COATING OF CONCRETE.

CIarksdale, Miss, Aug. l.
Plans to cover the leveeS at
Friar'S Point and Star landing
with a heavy sheet of concrete
have been made by Major T. G.
Dabney, engineer in. charge of
the Upper Yazoo levee district.
Belief is expressed that the
concrete will prevent a washing
of the levee and keep the current
from caving under the base.
ReyetmentS also will be built
at these points, the government
to give all possible aid. 1t is eS-
tlmated that the work will cost
close to 100000.
Major Dabney, according to his
report, has recommended that the
IeveeS in his district be enlarged
to stand a greater flood than that
of 1913. This he figures will cost
over 100000.
Government engineers report
work on all levee contracts being
well advanced. In some places
the work is entirely finished. Big
gaps opened at various points to
let back water through into the
river have been closed

GOOD REASON FOR HIS ENTHU-
SIASM.

When a man has suffered for several
days with collie, diarrhoea or other
form of bowel complaint and is then
cured sound and well by one or two
doses of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the
case, it is but natural that he sould be
enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy,
and especially is this the case of a
severe attack when life is threatened.
Try it when in need of such a remedy.

ROCKLAND LIME KILNS BURNED.

R oCKLAND, Me-, October II. Fire
which started about 2 A. M. this morning
destroyed nine lime kilns, three sheds
nd 1000 feet of valuable railroad trestle
in the manufacturing section of this city
causing a loss of about SIS, 900. The fire
was of incendiary origin.
The fire started in the lime kiln of A.
C. Day & Co. and when discovered by
the Rockland & Rockport Co. g lime kilns
nearby, it was all ablaze. The two lime
kilns of Day & Co. and their upoccupied
sheds were completely destroyed.
The fire spread to the lime kilns of the
Rockland & Rockport Co. and destroyed
seven Of them and two immense sheds.
In the sheds were so, 600 barrels of lime
ready for shipment and 10000 empty
casks, also 1000 cords of wood, the prop
erty of Thorndike & Hix.

port Co. was covered by blanket policy.
A. c. Day & Co. suffered loss of $4,000.
They carried $500 insurance.
The fire was one of the worst Rock
land has experienced for some time and
but for the severe rains of the past few
days it is beliyed that the whole Of
Crockett's Point would have been wiped
out.

There has never been any question but
that if the officers of the law did their
duty ard were sustained by the courts
the prohibitory aw could be as well en-

is now demonstrating that prohibition
can and does prohibit The Independ-
ent-Reporter says:
At the present tine there is probably
no equal area with less violation of the
LIQUOR law than Somerset county. Of
course, public sentiment has had some
thing to do with this. There has also
been genuine, whole-hearted support by
Judges and county officials, but the man
who has really cone, so admirably, this
very difficult stunt is Sheriff Frank
Thompson.
You will note that the sheriff has had
the "genuine whole hearted support" of
judges and county officials. Without
that he would have labored in vain. AS
it is the wouldbe vendors of intoxicants
have thrown up their hands and gone out
of business. Of this situation the indie
pendent Reporter says: 'The result is
highly gratifying. A growing respect
for all forms of law, few cases of intoxi-
cation, and last but possibly least, though
not important, lessening cost to the
county for enforcement. Certainly not
the least valuable result of enforce
ment in Somerset county is the grow
ing respect for all forms Of laws" In
other counties where the prohibitory law
has not been enforced the reverse is true.

detained At Ellis Island, New York,
since last Saturday by the immigration
authorities and ordered deported as an
undesirable alien, was released Monday
on be- own recognizance and without
bond, by order of President Wilson. Mrs
Psnkhurstis a criminal in the eyes of the
law and the immigration authorities
were only doing their duty in ordering
her deportation. She is now free to
make her lecture tour, and on her return
to England to devote the money thus
gained to burning churches and private
residence, breaking windows, etc.

not it does not seem that any sane per-
son could sanction the methods of Mrs.
