A GREAT FUTURE FOR
MISSISSIPPI

At the present rateof progress Mis-
sissippi stands a good chance to de
velop into ship building state OF
prime Importance. Since February,
1917, barely a years time, Secretary
of State Power reports that 21 ship
building corporations have been char
tered since the passage Of the snip
yard tax exemption bill in the extra
ordinary session Of October, 1917.
These 21 companies have a combined
Capitalization of $3,040.000.00 in in
corporation fees. These concerns, or
most of them, will undoubtedly be
come permanent industries of the
state, as it will take years to make
up the enormous shipping losses caus
ed by the war. In addition, they viii
create heavy demand for skilled
and unskilled labor, bringing consider
able new capital to this section, and
distribute hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars in salaries, wages and pur
chases of raw materials, It will be
interesting to calculate the net gai'
to the state by the establishment Of
these ship building companies, over
the small amount Of tax exemptions
even leaving out the value of perman-
ent improvements that will eventual
ly be placed on the tax rolls.
Following are the names of new
companies recently chartered in the
State of Mississippi with an aggre-
gate capital stock of $3,040.000.00.
and aggregate fees paid to state OF
s3,200.00:
Gulfport Shipbuilding & Mig Co.
international Shipbuilding Co.
City of Pensacola Ship Co.
City OF Houston Ship Company.
Gulfport Shipbuilding Co.
City of Gulfport Ship Co.
Biloxi Ship Yard and Box Factory
! City of Beaumont Ship Co.

When the railroad companies be-
gan TO fight the assessments of the

started work to secure afidavits from
citizens to the effect that ther proper
ty was not assessed at 100 per cent.
Attorney General Collins counterad
with afiidavits from other citizens
showing that they were not assessed
at 100 per cent.
When Governor Bilbo heard about
the action Of the railroads he an
nounced that any persons who furn-
ished such afidavits to the railways
| laid themselves liable to prosecution
for perjury because in making their

GENIN BILL ATTRACTING
ATTENTION

Representative r. L. Genin's bill to
bridge the Bay Of ST. Louis in front
of this city is attracting attention and
is receiving general endorsement.
The Mobile Register of a few days
since contains the following refer
ence:
Biloxi and other Mississippi coast
cities are interested in the proposed
construction of publicly owned
bridge or causeway across Bay ST
Louis at an estimated cost Of $780,
900 that will ultimately not cost the
taxpayers of Harrison or Hancock
counties a cent. Provisions are car
ried in the bill introduced in the
house by Representative r. L. Genin,
of Hancock County. The proposed
bridge or causeway will pay for itself
in tolls. The construction of
bridge across Bay st. Louis will fin
sh a link in the Spanish trail, the
national highway that is being bui.

PLEA FOR BETTER SIDE WALKS

Bay St. Louis, Miss, Jan. 81, 1918.
Editor of The Sea Coast Echo.
Dear Sir:
Don't you think it is about time to
call to the attention of property own
ers to the bad condition of their side
walks? In the principal part of
this town there are a good many
sinde walks that are impossible in
rainy weather, and for some daes
after, as the side walks are nothing
but mud puddles.
How does this impress, especially
visitors, when they have to look for
a dry passage in the roadway?
There is another very annoying
thing Most of the entrance gates
open on the side walk or streets and
are mostly open and block the side
walks. Passengers in passing are
forced to take the street or close the
gates.
Should not the Mayor and Alder
men prevent this and force the prop
erty owners to make their gates open
on the inside of their property and
keep the public clear?
Very respectfully yours,
CHAS. SANGER.

EARLY IRISH
POTATO PLANTERS

At this time the indications are
that Irish potatoes will bring a fair
price this spring. The planting of
Irish potatoes and the getting of them
on the early market is a means of
getting of some ready cash in the
hands of the farmers at a time when
it is so much needed. With this
end in view the farmers in a number
of the communities have come to-
gether in such numbers to plant po-
tatoes enough to insure carload ship
ments, thereby enableing them to get
the benefits of the large markets. I
do not advocate the going into the
potato business on an extensive
scale, but plant for market anywhere
from 1-8 of an acre to l acre. Do
not plant but one kind of potatoes
in community for shipping pur-
poses and the Bliss Triumph seems to
be the one in greatest demand on the
early market. Let each community
plant as near the same time as pos
sible, work as near alike as can, and
then the potatoes will be ready for
the market at the same time, thereby
enableing all in that community to
sell together. Do not fail TO treat
the potatoes before planting with
formaldehyde, soak the potatoes in
a solution Of pint to 80 gallons
of water for hours, in order to des-
troy any scab that may be present
To neglect doing this may be the
cause of your potatoes being unfit fol

BAY ST. LOUIS BOY IN GAS
MASK DRILL

A well-known Bay st. Louis boy
in one Of the cantonments Of this
country, writes a most interesting let
ter home, which we have been
privileged to read, and publish the
following excerpt therefrom, showing
and telling something of the work
that is being carried out:
eve have been drilling with gas
masks on all this week. The mask
fits tight around the face; it is part
ly made Of rubber and has gas
pieces to see through. There are al
so two slips that fit over the nose, SC
you cannot breathe through the
nose-you have to breathe through
the mouth. There is a piece of rub
Der that fits in the mouth, and the
air that you breathe all comes
through small tank that is carried
strapped around the breast We had
to go in a gas house where there was
gas and had to stay in there from five
to ten minutes. There were two
kinds of gas. The first day we went
into the midst of a gas that affects
the eyes. It will blind you in just
a short while. We kept our masks
on for five minutes in the room where
the gas was, and then took them off
to see how it effected the eyes. It
made the eyes hurt and run tears in
about thirty seconds, and, believe me,
I got out of therel
''The next day we went into gas
that is called 'choloride gas a gas
that affects the lungs, but we did not
take the masks off, because in one or
two minutes it would kill you if you
inhaled it. We stayed in the room
about ten minutes with the masks
on"
