acknowledgements are practi-
cally concluded which will insure one
comprehensive and typically Mississippi
exhibit at the Chicago land show, ac-
cording to Manager L. E. Davis of the
Land Development Association, who is
busy at work with a view to getting a
start. Mr.. Davis has had a satisfactory
conference with one of the men of Jack
son whose name is known wherever Mis-
sissippi and her great timber and lum-
Der industry is known, and that man is
Isaac C. Enochs, head of the Enochs
Manufacturing Company of Jackson and
Fernwood. The plan is to secure among
the practical exhibits that may be ar
ranged a complete display of native
woods, dressed and undressed, such as
used for structural purposes, box max
ing, cabinet work, furniture and for
every other purpose for which the prod
uct of the Mississippi forests can be
used, and this the Enochs Manufacturing
Company will be ready to prepare.
The promoters of the plan for a Mis-
sissippi corner at Chicago are working
away energetically to secure the coop
Grafton of other men who are leaders
of the states industrial enterprises, and
hope to arrange a demonstrative exhibit
that will be a credit to the state and
be followed by results which will be sat.

NEGRO KILLS TWO WHITE MEN
". H. BRIDGES, MARSHAL AT
WEBB, INSTANTLY KILLED.
After Declaring He Would Surrender,
Negro Killed the Marshal and Then
Shot Jackson to Death.

Sumner.-After declaring that he
would surrender, Zeely Butts, a negro,
suddenly brought his shotgun, carried
behind his back, to his shoulder, fired
and instantly killed w. H. Bridges, mar
shall of Webb, near that place. Bending
over the marshal's PROSTATE body, the
negro seized his pistol and fired upon
win jackson, a bystander, who had
come to Bridges rescue. Jackson fell
MORALLY wounded and expired a few
moments later. Brandishing his shotgun
and pistol, the negro disappeared,
threatening to kill any n who ap-
preached him and declaring he would
never be taken alive. A posse headed
by sergeants from the state farm at
Parchman here is securing the country
for the murderer. q
The tragedy, which has created intense
feeling in this vicinity, occurred on the
railroad tracks south Of Webb. Butts,
who has been a section hand here for a
number of years, had cruelty beaten a
negor woman several hours previous to
the tragedy. Marshal Bridges vas no.
titled and Immediately began a search
for the negro, coming upon him near
the place where the tragedy occurred.
Bridges called upon the negro to sur
render, but the latter, who was armed
with a shotgun, refused and retreated
down the railroad tracks. Bridges rea-
soned with him, and the negro consent.
ed to give up, and approached Bridges
with the gun behind him. When within
a few feet of the marshal the negro
raised his gun and fired the fatal shot.
The tragedy was witnessed by several
people, who were at such a distance as
TO make it impossible to prevent either
death.

REFUSES CHARTER.
Past Record Insurance Company's Pres
dent Cause.

Jackson.-State Insurance Commits
sioner Henry refused to approve the
charter of the South Continent Life In
surance Company, of Gulfport, for ST.
900 1000 capital, with Edwin Clark slated
for the presidency or connected with, it
in any capacity. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that Clark had a wife
and two children in Whitesboro, Tex.
She secured a divorce from him In July
and the record showed that five months
previous to the divorce Clark had been
married in Chicago.
He has been stopping at a prominent
hotel in Gulfport. Other members of
the company at Gulfport, who are solid,
substantial men of capital, state that
they will reorganize the company. Clark
has resigned the presidency on demand
of the stockholders and left the state.

HOLMES COUNTY TIcKLEss.
Federal Quarantine Has Been Lifted
From That County.

Jackson.-Holmes county has been
recommended from quarantine. The
Live Stock Sanitary Board and the rep
r~esentaative of the United States bureau
of animal industry have reported to the
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
Washington, D. G., that that part Of
Holmes county east of the main line of
the Y. & M. v. railroad to Black Creek,
and that portion of the county east of
the foothills, has been freed of cattle

markets of the world. Holmes county
has established a record in tick eradica-
ton work which should be emulated by
all the remaining counties in the quaran-
tine area of Mississippi.

hoped that every camp will respond and
that we will have a full meeting, with

which the monument to the women of

This must be lone now, as time and

appeals to us as Confederate veterans

should be given he best of attention,
as on him will depend the future of our
organization.

Jackson.-That Gov. Noel has not

ODD RAIN MAKING CUSTOMS
How the People Of Russla and Rou-
mania Try to Break the
Drought.

Besides the use of bad language a.
a popular means of procuring rain.
there are various other tricks to which
members Of the human race have re-
course in time Of drought. There 10
a village in Russia. for instance, where
three men used to climb certain fr
trees In seasons Of drought. n Of
the three having . vessel Of water
which he would sprinkle all around.
One Of the other two hammered on .
kettle or made some similar noise in
the hope Of thereby producing thun-
der, and the third scattered sparks
from hrebrands = a warning to the
lightning to make haste.
In Roumania, Servia and other coun-
tries the charm for rain is more pic
turesque. Here q troop of girls, the
leader of whom 10 naked save for .
covering Of leaves. herbs and flowers.
goes in procession from house to
house through the village. and as they
pass singing for rain the householders
drench them with buckets Of water.
The ceremony, says a writer in the
London Daily News. regularly takes
place all over Roumania on the third
Tuesday after Easter. but 1t may be
expected at any time Of drought dur
ing the summer.
There is yet another wetting Rou-
manian custom described. Sometimes
when rain Is needed the Roumanians
make q clay figure to represent
drought, cover It with a pail, and place
1t in an open coffin. Girls crouch
round the comm and lament, say
ing: Drought is dead! Lord, give ua
rain!" Then the cofin is carried by
children in funeral procession, with q
burning a candle before it. while
lamentations NIL the air. Finally,
they throw the CONN and the candle
into q stream or well.
In unspoilt parts of Russia the pop
ular methods Of influencing The wealth
er are less funereal. Sometimes. fol
instance, after service In church the
priest in his robes has been thrown
down on the ground and drenchet
with water by his parishioners. II

WARRANTS CAUSE TROUBLE.
Old Mississippi Treasury Warrants Ap.
pear in Oklahoma.

Jackson.-Those old Mississippi treas
ury warrants issued during the term Of
Gov. Stone, in 1895, are bobbing up in
different places, being passed by q lot
Of fair grafters and hangers-on who
doubtless obtained the worthless paper
while in attendance on the state fair
here. The United States forced the
state of Mississippi to withdraw the
warrants from circulation, as they looked
too much like real money, being just the
size of a five or a ten-dollar bill, printed
like one, following the general appear
ance of the federal money and national
bank notes, and would deceive almost
any one. When they were withdrawn
most of them were cancelled and de.
stroyed, but it seems a great many Of
them were not Cancelled, and were thrown
away in some rubbish in the treasurer's
office. When the seat of government was
moved to the new state house eight years
ago, the old worthless warrants were
left in the old treasury department.
Some Of the hangers-on and takers at
tending the Mississippi State Fair eff
fected an entrance and in rummaging
around came across the old notes.
Now they have put them in circula-
tion in Arkansas at various county fairs,
and being caught up with there, have
moved the scene of operations to Okla
homa, and complaints come from Mus
kogee, Ocmulgee and other points of the
bad money being passed.
Gov. Stone and Treasurer Evans were
put under a technical arrest for counter
feiting the money of the United States
when the issue of 100000 of state war
rants were first put out, and on the
agreement to withdraw the $4,000 or
more from circulation and destroy the
balance, the government did not proceed
further. How many of the worthless
warrants the hangers-on about the fair
got is not known, but a considerable
quantity, evidently.

Fruits From Mississippi.

Memphis, Tenn.-Among the exhibits
at the Tri-State Fair is one from Jack
son county, Miss, consisting Of grape
fruits, Satsuma oranges, several varieties
OF pecans and canned goods which are
being grown OF the coast of Missis-
sippi, a days travel from Memphis.
In this locality also trucking has be-
come an important industry. This ex-
hibit OF Jackson county is a credit to
South Mississippi and well worth seeing
by visitors to the far.
