new COUNTY WOULD
COST OVER $4,000

w. A. White a member of the
committee recently named by Biloxi
mass meeting to secure further data
on the new county project, address
ed letter to the taxpayers in the
proposed new county to-day, citing
figures and facts regarding the mat
ter. In the event of the formation
of this county, strips of territory
would be taken from Harrison and
tL
Jackson counties.
Mr.. White contends that the initial
expense of instituting the county,
if it were formed, would be over
500, 900. and that the increase in
taxation in the new division would
be S2S, 500 per annum, or sufficient
money to pay the interest on $780,
600 worth of bonds. Therefore, he
argues, the new county would cost
the people Of that territory $4,000.

VISITORS ARE 'PBEVED"
OVER DEFEAT HERE

Our base ball team went over to
Pascagoula the early part of the
week and lost to the team Of that
place by score of 6 to 4. The
boys returned home much dissatis-
fled with the outcome of the game
and feel that they would have won
had it not been for one decision of
the umpire calling ball fair which
they alleged was clearly foul. Two
runs scored on this hit, no effort be-
ing made to put the runners out.
They are sure they can outplay the
Pascagoula boys and are hoping for
another game before the season is
over to decide which is really the
better team Of the two. Ocean
Springs has won game and SO has

PROSPERITY
RE|GNS IN
THE STATE
COL L0NEL "HIGH" HENRY, JACKSON
EDITOR, TELLS WHY.
CROPS FURNISH BASIS
They Are the Best He Has Ever
Seen and Promise to
Break Records.

Mississippi is on the eve OF period
of prosperity, according to Colonel
High" Henry, otherwise known as
R. H. Henry, publisher Of The Clar-
on-Ledger, Jackson, Miss, who has
been spending few days in New
Orleans.
Colonel Henry bases his prophecy
on the condition Of the crops, the
clearing of state institutions of graft
ers by :Governor Brewer and the
success of the good roads movement.
"The crops" said he are the
best have ever seen in the state.
The corn yield promises to be larger
and better than any on record. Be-
sides, it is now profitable to grow
corn, which it was not always be-
fore.
Diversified farming is largely re-
sponsible for the prosperity Of the
state, inasmuch .as all the farmers
are producing sufficient to feed them
selves in addition to the regular crops
which they sell.
"The potato and pea crop is the
best have seen. The farmers are
now growing their own hogs and
cattle.
The cotton crop is better than it
has been in the last two years and
is showing a higher yield per acre,
owing to the passing away of the
boil weevil; but the thing is the
corn crop, which has become a re-
cognized money crop the first time
since the war.
The cane crop, from which syrup
is obtained, is also very good. The
state is practically unaffected by the
changes in the tariff; in
fact, the tariff question is not even
being discussed.
Governor Brewers cleanup of
crooked officials has had good
effect in every way, regardless of the
charge made in some quarters that
he opened war on them for political
reasons. This is absolutely without
Governor Brewer has
openly declared that he is not seek
ing office and he has no political axe
to grind, therefore.
Great interest is being shown in
the good roads movement, and two
beats, meeting in jackson, that is to
say, two sections Of a county, each
one-fifth of the county,
have spent S5oO,OoO alone on good
roads.
"The trans-continental southern
automobile tour, which The
Item is supporting, has met with a
yread deal of enthusiasm in Mississ-
ippi, where the people hope soon to
execute plans for the completion OF
a North and South highway passing
Jackson and terminating in
New Orleans. :"

ELECTION TO DECIDE
ABOUT DIPPING VATS

Vicksburg, Miss, Sept. 11.-A
special election has been called for
Sept. 80 to ascertain the sentiment
of the people Of the Third District
on the subject of dipping cattle for
the purpose of exterminating ticks.
This action followed a meeting of the
Board of Supervisors held Tuesday,
at which the subject was fully dis
cussed, but with such differing views
that it was decided an election was
the only means of definitely settling
the question.

C0ELET BABY SEX
Duchess Of Roxburghe 0beys'
Doctor and Avoids Sugar
Joy Over Birth Of
an Heir.

London, Sept. II The baby born
to the duchess Of Roxburghe is a
boy principally because his mother,

nouncing the birth Of an heir to-day
the duke Of Roxburghe admitted that
his wife had practiced a form Of eu-
genicS and said that they both at
tributed the sex Of the newborn in
fant to this fact.
Desiring male heir to the duke
dom, the duchess went to Vienna in
1909 and there consulted DR.. Leopold
Schenck, a noted scientist, who is
a World-famous authority on embry-
ology. He is connected With the
University of Vienna and has given
much study to the prenatal determi-
nation Of sex.
DR.. Schenck advised the duchess
and she followed,his instructions. The
principal thing that he told her to do
in order to insure a male child was
20 avoid all food containing sugar.
She did 50, according to the duke,
and bore son.

withstanding overt opposition to the
work of cattle tick eradication in Mis-
sissppi, which has beer demon.
strated in various counties, eithel
by refusal of boards of supervisors
to endorse this important work or by
the blowing up Of dipping vats after
the work has been started, the move
mant in this state towards getting
the entire state on a tick-free basis
has been rapid when compared with
the progress in other states of the
South. Five or six years ago when,
at the agitation of live stock raisers
in Mississippi, cooperating with the
State Department Of Agriculture, the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agri-
cult re took steps toward starting
eradication, the officials found op-
position. Farmers and cattle grow
ers we're inclined to obstruct the
efforts of this systematic work, and
to regard the cooperation of the
veterinarians of the Federal Govern
mcnt with dsfavor. But, with all
these forces working in opposition,
the men at the head of the move
ment continued on with this cam
paign. 1t took more than two years
to clear the first three counties of the
cattle tick incubus, but that was
start, and under the pressure of
things accomplished in this area the
Legislature of 1910 made a more
liberal provision for carrying on the
work statewide; provided for a state
live stock sanitary board, to super
wise tick eradication and suppression
of hog cholera, and held out induce
ments to the Federal Government
bureau to extend its activities still
further.
To-day the work in Mississippi is
declared by the man iE charge to be
on a most satisfactory basis, and
from the fringe of counties on the
north, bordering the Tennessee line,
the dipping of cattle is rapidly grow
ing statewide. According to Prot.
Archibald Smith, of the chair Of
animal industry at the Mississippi
Agriculture and Mechanical College,
and secretary of the Live Stock
Sanitary Board, who was here today
in conference with Chairman Blake
slee, there are now ten counties
which have been officially proclaim
cd free of ticks and the quarantine
restrictions against the expectation
Of cattle raised. 1t is probable that
at the end of the present season the
number of free counties will be in
creased to thirty, with active work
being carried on in forty-two counties
il The state.
The United States Government
has now thirty-Six veterinaries as
signed to the work in Mississippi,
ard there is a demand for more. The
practical result of this campaign is /
shown in the increased price of cattle
by at least s5 head on an average
and the disposition of banks in some
Of the more progressive territory that
is being worked. To-day there are
more cattle being shipped out of
Mississippi, according TO these Of
floials, than from three adjoining
states combined, owing to the re-
moval ofthese quarantine restrictions
as a result of the anti-tick crusade,
which is gathering strength con-
stantly.

are beautiful. Money cannot purchase them, for they are ancestral robes which have been handed down from generation to generation.
 Tn one dance he wears handsome war bonnet made of eagle feathers tipped with colored horse hair and ornamented with beads and porcupine quills. Many beautiful white weasel skins hang down like tails from the side and back of his bonnet and at his side is knife in heavily studded leather sheath. His buckskin trousers are decorated in black with designs symbolic of his tribe.
 In other dances the chief wears his hair in long plaits bound with grass. Several strings of varicolored beads decorate his neck and large circular earrings fall from his ears. Soft eagle feathers are fastened to his head
 When he dances every movement has a meaning that it Is impossible for an outsider to understand. Some times he dances alone. At other times he dances with the other chiefs or in the center of circle formed by chiefs and squaws. At Glacier Nation. al park his entertainment is in great demand and he is often engaged to entertain for an evening.
 He is tall, has a distinguished face and steps gracefully forth, swaying his body to and fro and keeping time with the beating of the tomtoms.
 The costumes worn in these cere- monial and rhythmic folk dances are striking and the war bonnets can be excelled by no tribe. Often the feath- CTS extend from the head in long | tail to the ground. Frequently the faces and bodies of the Indians who take part in the dances are colored.
 Chief Fish Wolf Robe uses at times sacred brown and black paint. In some of the dances of his tribe Fish Wolf Robe and other chiefs car l ry shields, spears and arrows, toma hawks and rattles made of deer and elk hoofs. Every painted figure on their face and bodies and their cos tunes represents some sign or cere
 mony and these are particularly no
 ticeable on the head dancer, Fish Wolf Robe, who Is considered the best per
 former because of his lightness and agility.
 Fish Wolf Robe dances the sacred hymn, the war song and the love and
 night songs. He knows the crane
 song. the swan song. the strange an
 telope dance, the buffalo and the grass
 dance. Queer dances are these. with sinuous and graceful movements and many gyrations.
