harbor to her unaccustomed berth
and at $50 O'Clock Capt A. Amman
made as pretty a docking as has ever
been seen here, without a pilot, the
sun shining ont Of a clear sky for
the first time this season. On every
previous trip clouds or rain have been
met The weather at Hilo yesterday
was also ideal :.
In addition to the. perfect weather.
the Great Northern's arrival today was
notable because she brought the rec
ord number of tourists for the season
to date. Purser John Ford reported

TRAINING CAMP
Hard Fight Finally Won by Williams
and Harrison in Favor of Hat
tiesburg.

How Hattiesburg won one of the
training camps for the National Guard
through the efforts of Senator John
Sharp Williams and Representative
Pat Harrison and a little pulling at
home is a story of much interest and
lots Of life and action.
Finally gotten down to the stage
of two camps to be located and three
places recommended by General Wood,
the fight grew bitter and it was the
efforts of the two above Mississip-
plans which succeeded in bringing the
camp to Mississippi. The other two
places were Alexandria, La, and
Jacksonville, Fla. The last named
place is the one that lost out.
1t is intimated that Representative
Pat Henry in his efforts to land the
camp in his district spent a few good
words for the states neighbor to the
westward as well, aiding in the Sec
ond camp being located at Alexan-
dria instead of Jacksonville.
When General Wood visited Hatties-
burg the Honorable Pat was on hand
to serve as a steering committee of
one and he did SAme steering judging
from reports. When the site had been
thoroughly inspected and the General
had met and shaken hands with as
many people as could be crowded into
his life during the short period he was
in the city the decision was made. It
was not known however until his
recommendations reached the War De-
peartment. ....
Two camps and training sites are
now located in Mississippi and both of
them happen to be in the district rep
resented by Mr.. Harrison. The nava!
station at the Exposition
grounds at Gulfport and the camp just
located at Hattiesburg.

If You Are Superstitious Hold Your

Tom Lawson, who has made millions
out Of literary efforts and playing the

Thirteenth" famous when he wrote a
human interest love story full Of hard
luck and occasionally a smile which
he gave that title.

be started August first and continued
until August ID.
1t is important that the soil for the
late crop be plowed five to seven inch
es deep Just as soon as possible! then
harrow down until all clods have been
mashed. After it should be stirred
by a spike tooth or disk harrow about
once in ten days so as to keep it in
condition to hold all moisture. The
same ground that produced the early
crop may be used for the late crop
but this should not be done if it can
be avoided.
Plant at least six inches deep. A
Georgia Stock opens good furrow
in which to plant. The potatoes may
be treated much as for the spring
crop. 1t is not desirable to cut those
under three-quarters of an inch IN
diameter. In any case cut the tubers
so as to get at least one eye from the
bud end on each piece. Place the
pieces about eight inches apart in the
furrow and cover. ar.,
Press the soil down firmly over the
seed either by stepping on the row or
by the use Of I roller; then drpg the
spike tooth harrow over the patch 80
as to leave the top loose.
The cultivation should be frequent
the main object Of it being to keep
the surface mellow and loese.-L. g.

FEDERAL COURT TERM HAS
BEEN PERTERMITTED,

U. s. Commissioner W. G. Landers
Of this city is in receipt Of instruc-
tions from Federal Judge Henry c.
Niles, advising him that it has been
decided to pretermit the regular July
term Of Federal court, and that all
business scheduled for the July term
would be carried over until the jan
uary 1918 term. This is being done
chiefly through a desire to avoid the
extremely hot weather just at this
time and because it would mean a big
loss to men from various sections to
be compelled to stop their work and
attend the July term. Clarksdale

PLANTING OF FALL IRISH POTA.
TOES NOW UNDER WAY.

The present prices of Irish potatoes
Is creating great deal of interest in
the production Of fall crop.
The early varieties, Early Triumph
and Irish Cobbler may be used for
this late crop but late variety such
as the Lookout Mountain, as a rule,
Is considerably better. The scarcity
OF seed Of the Lookout Mountain and
.ne extremely high price asked for it,
however, makes it impracticable to
use it except in a very limited way

tlon OF the problem is to use the small
potatoes from the early crop. In q
good many places these are being sold

cents a bushel. From ten to fifteen
Ousnels will be required to plant an

Sort the small potatoes out as soon

TWO weeks before they are to be

consists first of spreading them out,
