This result is obtained by North

These figures NAV seem astounding
to people who are accustomed to think
the great Northwest is without a rival
in agriculture, but they are official,
and, presume, approximately correct.
Nor can their force be avoided by say
ing that Ohio is manufacturing State
She is as truly and essentially an agri-
cultural State as North Carolina Her
manufactures of woollen goods, agri-
cultural implements and machinery,
far exceed ours it is true, but our
"hOme manufactures exceed hers by
several hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, and our cotton manufactures at
least quadruple hers.
In regard to manufacturing, we
make a poor showing in the amount in
comparison with many of the States,
but in the percentage of profits we
have Just reason to boast of our advan-
tages. Let US contrast our State, in
this respect, with Massachusetts, the
foremost in the Union in manufac-
tures-fgures taken from the same

THE PROPOSED sroppAGE OF TRAINS,
Prompt and Timely Action Of the
Board Of Supervisors Of
Kinds County.

As already stated in these columns, the
Board of Health Of Kinds county adopted,
Tor the approval of the Board of Superyi-
sors, an ordinance which, il carried
into effect, would practically stop the
the running of trains through Kinds coun-
ty. This proposed action aroused the peo-
pie, of all the railroad towns especially, into
earnest remorstrance. The Mayor and other
officials, and many of the leading citizens
of Jackson, were very active against this
proposed measure. The Supervisors met on
Saturday last to consider the matter. Mayor
McGill and Messrs. I. +, Helm, ), Nirden
and j. l.. Power, were present from Jack
son; Rev. DR.. Webb from Clinton; Mayor
Baldwin, from Bolton protests were read
from Byram and Terry, and Col Mckinley
and Capt. Deaton represented the Railroad
interest. The Board was addressed by
Mayor McGnl Messrs. j. l., Power, Mayor
Baldwin, Rev. DR.. Webb, DR.. Boyle, Presi-
dent OF the County Board of Health, Major
Harper and Col. Mckinley. A good many OF
the citizens oil Raymond and surro undng
country were present, and manifested the
liveliest Interest in the question indeed the
sentimentwas sounanimous so against the pro-
posed action that DR.. Boyle assumed the
responsibility of saying that the Board OF
Health had nothing 20 submit. The follow
ing minute was unanimously adopted by
the Board of Supervisors:
The Board having this day convened to
consider certain recommendations In
reference to the total or partial suspension
of railroad trains running through the
county during the prevalence OF yellow fe-
yer, and the Board having had before 1t
protests from the city OF Jackson and the
towns of ByrSm, Terry, Clinton and Boil
ton, and the matter having been fully dis
cussed by representatives from said places,
and also from the town of Raymond, the
Board is fully satisfied that It is not the
wish Of tic people OF the county that there
should be any interference with railroads
than exist under the present excellent
quarantine regulations of our several towns ;
therefore this Board deem it unnecessary
to take any action in the premises further
than to recommend to the authorities OF all
our towns and justice beats unceasing vigil
lance and ~ unyeldlng determination to
EXCLUDES persons and goods from injected
districts. We assure the people OF New
Orleans, Port Gibson, Vicksburg, Canton,
Grenada and Memphis that no action shall
be taken by this Board that will Interfere
with the rapid transit OF relief to those
afflicted communities.
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1878-09-02

WE understand that no attempt will be
made bv the authorities of Jackson or rath-
err of Kinds county, to prevent the running
of railroad trains through the county. We
hope that no such insane movement as this
will be Attempted McComb City lntelli-
gencer.
Our good friend of the Intelligencer is
entirely wrong. The Jackson authorities,
backed by petition of most of the citi-
zens6f the town, protested against stop
ping the trains, and the Mayor and a dep
utation of citizens visited Raymond to ask
that no such measures be adopted. The
Board concurred with them, so it be
seen, that both city and county authori-
ties agreed not so do what our contem
porary was informed that they would "at
tempt TO do"

been made and that he was ready to testify,
which he did on the I'd Of July. Weber
