To the Clarion
The subject of Railroads and their man
agement are interesting questions just now,
and the people i'm the Eastern part of the
State are looking with some interest to their
REPRESENTATIVES, to take the matter in hand,
and regulate their management and conduct
so that there will be some uniformity in
their charges. 1t has come to be matter
of speculation and question whether the
Railroads, as they are conducted, are of any
benefit to the State or to the people. The
State derives no benefit from the large land
ed estate owned and held by these roads.
They and their mortgages hold them free
of tax, while the people are ground down
by the heavy burdens of taxation. What
right has a great monied monopoly to De
relieved of taxatis while its burdens are
so heavy on those who are least able to bear
them?
1t has been argued in behalf these roads
that they enhance the value of property
along their lines. and as a consequence in
crease the amount of taxes received by the
state. The contrary has been the enect
along the line of the Mobile q Ohio hallroau:
and. chat cost the owners two dollars and
a half per acre, the Government minimum
after the road was located can now De nad
| for dollar and q quarter. The company
| hold nearly million of acres and they re-
fuse to sell at fair prices so that tt Is impos-
! sible for the country TO settle.
| No encouragement Is given to the indus
try of the country. The cry is diversity
| vour crops, raise corn. wheat. oats, rye,
| potatoes, &C., and plant less cotton. Inc
Railroad monopoly comes in and says IN

nothing else that you can raise viii De car

rates that you cannot afford TO pay II, anu
such is absolutely the fact No encourage

GOLDEN PROLIFIC
COTTON SEED /!

- DURANT, Miss. Dec. II, 1870.
We, the undersigned, residents of Durant
and vicinity, take great pleasure in recon-
mending to our friends and the plan ting COM
munity generally, the
Golden Prolific Cotton Seed!
We believe this seed to be superior to the
Dixon" any other seed we know Of
We also oheerfully bear testimony to the
fact that our friend, John G. Davis, 1.ade nine
bales of cotton from Golden Prolific seed, on
seven acres of land, and that land not the best
by any means. The chief points of excellence
of the GOLDEN PROLIFIC COTTON SEED
are
First-The foliage is smaller, making it best
for bottom lands.
Second-The seed are fully one-third small
err consequently more lint.
Third-fhe staple is much finer and longer.
Fourth-The yield is fully double that OF
any other cotton.
We cheerfully recommend the seed offered
for sale by John b. Davis and parties order
ing of him may rest assured that they will get
genuine seed, and be fairly and honestly
dealt with.
