an ideal country for the pro-
duction of a great many necessi-
ties of life. Our climate is delight
ful, especially so in the winter.
Our soil is peculiarly ADAPTED TO

and other staple products. | have
had more or less interest in the
development of this pine land and
have given it some study and
have spent, some money expert
meuting and demonstrating. F-r
instance, | removed the stumps
from about one hundred and forty
acres of this land and have cult
waited nearly everything in differ
ent ways and at different times.
| find the most profitable crops
we can grow are sugar cln".
sweet potatoes, strawberries. TO-
matoes and cabbage. | grew
sweet potatoes at a cost of $3.50
per 100 bushels. this includes the
harvesting, and raised an aver g
of 443 bushels of these potatoes
to the acre, with nine acres in
cultivation. / also grew the same
year on As acres of this land a
crop of sugar cane which averag-
ed $50 gallons per acre and this
syrup was sold at fifty-fiye cents
per gallon. The net cost of rails
ing this cane Including cans and
cases was 80 cents per gallon.
1t was put up into tin cans and |
had a ready sale for it. | canned
the sweet potatoes also. whic
netted me siyty-one cents per
bushel
viii say that up to this time,
which was in 1905, the assertion
was made that | would make q
failure in canning sweet potatoes.
canned them with perfec sue
cess and had a ro1dy sale lof
same.
With reference to straWbeYI les,
tried one and one-half acres of
them and according to the state
ment Of my" Superintendent We
gathered and sold $S54.C0 worth
Of berries.
Now the idea prevails among
many people who do not know
anything about the productive
qualities of this land, that it is
too poor to grow anything, that
it takes too mach work and that
it takes too much Fertilizer to pr
duce; this is q mistaken idea. Il
is true we have TO fertilize orr
lands, but the cultivation is much
easier than in richer sections.
Any man can make a success at
any avocation with effort.
Now with reference to clearing
this land you ian plJepare it for
cultivation for 9bquf one dollar
per acre provided a man is willing
to cultivate with the stumps TO
remove the stumps, it will cost
about twelve dollars per ace.
OF course, my idea is, to remove
the stumps when you can use i'm
proved implements. Now to make
long story short, there is no
