The Okolona Chapter

The Okolona Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
met with Mrs. Bette Poore, Fri
day afternoon, Dec. l.
The meeting opened with a
very suitable prayer by Aunt
Laura" The new officers for
the following year took their
places and we heard good reports
from the retiring officers. Our
former presidet, Mrs. Walter
Smith, reported $38 collected by
a committee from the Okolona
people to send to Beauvoir to
help make it large enough for
all the old.soldiers and their wild
ows. A vote was taken and car
ried to let Mrs. Smith finish this
work as she had started it.
An offer was made giving any
woman free trip to Washing
ton (where the Northern soldiers
have invited the Southern to
meet with them who would get
a club of ten to make the trip.
Mrs. Dottery is to try for it.
After the lesson and much
discussion, Mrs. Dottery gave a
beautiful reading by MISSISSIPPI
plan, Emmit L. Rose, Sock that
Baby Wore. There was not a
person in the house whose heart
was not touched by this beauti-
full poem.
The meeting closed by a pray
er, and every one pronounced it
one of the most enjoyable meet
ings of the season.

INF ROvEMENT ARE.
PLANNED BY CITY At
PUMPING STATION
A HOUSE, FACING RAILROAD
STREET, WILL PROBABLY BE
MOVED TO GUILLEMARDE,
AND GROUNDS BEAUTFIED.

Mayor Greenhut announced plans
for making the property adjacent to
the water plant more inviting than
heretofore, yesterday, and as soon as
the contractor gets the pumping sta
tion house complete and turns the
finished building over to the city, and
it is accepted, the plans which the
mayor and commissioners have de-
cided upon will be put into execution.
On the city lots, where the pump
ing plant is located, there stands a
rented dwelling, which faces on Tar
ragona street. On the north side OF
the pumping plant proper, there is
an empty lot, which does not present
an attractive appearance at all.
The plans of the commissioners are
to move the house over on Guile
marde Street as planned, then to fill
in and level the lot on the east and
north sides, and plant ornamental
grasses and trees along the edges,
with a view of making the pumping
station one of the show places of the
city.
So many people have asked where
the water supply comes from, and the
| facilities for furnishing the city with
water, that it was determined to
make it attractive, so that strangers
| at the first sight would at once form
good impression Of the place.
Mayor Greenhut stated yesterday
that he thought the building would be
ready to be taken over by the city
early in the week, and plans as
mapped out would be started shortly
| thereafter.

TAXI DRIVER AND
PASSENGER. HAD 4
VERY CLOSE GALL
EARLY MORNING TRAIN DEMOL-
ISHED AUTO AND SERIOUSLY
INJURED BOTH OF THE OCCU-
PANTS OF THE MACHINE.

Claude McCurdy, driver of taxi
cab, and Mr.. Johnson, a travelling
man, out of st. Louis, Mo-, represent
ing a dry goods firm, were both more
or less seriously injured early yester-
day morning when the machine which
they occupied was struck by the Mo-
bile-bound passenger train, leaving
here at 6:3o o'clock in the morning.
The machine was crossing the
track at or just south of Flomaton
when the "short" hit them. Johnson
suffered a broken arm and had four
ribs broken, while McCurdy, who en-
deavored to leave the car hurriedly,
had an ugly hole knocked in the back
of his head, and his back was very
painfully injured.
The taxi was reported to have been
completely wrecked, and just how
either OF both of them escaped with
their lives, is unexplained.
Both of them were placed in the
hospital for treatment. Young Nc
Curdy is the son of Marshal McCur-
dy, of Flomaton.
Chief Frank Sanders, while on the
line with Marshal McCurdy on an
other matter yesterday morning, was
informed of the accident and that was
the first information which was re-
ceived in the city.

REPORT OF THE WARET WAYS COMMITTEE

streams, is even worse than the fish
evil and much more difficult to regu-
late, for the reason that no alterna-
tive seems to offer itself and when
objection is made you are confronted
with the argument. The state board
of health has been recommending a
system of sewage disposal systems
that will aid US at this point if only
we take the trouble to make inquiry.
Second: This pollution of streams
might be extended to include the
sources of water supply also. Even
when the water supply is from wells
it is worth while to inquire whether
they may not be subject to contamin-
alton from, surface toilets. This is
especially important since such con-
tamination may affect the health of
the entire community.
If we can induce our women to
busy themselves about these three
items we shall have accomplished
great good. | realize that this is
more adapted to communities near
the coast and along the large streams
than to those of the interior but all
towns have sources of drinking water
which is constantly in danger of be-
ing contaminated frome either sur
face or underground sewage.
There is hardly a club where this
will not prove popular department
if tested. I especially urge that the
test be made.
I have touched such phases of
this vast subject as appeals to me as
being within our reach and such as
would appeal to the average club
woman.

Let US forget.
Let us forget our brothers fault and

The yielding to temptations that

The sacrifice of love, the generous

When friends were few, the hand

BUNKER BUSINESS
SHOWS UP LIVELY
TWO STEAMERS HERE YESTER-
DAY, TWO MORE DUE TODAY,
AND APPLICATION IN HAND
FROM OTHER SOURCES.

The steamship bunkering business,
which had shown falling off during
the past few weeks, has suddenly be-
come lively, with the departure of a
number of steamers from gulf ports,
and the arrival of several others on
the way to ports nearby, and there
is a very good showing in this line
already in the Pensacola custom
house.
Two steamships are now in port
for coal, and were cleared yesterday
with over 1900 tons, and two others
are due today. The steamers now in
port both arrived yesterday and were
under the coal chutes most of the
day. They were the British steamer
Director, and the Swedish steamer
Consul Corftzen. Pilots are this
morning looking for two others, and
on Monday one or more additional
vessels for bunker are expected.
While bunker vessel does not help
the bay work generally it gives a lot
of work to a large number of negroes
who follow this line almost exclusive
", and reflects much activity upon the
port. The coal is brought here by the
L. & n. and enlivens the railroad
work that much, too.
1t will not be very long before it
will be possible, it is said to load
an entireship almost as fast as 1t now
takes to bunker a vessel, when the
electrical hoist coaling device is COM
pleted on the coal wharf.

In taking charge of this depart
rnent of the Federation work a year
ago, found that l had no precedents
from which to begin work. There
seems to have been almost no liter
azure on this department. There is
but little more now.
At the directors meeting at Fort
Lauderdale, / read a paper making
some suggestions which seemed to
meet the approval of those present.
Following that meeting / sent re-
quest to the several presidents of the
federated clubs of the state request
ing that, in their year books they
give at least one program to the
study of this department. 1t was SO
getting into the hands of the officers
that I fear that many had already
made up their programs for the year
I hope that even though programs are
already made, where it can be done,
this vital topic may be given a day
of study.
The reasons for this request will
appear more important as we study
the:
First: The pollution of steams;
In this state where so many people
live near the water where fish are
caught in commercial quantities it is
no uncommon thing for the refuse to
be dumped near the shore where the
waves and winds send them to de
cay on the beach. A campaign
against this practice will result ii
saving our cities and town from the
foul odor which at once becomes un.
sanitary and repulsive.

then give teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours
all the constipated waste, sour bile
and undigested food passes out OF
the system, and you have a we'll, play

Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach, liver and
bowels.

SEEKING SPIRITS IN
STEAMBOAT WRECK
Cole Thinks There Was a Lot
of it in Steamer That
Sank 81 Years
Ago

AlceSter, S. D. George Cole, Of
Alcester, can't give up the idea thai
there is a large quantity Of good ole
whiskey inside Of that steamboat that
was sunk on asandbar in the Mis-.
souri, river south of Elk Point, fifty.
seven years ago.
George found the wreck some
years ago buried about twenty feel
below the surface in a bed of sand
and salt. He had workmen dig
down to the upper deck, but he did
not have equipment to get below.
Everything he found on the upper
deck was as sound as the day the
boat was sunk.
He made arrangements with the
Hawarden Sand & Gravel Go. for
the machinery they had been using
10 pump gravel out OF the bottom OF
fhe Big Sioux river, and shipped il
to Elk Point, and willinstall it along
side the old boat With this machin-
cry he hopes to pump out the sand
and silt in a short time and find out
what is inside.
ltiskhown that there is large
quantity of lumber on the boat. This
is in good state of preservation and
will pay the excavating expenses. If
those fifty-seven-year old whiskey
casks have withstood the ravages of
Missouri river water, Mr.. Cole is Of
the opinion that a moonshiner'S still
will not be in it in comparison.
