(Gulfport Herald.)

Congressman B. P. Harrison, who
is spending some time at>his home on
West Beach, taking a rest after his
arduous duties in the national con.
gress, was a Bolixi visitor yesterday
afternoon.
He was asked about the status of
the matter of correcting the chart
which shows inadequate depths Of
water at various points in the chan
mel leading into Back Bay harbor and
stated that the matter was being con.
sidered. At first the authorities were
inclined to insist that the chart was
all right, but they have now about
been persuaded to give the matter
their careful attention and a re-sur.
vey in not improbable.
Congressman Harrison discussed
the Leaf River project very interest
ingly. 1t is a matter that is close
to his heart and he is in hopes that
he can get the Board of Army En-
glneers to make trip to Southern
Mississippi sometime in the near fu-
ture to investigate the feasibility of
the project. Ht believes that they
will see the possibilities that lie
therein, both for Hattiesburg and
Pascagoula and for the country ad-
jacent to the river. The plan is for
a channel four feet deep at the mini
mum, which will enable certain craft
to make the trip through and would
also serve for timber hauling, as well
as to give a water competition, which
would have valuable effect on
freight rates. If the Board of Army
Engineers can be introduced to come
down to the southern part Of the |
state, Mr., Harrison hopes to have the !

development PLAN
Is ATTRACTING
ATTENTION
SUPPORT OF RAILROADS AND
LAND OWNERS WILL BE GIVEN
BONA Fi0E PROPOSITION.

The proposed organization of the
South mississippi Development Asso-
citation now being agitated, first men
ton of which was made in The News
several days ago, is naturally attract
ing attention from the progressive and
thoughtful it it is a well-settled belief
that the tide of immigration can be
greatly accelerated, if a permanent
bureau for advertising this section
can be established with headquarters
at some central point in South Missis-
sippi. and an office and permanent
exhibit IN Chicago and possibly other
northern centers.
1t is "A seItied proposition that to
make such an organization a success
there must be cooperation on the part
of the large land owners, the saw-mill
men, with lands constantly being de-
nuded of their timber, the bankers and
other business men in the cities and
more important than all, the railroads.
For the purpose of learning what the
attitude of one of the railroads into
Hattiesbarg would be towards this
movement. News representative yes
terday interviewed Mr.. r. K. Smith
general manager of the Mississippi
Central railroad. Mr.. Smith without
reserve, asserted his belief in the
value al intelligent publicity and
frankly stated that he believed that
a well arranged exhibit in the north
will do more than any other one factor
m attracting people to this section. He
asserts however, that it would be folly
to undertake such work without it's
management was in capable hands
that in addition to a general secretary
or managing director, that firstclass
advertising specialist should be en-
Pioyed. IL the association is formed
and the proposed work is undertaken.
Mr.. Smith believes that this section
has marvellous latent resources, and
that in the course of time they will be
recognized, but is sure much quicker
results will be gotten if there is
a weil-planned, land advertis- !
ing bureau established. through the
of the various interests
to be effected by such methods The
mississippi Central railroad and the
]. j. Newman Lumber Company are
willing to cooperate, provided there |
is no money required of them until the |
success Of the movement is assured |
by bona fide subscriptions made thor
oughly binding on those who are able !
to pay those subscriptions through the |
three years that will be required to (
put the plan through.
Mr.. Smith states that the interest
ne represents. is now in a way putting
large sums into a publicity campaign,
but as stated they stand ready to do
more. when shown a practical way to
get results

Possibilities OF
The CANE SYRUP
INDUSTRY
MANUFACTURER GIVES INTEREST
ING FACTS SHOWING WHAT HAS
BEEN DONE IN GEORGIA.

E. Hening Smith, vice-presdent of
the Acknowledged Syrup Company
the Gamers and distributors Of the
popular brand of "Alaga" syrup, is in
the city and from him The News OBJ.
tains some interesting facts relative
to the cane syrupt industry His com.
Pany was organized five and a half
years ago, when South Georgia was
producing 5000 half-barrels of cane
syrup. With the growth of the indus
try among the farmers, his business
has grown, until today he is selling
syrup in twenty-six states of the I'm
ion, while last year the Georgia crop
Of cane syrup reached 10000 half
barrels.
Mr. Smith has seen specimens of
syrup grown in this section, and is
convinced that as high a grade of
syrup can be produced here as in
Georgia. His company not only sells
canned syrup here in large quantities,
but is prepared to buy at the market
price all syrup that may be offered
them, if put up in barrels or half bar
rels.
Mr.. Smith states that all cane syrup,
like cotton, is bought on grade, and
those who desire the best prices in
any market, must seek to keep up a
grade standard.
Mr.. Smith states, with reference to
the cane business, that where people
undertake to raise small patches of
cane and have been accustomed to
rely on a local trade for their market,
they soon become discouraged when
they go into the business on a CONNER
cial basis, as the wholesale price they
must accept, if they find a market at
all, discourages them. He states.
however, that cane may be grown on
a. scale equal to that of cotton, and
with much less trouble, and the
money yield per acre can be made to
double and treble that of the same
acreage in cotton.
1t is a recognized fact that nothing
is more certain in this section than
sugar cane. The question naturally
arises, why then do not our farmers
organize and go into the business on
a commercial basis? Mr.. Smith feels
sure If they could see what South
Georgia is doing, they would.

Congressman Harrison Talks
Of Leaf River Project
IF ARMY ENGINEERS CAN BE IN DUcED THEMSELVES
IMPRESSED WITH ITS FEASIBILITY

Club and Gulfport Commercial union
extend hearty invitations to that
body and have it visit the three
towns mentioned to see the status
of the harbor projects in each as
well as the general development of
the country and its industries.
Mr.. Harrison expects a man Mon
day, representing the War Depart
ment, who will accompany him to
Wolf River, north of Pass Christian,
to inspect crossing where it is de-
sired to get the consent of the War
Department for the construction of a
bridge connecting the country road.
Congressman Harrison is very
much interested also in the welfare
of the Penscagula and Gulfport har-
bors, and thinks both are in good
shape at present. He has many
friends in Biloxi and never fails to
get jolly welcome when he comes
to this city.

CIRCUIT COURT in A
RURAL COUNTY
SITE
NEW AUGUSTA CORRESPONDENT
DleREssEs LONG ENOUGH TO
PICTURE SOME SCENES.
Special to The Nel0S.

Special to The Nelos.
New Augusta, Miss, Sept. 1O.-The
second week of Circuit Court is in
full blast, with yet heavy docket un.
cleared.
Only two felony convictions last
week; one being John Mckay, white,
for stealing copper fittings from a saw
mill, and the other, Will Young, a
negro, assault with intent, on another
negro, about the defendants wife
Mckay was given four years in the
state prison, and sentence yet to be
given the negro.
Circuit Court in rural county site
is an exciting occasion. Groups of
friends of one defendant or litigant
can be seen on one corner; while I'M
der shade nearby his enemies are
equally busy in marshalling the evil
dence to convict the accused, or de-
feat the litigant, as the case may be.
Such times as a Circuit Court de-
plete all the chicken coops, exhaust
all cabbage and turnip beds, and here
and there glittering in the sun, may
be seen empty whiskey bottles, whose
liquid contents have been used to in !
spire hope to some criminal, assurance
to some litigant composure to some
witness, or eloquence to some lawyer. !
The burden of Judge Johnson's jul |
dicial creed is that there are no neces-
sary evils; that crime must be sup
pressed; that society must be pre-
served; that the guilty must suffer,
and the innocent secured in all their
rights.
Many cases are on tue trial docket
this week against the n. o., NJ. & c.
Railroad, most of the cases growing
out of a wreck at Titles Creek, in
October, 1911. These cases were de-
layed by the granting of an injunction
by Chancellor Wood, which injunction
was dismissed by the Supreme Court; Il
which enabled the claimants to prose
cute their claims separately

LONDON Nov 23.-Every dispatch

simism along the diplomatic corps here
over the situation which is likely to
arise from the Balkan war.
The dispatches indicate that war
preparations are being made by Russia,
Austria, Germany and Italy. Rouma-
MIA, the only Balkan kingdom when
remained neutral, will probably throw
her strength with Austria against Rus
sia, if hostilities begin.
A st. Petersburg telegram says that
The Russian war Office is rushing thou
sands of troops and war munitions to
The Austrian frontier.
Italy has consented tot join Austria
in a great naval demonstration in the
Adriatic sea and naval preparations by
Doth Austria and Italy are being
gushed
This joint sea demonstration is di-
fected against Servian occupation OIL
ports on the Adriatic.
Germany is massing troops in Pome-
lania, with a view to supporting her
ally, Austria, in the event of an out

Reports from Berlin say that the
German war office is in a furry and
that troop trains are being made up for

Germany, Too,
Mobilizing Army.

One hundred and fifty thousand Ger
man reserves have ben called out and
the work of mobilizing the German
army is rapidly proceeding, according
to a dispatch today from Berlin.
A dispatch from Sofia says that AL
bania's chiefs declared their independ-
ence of Turkey today. The telegram
added that plans for autonomous gov
eminent for Albania will be made at
once. Albania was the most important
Turkish government IN Europe, con-
aiming about 10000 square miles of
territory and 100000 inhabitants.
Despite Austria's denial that she is
making preparations for war, the Sc
eret mobilization of it's troops was con-
tinued today. A censorship over al
communications from Austrian cities
was established today.
