BEHAVING. WELL
Very Few Cases Against Members Of
This Race in Police Court During
Past Several Days.

Whether due to the fact that the
police have the negro element under
better control or an unusual desire of
the "cullud pusson'' to be good and
behave himself, it has been noticeable
during the past several days that but
few negroes have been arraigned and
tried in the police court.
Probably the heaviest docket in ten
days was disposed Of by Judge Davis
this morning, when three or four
'coons" were called upon to explain
why they should not refrain from
quarreling and interfering with the
peace of families. None of the charg-
es were serious, however, and the
culprits, when proven guilty, were
given penalties in accordance with
the gravity of the offense.
Recent prosecution of worthless and
vicious negro characters has evident
ly had the effect to put a quietus on
their Objectionable behavior, and the
police department is to be congratula
ted for it's good work along these
| lines.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Feb. S.-The ne
groes of the community are again
much wrought up over the presence
of some religious leaders of their col
or who represent sect called the
Tongues" C. H. Mason, their lead
er, has been holding meetings here
for a week or two. Anna Lee Davis
was today the subject of lunacy in
quest which, it is said, is the result
of her association with this sect. A
day or two ago she was laid out" as
they call it, under conviction. The
leaders have been constantly praying
over her and trying, as they said, to
"bring her through" The strain was
more than she could bear and she
broke under. The jury this morning
declared her insane, and the physi
clans say it is the result of nervous
strain from a hypnotic influence. A
year or two ago this sect got start
here and had quite following among
the negroes, which caused division
in the colored church here. A law
suit followed which involved the ow
nership of the church property, which
continued for year or two.

CANE INDUSTRY A
PROFITABLE one
Planters Around Mccomb City, Miss,
Receive Large Orders From Far
Away Canada.
Special to The NeWS.

Special to The NetoS.
McComb City, Miss, Feb. S.-The
manufacture and sale of cane syrup
is for the enrichment of the people of
this section, as is shown by the fact
that or late the orders for the syrup
have come in to the merchants in
large numbers, and at fancy prices.
Many of the orders came from Texas,
Minnesota, North Dakota and even as
far away as Canada.
In view of the ignorance of cane
products evidenced by those communi-
cations. and the rapidly growing i'm
portance of the cane crop in this
county and section, campaign of ed
ucation is being organized to exploit
the profitable field which seems to
offer for this staple in the northern
country.
Extensive preparations are being
made by the Farmers Union ware
houses to handle all of the business
of the Farmers Union members dur
ing the coming season, and the man.
agement of the warehouse has been
quite successful in having all of the

HATTIEsBURG ALSO
HAS THE TONGUES
But So Far As Is Known Negroes
Have Not Taken Kindly to The New
Religion-A Peculiar Religious
|. Sect. /,

That the new religious sect known
as the Tongues" has gotten hold up
on colored people of the South is
evidenced almost daily by dispatches
in the newspapers giving reports Of
some new departure of the workings
and effects of the mania upon those
who have been touched by it.
1t is believed that this new faith
among the negroes is an outgrowth or
result of a desire to initiate the ways
of a certain. religious sect known as
the "Apostolic Faith" which has es-
tablished during the past several
months missions in several southern
cities.
One of these missions was estab-
lished few months ago in Hatties-
burg, and while it is understood that
negroes do not attend the meetings
they have learned enough of the work
ings of the faith to be able to initiate
itfsuccessfully, but up to this time nc
negro branch of the sect has been Or.
ganized here while the white believ
ers in the new religion have held
nightly meetings for more than two
months.
The following special from Halle
hurst will serve to convey an idea OF
the effect it has had upon members OF
the colored race:

ARE Behind With

Jackson, Miss, Feb. Farming
preparations in Mississippi are nearly
a month behind time, according to
prominent planters from all parts of
the state who have been at the capi-
tai during the past week.
The backwardness of the season is
attributed chiefly to the intensely
cold weather prevailing during the
month Of January, making it impossi-
BILE to do any amount Of work in the
fields, and only a small percentage
of the acreage has been broken.
1t is generally conceded that the
diversified farming policy this year
will be more generally adopted than
ever before. especially over the South
