On Tuesday evening Isanney y Martins
comic opera troupe we're here and gave
the Mikado. The music was exceedingly
well rendered, the male quartet was as good
AZ we have heard in long time. The
house was poor one, owing to the rain.
The price OF reserved seats was higher
than usual here, but it is the experience OF
nearly every one that when you get good
thing you have to pay for It. We have
been accustomed to lower prices and poor,
er shows. What Is wanted here Is musical
entertainments of higher grade than we
have been having, to build up a broader
and better musical taste. Music should
be taught here 10 our public schools.
MANY studies are pursued here which pos
.ibly the scholar will never use during
life. Would 1t not be better to develop
lis mental faculties in the study OF music,
that which has contributed so much
toward the lettering of the human race
Because music has been used to attract
people 20 saloons and other bad places Is
proof of It's power for good if rightly used
and not an argument against it, one might
as we'll say II will never use any fire
because Of its terrible destruction when un
controlled"
II music teacher could be hired tc
teach In West Marseilles in the forenoon
and In East Marseiles In the afternoon
commencing at the simplest forms oI
music, and going far enough to enable fh'
advanced scholars t. read ordinary music
1t would result in much good.

THE Supreme Court has just dc ,cided, in the case of the Territory ys
 Dlomberg. that the information Act passed by the 18th Legislative As sembly is invalid. Rlomberg wus tried upon an information charging him with F urder, iL the District Court Of PinA county, was convicted of man slaughter and sentenced 10 seven and ons-half years in the penitentiary. The decision Is not wholly unexpcct- ed. It will be remembered that over year ago the Citizen published a long opinion Of Judge Gregg to the effect that the act was invalid. The opinion was rendered when the ques- ton was first argued before him. It was widely copied in the press of the Territory, and had < marked effect in checking trials by iiIfermation.-Tuc- son Citizen. ...

A Big Land Suit.

A special from Jackson TO the Mem
phis appeal, 10th, gives the following
interesting particulars:
An important land case was argued to
day before Judge Wharton, Circuit
Judge. which involves directly the title
to 5000 acres of land in Bolivar county
and indirectly 1000, coo acres of land
purchased by the Louisville, New Or
leans and Texas Railroad and the Evers
& Watson English syndicate from the
liquidating Levee Commissioners The
proceeding was by mandamus, to COM
pei the Auditor TO convey to purchasers
the States title to the same lands preyi-
ously conveyed by the Levee Commits
sioners, ON the grounds that the lands,
having been sold to the State for taxes
prior to any sale made by the Levee
Commissioners, we're not liable TO the
leyee taxes and never having been re-
deemed or purchased from the State
were now subject to purchase as other
State lands. A demurrer to the petit
ton was sustained and the court held
that in the case of Green vs. Gibbs the
title of the State had been passed to the
railroad and other purchasers by the
releases executed by the Auditor under
the laws of 1854 The Attorney Gen
eral represented the Auditor as attor-
ney, and had associated with him as
special counsel w. A. Percy. w. l.
Nagent and Frank Johnston. The
petitioners were represented by Calvin
Perkins and Ben. w. Hirsch, of Mem
phis- Able arguments we're made by
the counsel on each side. The cases
will he appealed to the Supreme Court

Jackson, the Center of the Great Cot.
ton Manufacturing Hub

The official report of the National
Cotton Exchange, just issued, shows
that the crop Of the last year amounted
TO 6 1915, 691 bales, Of which the exports
TO Great Britain were 2,565, 243 bales; 20
the Continent ,36l 81; and to France
4O8, $50. The Northern mills took /, 49,
AIS bale. and Southern mills 38l >
066, while "a 1925 bales went to Canada.
1t viii be seen that Cotton is still
king. 1T still furnishes the people Of
the United States the most valuable ar
ticle of expectation The uumanufac
tured cotton exported during the past
fiscal year was ,S91 ,659, 472 pounds, val
ued at s20l 1862, 45s, an increase Of near
ly $4,000, 900 over the value Of the ex-
portations Of that product the previous
year. 50 much for foreign con-
sumption. The increase in c0nsump-
ton by Southern factories is gratifying
and encouraging. The consumption Of
the Southern mills in 1882 amounted to
but 286, 900 bales. In focr years it has
increased 100000 bales. Thus far the
Southern mills have manufactured only
the coarse grades of goods. By reason
Of their proximity to the cotton fields
and the favOrableness of the Southern
soil and climate to cheap living, they
will obtain complete control of the
trade in that line, of not only the North
but the world. When the South has
achieved the success which awaits her
in those grades, she can take new de,
parture and enter the lists in the manu-
facture of the finer goods The out
look is encouraging.
We need not add that our Capital
city of Mississippi is becoming a great
railroad center, in the very heart of the
cotton belt, and that there is no location
in America superior to it in the advan
tages which she holds out for the invest
ment Of money for the manufacture oil
our chief staple, which has won its way
to the kingship of the commercial
world.

Death of Hon. George Tcrrey.

The Fayette Chronicle contains an APP
and touching tribute TO the
memory Of the late Hon. George Torrey
of Jefferson county, who departed this
life, 10 enter, as We believe, upon a
brighter and better one, on the 9Th
day Of September. He died 10 the 18th
year of his age, after long, lingering
illness, which he bore with the calm
resignation of one who has fought the
good fight and can look back to an
honorable, upright and Christian life,
and forward TO the reward which awaited
him when he should rest from his earthly
labors. His career had been one OF
constant activity and his death resulted
from the gradual encreachments of age
upon his strong aud vigorous physical
system. He was prominent and active
citizen. Before the war, he held the
highest places his county could confer
Sheriff, Representative and State Sena-
tor. He was faithful to every trust
His personal popularity always exceeded
the strength of his party. He never
wavered a hairs breadth from the
Democratic faith, in which he was e
firm believer; but such was the kindnes:
Of his nature and the well known recti
tude of all his purposes, that he Won
public confidence and was successful al
the polls when others would have failed
He was in the strict sense a patriot. He
loved his country, and maintained tht
political creed which he believed would
best advance its welfare. he was
Christian who delighted in good works
He was a philosopher who bore witt
fortitude the reyerses of life He was /;
good neighbor, constant friend, anC
above all, he was the light and blessin!
of the family circle. He would hav,
been spared longer, if the devotion 0
family, the love of friends, and thu
distinction he had achieved by life o
honorable endeayor, could have awaited
But the inevitable hour" must come t.
all. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes
dust to dust
