"The Delta in its issue of July 15.
1S55, published the first of a series of
letters from Colonel Claiborne of Mis
sissippi. These letter were not only
admirably written, but contained much
valuable information regarding the
section- of country which they so en
tertainingly described. The letter
from which some interesting extracts
are here given was largely descriptive
of the region around West Pascagoula,
the lCseatawba river, the Great Mea
dows, Clarks Springs, Jackson court
house, etc. Hoth the Pascagoula river
and the Escatawha river flowed
through what was regarded as the
finest pine lands in the United States,

with cypress, juniper,

Mr. J. W. Stewart, for many years
a leading citizen of Moss Point, pass
ed away last Saturday, Aug. 24, at
5:00 p. m. at his residence in that city,
after an illness of several months dur
ation. The funeral was held from the
residence Sunday afternoon at 4:00
o'clock, services being conducted by
Rev. Moore, pastor of the Methodist
church.
John W. Stewart was born In Amite,
La., June 9, 1855. He grew to young
manhood in Amite and was educated
in the schools of that city. At the age
of 24 years he went to Moss Point and
engaged in the drug business, which
vocation he followed for the past
thirty years.
On March 25th 1884 he was mar
ried to Miss Katie Griffin, by whom
he is survived, together with two sons
and one daughter, the children being
W. G. Stewart, Julian W. Stewart
and Miss Ada Stewart, all of that city.
Owing to declining health Mr.
Stewart was forced to retire from
business last March, being succeeded
by his son, Mr. W. G. Stewart.
With hopes that something might
be done for him, Mr. Stewart was
taken West in search Of health, but
the trip was in vain. He returned
from the West three weeks ago in a
very weakned condition. The lend
came last Saturday.
Mr. Stewart during his life held
many positions of honor and trust.
For many years he took a leading
part in the commercial and civic life
of Moss Point and Jaokson county.
He was also prominent in fraternal
circles, being Past Grand Master of
the Independent Order of Odd Fel

Sovereign Grand Lodge of that order.
Sincere in his opinions and con
victions, loyal to his friends, charit

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 20 Turning
out warships as if they were flivvers Is
a success.
Henry Ford told Secretary of the
Two Navy Daniels ne would oo it, wnen lie
undertook the contract for the first
100 Eagle-boats the new submarine
chasers designed by the navy depart
ment. That was last January. In a
few days, the plant which was de
signed, built and put into operation in
less than six months, hopes to be
dropping "Eagles" Into the water at
the rate of one a day. "Dropping" is
the correct term; they are not launch
ed.
The River Rouge plant of the Ford
Motor Company, where I spent the day
inspecting the production of the new
navy boats, is called a shipyard. It
looks like a vast factory; and It Is
in fact a steel fabricating, assembly
and equipment plant.
These boats are built on moving
platforms, conveyed on wheels; they
are made of steel parts fabricated in
endless quantity and put together with
rivets; they are wheeled out to he
water's edge, placed on a platform
operated by hydraulic jack, and plat
form and all is let down into the water
and the ship floated away. It is the
theory of "flivver" production applied
to ships.
Secretary Daniels called Henry
Ford to Washington last January to
ask him if he would undertake the
Job of building the new "Eagles."
Ford saw no reason why ships could
not be built in quantity like automo
biles. Se the contract was signed
January 17.
Within 24 hours plans were being
drawn, and details of the buildings
worked out. The site on which the
great plant stands was partly under
water. It was filled; the river was
dredged, a canal was cut to the fac
tory doors, and work begun on the
buildings.
The fabrication shop was built In
three weeks. Long before the 1,700
foot asembling building was finished,
the fabrication shop was producing
plates, angles, channels, etc., so that
the first ship could be begun as soon
as the assembling plant was ready.
The first complete "Eagle" went In
to the water July 15. Eighteen ships
are under way now, in a few days
there will bo 21 on the shipw.iys the
capacity of the n'nnt. Rpo' Ion H
ship a day will go into the water.
These boats should not be confused
with the 110-footers the origin sub-
inrine chasers. These are far larger
nd more powerful vessels. They are,
in fact halway between the "chaser"
and the "destroyer" type, two hundred
feet long and of 500 tons displacement.
The plant is laid out systematically,
so that the steel Is fed Into one end

The boats are made out of sheet

In the fabrication shop these

i irames are soaped and then run

cut out dozens of rivet holes at
time. Service railways run from this
shop to the assembling plant, which
covers 13 acres of floor space. The
keels are laid and the complete hulls
built on 12x12 timber mounted on 12
standard steel car trucks, operating
on ordinary rails. There is room for
seven af these trucks in each shipway
and there are three ihlpways. To the
keel the frames are added, then the
bulkheads, plates, the decking, and at
the seventh operation the hull Is com
plete and the boat ready for launch
ing. At the lower end of the assembling
plant a great transfer table operates.
Onto this the car truck carrying the
complete hull are run. and this table
connects with the launching bridge.
The boat and its carriage are run onto
the bridge and by means of large
hydraulic jacks, the whole is lowered
into the water. The carriage will

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen
having provided funds the work of
the V. S. Public Health Service in

himself as highly pleased with the
spirit of co-operation now existing be
tween the people and the Health
Service and the progress being made.
Report of health conditions in the
district comprising Pascagoula, Moss
Point and the adjacent territory is
very gratifying. In the period between
July 14 and Aug. 29th there have been
reported: One case of whooping
cough, ti cases mumps, 5 cases veneral
diseases, .". cases bacUiary dysentery.
I cases pneumonia, 38 cases malaria
ind 13 cases typhoid. The last case
of typhoid was reuorted Am 19.
Work on sanitary privies will be
pushed to the utmost. The delay in
constructing those for which payment
has already been made is due to in
ability to get bids on same, but this
has now been overcome.
Beginning Monday of Ddxt week all
roeeries, meat markets, bakeries,
restaurants, etc., will be reinspected.
Legal means will be Invoked to force
omntlance with the sanitary regula
tions on the part of those who have
not already done so.
It is planned to etaaa the streets
ihorughout the business section of the
City daily and the residence sections
weekly as soon as the necessary wag
ons and teams have been obtained.
Owners and tenants are directed to
keep their own premises and side
walks ciean.
Attention is directed to the sanitary
ordinance published elsewhere in the
Chronicle. The public is warned that
the provisions of this ordinance will
be rigidly enforced.
The office of the Public Health
Service is now located in the bungalow
next to the Paragon on Delmas avenue,
where those in charge of the work
will always be glad to have those In
terested in any feature of the sanitary
work call and consult with them.
