TRUNK WAS BLIND II Policeman Rainor Guessed lhe Con tents and Made a Good Haul of Booze. ) The city of Hattiesburg Is in posses sion of five and a half gallons of whisky and eleven quarts of beer, and a trunk, all of which it did not possess yesterday morning. The acquisition of j the booze and trunk is due to the ncu teness of Policeman Rainor, who ha* demonstrated that he can tell with reasonable accuracy the contents of a trunk without opening the lid. Yesterday while on Sixth street noticed two ne groes carrying a trunk which appeared to be rather heavy. With a definite ob ject in view, he offered lo guess at the weight of the trunk by lifting it, and when he had done so he made up his mind that the trunk would bear look ening Officer Rainor jfng into, so he had the negroes carry it to the city hall. When the trunk was opened, It was found to contain the quantity of drinkables mentioned above, all of which was promptly seized and added to the contraband stock of booze of the city.

It i j TO CONFER Farmers Union is Perfecting Its ) Cotton Warehouse System Throughout the State. Jackson, Miss., September 23.—Pres ident G. R. Hightower has called a meeting of the loral managers of (he Farmers' Union warehouses in state, to be held in this city on next | Saturday, when the machinery for the operation of the various warehouses under a uniform system and under the supervision of a board selected ; by the union itself, will he perfected and actually put in operation ns fast , the warehouses are completed, as many of them are already. Mr. Hightower says forming a federation of warehouses is progressing nicely, and thinks the operation of the nearly one hundred warehouses in the stnte will be suc cessful from the start. The union is now devoting most of j the as this work of its energies to this warehouse move -1 ment, and the officials regard it as perhaps the most Important of all the j It will, they features of their work, think, hotter enable the farmer to hold hts cotton, when necessary, for better prices, and release him from any sort of dependence upon others for flnan clal aid in that direction. The membership of the union has not, been increasing so rapidly within (he past few weeks as formerly, but the officJal8 assert that what Is lack ing in numbers Is more than made up in the character of the membership. The Inference is that the members who occasionally drop out are among the least desirable element, while the new members are of a higher type than ho average in the past, That there is a better system of handling the affairs of the organiza tion in this state there can be no doubt and the entire workings of the organiz at ion has a more business-like aspect than in the past.
