MAMMOTH COMET
A STARTLING SIGHT SEEN TRURS-
DAY EVENING IN THE SKY.
Some Mistookit For an Air
Ship. Negroes Frightened
and Pray. Seen All Over
the Country.

Last Thursday evening about 2
O'Clock, wonderful comet or some
other object was seen in EllisvilIe
eareering through the sky, and which
was beautiful phenomena.
A burst Of light appeared in the
far east like sky rocket, from
which EN-, rged two brilliant lights
in the shape of comet with long
purple tails In direct course west
they followed each other, close to-
gether, and passed over the town.
1t was a brilliant spectacle and
caused much comment. The transit
occupied fully two minutes. The at
mosphere was heavy but clear.
The same heavenly visitor was seen
in other States and sections. A
telegram from Mobile, Ala, says:
The meteor seen tonight through
out the South was plainly visible to
persons in Mobile who CHANGED to be
in the open shortly after O'Clock.
1t was described as having two heads
and was yariously mistaken to be an
airship and a comet. Prof Robert,
a local astronomer, says it could
have been only a meteor, which ara
common in August and early Sep

A dispatch from Meridian, Miss,
says: A number of people in this
city claim to have seen early tonight
what was rather peculiar atmosp-
heric or metreoric phenomena or air
ship. Those who saw the strange
and unusual sight claim that it was
an airship of some sort They say
that they first saw two large blue
lights apparently about two feet
apart and they moved across the
city from southeast to northwest on
a horizontal line. AT no time did
the peculiar lights snow vs-ss-r---i-A
to come to the earth, but kept going
until they disappeared under aclond
They did not seem to go even diagon-
ally. The two lights appeared to be
about 1900 feet in the air, and were
also seen by parties living at Obedi-
ah, eight miles north of the city.

STORY ABOUT BURNING

Negro Who Says He Saw a

Not Believed.

Jackson, Sept. 4-The marvellous

the cage at Okley farm where thirty
five prisoners persisted, was today de-
clared fake by district Attorney

Better Electric Lights for
ElIisville.

The Laurel Light and Railway
Company took over the Ellisville
electric lighting plant on September
1st, according 20 contract, and have
a force OF hands now at work tearing
away the old poles, wire and entire
outfit and substituting new and up-to-
date material. Only the best wire
and other paraphernalia win be used.
The poles, for instance, come from of
of Lookout Mountain, near Chatta
nooga, Tenn, are heart chestnut, and
cost $3.50 each. They last almost
like granite. II will be the first Of
October before our entire system is
remodelled and the new put in; but a
decided improvement in our lights
will be made at once. And another
thing, our manufacturing enterprises
can now buy electric power, either
day or night, and which is much
cheaper and more satisfactory than
gasoline or steam. Ellisville will now
have one Of the best electric systems
in the South The old plant has also
been abandoned and the machinery
viii be sold as junk, as our 'juice"
comes direct from the batteries at
Laurel.

VIII Try Growing Tobacco
In Jones County.

Mr.. C. K. Evans has just returned
from Mullens, South Carolina, the
center of the bright tobacco section
of the state, where he investigated
the industry t here with a view to its
introduction in Jones county, Mr..
Evans believed that the lands here
were adapted to tobacco growing, and
that the crop would prove more pro-
ftiable than cotton. The result Of
his visit was to make this conviction
more sure, and he returned to Laurel
enthusiastic over the prospects of
making tobacco growing the leading
and best paying industry in Jones
county.
Mr.. Evans arranged to have man
who has made a success in the bust
ness come to Laurel, and demonstrate
the growing and curing of tobacco
next year, and when this man comes
he will takepleasure in giving the
necessary information and instruc-
ton to anyone who wished to make
a trial planning. Mr.. Evans found
the soil there similar to that of Jones
county. He was told that tobacco
would not succeed where was q heavy
clay subsoil, but that the gray sands
of this section were ideal tobacco
lands Every acre OF such lands
there is held at price of from 500
to $3.50 acre, and this year the to-
bacco growing there made from fifty
to one hundred dollars an acre above
expenses. The crop requires only a
little more than three months for its
production and the farmer gets his
money for his tobacco while he is
chopping Laurel Argus.

A LAND OF GOSHEN.
Such Undeniably Is Jones
County, Miss.

We have a wonderful soil, climate
and country right here in Jones coun-
ty, and this fact was more strongly
impressed on our mind last Saturday
than ever before You can here pro-
duce, IN the greatest abundance and
to perfection, every fruit and serial
known TO tbs temperate zone.
First came in our old friend Capt.
Dick Williams who never visits Ellis
vile without some kind remem brauce
from his farm for We Editor. The
Captain brought us large sack filled
with he finest pears We ever saw or
tasted and paper.shell pecans, grown
Ia his nursery. They were last years
crop, of course, and which shows
that this nut will keep and can be
marketed at any time. Captain Will
liams has one thousand pecan trees
on his place, and his nursery covers
between eighty and one hundred
acres. His trees are nineteen years
old, and are all bearing. We saw In
Columbus county, N. g., pecan tree
the nuts from which took FIRST prize at
the Worlds Fair, but they are not
equal in size or meat to those grown
by Capt. Williams la fact the Ag.
ricultural Department of the Govern
ment sent an expert to investigate
Capt. Williams pecans, snd he pro-
nounced them the finest variety grown
in the whole country. There are two
kinds, the Stewart and Vandever
both as large as the thumb of a
grown man. And not only this, but
the shell is so thin that they can be
cracked with the fingers, while the in
terror is nearly all meat Capt. Will
liams says he bought the nuts and
planted them, after first sprouting in
boxes filled with sand His trees are
now laid by" as it were, and be
pastures his nursery. The pecan in
dustry is a big thing, and our Jones
county landowners should all have
groves.
And we have had another demon
stration of what Jones county can do
in the way Of agricultural products.
Mr.. v. b. McGee, who lives at Old
Spanish peanuts, new variety, extra
large and very productive. Mr.. Nc
Gee also brought us hand OF Water
Proof Louisiana rice, that he grew on
thin upland, without a particle. of
manure The heads are large and
heaty and the stalk three feet high.
Mr. MCGEE says lie can grow 20
bushels of this rice on an acre.
We surely have magnificent farm
ing country here IN Jones county,
and when we hold that fair we can
exhibit our resources. We must by
all means organize that fair assoeia-
tion.

this years crop of cotton at Is cents

The action OF the convention binds

In the past repeated efforts have
been made to have similar resoln-
ton passed by the convention, but
advocates Of the proposal always
failed to muster the necessary votes.
This year there was no opposition
to the plan. Several of the leading
cotton growers wanted the minimum
figure fixed at II or 20 cents, pointing
out that owing to tightness of the
money market and unsettled coudi-
tions in Europe aud America prices
of all products would soar and cotton
would bring that price If members Of
the union held out
