STOLEN TYPEWRITER
is RECOVERED.

Some two or three weeks ago ]. M.
Foley, who has an office in the Carter
building, was touched for his type
writer and no trace was left or found
as to the identity of the thief Mr,
Foley thought he had seen the last
of the machine and had doubtless
become reconciled to the loss. But
yesterday afternoon Dan Williams,
son of T. ]. Williams, in company
with another lad, discovered a type
writer in the old turpentine still near
Gordon creek The matter was re-
ported to Mr.. Williams, who in turn
notified the officers and M. Doherty
of the police force went to the still
this morning and recovered the lost
machine, which proved to be Mr..
Foley's property. What object a thief
could have in stealing a typewriter
and then abandoning it is unaccount-
able, unless he was a greenhorn, new
in his profession, and thought by its
facian resemblance to a cash register
that the thing contained money and
saw his mistake only when he tried
to get at the kale.

PRESIDENT JACKSON CHOOSES
EXCELLENT AIDS FOR THE
CLUBS WORK.
new DIRECTORS SHOW INTEREST
All But Three of the New Members
Attend the Meeting. Joe Cook Makes
Booster Speech. Talks Encourag-
lnely of Normal Appropriation.

That the coming year bids fair to
be the most successful in the history
of the Commercial Club was exempli-
fed last night when 20 members of
the Board of Directors, out of the 25
recently elected, were present. This
is the first meeting of the new board
and much business of importance was
brought up. Plans for the coming
year were discussed briefly and bills
for the current month allowed.
President Joe Cook of the Mississip-
pi Normal was present and delivered
characteristic booster speech"
He stated that he felt very optimistic
over the recent turn affairs have
taken at the state capital regarding
the appropriation asked for at the
hands of the legislature for the State
Normal. The tide that first went out
with such discouraging reports seems
now to bear on it's return the assur-
ances that the Normal will get her
just deserts when the appropriation
bill comes up for final action. The
members of the state senate are
known to be almost as whole in fav.
or Of the measure as it stands. Mr..
Cook stated that the work at the
grounds was progressing very salts.
factorily and that all things consider.
ed the Normal interests had made re
markable strides.

negro MASONS
in LEGAL BATTLE
Split In Lodge Circles In jackson
And officers Take q
Hand.

Special to The NeiCS.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24.-While the
Masonic Union Hill, Grand Lodge of
Free and Accepted Masons, of Mis-
sissippi, was holding meeting pre-
paratory to "goating" a number of
newly elected candidates, Deputy
Sheriff Will Sandel burst in dpon the
startled gathering with an injunction
which had the effect of breaking up
the meeting and putting an end to
further Masonic deliberations until
Chancellor G. G. Lyell, of the Chanc-
cry court can determine if the String
er Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted
Masons of Mississippi, is the lodge
what is"
The Stringer faction claims to be
the only authorized negro Masonic
order in the state, and when few
disgruntled members got together and
formed the Masonic Union Hill Grand
Lodge, to oppose the parent organiza-
ton, few of the stanch old members
hastily consulted with an attorney
and framed a bill of complaint alleg-
ing that the Union Hill crowd were
imposters and that they we're tres
passing on the constitution and laws
of the first named organization.
1t was after z o'clock last night
when Chancellor Lyell was asked to
sign the injunction, and at $3.50 o..
clock a deputy was sent to the hall
where the newly formed organization
was holding a meeting. Deputy San.
del was admitted by the outer guard
after displaying his authority, and he
forthwith served the papers which
temporarily put the new order out OF
business.
| The deputy then went in search oi
the officers of the Fidelity Benevo
lent Association with an Injunction
issued against it and D. D. Redmond
and B. w. Cox, to put both organiza
tions under the ban of the courts or
der until the case is called for trial.
A spirited fight is anticipated ir
the next ten days when the case Is
called on a motion to dissolve the in
junction.

SOME FREAK LEGISLATION.

Some time ago the Kansas City
Mo-, Journal got into trouble with the
press of the State of Kansas by max
ing the remark that the Sunflower
State has more fool laws than any of
it's sister commonwealths. The Jour-
nal was scored by its Kansas contem-
poraries until it got sore and started
in to substantiate its assertion. The
Journals editors explored Kansas
statutory enactments and found the
following among other laws which it
holds corroborates its allegation:
To fail to clean hen house once
every twenty-four hours, $25 fine.
To sell dime novel with an ac-
count of crime, $1OO fine.
To keep tame pigeons, SIS.
To talk back to policeman, 800.
To "sic" one dog on another, 500.
To hitch horse to weight weigh
ing less than thirty pounds, $25.
To throw rice at newly welded
couples, 800.
To whittle on a fence. 500.
To spit wad of chewing gum in q
street car, $25.

Mississippi Poultry Association was
opened to the public patronage yes
terday evening at six o'clock and a
fair crowd was in evidence during the

tinue to manifest the proper interest

tations. The show will continue

of the youngsters who want to see the
exhibits will be admitted for 5 cents

the better grades of poultry, which is
bound to rebound to the upbuilding
of the industry, and to the benefit of
those who engage in it. The only dis
appointment that has been experienc-

immediate vicinity of Hattiesburg, but
this is more than Offset by the larger
number than expected from distant
points.

MAKING MARKETS
FOR new CROPS
Business Interest of The State Trying
to Provide For Diversif-
cation.

Special to The NetDS
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 24.-Business
interests throughout the state are
busily engaged in making prepara-
tions to provide ready markets for the
diversified crops that will be raised
by farmers during the coming year.
Realizing the folly of preaching
diversifcation to farmers unless ac-
companied by the assurance that
ready markets can be furnished for
their products, and crops converted
into cash as quickly as cotton, bank
ers and merchants are devising ways
and means of bringing this about and
in some communities they are making
good headway.
One of the most important move
ments now on foot is to provide stock
yards at the principal market centers
where buyers will be always on hand
to purchase cattle, hogs and sheep.
Commission merchants and whole
| SdlcIS are bcuulhe OuI ClICuldI lolIcIf
to farmers stating that they will buy
for cash all Irish potatoes offered al
the prevailing market prices
In other communities companies
are being formed to build syrup ref1n
cries where cane molasses and sor
ghum can be standardized and mad,
in readiness for market. Relying ol
assurances from these promoters
farmers will plant a very heavy acre
age in ribbon and Louisiana cane rhi
year.
The first years experience of Mis-
sissippi farmers with peanut raisinl
was not wholly satisfactory, due CHIEF
ly to the fact that they were not az
quainted with methods of culture, bu
they have learned a great deal b.
experience and expect better market
this year.
The acreage planted in early vegt
table for the Northern markets wi
be fully seventy-five per cent large
than that of last year, and associs
tions and exchanges are being forme
to find ready markets north of th
Mason and Dixon line for these PR
ducts
