A Narrow Escape.

George Hunt and Harry dickens
met with what might have proved a
very serious accident Saturday after :
noon. Mr.. Hunt had carried Mr..
Dickens to East Charleston on bust
ness and on their return came down
by what is called Saltwater on the
river. Before coming to the bridge
they had driven through water that
was more than foot in depth for the
better part of a mile. AS they ap-
preached the bridge they noticed that
although the river seemed very high,
the bridge, which was comprised of
logs, appeared perfectly safe, and so
they made the attempt to cross. The
moment the horses struck the bridge
the logs separated and left the horses
struggling in the river. 1t was with
the utmost difficulty that the horses
were saved and this as done through
the heroic efforts of Mr.. Hunt, who
Immediately plunged waist deep in
to the icy waters unhitched them
from the sleigh while Mr.. Dickens
held their heads above water by the
reins. Both gentlemen were thor
oughly drenched but succeeded in OBJ
tanning dry clothing at farmhouses
and seem none the worse for their
wintry bath.

Captain, His Wife, and Grew
Rescued by Brave Fishermen

EdgartOwn, Mass, Jan. "a
Schooner Mertie B. Crowley, one of
the few six-masters flying the Ameri-
can flag, is a total wreck on the reefs
off the southeast end of Martha's
Vineyard island.
Already the Crowley has broken in
two and great seas are fast making
smithereens of her once, stout tim
bers. She was bound from Baltimore
for Boston, with coal.
Mrs. Haskell, Captain Haskell
and the crew of thirteen of the
Crowley were rescued in the most
daring manner by Captain Levi Jack
son and his stout hearted crew OF
four men on the fishing boat Pris-
ella from Edgartown. Using both
steam and auxiliary motor, and
luffed by the Viking, another local
fisherman, the boat was forced
through the heavy seas that had
beaten back other would-be rescuers,
and upon reaching the Crowley S
wreck the dories were launched, each
rowed by one man. Into the dories
Mrs. Haskell and the others sprang
from the schooner's side, and all were
safely taken aboard the Priscilla.
The shippers brave wife, like the
others, had been dashed for ten hours
to the rigging of the battered schoon-
err, the hull of which was entirely
submerged and broke in two.

RAISE funds TO
ADVERTISE STATE
Land Improvement Asso
citation Wants at Least $4,000
for That Purpose.

Jackson, Miss, June 23.-To raise
a fund of at least $4,000 to be ex-
pended within the next year in at
tracting to Mississippi desirable
class of white immigrants, and to
wage a systematic campaign of ad-
vertising setting forth the industrial
and agricultural possibilities of Mis-
sissippi, is the declared purpose Of
officers of the Mississippi Land I'M
provement Association.
That this sum can be raised within
the next thirty days is the implicit be.
lief of the organization, and an ag-
gressive campaign for the contribu-
tions to the cause will be Immediately
launched.
More than $4,000 was pledged be-
fore the adjournment of the conven.
tion yesterday. The first official &C.
tion of President P. H. Saunders and
Secretary L. E. Davis will be to send
out an address to the merchants,
bankers, farmers, lawyers, and other
business men of the commonwealth,
setting forth briefly the plans formula
ted by the convention, and urging
them to contribute to the cause.
Great enthusiasm was shown yester-
day when the work of raising the pub
licity fund was taken up. Hon. |. C.

Southwest Mississippi today, that
profitable cotton raising was a thing
of the past. Time and experience
have, of course, taught them better
just as those of us who now think as
they did will change our views.
81 do not believe that today you will
find town of its size in the whole
South that can surpass the town of
Nacogdoches and Nacogdoches coun-
ty in evidences of material prosperity.
Business men and farmers alike are
optimistic and agree that business has
never been so good before and that
never before have there been such
bank deposits Of farmers money.
when asked why. they will almost
, invariably tell you that the coming of
the boil weevil compelled the adop-
tion Of diversification and better
methods of farming. Their county
was once an almost all cotton county,
just as ours has too largely been. Now
they supply their own hogs and mules,
grain and hay, and when this is done
they raise cotton as a surplus cash
crop, and are making money at it.
Further, you will be told that the de-
gre of a mans success in raising cot
ton depends on the closeness with
which he follows the government cul-
tural methods. These facts were
gathered from personal interviews
with Mr.. Schmidt, senior member of
the firm Of Schmidt & Mayer, the
biggest cotton buyers in that terri
tory; with Mr.. F. H. Tucker, cashier
of the Commercial National Bank Of
Nacogdoches; and many other busi-
ness men and farmers. These men
will gladly verify my statements.
This letter is perhaps too long for
you to publish in full, but l will be
glad for you to pass on to your friends
as many as possible of its essential
facts. There is no question but what
these people have followed the only
rational method in combating the
weevil, and it Is up to us to follow
heir example. Further, if we can
put into practice these methods be-
'ore our panic comes, then we may be
sure that it will never come to the
business aid farming interests of
south Mississippi.
Very truly yours,

BOIL WEEV|L SITUATION
DISCUSSED BY Mr., MOSS

! The following letter from Mr.. B. L.
Moss, district agent of the United
States Department of Agriculture, will
doubtless be interesting to farmers of
this section:
Il have just returned from trip
through East Texas, and think that
you would be interested to know of
present conditions there and the
means that have resulted in the great
degree of prosperity that that whole
section now enjoys. Our trip was
made with an especial view to inves-
tigating the weevil situation In Ease
Texas, and on this account terri
tory as nearly similar to ours as DOS
sible was selected. One of the most
important trade centers visited, Ma
cogdoches, is in the center of a terri
tory that in many ways is very like
that surrounding Brookhaven. In the
first place, Nacogdoches and Brook.
haven are almost exactly on an east
and west line, so that their summer
and winter temperatures run about the
same. Second a comparison of the
weather records shows that there is
not much difference in the annual
rainfall of the two places. Third, it
Is hill section, in many respects like
that of South Mississippi, mostly
worked by white farmers, as is the
case with us. Fourth, the amount of
timber, thickets and ravines surround
ing the fields is certainly no less than
ours.
With country possessing so many
points of similarity with ours, it seems
to me We can not go far wrong in
assuming that what their experience
with the boil weevil has been, ours
will be. Now let us see just how this
pest affected this section of East
Texas. Before the weevil came the
county averaged about $4,000 bales a
year. The first serious year with the |
veevil they were cut 5,400 bales; in |
1908 they had gotten back to over
1000. or four-fifths of their previous
formal crop, and in 1909, despite a
most exceptionally unfavorable year,
hey made over 1000 bales. Busi-
less men and farmers agree that they
ecame panic-stricken and that all
arming interests were almost para
wed. A great dea' of labor sought
he public works, and many were firm
? convinced, as are many people in

of the Mississippi A. & M. College,
is one of the foremost manufacturers
and industrial promoters in the state.
He is pioneer in the lumber indus
try, owns several hundred thousand
acres of virgin yellow pine lands in
South Mississippi, is vice pres
ident of the Interstate Trust
& Banking Company at New
Orleans, and is closely identi-
fed with dozen or more manufac-
turing and industrial enterprises.
The executive committee will within
the next few days name the list of d..
rectors, one to be appointed from each
county in the state, and it is through
this organization that the body expects
to accomplish its work. The plan of
organization adopted is regarded as
practical in every respect, and it is
the intention of the officers and the
executive committee to select only
such persons as directors who will
take an active and aggressive interest
In the work.
The association must necessarily be
supported by private contributions
until the next legislative session is
held, and during the next two-year
it is hoped and believed that such a
splendid showing will be made that
the legislature will readily grant an
appropriation of $4,000 to continue
the work.
One commendable result already ac-
complished is the awakening of inter-
est in the great expositions and state
fairs to be held in Northern and East
ern states during the present year,
and the formulation of plans to send
exhibits of Mississippi's agricultural
resources to those events. Displays
will be forwarded to the great land
show in Chicago and the Ohio Valley
Exposition at Cincinnati. The rail-
roads of the state have pledged a
fund of nearly 100000 to be used in
the exploitation of Mississippi at the
latter event.
