Experiments by Board of Health Show
Many of Inmates Are Infected.

Jackson.-"Every public institution
where children congrcgate should be sub
jcetcd to thorough examination with
out delay and all effort made by this
method to prevent the spread of the
hookworm disease
This was the suggestion made by DIR.
Woods, who is in active control of the
hookworm investigation at the labora-
tories of the state board of health in
this city.
"For instance continues the bactcri-
ologist, 81 have been examining evidence
sent me from one of the orplanages in
Jackson and have made scores Of cX-
found prevalence of hookworin among
the inmates that, were ! to state the ex-
act percentage, would astonish the en-
tire state of Mississippi. 1t almost
reaches the 100 per cent mark, and as the
institution is run along lines as sanitary
acter, il is safe to assume that hook
worm would be found elsewhere in the
same proportion
The board of health has made rapid
strides in its investigation during the
past few months, and reports from all
portions of the state evidence rapidly
increasing interest in the problem, ac-
cording to the local analysis. Treatment
has been given hundreds of patients at
the free dispensary, and in other cities
the suggestions of the board of health
are being followed. The thymol treat
ment, which expels the hookworm from
the body after only one treatment, is
remarkably cheap, and the board Of
health believes that its campaign of cd
ucation along sanitary lines will event
ually result in the expulsion Of the dis
ease from Mississippi.
Reports were received during the past
week of country school with an attend
ance Of seventeen pupils being investi-
gated by the health authorities. All of
the pupils, most of whom were under Is
years Of age, were found to have ad-
vanced stages of the disease, while the
teacher was also infected.

Lowndes County Farmers Prepare for the
Coming of the Pest.

Columbus.-The Lowndes county anti
Doll weevil convention met here Wednes-
day and was attended by throng of
iaime and business men, who heard
addresses upon how to meet the attack
When the pest reaches this section. Last
iall the weevil was as far west as Mont
gomery county and as far south of this
section as Newton county. As the pest
mlgrates only from the first of August
until the first frost, and then makes its
appearance in new territory when the
cotton commences blooming, it is prob
lematical as to whether this section
will be invaded this coming summer. In
the event the weevil does get as far east
as Lowndes county this summer, this
convention was called to discuss such
questions as would be necessary to ham
die the situation in Tie event it does.
Addresses We're made by r. S. Wilson,
state agent for the farmers cooperative
demonstration branch of the United
States agricultural department, with
headquarters in Columbus; Mr.. Howard,
agent in the south part of the state;
j. G. Weatherly, secretary of the Coluln-
bus Business League; w. i. Henderson,
land and industrial agent of the Mobile
and Ohio and Southern railway in Mis-
sissippi, of Mobile, Ala; Warren c. Nc

son Gustavo. He said that by ar
rangement which had been concluded
between himself and Jose Yves Liman-
tour in New York definite measures
of peace between the insurrectos and
the Diaz government in Mexico were
in process of being formulated.
1t would be peace concluded with
out the laying down Of arms by the
insurrectos, said the elder Madero It
would be peace which might allow
Porfirio Diaz still to sit in the presi-
Dental chair, but the nature of his
powers would be far different from
that which has obtaired in the past.

Possibilities Of Mississippi in This Line

Jackson.-Cattle raising in Mississippi
Is attracting great deal of attention
from other states, and indications art
there will be considerable more develop
ment in this branch of agriculture il
the next few months than has marked
the progress Of this industry in scvcra
years.
Several letters have been received in
this city recently from St. Louis, Chi
cago and other places asking for infor
nation Oh cattle and hog raising in Mis-
sissippi, the cost of land, rate of taxa
tian and other information on this sub
ject. These letters are from men who
desire to locate in the South and engage
in cattli raising, because they regard il
as good money maker.
Inquiries are also made about the cat
tie tick, which is rapidly being cradi
Gated from the state, railroad rates, wa
ter and pasturage. The letters indicate
that the writer's are interested in Mis-
sissippi as a cattle raising state, and the
fact that the cattle tick is being eradi
Gated and the entire state will, in an
other year or two, be entirely above the
federal quarantine line, will add much to
the value of Mississippi-raised cattle
This work is progressing well, and in adj

other counties that want it.

into trap, are casting about for =
way out Of the trouble.
Former States Attorney Healy Of

know what he could do to rebut tho
Testimony given by the lumberman.
On the other hand, 1t was pointed out
that the testimony could not be per.
mitted to stand unchallenged.
In his testimony Mr.. Hines said that
President Taft was the moving spirit
behind the election of Mr.. Lorimer,
speaking to him through Senator Aid.

AS the committee now stands with
this testimony in the record it can not
force rebuttal President Taft, Sen.

can rebnt this testimony. The COM

them unless they should be found in

BUCKET SHOP LAW VOID
Deprives Citizens of the Riuht
tC Contract.

The long campaign fought by the
department of justice in Washington to
end bucket shopping" in the large
cities of the United States may end in
failure as the result of a decision rem
dered by Justice Wright of the Dis
trict supreme court
Bucket shopping" is a lawful occu-
patton, according to Justice Wright,
who holds that the amendment to the
code defining the practice is uncon-
stitutional because it deprives citizens
OF the liberty to contract guaranteed
them by the constitution.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Edward Altemus of Jersey
City and Louis A. and Angelo Celia
OF st. Louis, who operated a so-called
bucket shop under the title of the
Standard Stock and Grain company.
With twenty-six others they were in
dicted, and while six of those pleaded
guilty and were fined in sums aggre-
eating $500, the remainder decided
to fight the matter.
The government annour ces it's in
tention to appeal from the decision of
Justice Wright.

Jackson.-The annual convention OF
the Mississippi Land Development Asso-
citation will be held this year in South

This is the decision reached at a meet
ing of Tic executive committee.
Believing that the promotion of the
growth and progress of South Missis-
sippi, especially i'll settling the cutover
pine lands, is one of the states most i'm
portant problems, the committee deemed
it advisable to have the annual conven-
tion in that section of the state. The
gathering will be held OH June 21 and
%, and the committee is now open to
proposals from the business organiza-
tions of Gulfport and Hatticsburg.
The finances of the association are in
first-class shape, some good publicity
work is being accomplished through the
managers office, and a program will be
prepared for the annual meeting that
will be of exceptional interest.
