FIELDS SENT TO PRISON
Elk. Postmaster at Grenada Sentenced,
Action oil Court a Surprise.

Ex-Postmaster G.. w. Fields, of Gre
NADIA, was sentenced to a term of two
years in the federal prison at Atlanta
by the federal court at Oxford last
week on a charge of appropriatlng
money belonging to the government to
his WI use.
The action of the court was quite a
surprise to Mr.. Fields as we'll as his
many friends here.
The shortage had been made good
and Mr.. Fields had been given to I'M
derstand by a prominent court official
that the ends of justice had been met
and that all he might expect was a
nominal fine. Upon this understan ling
of the situation he submitted his case
and his surprize can scarcely be mag
ired when the sentence Of the court
was pronounced.
His friends in Grenada at once lie
gan circulating a petition, which has
been signed by almost every man IN the
community, asking the court that he be
not sent to prison until a petition could
be presented to President Taft asking
his pardon. What the result will be, is
yet undetermined.
Mr.. Fields was exceedingly popular
in Grenada and his friends deeply SYM
pathise with him in his deplorable stu
alton. He went out of Office last Dec
ember and is said to have been short
in his accounts approximately $3.50,
which was promptly paid by his bonds
men. rome of whom prosecuted him.

Prices of Shrimp Vary.

The prices paid for shrimp vary,
according to the stage of the season,
the supply of shrimp, and so on, the
fishermen, pickers and Gamers get
ting good earnings. Some of the fish
ermen shore as much as $40 to $50 q
week, while others make 500 to $25
in the same length of time.
The shrimp season has caused a
noticeable stir in the business of the
city within the last few days. 1t is
estimated that, at the present rate,
over $500 a week is paid out to fish
ermen, pickers, Gamers and others
engaged in the business. Each
shrimp season sends wave of pros
perity to Biloxi.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-25
Shrimp are being brought in by
good schooner loads, and the crusta-
ceans are large and fine. The fact
is that the shrimp season is in full
swing.
eiIoxi's Foremost Industry.

One Of Biloxi's foremost industries
is the shrimp business, and with the
coming of the season the industry
grows to larger proportions, the seas
on for shrimp coming twice a year,
in spring and fall, each lasting from
four to eight weeks. The shrimp are
caught at Point Aux Chenes and 9th
er places along the gulf coast, and
sometimes as many as thirty or for
ty barrels are secured in one set of
nets.
There are about 600 men engaged
in the business of catching shrimp
for the canneries in this city, and
about 1875 schooners are used in the
business. Hundreds of persons are
engaged in the picking and canning
of shrimp at the factories in this city,
and the pickers are principally wo-
men and children. Altogether, the
shrimp business gives employment to
thousands of persons at least four or
five weeks a season.

PLANTING BEANS
FOR FERTILIZER
Velvet Beans Are Proven to be Equal
To Cotton Seed Meal For Fer
tiIizer on the Coast.

Gulfport, Miss, Aug. 25.-Velvet
bean seed sufficient for planting $50
acres were, sold by one distributor
here to farmers in this county this
summer. 1t is calculated that these
seed will give the lands of the farm
ers planting them a fertilizing value
of the equivalent of $50 tons of cot
ton seed meal. One farmer at Sey-
mour, small neighborhood near
here, planted ten acres Of these beans
in checks three feet apart in the
spring, and on land that was utterly
sterile, but they came up promptly,
and today the vines are six feet high
and cattle seem afraid to venture in
them. Nitrogen is gathered by these
masses of vines and stored in bulbs
which form on their roots, and which
is liberated in the spring. The land
thus becomes so rejuvenated that a
bale and half of cotton can be made
on an acre. The farmers who have
watcher these successful experiments
with the velvet bean will plant the
lands next year that were abandoned
long since because of their poverty.

OPPOSED TO Levy FOR
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL

Poplarville, Miss, Aug. 25.-The
county school board of trustees of the
county agricultural . high school met
in joint session Tuesday for the pur-
pose of discussing the proposed build
ing of a new school building and the
auditorium annex for the agricultural
high school.
The board of supervisors had been
invited to attend the meeting in or
der that an expression could be had
from them as to whether or not they
favored the levy of the two mills
which is necessary to erect the build
ing, and there were only three mem
bers of the supervisors present, but
from them it was learned in unmis-
taxable terms that they were unaltera-
bly, opposed to making such a large
levy, and it will be impossible to put
up the building without it. The law,
however, compels them to make a
levy, and it can be saved and build
ing erected next year.
The agricultural high school will
open September 6, and from all indi-
cations a record-breaking attendance
will be enrolled and the present build
ing taxed to it's full capacity.

COULDN'T GET WILSON
TO The COURT ROOM

Chicago, Aug. 25.-State's Attorney
Wayman called the case of State Rep
resentative Robert E. Wilson, charged
with having been the distributor of
the alleged Jack pot" at st. Louis in
Judge Honore's court yesterday. If
this was a ruse to get Wilson into
court so that he could be brought in
to the Lee O'Neil Brown case as a
witness, it is asserted by the defense
it failed. Judge Honore postponed
the Wilson case until after the dispos-
al of the Brown case and refused to
declare Wilson's bond forfeited to the
state.
Cross-examination of Representative
White, who alleged that Brown bribed
him to vote for William Lorimer for
senator. was resumed before Judge
Kersten. Attorney Forest, of the de-
fense, clashed with the court in try
ing to get yes or no" answer from
the witness to the question as to
whether he expected to be indicted
on his confession that he had accept
ed bribe.s 5G
Il don't know" was Whites repeat
ed answer, in which the court sus-
tanned him.
