FINE HOG EXHIBITS.
rhe Largest Display of Hogs Since
Fair Started.

Fair Started.
There will be more premiums award
ed exhibitors In the swine department
at the Louisiana State Fair this year
than ever before, according to an off,
cial announcement by the management,
which refers the public to the cata-
logue for confirmation of the report.
The premiums last year totaled $1,000
In cash. This year the amount will be
considerably larger, and on that &C
count more swine than ever before are
expected.
Reports from several states indicate
that carloads Of fine hogs will be ship
ped here for exhibition. Some of the
biggest dealers in the United States
will have their finest specimens on ex-
hibition. Heretofore they have found
il profitable to come to the Louisiana
Fair, and their plans never fail to in
clude Shreveport on their exhibition
Itinerary. They will be at the Fair
Mt Shreveport stronger than during
any former year. which means that
this years Fair will be the best ever,
In SO far as the swine exhibit is con-
rerncd, rs well as in various other
ways
Good results Of the State Fair swine
exhibits are seen on all sides in Louisi-
ana Five years ago scarcely anybody
thought Of raising hogs in Louisiana
for commercial purposes, and few
persons knew how to raise them with
best results for simply home use
There has been an awakening In that
line during the past few years, and
many parishes now boast Of fine swine,
with prospects of still more develop
ment in the industry In some Sec
tions packing plants are even being
suggested Much of this improvement
Is due to ideas received at the State
Fair. which this year promises its Wis.
itors an excellent collection Of hogs for
display.

Frost Of Springfield, ILL.,, will again b<

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Start In the Schools.
By GEORGE f. cANFIELD.

6y 3EORdE r. CANFlELD.
The school is probably the most
hopeful field for our labors against
tuberculosis. For immediate prac
tical results in lowering the death
rate the hospitals, dispensaries
and visiting nurses are perhaps
mere important, but for the
achievement Of 6nal victory the
school offers the best opportunity.
There we can apply ourselves to
forming right habits instead Of
trying to change bad ones. There
we have the best chance to ar.
rest the germ before 1t starts on
its deadly work. There through
the education Of the children We
can most thoroughly and effec,
lively educate the whole com
munity.

UNWRTTTEN LAW INVOKED.
Johnnie Cooper In Jail Charged
with Murder of Nathaniel Cooper

Coroner Gamble held an inquest
Monday over the remains of Ma
thaniel Cooper, colored, who was
killed at his home near Cades Sat-
urday night. The verdict of the
jury was: THAT the deceased, Ma
thaniel Cooper, came to his death
by a gun-shot wound inflicted by
Johnnie Cooper" It being reported
that Johnnie Cooper had confessed
the deed to several people, Sheriff
Graham arrested him on Sunday
and placed him in Jail, where he
will await trial at the next term of
court. Since his arrest, the negro
denies his guilt, we understand.
From what can be learned, this
seems to be case of "Cherchez la
femme" and the "unwritten law"
Nathaniel Cooper, the dead man, is
said to have been tampering with
the affections of Johnnie CoOper's
lawful spouse, and the latter, out of
revenge, slew his rival. That is the
view taken by those most familiar
with the circumstances Of the case.
Saturday night, according to the
testimony adduced, Johnnie Cooper,
after having made deadly threats
threats against some unnamed enc
my, armed himself with a shotgun
and in company with another ne
gro, Mordecai McFadden, proceeded
to Nathaniel Cooper's house. Ar
irving there, McFadden entered the
house, where he found Nathaniel
sitting in the midst of his house,
hold mending one of the children's
shoes. The visitor informed Nathan-
iel that Johnnie Cooper was outside
and wanted TO see him. He did not
tell Nathaniel that Johnnie had his
gun, but the former was slow to re-
spond to the messengers summons,
anyway so Johnnie slipped around
to a convenient window, ,unlimbered
his shooting iron and filled Nathan
iel Cooper's body with small shot at
close range, wounding him so Sc
verely that after lingering in great
pain from 10 o'clock Saturday night
until 2 p. m. Sunday, he succumbed
to mis- wounds.

STOPPED THE LEAK.
Daring and Ingenious Work by . Nor.
wsaian Skipper.

Daring and Ingenious Work by . Nor.
wssian Skipper.
The most striking method ever
devised to stop vessels leak was
that which originated in the fertile
brain of Norwegian master Of a
bark flying the Norwegian flag.
This vessel, the Flora, bound for
Cape Town, experienced such ter
rife weather in the bay of Biscay
that she was obliged to lie to yor
six days. In the buffeting that the
bark received she sprang . leak and
began to take in water at the rate
of six inches an hour. All hands
were kent at the pumps day and
night without iatcrmission. As the
gale a!;,rr,l. the bark drove before
it into calmnr seas.
The car ain found that the leak
was getting worse. so he set his
brains to work. He constructed q
great waterproof canvas bag, six
teen feet long. six feet in circum-
ference and two feet in diameter.
This he kept distended by means
of hoops. A window of glass was
let into the side, five feet from the
bottom. The captain stepped into
this bag, and by means Of tackle
was drawn under the water 50 that
he could see the leak. The other
end of the bag being open and
above water, he had plenty Of air
and could communicate with his
men. Two sleeves had been made
in the bag, and were tied tightly
about his wrists, 80 that he could
work freely.
In this way, observing tine leak
Though the inserted window, the
captain worked steadily while the
ship was hove to. The vessel rolled
in a heavy swell, and sometimes the
master found himself from seven to
ten feet below the surface. At oBs
time the chafng of his feet against
the vessels side wore hole in the
bag and the water entered and Gov
cred him. But he was drawn up
in good time, the bag vas repaired,
the work continued, and the leak
stopped.-Harper's.

A Lament.

Why can we not have winter
When 1t should be In sight?
I'd hate to have the printer
See what long to write
About the kind Of weather.
Defying all the laws,
That's sort Of thrown together
For January thaws.
A fellow starts to saying
When looking at the STOW,
I'VE ought to have good sleighin8
About q month or so"
And when he gets his cutter
He finds, to bis regret,
The roads are soft as butter
And growing softer yet.
The stuff the fellow mixes,
Our careless weather man,
Il all at sevens and skies
And quite without plan.
We 90 out In the morning
To skate the CLASSY track.
Ind then with little warning
We have to wade 1t back.
IT makes a man feel ready
To lead q life Of crime
When winter should be steady
And working all the time
To have It raise the limit
And try to food the street
30 he will have to swim 1t
And soak In ice his feet

This week, the paper being given
largely over to school commence
ments, there is not room for much
local matter. We feel sure that
our readers will not object to giving
a plenty of space to the school clos
ings. We shall be pleased to publish
reports of the commencement exer-

it comes in net later than Tuesday

Miss Agnes Georgia Stackley has
our sincere thanks for an invitation
to the commencement exercises OF
Florence High school to be held
Thursday evening, June l, in the city
auditorium. DR. S C Mitchell, Pres
ident of the State university, will
deliver the literary address. Miss
Stackley is a member of the gradu-
ating class of twenty-five members
and is Historian" Of the class.
At the commencement exercises at
the State Medical College, Charles
ton, which took place last night, the
graduating class in medicine was
composed of 49 members. Among
the number Williamsburg was rep
resented by DR. Carl B Epps and DR.
WIN O'Bryan. Both these bright
young men were honor graduates,
DR. Epps ranking 4th and DR. O'Bry-
an 7th, and are on the staff of the
Roper hospital.
We return thanks to DR. Carl B
Epps. who graduates this year with
the degrees of B S and Ph G, for a
very handsome invitation to the
eighty-third commencement exer-
cises of the Medical College of South
Carolina, to be held at the Academy
of Music, Charleston, May .28-51.
| Others on the class roll from this
section are: Samuel Liston Mcknight,

are to be published, strange to say,
the State colleges don't 60 to Rich

ers good enough. It's 8 poor rule

1t always pleases us to know that
the boys and girls of Williamsburg
at home or abroad are achieving dis
tinction in any field of endeavor, ,and
it is especially gratifying to hear Of
honors won by them at school or

and pleasure that we note by the
