DOWN In DIXIE

Mr.. AL Adams, one OF the North
ern party recently visiting Jackson
county, gave quite a lengthy and
tlitteIing account of bis Trip TO the
Humboldt (Iowa) Independent, with
which paper he is connected. The
communication before us is very
lengthy, well written and interest
ing to distant readers, but we ex-
tract the following OF most general
interest in u business way:
Scranton, Miss, is situated on
the east side of Pascagoula river
or bay, for the delta of this river
with lis many miles OF deep water
and winding ShorescOntaIns enough
of deep channels aud land protect
ed harbOr to accommodate all the
shipping that might ever be collect
ed together in one place, with only "A
narrow bar at the mouth separating
this fine anchorage FROM the gull or
channel. An appropriation of one
fourth the amount that has been
vainly expended IN Galveston, Mo-
bile and other bays would make
PaScag0ula one of the most acces
able aud safe harborS in the world.
Scranton is the county seat OF
jackson county, the southeast coun-
ty in the State OF Mississippi, and
is situated one hundred miles from
New Orleans and about forty miles
from Mobile. Twenty-Five hundred
people are claimed for it, but on ac-
count OF the extensive shipping and
numbering business at this point
undoubtedly some of this popnla-
ton is transient. The town is sit
uated about one aud ene-lIalt miles
back of what was known before the
war as PaScagoula beach. This
was at that time Il great winter re-
sort for the people OF all Southern
cities, where they could enjoy at
once tue invigoratina SCI breeze
from the Gull for miles along this
Coast aud for miles inland, with the
salt tides ebbing and flowing over
all the sea marshes, kills every
vestage of malaria that might 9th
erwise make this and other places
along the shore of Mississippi and
Alabama undesirable residences on
account of bilious disorders. On
the contrary not a particle of mala-
ria is known to exist on this whole
Coast, consequently the diseases
depending upon such condition
OF things do not and apparently
cannot exist"

Randall's Tariff Bill.

The following very conciSe and
correct summary of the bill present
ed IN Congress by Mr.. Randall:
The Randall tariff bill propose
the repeal of all internal-revenue
laws affecting tobacco, aud of all
such laws as impose a tax on spirits
distilled from apples, peaches and
others fruits. All laws imposing a
special tax on manufacturers of
stills and whole sale and retail deal
ers in spirituous and malt liquors
are also proposed to be repealed.
Manufactures are permitted TO
withdraw from bond alcohol for
these purposes in quantities OF
! three hundred gallons without pay
ment of the Internal tax. Weiss
beer is to be wholly exempt from
tax. The present tax of 80 cents
per gallon on distilled spirits is to
be reduced to 80 cents. All the
above mentioned changes OF the
law, as well as those that follow,
are to take effect July 1, 1888. The
tariff changes proposed by MIR. Ban
dali are 10 many cases found TO
be increases of taxation. On tin
plate, tor example, he proposes to
increase the tax from Que cent per
pound the present, to two aud one
tenth cent per pound. On iron or
steel railway bars the duty is plac-
ed at $14 per ton, instead of $ll,
as purpOsed BY the Way aud Means
Committee. The Iron and steel
schedules have some slight reduc
tions here and there, but as a rule
tue tax is kept at the top notch,
Ga timber, squared or sided only,
there is reduction OF 8 per ceut.
On sawed boards, etc, there is no
reduction. The rates on sugar re-
mains unchanged. In provisions
there are few changes,th the principle
observed being to keep the duty
high. On manufactures OF cotton
the duties are not lowered TO al
Improbable extent. In most cases
they are not lowered at all. On
clothing wool aud cOmbing wool
the duty is 10 cents per pound it
valued at above 80 cents a pound,
10 cents. On carpet wool the duty
is to be 3 cents a pound Gu the
FIRST two classes the present duty
is retained ; on the third it is in
creased one-lialf of a cent a pound.
Oh tue cheaper sorts OF WOODEN
cloth there is q reduction of 10 per
cent. on those worth so cents a
pound there is no reduction. Salt
is not placed on the tree list. The
bill, it will be perceived from the
items here enumerated, is unsatis-
factory, and as regards such artic
les as tin plate extremely objection
able. The reduction of the tariff
expected to be effected by it is es-
timated ut about $3,000,000. The
reduction OF the internal taxes on
tax on spirits aud beer from Sl2,
OOO,O 900 to $15, OOO, 900 The total Q
duction by this estimate would be
about $62, 600, 900. The bill will he
referred to the Committee on Ways
and Means, where it viii repOse
undistnrbed. In tue struggle in
the House it may be made the baSls
of some sort Of barter With the Re
publicans, but i~tsfuture is very pre-
carious.

ARE YOUR TITLES CLEAR2

AS the lands aud land property
of jackson county increase IN yaluc
and demand, and matters stand as
they are it is safe to predict a great
deal of vexatious litigation growing
out OF title disputes. Owing to the
burning of the records, together
with a great deal OF carelesSness,
neglect aud much ignorance III re-
gard to titles, it seems now that
defective, bad aud disputed titles
will prove to be the rule aud good,
clear titles the exception. The re-
cent Investigations that have been
occasioned by negotiations of sales
have developed the fact that many
titles considered clear require cor
rections more or less cxpen-
sive and troublesome. In fact,
there ore but few land owners of
the county, who Ell knowingly
claim that their titles are clear aud
safe. Such a state of affairs is
dangerous and uuwise. If our
land owners knew the defects of
their titles, we believe few of them
would rest content till the necessa-
~ corrections were made. lgno-
rance In such vital matters may be
bliss for "a time, but it is bliss
wherein it is folly not to be wise.
Now, while lands are comparatively
cheap 1t would, in the majority of
cases, not be difficult to get correc-
tions made, but a little Increase in
value and demand will render cor
rections next to impossible.
In those States where lands are
very valuable and prices high, aud
in fact a mans Gall" is as valuable
to him AS it to j. Gould, the halt OF
his wealth, it is expected that every
land owner will keep an abstract
of his title, and purchasers are as
careful about the abstract as the
proper execution of the deed. 1t is
practically the only way by which
a man can he sure he owns what he
claims. If a mans property is
worth anything it is we'll worth his
while, and some expense to know
that it belongs to him. An abstract
doesn't cost much, it FURNISHES
ready reference, shows all veal
places and points out the means by
which corrections can be made, ]
at all. A title that can stand thu
test of an abstract, and show vi
clear, adds to the market value o
the property more than the alb
stract costs in every instance.
Mr.. Il. b. Eyeritt, of this place
has had some valuable experience
10 examining titles aud preparing
abstracts by an approved system
adopted by land companies. They
are put in order, and are writer
out plain, neat and lasting. Sucl
an abstract in the hands of every
land owner in the county woult
prove of untold value, individual,
aud generally, al very snail cost.

THE OHAN0ERY DISTRICT.

The bill rushed through the Leg
islature for re-distlicting the judi
ciary has played the wild with our
Chancery district in its appoint
ment of court terms. The Chan@el-
lor begins his work by making a
complete circuit of the district, be-
ginning in the northeast corner,
thence around by New Orleans to
The southwest corner, thence east
by Mobile, and on north to the
place of beginning Tor next to it)
when be is less than half through.
He then gees into the ring and goes
back and fourth over the counties
like a shuttle) through which he
has already once passed. He trav-
els by rail about 500 miles, aud by
private conveyance, the most ex-
pensive travel, abouC 250 miles.
The pay was slightly increased,
but it will be we'll earned and well
spent by the time the Chancellor
gets round aud across his work.
But that was a remarkable Legis-
lature aud did remarkable work.
