THE SHEEP INDUSTRY OF
TENNESSEE.
By Capt T. F. Peck, Commission
Of Agriculture.

By Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner
of Agriculture.
The sheep industry of Tennessee
could be made one of the most profit
able branches of livestock husbandry
in this State. The entire state is well
adapted to this industry and espe-
cially are the Middle and Eastern
sections.
AS is we'll known, one of the chief
reasons the industry is not more
furnishing in Tennessee IS the pres
ence of the cur dog. Great benefit
would accrue to the farmers Of the
State If we had more drastic laws
for the elimination Of this menace
to the sheep industry. Even the law
we have on the book Crequiring the
registration, with a SO fee of female
dogs) would be of great benefit ii
rigidly enforced, as it would result
in the destruction of many of these,
and a consequent beneficial decrease
In the number of sheep-killing dogs.
However, In a state like ours, sheep
may be profitably raised regardless Of
this enemy. Extra precaution to
guard the flock from dogs, though
somewhat increasing the cost of keep,
will repay the farmer, providing the
flock has been properly managed 9th
erwise.
Much of the quilted land and waste
hillsides of this state could be prof1ta-
bly, used In the production of sheep.
This has been proven to the satisfac-
ton of some of the most prominent
farmers of the state. Much of the
land which now grows only weeds
could be restored to profitable tillage
by the use Of sheep.
The farmer who Is willing to give
to sheep the same amount of intel
llgent care that he gives to other live
stock will find them not only profta-
BILE, but good improvers, bringing
into cultivation large areas Of other
wise waste land.
The Federal census shows remarka-
BILE fluctuations in the sheep industry
in Tennessee. In 1850, the census
showed S11,591 sheep In Tennessee.
The figures in 1860 were .773,917. In
1870 there was shown an increase to
S26.7S9, On down to 1900. there was
a continual decrease, as follows For
1890 672,7S9, 1890, 54O996, 1900,
307,S04
According to the last census. 1910,
there were in the state 795.093 sheep,
valued at S90O9.19 or s97S per
head. Less than one-eighth Of the en-
tire number Of farms in the state re-
ported sheep, 50 that It may be seen
at glance what the industry could
he made to do for Tennessee. ~ all
the farms had This as branch Of
live stock industry.
This industry Is more extensive IN
Middle Tennessee. as shown by the
figures for tho following eleven roun-
toe in thot grand d;vicion.

At the meeting of the Gulf Coast
Teachers Association in Gulfport, on
the 18th of February, it was decided
to hold school athletic meet in Gulf
port On the second Saturday in April.
This event is open to all public schools
along the coast through Mississippi.
The program has not yet been adver-
tised, but will be within a short time.
Suffice it at present to know that these
exercises will consist of dashes, relay
races, running high jump, pole vault
ing, basket ball, etc. The sentiment
expressed at the meeting indicated
that general participation by the
schools of the coast would be had. We
confidently expect the boys and girls
of the Bay ST. Louis High School to
acquit themselves with credit in the
several events upon the program. The
gatherings can be productive of the
most wholesome effect. Besides other
benefits that might be derived may be
mentioned the increase in local pride
and in the school spirit engendered. AS
the occasion rolls around it would be
well for interested citizens and patrons
to plan to accompany the school repre-
sentatives. But more anon along this
line.

BAY ST. LOUIS is PROVING A LEADER.
Citizens Give Contract for Sea Wall to Gulf
port Firm-Will Solve Problem of
Beach Protection.

Under the above caption the Biloxi
Daily Herald "wednesday tells of the
giving out of contract for building of
sea wall in this city. The Herald is
evidently friendly toward Bay st. Louis
and gives this city due credit. The
giving of this contract is quite an ad-
vertisement and should rebound to our
benefit.
The Daily Herald says:
'sNews from Bay st. Louis is to the
effect that contract has been let for a
sample sea wall 1900 feet long. The
wall win be made of concrete piling in
terlocked, and it is believed that this
will prove the solution of the problem
of protecting the beach from storms.
"Details were worked out at big
meeting at the city hall in Bay St.
Louis last night. The contract was let
to the firm of Favre & Francis, of Gulf
port.
ebay st. Louis has proved itself
leader in taking steps to solve the ques-
tion of protecting the front beach and
the shell drive from storms, The little
city at the west end of the coast is
live one and is reported to have con-
siderable number of winter visitors this
year."

POSTMASTER ASKS FOR EXTRA CLERK.
Says Eight Hour Law VIII Cripple Service
Unless Additional Help is Given.

Gulfport, Feb. 81. - Postmaster
Wadlow has notified the postoffice
department that there will be a de-
ficiency in the local service when the
new eight hour law goes into effect on
March fourth and that one more clerk
will be necessary here unless some of
the force should be allowed to work
overtime. Under the new regulations
postof1ce employees must not work more
than eight hours per day and the eight
hours service must be performed within
ten hours.
The law refers to all postoffice en-
ployes except the postmaster, who is
permitted to put in all the time he
wishes every day, and who is in fact
never off the job.
In reply to Mr.. Wadlow's letter he
was informed that the men must not
work overtime except in case of rare,
urgent necessity, but that his request
for an additional clerk would be consid-
cred. Should the requisition be grant
ed, it is expected carrier No. 1, H. M.
Sizer, will be promoted to a clerkship
and V. b. Livermore will be transferred
to Sizer's route, while substitute carrier
w. S. Boyer, will be put on Livermore's
route, No. 2.

The heartfelt sympathy of the entire
county goes out to the family of the late
Charles Campbell in the tragic death of
the beautiful and accomplished daugh-
ter, whose life was extinguished on the
very threshold of womanhood on Sun
day last. Miss Edith Campbell, edu-
Gated and fortified with the training of
a Christian home, was we'll qualified for
this worlds battles, and already she
was on life's highway battling for the
stern exactions of the daily existence,
when her spirit was called home by an
all-wise Providence, whose ways are in
scrutable. Although her ife's work
was not finished, the lesson of her young
life is found in the knowledge that she
had started well, and thus her WORK at
the very beginning was half done.

NIECE OF DAVIS LAST OF FAMILY.
Mrs. Ellen Anderson Furnished Much of
Historical Data Concerning
confederacy.

The late Mrs. Ellen NJ. Anderson OF
New Orleans, whose funeral and inter-
ment took place at Jackson on Wednes-
day, was niece of the late Jefferson
Davis, a great favorite of the chieftain
of the Confederacy and the last member
of that branch of the family.
Mrs. Anderson was also niece OF the
late associate Justice S. S. Calhoon of
the Mississippi Supreme Court, who
presided over the convention in 1890
that paved the way for other Southern
states to eliminate the negro from
political affairs.
Mrs. Anderson had reached the
advanced age of 80 years and was in
full possession of her vigorous mental
faculties to the last. Her mind was a
veritable storehouse of historical events
concerning the ante bellum South, and
the Civil War period. During the last
days of Jefferson Davis at Beauvoir,
she spent much of her time in the house
hold or the VlcarlOuS Suuerer or the
Lost Cause and much of the historical
data that has been written concerning
Mr.. Davis was CLEANED from her.
The death of Mrs. Anderson occurred
at the home of her relative, Mrs. Lucy
Roberts, in New Orleans. The body
was brought here Sunday and carried to
the home of Mrs. S. S. Calhoon, on
North State street, where funeral
services were. conducted by Rev. William
Green, rector of ST. Andrews Episcopal
church. The interment was at Green
wood cemetery, by the side of her
husband, who passed away many years
ago.

The moral effect the mere contracting
by the city for the sea wall on Tues
day night Will have for the immediate
future of Bay St. Louis cannot be over
estimated. Chairman Cazeneuve and
his board have worked faithfully and
carefully, and the result of their long
and arduous labors will soon begin to
bear fruit. Out of state of chaos and
against odds and hindrances they have
evolved a state of things that is in
deed commendable, and the citizens of
Bay ST. Louis will owe much to the
body of five men who are giving their
time and attention pro bono publico.
Fortunately, and it is well in an intel
ligent community, that the shafts of
undue criticism count for little and
have resulted in naught. The letting
out of the bid for the first work of
sea wall construction will indeed have
a salutary effect, and the good to follow
will be of inestimable value to Bay St.
Louis and its residents, whether they
live on the beach front, side streets or
back streets, even if they live on the
outside lines of the corporation.

Thousands of people from all parts Of
the State of Mississippi gathered at
Jackson Thursday night to unite in
wishing. Godspeed to Senator-elect Jas.
K. Vardaman upon the eve OF his de-
parture for Washington to take his seat
in the United States Senate. Such
demonstration within the gates of the
capital city was never witnessed before.
1t was not a local, but strictly State
wide affair. A monster torchlight pa
rade "was witnessed by one of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic crowds that
ever assembled on the streets of jack
son; the streets along the line of march
were packed with thousands of people,"
to quote the daily press. AT the Gen.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

Under acontract with firm of tomato
shippers of Crystal Springs, the
farmers of Pineville, Harrison county,
will plant 100 acres in tomatoes this
spring.
The contract also provides for the
prevailing market price and the toma-
toes will be paid for by the contracting
firm when they are delivered at Pass
Christian. This big tomato crop will
be planted early that the growers may
get the best possible prices.
The lands at Pineville are high and
rolling and are said to be we'll adapted
to the tomato, and if the venture sue
ceeds this spring these farmers will plant
more largely another year. The expert
ment is being tried by the younger far
ming element in the Pineville section
who will cultivate the crop themselves.
Mr.. j. H. Lang, of Pass Christian, who
owns large tracts of land where these
tomatoes will be planted is said to have
engineered the deal betwenn this firm
of tomato shippers at Crystal Springs
and the farmers at Pineville.
