Presence Of Secret Service Msa % csast Lead.
to Belief They Are.
Frequent visits OF government secret
service men to the towns Of tho Missis-
sippi Gulf Coast leads to the belief that
parties at some of these points may be
implicated in the recent nlibustering
expeditions unearthed in New Orleans
and along the Texas coast
While nothing hsas b ,.ysn-sut b.
the secret service men, it is known that
a close watch has been kept on the
Mississippi Coast, and number OF vis-
its have been made to Biloxi, Gulfport,
Bay ST. Louis and Pascagoula by de-
tectives believed to be in government
employ.
Arms and ammunition to the value Of
$500, 1000 were recently located near New
Orleans, and this fact, taken In con-
junction with the frequent visits of Sc
cret service men, leads to the belief that
certain parties here may be interested
in the smuggling operations. or. at least,
that the government men believe they
may have knowledge Of such ope rations.

DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER,

gaze from my window, out the night;
From starry frame the summer moon shone bright
A hoot-owl call breaks the stiffness;
A mufled sound the night was MINDLESS.
Bloom in yonder garden roses white and red.
There lilies shoot up from their Natures bed;
There are the paths covered in green,
Trodden no more by the "Garden Queen

Chrysanthemums forming white hedges.
Violets, with upturned faces blue,
Bathed in diamond shining dew

Butter nodding their heads of pink,
Clover leaves and blossoms around them link;
Poppies, all colors, the rainbow could tell
Glistening and swinging, each like a bell
Four o'clocks tinged in purple deep,
Bow their heads in peaceful sleep.
With happy faces of dark brown,
Sunflowers rise high from the ground.
Honeysuckles climb Ger the gate archway,
Close on the fence yellow essamine lay

Near her favorite flower, the marshal neil rose.

L
ssPeople are the wealth of the world
after all, and no substitute can make a
section prosperous, declared Bishop
John e. Gum of the diocese of Natchez
who is the guest OF Father SpengleI
and Father Caisse in Biloxi Thursday.
"What South Mississippi needs are
more people to colonize the rich cut
over lands that can be converted into
richly producing truck gardens and
fruit FARMS"
Bishop Gum reached Biloxi this
morning and win leave this afternoon
for Pascagoula. His trip here is purely
business one, and he win not conduct
any service during his stay.
Bishop Gum is an ardent advocate OF
colonization for the southern lands. A
prosperous farming class means wealth
for the country, he believes, and conse-
quently he regrets the floods which
threaten to interfere with the work OF
colonization and farm development.
MAY DELAY WORK, BUT CANNOT STOP IT.
"While the floods may delay the work
of colonization, they cannot stop il"
said Bishop Gum. sour section has
every advantage to offer prospective
settlers. It has the climate, the soil,
and everything that 10 to be desired. 1t
would in the end repay the owners OF
large tracts Of land to give it away just
for the increase in taxable values and
the increased tonnage for their rail-
roads that would follow the settlement
of the land by sturdy army class"
Bishop Gum was greatly interested
to learn that large tract OF fertile land
was being cut into small farms, fruit
and pecan orchards to be sold to farm :
ers. This tract is situated near Biloxi.
He thought this was step in exactly
the right direction. Of course, the
floods do not affect this part of the
State, and there is no reason why the
good work should not go on.
COMPARISON WITH PORTO RICO.
Bishop Gum recently made trip to
Porto Rico, and he found much on the
little island that was of interest as a
subject for study. Every inch OF it is
under cultivation. Intensive farming
| is practiced, and prosperity has been
wrested from the soil on an island far
removed from the worlds markets. 1t
has only $500 square miles of territory,
] but this is settled with $40 people to
| the square mile. Farming country that
will support 80 people to the square
mile has to be fertile and productive.
The people are industrious, intelligent
land God-fearing.
"Why should not Mississippi, with it's
46, 900 square miles of territory, be cul-
tivated as largely and have popula-
ton in proportion?" asked the Bishop.
mississippi is near the markets. 1t
has the soil and the climate, and it is
only matter of going after the peo-
pie. The coast aims to be sort of Ri
viera for the New Orleans people
There is no reason why the farmers and
truckers of the coast territory should
not also plan to furnish the vegetables
and foodstuffs required by New Or
leans"

WILSON ANTITRUST
BILLS ARE PASSED
President-Elect's Pet Meas
ures Pass New Jersey
Senate

Trenton, y. j. February 1s.-Gover-
nor Wilson's seven antitrust bills
passed the senate today, all of the bills
received at least 1 A votes, those OF the
IL democrats and of two republican
senator's, Nichols and White.
Only three of the bills were serious
ly opposed, the others going through
practically unanimously. The three bills
opposed were the main bill which de-
fines trusts, prohibits acts calculated to
create monopoly and makes viola
ton of the provisions of the bin a mis-
demeanor; the bill to prohibit the form
alton of holding companies and pro-
hibiting existing corporations from ae-
quiring additional stock of other cor
porations except in certain stipulated
instances, and the bill prohibiting
merged companies from acquiring stock
of other corporations.
No serious opposition to the bills in
the house is anticipated and they are
expected to pass that body next week.
The debate in the senate today on
the bills lasted from the opening OF
the session until 4 o'clock in the aft
ernoon to which hour the senate sat
continuously. The debate was largely
one of contention upon the part of the
democrats that the bills were necessary
TO effectively prevent monopoly and
curb big trusts that hold New Jersey
charters while the republicans claimed
the bills were too drastic, that they
would not accomplish their purpose so
far as the big corporations We're con-
eerned and those who would really suf-
fer were the small traders of the state.

FUEL AGENTS LOOK
OVER COAL MARKET

To acquire Information as to the price
of coal and perhaps to outline some de-
tails for future coal orders several well
known fuel agents were here yester-
day The visitors included Il. d. Levy
assistant general manager of the Frisco
lines, Eugene McCauly, fuel agent for
the Frisco lines. w. J. Kelleher. for
the New Orleans and Northeastern and
A. ID. QuiclSel for the Alabama Great
Southern railroad. The fuel agents were
callers to the offices of several coal
companies. No orders were placed
yesterday. It is understood that the re-
cent advance in wages to be paid coal
miners was also one reason for the visit
of the railroad men.
The coal market here is said to be
the best that has prevailed in some
time. The coal mines are badly ham
dicapped by the lack of cars and the
orders that are on hand in somo in
stances are being delayed.

CH|LD'S HOSPITAL TO
GET $500 PER YEAR
Commissioners Agree to Do
nate Funds to Holy
Inn0cents

In conference yesterday afternoon it
was tentatively agreed by the city COM
missioners to donate to the Holy In
pocents hospital $500 per year. The au-
thorities, headed by Mrs. Crawford john
son. president, requested 1920 per year.
The commissioners however win give the
smaller sum until such time as the
finances of the city will warrant an in
crease in that appropriation.
1t was announced after the executive
meeting, the action at which will be con-
frmed at the meeting this afternoon,
that absolutely no disposition was en-
tertained by the commissioners to refuse
the request. 1t was added that only the
crippled financial condition OF the city
caused the officials to cut the requested
sum in half and make 1t only 5000 per
year. The commissioners said after the
session that the kndest feelings were
entertained for the work being performed
at the hospital, only regretting the in
ability of the commissioners to give the
amount requested.
The action of the commissioners will
be confirmed this afternoon at the reg
ular session.

.SUMTER'S TICKS
ASORE SUBJECT
Livingston Man Says Citi-
zens Are Serious
WHAT FIGHT MEANS
Says They Think They Can Solve
Their own Problems and Resent
the Interference of
Outsiders
To the Editor of The Age-HeraId.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Aour uasi-humorous articles during
this week on the tick question in SUM
ter county are amusing--we admit that.
but we desire to state that they are
only amusing the other fellow.
Several years ago at the university
the sophomores used to facetiously
remark to the freshmen in regard to
hazing: This is as serious as h. "
1t proved to be for the sophomores.
This illustrates just how serious it
Is to some OF us. Cattle ticks and pol
itics have been so mixed up for the
last four years that nobody outside
of Sumter county understands the sit
uation and very few of those inside
do. Some of the esteemed gentlemen
who have let their views escape in your
city know as little about it as a Sum-
ter county farmer knows about JEFF
ferson county politics. Frankly, both
sides are serious. bitter and, strange
to say, right.
The federal authorities experimental
on our county. They forced the people
to grease all their cattle with Beau
mont oil for year. This was slow
expensive and injurious to cattle. A
great many people got mad then and
have been getting madder ever since
The next unpopular move was making
the people keep their cattle on their
own land during the winter months
This made still more people mad; and
then came the politicians and they
raised the d. A board of county
commissioners were elected who
pledged themselves TO do away with
tick eradication and they did it last
Monday at their first official meet
ing.
While all this was going on great
many cattle owners were dipping their
cattle, making them fatter slicker and
healthier. They freed their farms OF
ticks and forced their neighbors to do
the same. They brought in registered
bulls that had never seen q tick and
now they have herds of fine young
cattle that have never had a tick on
them. Should any of these fine cattle
become ticky they will die.
To the farmer who is worth $4,000
and has $500 tied up in cattle, this
is a serious matter. 1t is also seri-
Gus to the man who is worth $4,000
and has $4,000 tied up in cattle.
In spite of the act of the commits
sloners' court in disseminating the APP
preparation for tick eradication the tick
men believe that a majority of the peo-
pie are in favor of the work. They be-
Heve that enough men have changed
from the opposition to make them a
majority. These people feel that some
provision ought to be made by the state
or federal government to help them.
ANA they are right The commissioners
NrsTe right in carrying out their pledges
and now the problem is for some COM
promise to be settled on that line, at
least quiet the county long enough for
US TO make a crop.
However, we feel that advice by out
siders should be withheld until asked
for. E-Radically Yours,
]. B. ENNIS.

The commissioners were requested to
meet and take up the proposition, but
