Highway Robbery at Deer Isle

Highway Robbery at Deer lsle.
DEER Isle, May (specia)-This quiet
town was startled Sunday by the report of
a brutal assault and robbery on Capt.
George Eaton.
Capt. Eaton has lived alone for some
years. Saturday evening he was return
ing from the village about 10 o'clock. As
he crossed the street to enter his own
home, person in woman's clothing, who
afterwards proved to be man in disguise,
stepped from behind q shade tree, and di-
rected Capt. Eaton's attention to some
person whom she claimed to see across the
street. The captain turned to look in tie
direction indicated, when lie was struck
on the head with q rock and knocked
down.
The captain struggled with his assail-
ant, and made an outcry, but no one
happened to be passing. After several
minutes struggle, the captain, who is
quite old and infirm, was overpoweyed,
and his assailant, who undou btedly knew
his man, took from an inside pocket $22O,
and escaped, leaving behind a crocus bag
and revolver with all chambers filed with
cartridges.
Although it was bright moonlight and
many people were passing on the streets,
there is no clue to the highwayman.
No stone will be left unturned to find the
criminal. This is the climax of series OF
breaks in the town, and robberies of build
ings are OF common occurrence.

RECENT DENTAL
EXAMINATIONS
A Higher Standard Is Being Required
OF Dentists And Licenses Not
So Easy To Secure.

Jackson Miss. May 23.-The recent
dental examinations in this city re-
suited in the compilation of figures for
the four sessions of the present State
Board of Dental Examiners that are of
peculiar interest, as they demonstrate
the present futility of mere students
successfully "bluffing" their way
through the annual queries.
In 1908, the first session of the pres
ent board, 49 applicants submitted for
examination, out of which number
only % secured licenses. In 1909, 3S
applicants presented themselves be-
fore the board, and only 20 were sue
cessful in securing permits. OF this
number, five had taken the examina-
tion during the previous year and
failed. The following year, % stood
the examination and 13 passed, and
again five students who had failed the
year before had, by persistent appli-
cation to their studies during the year,
reached the desired grades.
At the recent examinations a mum
Der of applicants were present who
had taken the examinations for two OF
three years and only one of this mum
ber, it is believed, failed to make
good" The others had continued theii
studies until they were able to reach
the standard demanded by the Mis-
sissippi examiners. Twenty-Five appli
cants proved successful this year, ou
of registration of 33.

Land COMPANIES
GET CHARTERS
Products, Operating Principally
In The Delta.

Jackson, Miss, May 23.-Two big
corporations for the handling of cot
ton lands and their products, to oper-
ate mainly throughout the Delta
region, were granted charters by Gov
ernor Noel this morning, after inves-
tigation by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Mcdowell.
One of these is capitalized at $1,000
900 and is the outgrowth of the deal
by which the Scott plantation, owned
by Hon. Charles Scott, of Rosedale,
was recently purchased by a syndi-
cate of Memphians. The new corpora
pi Delta Planting Company, will lease
from the syndicate and continue the
operation of the plantations, acting as
operatives for the syndicate. The in
corporators are R. X. Salisbury, Rice
T. Fan and George H. Tucker, promi-
nent residents of Memphis, whose
names appeared prominently in con-
nection with the purchase of the Scott
and other delta properties. Headquar.
ters of the company to be at Scott,
Bolivar county.
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Cotton company, with headquarters at
Greenwood, has been organized, with
capitalization of 100000. This
company will have for its aim the buy
ing, selling and storing of cotton fol
the merchants of the delta, and will

neries throughout that part of the

PERMENTER MAY
SOON QUIT JAIL
Bail Was Granted Him Yesterday on
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.-Bond
Placed at $4,000.

Jackson, Miss, May 23.-Swinton
Permenter, the young white man who
has been confined in the county Jail
in this city the past several months,
on a charge of having murdered Miss
jamie Sharp of Winston county, will
soon be at liberty on bond.
Yesterday habeas corpus proceed
ings were brought before Chancellor
Lyell, and w. H. Watkins, who took a
leading part in presenting his case to
the Supreme Court and securing a re-
versal Of a death penalty sentence,
made a brief argument before the
Chancellor. He read the decision Of
the Supreme Court, laying stress upon
that portion of it in which that court
expressed grave doubt as to the young
mans guilt, and the Chancellor an
nounced that he would grant the ap-
plication, and placed the amount of
the bond at $4,000.
Several of Permenter's relatives
were here and they immediatly an
nouncd that the bond would be made.
They are people of only moderate
means, and the bond will be signed
by a large number of them. To do
this it was necessary to send it to
Winston county. where the crime for
which he is held was committed, and
where those who will sign the bond
reside. that it may be approved by the
proper officer of that county.
As soon as this is done the bond
will be sent back here for Permenter's
signature and he will be released from
Jail. It is hardly probable though that
he will return to Winston county until
the date set for his second hearing
at which time motion for a change
of venue will be entered and there is
hardly any doubt but that 1t will be
granted, and the case sent to anoth
er county for trial

declared.

NEW YORKER WILL ESTABLISH
A DAIRY FARM NEAR THIS
CITY
IMMENSE ENTERPRISE PLANNED
Hopes to Induce Other Northern Dairy
men to Locate Here-Toured South
to Find Best Location. Terms Are
Private.

Purchasing from local parties a
tract of about 1000 acres situated
from four to five miles west Of this
city, D. M. Collier, formerly from New
York state, is making preliminary ar
rangements for establishing dairy to
be conducted on large scale.
The deal was closed yesterday, the
deeds being delivered to Mr.. Collier
in the afternoon and the transaction
concluded with a progressive local
real estate man, Thomas M. Ferguson,
who is enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties of the industry
The tracts, closely grouped to the
west of Hattiesburg, comprised lands
held by the Newman Lumber COM
pany, DR.. John M. McInnis, Brooklyn,
Miss, and Hawkins & Company in
that section.
Mr.. Collier who had extensive dairy
interests in New York state sold out
several years ago and started on a
tour of the south to try to find loca-
ton which would meet in every par
ticular the ideas he had in mind for
the purpose of establishing an i'm
mense dairy business. He toured
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mexico, Texas and Mississippi
p and after 1S months found that South
Mississippi was the place he was look
ing for
For the past year, Mr.. Collier has
been living here most of the time and
making plans, which resulted yester-
day in the closing of the deal
The lands Mr.. Collier now controls
are covered with live brooks and
springs and is considered as
good as the best in South Mississippi.
The purchase price is not made public
but 1t is understood that 1t was a fair
one.
This is the beginning of what it is
confidently expected will be network
of dairies in this section, for Mr.. Col.
lier is even now corresponding with
northern dairymen and friends, in the
hope of interesting them in locating
here. In that event, Mr. Collier would
expect to receive better freight rates
for his product, which he will ship to
market.
Mr.. Collier is now on the ground and
preliminary arrangements looking to
the early establishment of the busi-
ness are progressing nicely.
This is another great industry which
with the development of years will
make Mississippi prosperous, inde-
pendent of the boil meevil, showing
to dubious northerners that cotton is
not the only product which Mississippi
sends to the markets of the world

THOUSAND ACRES SOLD
TO GOTHAM DAIRYMAN
STATE SCHOOLS
TO Be VISITED
General Board of Trustees Of Four
Schools To Spend Week On
Tour of Visitation.

Jackson, Miss, May 23.-The gen.
eral board of trustees of Mississippi's
four educational institutions will start
during the latter part of the week on
a tour of visitation to the institutions
at oxford, Starkville, Columbus and
Rodney.
Unfortunately for the trustees, COM
mencement exercises will be inau-
gurated at each of the colleges on the
same date, and it will be impossible
for them to witness the presentation
of diplomas to all graduates.
Business sessions of the board will
be held at each institution, however,
and plans considered for the work OF
the next collegiate year.
1t is generally understood that some
changes in management are slated to
take place, but whether the changes
will involve the heads of the institu
tions remains to be seen.
Chancellor A. A. Kincannon, of the
University, who was recently rendered
the Chancellorship of the University
OF Oklahoma, will make known his de
cision to the board next week. II
event of his retirement, there will b.
a half dozen or more aspirants for thu
vacancy.
Rumor connects the name of DR.. R
B. Fulton with the Chancellorship II
event Prof Kincannon decides to re
tire. While the election of DR.. Fultol
would be in the nature of a splendi
vindication, he having been forced t
retire from the University for pc
litical reasons several years age
it is not believede he would accept tn
place if offered, as he has NOR
lucrative position at the head of a
industrial school in Virginia.
