SYRUP INDUSTRY GROWING
Brookhaven Refinery Has More Orders
Than Can Fill-Other Concerns
Are Projected.

Jacksonville industry of growing, re
filming and canning molasess in Missis'
sippi is one of the industries Just coming
to the front with a rush since the boil
weevil has forced the farmers to DIVERSE
fy. There are one or two refineries and
canneries in the state at B~rookhaven.
and at Hattiesburg, and now Hermanville
IN Claiborne county, a little town in the
midst of a good farming and fine cane
country, has made arrangements to put
in a cannery next season and farmers
now are preparing their lands for cane. 1t
is found that growing cane and convert
ing it into syrup yields in many in
stances larger returns than planted in
cotton, and the excellence of the Missis-
sippi ribbon cane syrup is winning it
instant favor in the North, where the
pure can juice is a new thing. The
Brookhaven cannery was a week or so
ago the recipient of an order of 100 900
gallons from one firm in Indiana, and
has gotten more orders than it can pos
sibly fill this season.
There is also some talk of establishing
a refinery at Jackson and one at either
G%ulfport or Virgins for the next year.
The can grown on the sandy land OF
South Mississippi is lighter in color, has
a more delicate aroma and flavor, and
is a "fancier" syrup than that produced
on heavier land.

stitute only 1917 per cent of the total
population, as compared with 1871 per

WILL BUILD DRAINAGE DITCH.
Lowland Section of Alcorn County to Be
Reclaimed.

Jackson.-The people of Alcorn county
who have long desired that drainage
work be undertaken to drain a large Sec
ton of that county which is low and sub
ject to overflow, are now to realize their
ambition, for the great drainage ditch
will begin about a mile from Rienzi, on
the southern border of the county, and
viii extend beyond Cewalla, Tenn. There
will be eleven tributaries. The ditch will
cost the drainage district over $50, 900,
but will add many times that amount in
value to the lands, making available for
farming purposes a fine section of ex-
ceedingly rich and desirable farming
country. The contract provides that the
work shall be completed by February 1,
1913. This is one of the first drainage
projects in the state to get under way
in answer to the recently enacted laws

Christ Gives Peace.

Christ gives peace by harmonizing
us with ourselves. The sou OF man
Is full Of discords. Made to give
forth wonderful harmonies, II is now
an instrument all discordant and I'M
strung. Man Is not master of him
self. His higher nature is at vari-
ance with his lower nature; his bet
ter impulses are the prey of those
that are base. His heart is filled with
a thousand anxieties, and sin en-
trenched in the heart has rendered
d%iscordant all the faculties of the
soul. There is no peace of mind.
there is n tranquility of the inner
man; all is discord and confusion.
Now there is nothing that will har-
monte self with self and calm this
agitated and u%ntranquil sea of feeling
and emotion within except the grace
of Jesus Christ. This grace of God
will be as the oil upon the troubled
waters to calm the agitation within:
1t will give a new note, to which al!
the ~discordant strings of the heart
can be attuned. Now Christ gives
this grace, and he Is the only one who
can give it. Therefore, he is the Civ
er of peace. Out of the inharmony Of
our inner selves grows a wonderful
harmonious self. The whole inner
nature is concordant with the one
clear keynote, and this gives perfect
peace. And so, while all is harmon
ious within, the world has no power
to destroy that peace. The Tranquil
ICED soul is Independent of environ
ment, of men, of the world.

horrible butchery without a parallel in
modern history, if, indeed, it has a
parallel in the history of all time.
What life remained within the, city's
walls when the Manchus sheathed their
swords and returned to Purple Hill was
stamped out by a detachment of the inn
perial army left at the scene for that
purpose. Those inhabitants who es-
capped the butchery of Friday and the
summary executions of Thursday were
hunted down among the charred ruins
and put to death.
The walls of Marking surround an I'M
covered grave.
The Manchu army of $4,000 men, their
work of carnage complete, are resting
in their entertainments on Purple Hill,
which overlooks the blood-stained pile
that was once a city. The rebels, at
least $4,000 strong, are encamped within
q few miles of the walls, without am
munition with which to avenge the mas
sacre.
All foreigners at Marking are believed
to have escaped with their lives. They
were notified by the Tartar general to
flee in advance of the slaughter which he
later ordered, and the Manchu soldiers
were instructed to show the foreigners
every consideration.

Dr. Rowan is only one of the seven
who are engaged in the war on hook
rowm in South Mississippi; others are
making as good record, comparatively,
as he is.
In the matter of the general educa-
ton of the public in health and hygiene
great results have been accomplished,
and a more general understanding of the
dangers that Turk in unscreened houses
and kitchens, exposed eatable to the
ravages of flies; the spreading of con,

abundant fruit and the health authorities

After having lived in poverty eighty
