And Now the Defendant Is Working on
the County Road.
Meridian.-Considerable talk and in
dignation has been aroused in the city
and county as a result of a case in the
circuit court of a white man, F. L.
Deason, who was charged with having
three illegal wives. The man also has
a wife to whom he was legally married.
The three women with whom Deason
illegally lived are sisters, and from the
union, covering, it is said, a period Of
eighteen years, sixteen children were
born. The father of these sixteen chill.
dren is also the father of five children
by his legal wife, which makes a total
of twenty-one children. The mar and
his consorts have resided in the Collins
vile neighborhood all these years, and
have never been molested until the pres
emit term of court. The three sisters
are illiterate and of the poorest class.
They were given short Jail sentences,
and Deason was given a heavy money
fine and sentenced to serve a term on
the county road.

One Of Largest Farmers Institutes Yet

Jackson.-Beginning on the oath inst.
at the State Agricultural and Mechan-
Lcal college at Starkville, a great
"round up Farmers institute will be
held for about ten days. A most elab-
crate program has been provided, and
rome OF the leading experts in the coun-
try on agricultural subjects will be on
hand to address and work with their
farmer pupils.
A brand new feature also is the
fact that the county superintendents

calling attention to the institute, and

college dormitories. Meals will also be
served in the dining hall. As the aver,

TWO RUMORs T L
Hebron and Hardy Put Quietus on
Statements.

Hebron and Hardy Put Quietus Oh
Statements.
Jackson.-Since the election there
have been very persistent rumors afloat
as to various sums of money won by
various people, and among the number
State Senator John Hebron has been
credited with having won all the way
from ten to forty thousand dollars on
the election OF Vardaman. These rumors
have been extremely distasteful to SEN
ator Hebron, and he has finally put a
quietus upon them by the following card
which settles the report:
ITO the Public:
"The report is being industriously
circulated that 1 won several thousand
dollars on the late primary election in
Mississippi.
"This report has no foundation in
fact. I did not bet a dollar on the
election, or did l win a cent.
(Signed) ~. L, HEBRON"
On the heels of that another report
which has had general circulation is
given the death thrust by Judge W. H.
Hardy, ex-circuit judge for the coast
district, and one of the code commits
sioners compiling the last code OF
Mississippi. His statement is also
brief and to the point;
81 am not an applicant for second
assistant attorney general under Mr..
Ross A. Collins. 1 do not want the
place, and would, under no drcum
stances, accept it, if rendered to me.

NEIGHB0RLY WITH NElGHBOR
Found to Be Of Good Advantage to
Keep on Good Terms With
Those Living Close BY.
(By ], BAILEY BRUCEl

No good neighbor will allow his
fence corners to grow rank with
weeds that will not only injure his
W crops but those Of his neighbor
as well.
1t Is not a good plan to sheer at a
neighbor who is always ready to try
something new in farming. Better
watch him and say nothing you will
be sorry for later when he has proved
its success.
l have found 1t to be Of good ad-
vantage to keep on good terms with
my ~neighbor if for no other reason
than the selfish one Of being able to
call on him to help out in times of too
much work and short help.
The farmer who expects help from
his n~eighbor always must be willing
to lend a hand and a horse when
called upon, even II 1t is not always
quite convenient.
What has become Of the farmer
whose old-fashioned ideas of hospital
ity which always prompted him to
send around to the neighbors a taste
Of the first choice fruit OF a basket
of spare ribs or a bit Of a roast at
killing time?
Better continue to lend our tools
to the improvident one than quarrel
with him. His friendship may some
time prove of more value than the
temporary loss Of a pillow. or a hoe.
Do not poke fun at the too enter
prising mar who leaves the old home
to find fortune in a new country-ht
may come back to be our neighbol
again.

A Stable Screen Door.

If the r door for the cow stable
is made Of strong material 1t can be
secured by a wide board to drop inta
brackets on each side. This protects
the door and Is easily made at home.
One end of the board should be bolted
loosely to the barn, so that 1t may act
as a pivot and the boards be raised

SENDS OUT THE QUESTIONS,

field of the Industrial Institute and Col
lege at Columbus is mailing out ques-
tions for the examination of applicants
for admission to the states great school
for the girls Of Mississippi at Colum-
bus. The county superintendent are
promptly giving notice of the examina-
tions, and will be prepared to issue GER
tificates of admission. The privilege of
attending this school is eagerly sought
for and each year there are hundreds of
girls in Mississippi who are turned away
from its doors. 1t is thought that when
che State Normal college at Hattiesburg
iS completed it will in a measure relieve
the Industrial school and college of those
who are preparing for the work of teach
ing, at least, and this constitutes at a
conservative estimate, t~hirty-five pei
cent of the attendance at the Industrial.
institute and college.

a fast Lake Shore freight train, James
A. Scott of Allegheny, Pa, ignored
danger. leaped to board the train and
in another minute his lifeless body had
been cut in two beneath the wheels
The accident occurred late yesterday
afternoon in the Kirk yard district of
Gary. 1t was the intention of Scott
and his friend to beat their way to
Cleveland. Accordingly, the two men,
who had been lately employed in the
city. went east of the union depot to
board the freight without being OBJ
served.
Soon a fast freight came and, al
though Scott was warned that an at
tempt to board it was hazardous, he
thought different. He lost his grip, ut
tered a scream and fell TO his death.
The remains were taken in charge by
Undertaken Patrick c. Finerty and
were removed to his morgue on West
Seventh avenue. Letters found in the
dead mans pockets indicate that he
had a sweetheart in his home town
His age is estimated to be about 8;
years Pending instructions from
Pittsburg the remains will be held By

PROGRESS HALTED
IN THIS REGION
Warfare Between Legislative and
Executive Departments of City
Government is the Cause

As a result of the warfare between
the legislative and executive depart
ments of the city governments OF
Hammond, East Chicago and Gary
the franchise questions collectively,
will not be settled for FIVE years.
This is the conclusion that has
been reached by a representative OF
one of the largest systems now In
operation in the Calumet region The
plain, cold facts of the case are that
while the mayors and councilmen of
the three principal cities of the
region are at loggerheads nothing
will be done and the development OF
the entire region will be retarded to
Just that extent.
1t is a serious situation. 1t is in
