FARMERS INSTITUTE
CLOSES ITS ROUNDUP
HOGS SUBJECT OF SESSION
Serum Treatment for Cholera
Explained by DR.. ]. A. Beavers
OF ton.--Tuberculosis and
Hookworm Discussed

The annual farmers institute
roundup at the A. and NJ. College.
which began last Monday, closed
on Friday. The leading features
of the final session were an ad-
dress by DR.. w. S. Leathers of
the state board of health. a dis
cussion of the serum treatment
for hog cholera by DR.. ]. A.
Beavers of Canton and a contest
in canning tomatoes and naming
trees, plants and shrubs.
DIR. Leathers' address was a
stereoptican crusade against
tuberculosis and the hookworm.
1t was very thorough and was
well received. DR.. Beavers ex-
plained the symptoms of hog
cholera and read statistics show
ing the great value of the cholera
serum. He advised the farmers
of Mississippi to employ the
serum prepared by the agri-
cultural college, as he found it
the purest that can be secured in
the state. In the general dis
cussion which followed it was
decided to urge the legislature to
appropriate a larger sum for the
manufacture of serum at the
A. and M. College, the present
appropriation being entirely
inadequate.
The discussion ended with a
public demonstration of the
simultaneous method of ad-
ministering hog cholera serum.

TROUBLE over WOMAN
OCCASIONS SHOOTING
FRANK MONTGOMERY WOUNDED
Is Shot BY CASTOR Randle, Whose
Wife had Left Him and Taken
Up With the Man Whom
He Attacked

Frank Montgomery. a negro
living on the plantation of Mr..
Cary Cooke in the Prairie section
west of the river, was shot and
seriously wounded early Friday
morning by CASTOR Randle, a
negro residing on the plantation
of Mr.. I. W. Hardy in the same
neighborhOod. The shooting oc-
Cured on Mr.. Cookies plantation
and the load from Randle's shot
gun struck Montgomery full in
the hip.
A woman was at the bottom of
the trouble. 1t seems that RAN
die had trouble with his wife.
and she took up with Montgom-
cry, having spent Thursday
night at his house. Randle
learned where she was, and early
Friday morning went to Mont
gomery's house and waited for
him to come out. When Mont
gomery emerged from the house
Randle fired upon him with the
above stated result.
Randle is employed as a feeder
Of stock on Mr.. Hardy's planta-
ton, and after he had shot Mont
gomery returned to the planta-
ton, where he remained until
Friday night, when Deputy
Sheriff Joe Harris and Constable
w. H. Foreman went out after
him in an automobile. They
placed him under arrest and
brought him to Columbus, where
he was lodged in Jail.
Montgomery's wound was
dressed by DIR. J. L. Erwin, after
which he was brought to local
infrmary. His wound is rather
serious, but the attending sur
geans hold out hope of his re-
covery.

TO INACCURATE NEW
TRAIN SERVICE TODAY
ON SOUTHERN IN MISSISSIPPI
Accommodation Train Will be Run
Between Columbus and Wi
nona-Will be Big Boost
for Local Trade

In accordance with an an
nouncement made several weeks
ago by F. V. Taylor. vice-presi-
dent of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad and the Southern Rail-
way in Mississippi, the latter
road will today begin the opera
ton of a new train between CO.
lumbus and Winona.
The new train will arrive in
Columbus at 10:l5 a. M, and de-
part on its return trip at 4:15 p.
M, thus allowing the passengers
to spend practically the entire
day in Columbus. This will be
a great help to local merchants,
as the stores here carry the
largest stocks to be found on the
line of the Southern Railway any
where west of Birmingham, and
many people living between Wi
mona and Columbus will come
here to do their trading.
For the present the new train
will carry neither mail or ex-
press. 1t is customary with
railroads putting on new trains
of this character to wait and see
the amount of patronage accord
ed them before asking the ex-
press companies and postoffice
authorities to establish a mail
and express service. Persons
living along the line of the road
between here and Winona have
for more than year past been
urging the company to put on a
train between these two points,
and pow that the company has
acceded to their wishes it is be-
lieved that the new train will be
literally patronized.
The establishment of the new
train service will occasion a
slight change in the time of ar
rival and departure of the regu-
lar passenger trains on the Sou
thern Railway in Mississippi.
West bound train No. 8, which
formerly left at 7:05 a. M, will
now depart at 1880 a. m; train
No. II, which formerly left at
12;;45 p. M, will leave at 1885
p. M. and train No. 10, which
formerly arrived at 7::3O .. m.
will now arrive at 7:15 p, m
Train No. IL will arrive at 2::15
p. M, as heretofore.
With the establishment of this
new train service the custom of
carrying passengers on local
freight trains will be discon-
tinued.

NEGRO BOY IS DROWNED
WHILE IN SWIMMING
Eugene Moore is Seized With
Cramps and Sinks to Watery
Grave before aid Reaches him

Eugene Moore, a negro boy
about sixteen years of age, was
drowned in the Tombigbee river
at a point near Symons' well last
Thursday afternoon. Moore, to-
gether with several other boys
of similar age, was in swimming
in the wash hole at the above
named point when he was sud
denly seized win cramps. One
of his companions went to his aid,
and made slight effort to save
him, but seemed to be fir ghtened,
and after having caught the boy
by the tips of his fingers almost
Immediately released him.
After having been in the water
about two hours, the body was
rescued by Ben Johnson, a fish,
erman. Johnson was near the
scene when the drowning occur
red, and states that had he known
the boy was in danger he could
probably have saved his life.
Young Moore was a nephew of
Albert Bailus. one of the best
known negroes in the city, and
is said to have been an unusually
intelligent and industrious youth.

COPPER RIVER nAslN MINER
 AL RESOURCES DISCUSSED

A report entitled Mineral Re sources of the Lower Copper River Basin. Alaska, by Fred H. Moffit, of the United states Geological Sur yey. has just been issued as Bullet in 520-C.
 The search for gold and copper which began in the mountains south Of Chitina River, Alaska, with the rush of prospectors to the Copper River basin in 1898 has been car ried on spasmodically since that time. As a result copper was found in the mountains east Of Taral dur ing the first summer, and the gold pIacers Of Prenlner River were dis covered a few years later. No cop per has yet been produced in this district, according to the Geological Survey, but the facilities for trans portauon offered by the Copper Riv- CT & Northwestern Railway dur ing the last year have stimulated in- terest In the development Of copper properties, SO that considerable pros noctIng has been carried on.
 One small stream, Golconda Creek, a tributary of Bremner River, has yielded most of the gold SO far pro duced in this district, although Lit- tIe Bromuor River has contributed Ia part. Gold in commercial quan- titles has not been found near Taral nor between the Chitina and the 8remner In HanagIta Valley. The total production Of the district Is not known. but several thousand dol lars worth of gold has been produc- cd each year since mining began. The very high cost of supplies and difficulty of access have done much Co discourage prospectors.
 An the gold SO far produced in Jhc Rremner River valley has been obtained from stream gravels This valley Is practically unprospected, SO far as lode deposits are concerned. The three parts ot the valley of present or prospective importance because of known placer-gold de posits are Golconda Greek, Little Brcmner River, and the lower part of Brcmner above the Little Brem- ucr.
 The report briefly describes the geology or the region SO far as known and the prospects for the de- ycIopment of gold in the Bremner River valley, on Golconda Creek, and on Little Eremner River; it all SO discusses the character of the copper deposits in the mountains be- tween Canyon Creek and Chitina River.
