TOO MUCH FOR HACK DRIVER
High-Sounding Name Made Old Man
Think There Was Something
Mysterious in the Wind.

After a long, hot, and dusty journey
by train the New York commercial
traveller arrived in Richmond, brushed
enough dust off his face to make sure
that the right man was getting off,
and hailed one of the little eagoing
hacks common in the Old Dominion
city, 1t was driven by an aged negro,
Drive me to a haberdashery," said
the travelling man, surveying his soiled
raiment with disfayor. "Yessuh," said
the negro. "Giddup." The old horse
started off at little stiif-legged jog
trot The driver seemed to be think
ing deeply. BY and by he pulled the
horse to a stop and leaned backward
to his fare, "Scuse me, sub, said he,
"but wey did you all want to go?"
Drive me to haberdashery," said
the travelling man. "Oh, yessuh," said
the negro. "To be sure. Giddup."
The hack ratified on for little way,
and then the negro stopped, got off
the box and poked his head in over
the little door "Mebbe All didn't get
dat name jus right" said he, would
you all mine repeatin' 1t, subj" The
travelling man said for the third time
that he wanted to go to a haberdash-
cry, The old driver shook his gray
wool and looked grieyed "Ahm an
ole man." said he, "Youah kin trus-
me, Wheah is 1t you really want to
go?"

There are seventy-seven counties In
the state of Mississippi Five coun.
ties are entirely or partially released
from quarantine, Twenty counties
are now engaged in determination
work. Twenty-Five counties are to be
started in the work during June, II
they want it. Forty-seyen counties
represent the total we are now trying
to help, Thirty counties represent
the number in which the tick is en-.
joying unhampered, its incessant ban
Quet from the nourishing hides Of
thousands of cattle whose owners by
their hospitality fatten the worthless
and costly tick and starve the useful
and profitable COW.
We believe what Is good thing
for the farmer Of northern and west
ern Mississippi is equally good for
the Mississippians who live in the
southern and eastern sections Of the
state. We believe if Adams and JEFF
ferson counties can eradicate the cat
tie tick in one year every other county
can and should. We believe If in
three months Holmes county people
can construct lao dipping yats and
dip $4,000 cattle every two weeks, 1t
won't take Uncle Sam long to reward
them by releasing the area from quar-
antine
We believe Mississippians need the
millions the tick is costing for some
other purpose and they are going to
stop the leak right now. We believe
1t is no longer necessary TO show any
person that the tick can be eradi'
Gated $4,000 square miles have been
freed of them and released from quar-
antine.
We believe the dipping vat and ar
senical solution the best method Of
oradlcating the tick, The dipping vat
has come to stay; 1t is almost ndis-
pensable on farm as it may be used
for dislnfecting all live stock with
little cost and the saving Of much
time The better the vat is construct
ed, the more serviceable It will be for
future use. Don't do a cheap job.
Experience has demonstrated that
individuals cooperate better when the
county officials enter into a co.opera-
tive campaign with the state and fed
eraI officials in fighting the tick evil,
Everybody has a tick, and as a CON
sequence tick eradication is bound to
be popular movement
All the railroads in Mississippi have
expressed their willingness to aid in
eradicattng the tick Let us all try
to arouse public interest in the work.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF HELL?

A Chicago minister asks the question,
''What has become of Hell?" We do
not think this is a subject either to
make light of or joke about, and while
the question was not addressed to us
personally it nevertheless was propoun-
ded we assume in good faith, and we
shall therefore, attempt to answer it,
and seriously too, in a very few words.
In the first place, if this Chicago min
lister at one time d hell and has lost
it. he is to be COZ ltulated, because it
simply proves thi e has thought him
self-by an imprc ment in his think
factory-and worked himself-by an
improvement in his act manufacturing
establishment away from it and out of
it. We at one time had quite little
touch of hell ourselves. We thought
ourselves into it and very naturally OF
course. we acted up to our thinking, and
the first thing we knew we were hav-
ing right miserable time with our
selves and making also a more or less
miserable condition Of things for all
those with whom we came in close per
sonal contact. Hell, like Heaven, is
something we very largely make for
ourselves. 1t s one of the easiest to
lose. Our suggestion to the Chicago
minister is. if you have lost, thank the
good Lord. for the baptism of common
sense which enabled you to do it and
could spend your time in many ways to
much better advantage than by adver-
tising and trying again to locate it.

TWO KILLED; ONE INJURED
Pleasantville's Toll On Opening Day OF Cunning
Season Casts Gloom Over Entire County.-The
Details Of A FriGhtful Tragedy.

The whole of Atlantic County has
mourned for week over the frightful
tragedy which occurred Wednesday
morning, when two of Pleasantville's
most prominent and popular young bus
mess men We're killed. Constant E.
Steelman and Thomas J. G. Youse were
among the hundreds who went deer
hunting the first day of the season, and
it was $50 o'clock, just as day was
breaking, when they were shot to death
by charge of buckshot sent at them
by Charles Norcross, of Iona, who mis-
took them for deer, and Moses Jarvis,
another memDer of the party, was seri-
ously injured, while Elias Campbell,
who completed the quartette, barely es-
capped injury. The men We're stalking
deer along the jackson road four miles
above Mays Landing, while Norcross,
his brother Elmer, and their father-in-
law, James L. Leonard, were cunning
side Of the road.
While the two dead men were being
brought back to their sorrowing fami-
lies in Pleasantville, Charles Norcross,
who fired the fatal charge, tramped l3
miles in the direction of his home at
Iona, and was arrested by Sheriff john
son and a posse at noon and arraigned
on formal charge of murder before
Magistrate Sims ait Minatola few hours
later
Norcross, who claimed the shooting
was accidental, was locked up without
bail, pending coroner's investigation.
On being arrested by Sheriff johnson,
Pleasantville weekly press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1890-1911, 1911-11-08

NOrcross made a statement, in which he
stoutly declared that the killing of the
two men and the wounding of the third
was entirely accidental, and that he had
mistaken the men as they passed along
the road just at daybreak for a deer
that was hurrying out of the onslaught
of the gunners.
Campbell, Steelman, Youse and Jarvis
were walking along the road, preparing
to take up deer stand when loud
shot rang out from the roadside. A hail
of heavy buck shot rang through the air
Four big bullets lodged in Steelman's s
body, and half dozen leaden pellets
sank into Youse, while another buck
shot went through the fieshy part of
Jarvis thigh. All three men fell in the
roadway. Steelman instantly died,
while Youse fingered awhile, and Jarvis
was unconscious from pain. A moment
later Leonard and his two sons-in-law
emerged from the woods to learn of the
fatal mistake.
Horrible Discovery
Behind the party, which was within
the range of the fatal buckshot were
Elwood S. Weeks, Allen Shaw, and Ed
win Woolbert, making seven of the nine
who had started from Pleasantville in
Woolbert's automobile before dawn for
the deer hunting grounus. These mem
bers Of the party had been following the
men who We're shot, and were about 100
yards in their rear when the shooting
took place. They hurried up to the
scene of the shooting and found the
