GRIP OF LADIES'
CLOTHING FOUND

Sargent w. E. Estes has a suit case
of clothes at the police station that
evidently belong to some elderly lady,
and he is willing to release them to
the owner. The grip and clothes
were brought to the police station by
H. Pellman, who found them on Sec
ond avenue and Pine street. Among
the articles in the grip are night caps
and other articles of feminine wear
that Mr.. Estes can't wear, and the
other officials at the city hall are not
disposed to deprive the rightful ow-
ner of them.

burg is fine cotton market and the
gradual increase of the cotton re-
ceipts. g
Besides all this, Hattiesburg is the
natural metropolis of South Mississip-
phone of the fairest and most fertile
sections of the country; smiling re-
gion in which the South's greatest
crops, kissed by the friendly rays of
an ardent Southern sun, grow to per.
fection.
1t is expected that before the next
cotton season another large modern
warehouse will be built here, and the
receipts of cotton for 1911 will nc
doubt be far in excess of all previous
! records.
The business men of Hattiesburg
agree fully with that prominent states
man who said: You can burn your
cities, and your farms will build then
up like magic" and they want to see
the vast areas now lying idle in this
section divided up into small farms
with a family tilling each farm
When this is done Hattiesburg will
rapidly grow to be a great city.

Hair Takes Place of Skin in
Skin-Grafting.

Chopped hair has been successful
ly substituted for skin in skin-graft-
ing by the French surgeon, p. Car
not, who has applied his method in
many cases. II is based on the fact
that the cells of the hair and its
roots are epidermic outgrowths and
can be easily transformed into skin
cells. The use of hair not only does
away with the necessity of taking
skin from other persons, which is a
painful operation, but it is said to
be an improvement as well, as it is
strong and hardy, and, being Injured
to minimum of nutrition, is able
to thrive under unfavorable condi-
tions, such as prevail where graft
ing is necessary.
Inc manner OF performing the
operation is simple, a few hairs be-
ing pulled from the head of the pa
tient or of a relative, and with the
bulbous root removed, the freshest
or newest parts are cut into small
pieces, so as to form coarse powder.
This powder is then strewn over the
surface Of the wound and proper
bandage applied. Within a week
white spots appear on the surface,
rapidly increasing in size. The spots
extend and thicken, and finally form
a perfect new skin. Popular Me-
chanics.

Prof. Geo. Bell and B. F. butcher

lettuce. radishes and peas and the
garden was not planted until after
July was well under way. Prof.
Bell has a good well, a No. Ia Arm
pump and Foss mot Foos)
engine of considerable horse power.
and the beauty of this outfit is the
small amount of gasoline consumed
by this engine. Several hours of
raising Of the $3.50 does
not lower the water. altho the well

Long Hauls Expensive.

Did il ever occur to you that If
land within a mile Of Deming cost
you three, four or even five times
as much as land way out, it was
still cheaper. When you get to

to use up the original difference in
price-and that isn't all, you have
always got to keep digging up"

Pressed for an estimate of what

World.
is ON HUNTING TRIP

Kermit Roosevelt. son of the for
mer president, who was his fathers
companion in Africa. and who
gained worldwide reputation as a
famous hunter, is stalking big game
In the mountains of southwestern
New Mexico. He arrived on the
Golden State Limited. Saturday
evening. and left the following day
for the Silver City country and incl
dentally to stalk some big game in
the mountains.
Sunday morning he ate a hearty
breakfast with Manager and Mrs.
Benedito and the GRAPHIC editor,
following which DR.. Moir called
with his car and took the party, in
company with Mayor Corbett. for a
drive about the city. a huge bou-
quet of beautiful roses, such as only
grow in Deming. first being pre-
sented the famous traveller by Mrs.
Moir. Visits were made to the
various public and private buildings
just completed or in process of con-
struction, and to say that our dis
tinguished guest was surprised and
delighted, is putting il very mildly.
He displayed the genuine Roosevelt
enthusiasm.
During the drive the car stopped
many times 10 have our local people
meet young Roosevelt and he ex-
pressed the opinion at the close Of the
trip that he had never been more cor
daily received. II was a Joy ride"
every minute.
1t is positively refreshing to see
young man of Kermit Roosevelt's
type. When one thinks of the airs"
he might assume If he felt so dis
posed and then sees the true manli-
ness Of representative young
American that he typifies it makes
the country have a deeper respect,
If such a thing were possible, for
his father and mother.
After his hunting trip is over Mr..
Roosevelt will be- the editors guest
for one or two days, during which
period We shall see that he is given
an opportunity to observe our vast
agricultural development and how
the desert blooms. His praise was
unstinted for our air, our water,
our public spirit and our people,
and when he sees our wealth-pro-
ducing pumps and our beautiful
broad green acres, his name will go
on our booster list for keeps.
The Roosevelt spirit fits in
mighty well with the spirit of the
Great Southwest.

j. H. Jaque, connected with a
prominent Chicago industry, but
who for the past two years has
made his home in this region, was
an interested caller at the Chamber
of Commerce, Friday afternoon, be-
ing attracted by our fine display of
fruit products. He accorded the
GRAPHIC scribe very pleasant in
terview and expressed an absolutely
unbiased opinion. His large Chi
cago interests preclude the possibil-
ity of his investing in any other in
dustries, so that he was in no sense
prejudiced booster. He is a close
observer of conditions and has been
a resident of every state in the
union, some few months and 9th
ers few years. He spoke of some
good features in every state, but
said that this region had more to
attract a person as a permanent
place of residence.
With reference to California and
Florida, he expressed the opinion
that they ywere both delightful plac-
es to live a part of the year. but
that it is impossible to not tire Of
the..sameness. He said that people
of those states are mighty good
boosters, but that no one could
deny the truth of his statements.
Mr.. Jaque is very optimistic re-
garding the possibilities of this re.
gion and sees nothing but prosperity
ahead.

Speaking of Plums.

Deming can show the youngest
bearing fruit trees in the United
States, witness the fact that Chris
Raithel has just picked from a q
year-old plum tree seven pounds Of
luscious fruit. The little tree is
less than four feet high and has n
broad spreading top.
A spray from the little fellow is
in the GRAPHIc's fruit display and
has 10 plums on 81 inches. II any
other part Of the United States can
beat this record we shall be glad to
publish the report.

of the crop in Arizona and Nevada.
Up to and including midnight, July

2 months. About 100 more cars

AS j. H. Fowler was digging his
well Ia miles south of town A. c.

the well, pushed his foot into a soft
place and the water gushed out in
such quantities as to make it dan
gerous to be down there. He called
hastily to Mr.. Fowler. who started
to pull him up, when the crank han
die on the windlass broke and the
flying crank nearly broke his left
arm. The man in the we'll, caught
onto beam and saved himself from
being drowned. A bunch of pipe
and tools are in the well, which will
probably remain there, as they can

A MORAL ISSUE.

Protection is essentially and In
trinsically unjust. At the very TIRES
hold of the discussion If protection
just men should insist that govern
ment has no right through statute
to enable few men to increase
their wealth at the expense of the
whole body of consumers. Right and
justice are opposed to such a sys-
TEN, and it is idle for men to at
tempt to reason on the benefcent re-
suits of injustice. Injustice in the
long run always brings evil, and men
may be ever so wise in determining
the good results of an unjust law,
vet they overlook the fact that the
results must in the very nature Of
things eventually bring destruction.

Craze for Pleasure.

The proprietor of a New York

it about as follows: Dinners, $685.

theatres, $4,000; taxi-cabs, $175,
900; hotels 100000; various dissi-
pations, 100000. Upper Broadway
and some other portions of the city
after nightfall present a wonderful
appearance, alive with illumination
and gay with amusements. Theaters,
saloons, hotel Hobbies, and places
OF evil resort are ablaze with cleo
trio lights and street cars, automo-
biles and taxi-cabs rush hitner and
thither with an activity greater than
that witnessed in the middle of a

is bent upon having a good time,
1nding some means of passing the
hours in pleasure.
