Willis Thompson and r. w. Thomp-

structing settlers how to plant pota-
toes. There are large number of
these new settlers who will devote a
considerable portion OF their acreage
to early truck. Potatoes seem to be
the chief vegetable so far, but it is
understood that considerable attention
will be paid to corn and to forage
crops. This vicinity raises very little
hay, but the newcomers seem to think
that the soil is particularly adapted to
certain kinds of hay and will expert
ment on quite an extensive scale the
coming year. Many of the new set

tory be located here. They are op-
timistic over the possibility of cucum-

smaller vegetables that can be dis

He stated further, that in the opinion
of the committee large profits were
made by manufacturers and refiners
of sugar. due to the customs tariff,
and that placing sugar on the free list
would reduce the profit, and would
not destroy the industry in the United
States, but would result in saving to
the American people $107,000000. He
said There has been universal and
general demand from all parts of the
United States for free sugar, that the
high cost of living may be reduced to
some extent. The removal of this tax
being a relief to all, no matter how
poor, the burden will be shifted to
those who possessed more than COM
Portable fortunes, and who can bear
the additional tax without serious in
convenience"

The first disagreeable demonstra-
ton observed here since the Inaugural
tion of the strike that caused the
walk-out of the union engineers en-
ployed by the Mississippi Central rail
road, occurred yesterday. The morn
ing departure of No. /, as was also
that of No. 3, at 2:40 p, M, was void
of any unusual occurrence.
Last night, however, at 1920 when
No pulled into the station there was
an unusually large crowd congregated.
They constituted for the most young
men, and idlers, some of whom essay
ed the role of 'sympathizers." When
the engineer alighted he was the tar
get for much abuse, such words as
"scab," "cut-throat," rat" and various
other and uglier expressions being
hurled at him. There were several in
the crowd who were undoubtedly un-

displayed a partially emptied flask
About 1880 at the corner of Pine and
Mobile street a small fight occurred
between two men whose names could
not be learned. No arrests
were made. There were no officers
present on the arrival of No. a. which
no doubt encouraged the malcontents
to make the demonstration they did.
1t is fair to state that the local en-
| gineers who are out on the strike have
had no hand in this ugly behavior
so far as can be learned they are con
Quoting themselves in a becoming ant
gentlemanly manner. A near-fight l
reported in the lobby of the Hotel Hat

Washington, March While the

President Sherman in Oklahoma and

statement that Mr.. Clark would not

because he did not believe presiding

invitations from Boston and elsewhere
to make political speeches was made
the basis for statement from Mr..
