All Collins Eating
Turtle Soup Since
DOrSeyMdde dHauI
TOWNS MOST FAMOUS FISHER.
MAN GOES OUT AND LANDS
ONE WEIGHING s1ls LBS.

Special 10 The NeaOS.
Collins, Miss, May S.-Collins is
now in the throes OF a turtle soup-eat-
ing epidemic
Bob Dorsey is the man who started
the disease. and before the last of
Bob's S11s-pound turtle is converted
into steaming soup, chowder, or bouil-
lon, the populace of the town will turn
sick at the sight of even terrapin.
Dorsey went down on the Okatoma
river, after perch. He tossed his hook
and line into the stream, and leaned
back against a tree to rest himself
and wait for action. In about the hun.
dredth part of second he got it.
There came tug-tugging at his line,
and he made flying leap for the pole.
He pulled and he pulled, and he swore
that he had shark on the other end.
The animal acted like a whale, any
way, Bob said Finally he brought it
near to land, and saw that it was a
turtle. Bob had carried with him his
.32 Winchester, and took one shot at
the turtle, tearing off its head
He carried the turtle to Collins,
weighed it, and found that it weighed
S1lA pounds. He cut it up into chunks
y.
and distributed it to the populace.
They have been eating turtle in va
rious forms ever since.

Washington, D. C., May 81
The Berlin announcement that new
and definite instructions were to
be given the German submarine
commanders, is the first positive
indication as to how Germany will
attempt to meet President Wilson's
final demand for the abandonment
of her present methods Of spbma-
rine warfare.
Persons close to the President
say that he is ssllI mistaken in
his determination that the issue is
not negotiable.
That settlement cannot be de-
layed by discussing side issues
with a declaration from Germany
that orders given in line with the
United States demands, and evi.
dence that they be carried out, is
the belief here.
There has been no report from
Gerard since last Friday
London, May s.-The Amster-
dam correspondent OF the Ex,
change Telegraph Company says
that trouble was reported from
Berlin and elsewhere in Germany
on May Day. Vast crowds, com.
posed largely Of women Of the lab
oring classes, clamcred for peace
The police charged on the crowds
dispensing them. Many were ar
rested.

The story of what prompted l.. B.
Holland, Hattiesburg business man., to
walk into the Acme Cafe Sunday
morning, direct Selma R.. McCrory,
day manager, to defend himself" or
"throw up his hands, and then empty
the contents OF a .SS-caliber Colts into
the mans body, will not be told until
Holland takes the witness stand in
his own behalf.
The date for the trial has been
fixed for May 15. 1t is more than
likely that 1t will come up for disposi-
tion at that time. John R. Tally, of
Tally & Mayson, said today that his
firm was doing everything possible to
have the defense's plans arranged for
the opening case on the scheduled
date. District Attorney Hall, who will
have charge of the prosecution, says
that he sees no reason why the case
should not be taken up on the date
fixed by Judge Johnson.
Efforts OF The News to obtain some
kind of statement from Holland, now
in the county jail, failed today. His
attorneys explained why they thought
it was for the best interests of the
county to refrain from making public
any more of the testimony.
Tally's Statement.
John r. Tally. Of Tally & Mayson,
had this to say:
"Our experience mas Deen that most
jurors who disqualify from jury sery-
ice in capital cases disqualify on ac-
count Of having read details Of what
the evidence would be in the news
paper and usually disqualify on ac-
count Of having fixed opinions formed
from that information, which makes
it very difficult often to procure jury
to try case, which is done at great
expense to the taxpayers OF the coun-
ty; and for that reason we feel that
we ought not to make any statement
as to what our evidence will be until
the trial, as we wish to avoid placing
upon the taxpayers Of this county un-
necessary expenses in procuring jury
in this case or any case that we rep
resent. We will say however, that
our client has a defense which will be
made at the trial; and we ask the pub
lie. not to prejudge our clients case
until they have heard all the facts
sAs TO the question of bond, we have
not as yet made any application for
bond, but as to what we will do in the
future with reference thereto is mat
Ter we do not express ourselves about
= at this time
ewe will say that we have never
considered at all the taking ont OF
habeas corpus proceedings; that the
matter is in the hands Of the Circuit
Court and we are perfectly willing for
our clients rights to be passed upon
there"

DO THIS FlRST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even severe cold, a relapse
IS feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body-oniy food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, biood-mzkhg oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul
sion afscrsickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

Assistant Secretary Vrooman Declare

Farmers who take the advice OF Carl

United States department OF agricuf-
ture, will test every ear OF corn this
year before they plant it. The SEED
corn situation Mr.. Vrooman says. ~
probably more serious now than IT has

early part Of last October. very little
corn, especially in the northern hall
OF the corn belt, ripened naturally ana
at the time Of the first hard frosts
much of It still contained large
amount Of moisture.
Testing seed corn Is always . wise

this year it is q necessary one.-Evefy

by the individual ear test. No matter
