Gently resulted in the killing of
nine negroes, the wounding of
several whites and the burning
of four negro lodge buildings.
The trouble grew out of the
murder of ]. Villipigue, white
plantation overseer, by negroes
grandson Goolsby and his sons,
Mike and Ulysses. The killing
of the white man is said to have
been caused by a beating which
he gave to one of the young
Goolsbys.
Immediately mobs and posses
started in pursuit of the .slayers
and are said to have killed nine
negroes in the conflict which
followed. In retaliation the
blacks wounded a number of
white men.
Reports that a negro secret Or
ganization had delegated Gools-
bys and his sons to kill VilIipigue
caused the burning of four ne
gro lodges. The elder Goolsby
was known as one of the leading
spirits in negro Ma,on and ne
gro Odd Fellows lodge in that
section and also as member of
several negro organizations.

Paper Made Of Grass.

AS a means of conserving the
forests in this country, the De-
partment of Agriculture is ex-
experimenting with wire grass
as source of supply for pulp
for making paper instead of wood
pulp. Wire grass, as it is COM
monty known in the West, grows
on the Pacific slope and in West
ern Mexico. 1t forms a dense
mat of roots and yields in fertile
soils sometimes as high as three
tons of grass. 1t is fbrous and
tough and can be reduced by the
soda process. The use of the
''hog," by which wood is re-
duced to pulp, is entirely done
away with.
The paper manufactured from
the stock has proven as salts

Broken Hearts Mended.

Broken hearts are now being

In Mexico climatic conditions,
utter failure to give attention to
sanitary matters, and the rava-

the prevalence of typhus fever.
In the United States the open
winter, exposing decaying vege-

be the principal contributing
cause of influenza. Mexico is

The gramophone is sometimes
put to strange uses. The leader
of an African hunting expedi-

from the Cape to Cairo, recently
used it as a decoy for tigers and

it is usual to tether a lamb to a
tree; its bleatings attract the til

Before leaving England the ex-
