Truck Shipping At Vinegar Bend.


What we wanted to speak of re-
garding the truck shipping we saw
IN passing through Vinegar Bepd
recently was this: They ship through
the Escatawpa Farmers Association.
which takes care of the truck from
Escatawpa, Vinegar Bend and is
going to take on some from State
cLine. They have hustler for gen.
eral manager, Mr. ]. r. Kemp, one
of those middle westerners with
plenty of good practical sense and
plenty of energy. He is giving full
time at present to ~their association
and spends part OF the time in Vim
egar Eend TO see about the shipping
there. They have rented half of the
old Vinegar Bend Lbr. Co.'S. large
warehouse and handle fertilizers in
carload lots for their members.
Also hampers direct from the facto-
ny at cost prices. They ship to y
commission house which has resi-
dent partner down in Baldwin CO..
Ala, and it uses iced cars when
necessary and has the plan of diver
ting by wire in shipment to most
desirable markets, which is employ
ed to such great advantage by the
Florida fruit and vegetable Ex-
change Corporations, allusion to
which was made in our reports Of
thetrip down there last year An
other good feature which they have
with this commission firm is an ar
Irangement for an inspector on, the
ground and giving cash check for
80 per cent OF the value of the ship
ment to each shipper after stuff goes
into the car. They have some adj
vantage over our Leakesville Truck
crs Association IN being on main
line but told us to say to them that
would be glad to cooperate at any
time in any time IN any way. Men
like Frank, Marks and Dave Bearry
are In with them there at V-B.

Poster Carries Appeal.
Another and longer poster, apparent

dealt in detail with the destruction
caused by the rregulars throughout
Ireland. 1t argued that the irregular

sonable hope for 1relands prosperity
and happiness and appealed to the
citizens generally to stand solidly be-
hind the provisional government.
The grief over the death Of Arthur
Griffith was accompanied by a public
expression of admiration and affec-
ton for Collins. whose three -hour
march through the streets of Dublin
behind the body of his colleague was
in Irish history. because everybody
believed that Collins himself had been
marked for death.
This sinister fear seemed to pervade
the very atmosphere of the capital
If Collins had any premonition Of his

figure, boyish and confident. At the
pro- cathedral, where the services for
Griffith were held the commander-in-
chief personally took charge of all
and at the last moment
bestirred himself to find carriage
for Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Francis
Doyle of Philadelphia, who had just
arrived from London in time to at
tend the funeral.
Collins Loved by All.
At the funeral everybody was talk
ing about Collins, now that he was
left alone as the great, outstanding
figure in the Free State movement.
"All the girls of Ireland are in love
with Michael Collins" whispered an
Irish woman, as Collins, following

Commissioner May Ask Law to Re
woke Licenses of Stores Selling
Tips on Horses.

Two threatening letters were re
ceived by Commissioner oyster today
as result of his declaration of war
on persons who make handbooks on
the races in Washington.
Both missives were typewritten ana
anonymous and warned the Com
missioner TO beware. So far as could
be learned, neither communication
contained a direct threat OF violence,
but one suggested that the Commits
sioner's days were few.
The writer of one letter was in
such hurry to have it delivered that
he sent it special delivery.
The morning mail also brought to
the Commissioner a number of letters
viduals, congratulating him on the
firm stand he has taken against
horse-race betting.
Legal Opinion Awaited.
One writer told Capt. oyster that If
he is successful in putting stop to
that form of gambling he will have
earned the good will of all right
thinking citizens of the city.
Inc commissioner stated To-Day
that he is awaiting Il report from Cor
poration Counsel Stephens as to what
action. if any. may be taken under
existing law. against persons who sell
tips on the races to the vicsims of
the racing mania to guide them in
giving their money to the bookies
1t is reported that these tipsters
do a large business daily in the
downtown section of the city. The
foolhardy individuals who hand out
good money for these tip sheets play
the ponies with the belief that they
have sure shots" from the track.
Would Refuse Licenses.
The Commissioner also is seriously
considering the advisability of ask
ing for legislation to give the Com
missioners the same discretion in is
suing cigar store. lunchroom and bar
her shop licenses that they now have
in licensing poolrooms and billiard par
1ors.
The license laws as they now stand
give the superintendent of licenses
the right to turn down an applica-
ton If the police make an unfavor-
able report on the place to be Ii
censed. The corporation counsel is
of the opinion. however. that the
city heads could not follow the same
course in the case of other estah-
lishments where handbooks are
known to have been made.
