rain NEEDED ALL
over The STATE
DELTA ALONE ESCAPES DRoUGTH
LONG DRY SPELL SERIOUSLY
DAMAGES CROPS.

All sections of Mississippi, with the
exception of few counties in the del
ia, are badly in need of rain, and both
the cotton and corn crops are suffering
very much on this account.
In some communities the long dry
spell has assumed the proportions of
drought, which is very unusual for
Mississippi at this period of the year.
At Crystal Springs, one of the prin-
cipal truck farming communities of
the state, there has been no rainfall
for twenty-eight days, and the lack
of moisture has retarded vegetation of
all kinds, making the vegetable crops
so late that the truckers fear they will
be unable to get the usual prices for
their large tomato yield.
Until few days ago the tempera
ture ranged below normal over good
portion of the state. This caused some
damage, especially to cotton, which
was taking on a lousy appearance
However, higher temperatures now
prevail, and the farmers will regard
a good, general rainfall as veritable
Godsend.
A good portion of the delta has es
capped these conditions, there having
been sufficient rainfall to keep the
crops growing. Cotton is up to good
stands; has been thoroughly cleaned
out; and the prospect is very encour
aging. ...---. .s44.-

Armed Guards A t
All Dipping Vats
In Jones County
AUTHORITIES CLAIM THEY HAVE
STRONG ciRcuMsTANTIAL

Special to The NepS.

Special to The Netos.
Laurel, Miss, May 25. - Armed
guards are now stationed at the vari-
Gus dipping watts in Jones county to
prevent repetition - the dynamiting
outrages of the past three weeks.
The board of supervisors has shown
a determination to protect the dipping
watts at all hazards, and it is stated
that instructions have been given to
the guards to shoot without warning
when suspicious persons appear in the
vicinity of dipping vats after nightfall.
The charge has been publicly made
that Socialism is chiefly responsible
for the dynamiting of the dipping watts,
and that certain Socialist leaders took
an active part in the outrages. This
has been vehemently denied by the
Union Socialist local at Laurel, but
nevertheless, the authorities claim
that they have strong circumstantial
evidence, and expect to have some
very convincing testimony for presen-
tation to the next grand jury session.

PATH ACROSS STATE.

The first good rain in many weeks
passed over Hattiesburg and a portion
of Forrest county today. 1t had been

who were in the inundated district
whose crops had been badly damaged
by the long drought, were gratified
when they heard the big drops patter-

The rain began falling here about
12:45 o'clock this afternoon and lasted
little more than one hour. During
that time the rainfall amounted to
1.24 inches, according to T. G. Spence,
local observer for the United States
,, Department of Agriculture. The last
rain that fell here was on May 10th

that fell today.

FOUR ACRES OF LAND
Hattiesburg Still Remains Largest
City In State.

The city commission has passed an
order ceding to Forrest county strip
twenty-five feet wide off the west side
of Southwest quarter section s and
west side section II, to be used for a
public highway from Hardy street to
Columbia Road. The cutting off of
this strip contracts the corporate lim-
its of Hattiesburg to the extent Of
about four acres of surface area. This,
however, still leaves 1856 acres for
its ever increasing population. The
federal census bureau computes the
present area at 1850 acres.
