Orleans Lumberman Says Outlook
Is Encouraging.

Notwithstanding the fact that feel
ing of optimism pervades the market
in the belief that the lumber business
is slowly but surely expanding, and
that better conditions will prevail dur
ing the next few weeks, peculiar sit.
uation which is puzzling the lumber
men, has developed. This is the rath-
er erratic appearance of prices, which
during the past week have run up and
down the scale in an almost unac-
countable manner. Then again as
yard stocks grow less, the mills are in
creasing the prices on items, when an
other mill may have a full stock of
this call and lower the price. The
last price lists issued show very
varied lot of figures and inquiry shows
the effect Of this situation.
Inquiry has slackened off some
what during the past week and was
not near as brisk as it was earlier in
the month. Demand, however, is re-
ported fair with some business doing.
All the mills are operating. This lat
ter is taken as an indication of the
confidence in the early improvement
of the market.
Belief still obtains that early spring
buying will give good impetus to the
situation and this is expected to set
in as soon as the winter weather be
gins to clear. The railroads are ex
pected to get in the market at an ear
ly date and with the return Of imple-
ment concerns and the reported re
sumption Of several furniture factories
better business is looked for in the
near future. soft
The weather throughout this section
during the past week has been unfa
vorable to the lumber business. Heavy
rains have fallen, followed by cold
weather, with one or two freezes.
AS a whole the situation is salts

There is nothing to indicate that the
night forces Of the J. J. Newman

the shipping business. Just as soor
as the Newman company can ge

In a Shower of
Bullets, Alleged
Burglar Escapes
POLICE FIRE TWELVE TIMES AT
FLEEING NEGRO, ALARMING
WEST PINE STREET.

A running battle with the police, in
which the negro did the running and
the police the battling, furnished
bit of excitement for fashionable West
Pine street last night which kept half
the neighborhood awake till early
morning, and resulted in a general
lookout being issued for the arrest of
Foster Bradford.
At least uozen shots were fred by
the police at the escaping negro who,
after being arrested, managed to break
away from his captors, and, darting
behind two women who were passing
on the street at the time, used them
as involuntary protectors long enough
to make his get away.
The Hattiesburg police are search
ing every section Of the city today for
Bradford. They want him on two
charges, one of them being an old one,
and for resisting officers last night.
A telephone call was received at Po-
lice Headquarters at 1880 o'clock,
stating that several attempts to bur-
glarize residences on West Pine street
had been made earlier in the evening.
Would Chief Bennett please rush some
Of his men to that neighborhood as
quickly as possible, was asked. The
chief said he would, and Patrolmen
McInnis and Rayner were dispatched
with the utmost rapidity.
By this time, that section of West
Pine was out cunning for burglars.
The two policemen saw a strange fig
| ure peering into the window of house
on Railroad avenue. In half minute
the figure was covered by couple of
ugly looking six-shooters in the hands
of the police.
Emerging from the darkness at the
request of the policemen, the negro
said his name was Foster Bradford,
and he didn't know exactly what he
was doing in the yard where he was
arrested. The bluecoats felt that Fos-
ter was the man who had been causing
so much trouble earlier in the night,
and so they arrested him. They then
remembered that Foster had escaped
from them once before while a fine
was hanging over him.
They started to Police Headquarters
with him, and not protest was lodged
by the prisoner. The officers had nc
handcuffs, and as the negro apparently
did not object to going along with
them, they did not keep a hold on him
as is generally the custom in sucn
cases.
Two women we're met at this point
and before the policemen realized what
had transpired, Foster darted forward
and behind the women. The officers
drew their pistols, but were unable to
fire, for fear Of striking the women
The fleeing man managed to keep the
women between the officers and him
self until the home of D. e. McInnis
was reached, when he darted through
the yard and fed to the yard of A. X
McInnis. He passed through the real
yard at this place, and was lost.
continuous stream of bullets followed
the man, and soon that entire sectior
was on the street to take part in the
excitement.
Foster made good his escape
Whether he was struck, the officers de
not know.

nothing better than a hawthorn bush
for brushing in small seeds.
Some soils and localities favor fall
and some spring seeding
On high or rolling land where good
surface drainage is to be found,
prefer September for seeding.
On land where there is any doubt
as to the condition of the drainage
system prefer preparing the soil late
in the fall and seeding as early in
the spring as the soil will do to stir.
If fall sowing is best you get the
start of all weeds that come up be-
fore frost; the more the better, as
frost kills them down and they make
a fine mulch for the young alfalfa
plants during winter.
II spring sowing is best in your
locality, you will have to contend with
more weeds; but do not clip the first
season, as the young plants need all
the nourishment they can get from
the air, and this they get through
their leaves which are their lungs.
Some will say: ooh, the weeds
will take it," Sow enough seed to
take the weeds.
The proper time for cutting is after
the first blossoms appear. If ii
stands longer the stalks become hard
and many of the leaves are lost in the
handling.
If the sun is shining and drying
wind blows, cut in the forenoon and
rake into windows in the afternoon

stand till the dew goes off the follow

During rainy weather caps for the
cocks are very good and will pay for

Alfalfa does best without a nurse

Sow only the best, new, recleaned
seed.

acre.
If there is only half a stand, disk

you learn how.
