START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Two Big Advantages over Any other
Branch Of stock Ralslns-Much
Less Labor Required.

Poultry keeping has two chief ad-
vantages over any other branch or
line of stock raising. In the first
place much less time Is required in
getting an income started from the
establishment of poultry plant. and
next, less space is required for raising
poultry as compared with the amount
Of land used IN rearing other animals.
After one years time small income
has started from poultry while Il rails.
ing any other stock it would take two
or three years to make the start.
Another thing. fowls do not require
an extensive run, but can be placed In
a limited space and give good results,
although the pens should be kept very
clean under this condition. In keep
ing poultry under these conditions IT
also requires less labor On the part Of
the poultry keeper. There are lots OF
farms that could keep q few fowls in
this manner and do Il successfully.
too, but still they don't think 30. IN
case they should have surplus either
in eggs or in poultry, there are always
some neighbors who are glad u get
the chance to buy them.

THAN ONE GALLON
JULIUS HUMPHREYS FINED 500
FOR HAVING TOO MUCH
WHiSKEY IN HIS GRIP.

The laws of Mississippi which stipu-
late that not more than one gallon of
whiskey can be received by freight or
express by an individual during any
one day, also make it illegal for a
person to transport into the state more
than one gallon of alcoholic beverages
at one time.
This is the ruling of Mayor Batson,
who assessed a 500 fine against Ju-
lius Humphries, a negro, in Police
Court this morning, when he was con-
victed of having in his possession two
gallons of whiskey
Humphries testified that he met a
Northeastern passenger train during
Mardi Gfas. and received from Sam
Powell aagrip. While carrying this
grip toaa carriage. he was arrested
When it was opened, two gallons of
whiskey were found in his possession.
Powell was to have been tried this
morning, but his chief witness, who
lives Is miles from Collins, reported
sick. One of the city's witnesses also
was absent Mayor Batson fixed next
Tuesday as the day upon which the
case will be tried.
