WOODEN ROOFS ARE

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2.-Jaekson s
new municipal statute forbidding the
use of wooden shingles went into Of

hereafter erected must be covered
with metal roofs or some freproof
material.
While the measure is regarded nv
property-owners as somewhat drastic

Hamper Park to be Fenced
and Greatly Beautifed

laid, since the city will extend the
water system to the Normal, whereas,
if the committee had tried to put in
artesian wells, as urged, they would
have been out considerable.
With the proceeds of the IA mill
levy from the city, the Park was first
cleaned out-the money the Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy had put in it
for this work hardly showing, and
bridges were built. With levy of
one mill the pavilion was built, a sub
stantial affair, so constructed that 1t
can be added to at any time.
Now the money is on hand to pay
for the work spoken of above and
the U. D. c. and committee hope that
the city will levy one mill tax this
fall, so that more work can be done
When a gardener can be kept on the
grounds, it will take a monthly salary
but will pay in the end, for as soon as
the water can be put in the Park,
trees will be set out and by the first of
January the committee hopes to have
a landscape gardener, so that by
Spring the Park may be provided with
flowers, walks and seats for the public
to enjoy. The Commissioners will
appoint committee soon to ask the
Traction Company to erect sheds at
the far entrance of the park for the
convenience of their patrons.
Now that the Commissioners see
their way to getting the Park fenced
and water put in, with the pavilion
and bridges built, they feel encourag-
ed and not as if their planning and ef-
forts have been in vain.
Mrs. ]. r. Child and Mrs. Hugh Nc
lnnis, two members of the Park Com
mission are at work on the Forestry
committee and the public will have an
opportunity to Judge their work next
Spring.
Altogether the work is going on
well and the whole city echoes the
hope Of the commissioners that the
one mill tax may be levied so the
work may continue without interrup
/, ton.

tract for material for fencing the
whole forty acres of the Park and this
gate will go to the Hatiesburg Hard
ware Co., or the Hawkins Hardware

to go ahead and give the contract for
having this work done-within 60
days also. This gate, which will be

The main entrance, of which a pic

PRESIDENT GETS 4
 CORDIAL WELCOME
Headquarters of Populistic Insurgency Extends Warm Greeting to the
 Chief Executive.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 26.-President Taft received as cordial a welcome in . to Wisconsin today as he has found in any of the score of states traversed during the last six weeks. At Oshkosh he drifted into discussion on his tar if vetees but did so with the eXplana- tion that he thought the people at large had right to hear from the president his reasons for an important executive action. Not the least interesting feat ure of the day was the presidents visit to Fond Du Lac. That city had once withdrawn its invitation to the presi dent when it was announced that his time there would have been somewhat curtailed. Mayor Wolff sent a tele- gram cancelling the invitation and sug- gested rather sharply that the presi- dent might as well give all his time to Appleton and Oshkosh. Then the in- vitation was renewed and again ac- cepted.

PINK BEANS TESTED
 PROVE A SUCCESS
C. M. Smith has Five Acre Patch that Promises an Enormous
 Yuma.

It is a matter of common knowledge that almost any farm crop that will grow in any temperate or sub tropical region can be grown successfully in this valley, with proper attention. and it is equally as we'll known that a great many things are not grown merely because no one has tried to raise them. Others have been dis corded after simple experiments con- ducted along the lines employed in raising the same crop elsewhere, while still others, after persistent experiment that developed the methods necessary in this valley have proved the crops in question to be among those most desirable for cultivation here. A case in point is the strawberry The writ CT recalls a time when those who spoke of planting strawberries were laughed at and the efforts Of those who tried it at a still earlier period and failed were pointed to as settling the question. And now everybody knows that more than one man has made a competence in this valley with just a few acres planted to straw berries
 These observations are made as pre- fatory to a mention of the experience of c. M. Smith this year, in raising pink beans, or frijoles. This is a notable crop in California, grown most extensively in valleys dependent large Iy on fogs for moisture, with only slight rains or a small amount of ir- rigation.
 So far as has been learned no one,
