A Test Case.

A Jackson special of the 26th to
the Memphis Appeal says; "rhe
Federal Court to-day, after a con
test Of five days, disposed of a very
interesting case, involving only two
and one-half acres of land. The suit
was brought by John G. Jenkins
against l.. Tragel, who had posses
sion Of the land; the contest being
whether the land was in Wilkinson
county, Miss, or West Feliciana
Parish, La. The lines established
by the commission of 1919 were
thoroughly investigated and musty
records of various kinds examined.
The case was submitted to the jury,
who decided that the land was 10
Mississippi and the prop erty of Jen-
'kins. The most eminent counsel Of
Ithea State were engaged on both sides
and the costs will amount to more
than ten times the value of the prop.
Ierty but both parties to the suit are
rich and able to stand it,"
A disputed point is determined by
|the decision above mentioned, and
the boundry line between Mississippi
and Louisiana, recognized as laid out
lin 1898 between the then Spanish
Province of Louisiana and Mississippi
Territory.

MissOuri's ANTITRUST Law.

The Missouri authorities PROPOSE
to make legal campaign against
the trusts in that State-and there isl
probably no better place to begin,
for nowhere are trusts more numer-s
Gus or oppressive.
The Missouri Legislature showed.
itself very ingenious when it believed
that mere legislative declaration.
against trusts would have the effect
of abolishing them 1t passed law:
at the last session, which required,
all corporations to come forward and
declare whether they were connect-l
ed in any way with trusts or COM
bines.
This, it was supposed, finished
the business; whereas, as n matter
of fact, it was-as the Missouri au-,
thorities have discovered merrI
bru'um fulmen, impotent and with
out the slightest effect. The cor
porations got around the law by pay,
ing no attention whatever to it, aud
failed to file the afl1davits they were
called upon to make, declaring Them
selves free of all mar. lements with
trusts and combines.
The legislative enactment having
accomplished nothing, the legal au-
thorities Of the State propose to take
the matter in hand and bring suit
against the obstinate corporations.
We know by experience how long
and tedious such suits are. They
must pass through half a dozen
courts, for the trusts are rich and
powerful enough to carry their cases
to the highest tribunal A set back
in any of the courts will require the
trial to be begun anew, and even il
complete success crowns the efforts
of the State at the end az several
years, the chances are that the trusts
will, by that time, have discovered
some new mode OF existence and will
have organized themselves on some
different basis so as to render the
laws passed against them nugatory.
And thus it has been that where the
States have secured a number of
judgments against trusts, little prac-
ticoble results have been accomplish
ed in any v ay of breaking them up
In regard to the trusts, the people
have, as usual, accomplished far
more in the way Of defeating them
than the Legislatures or judiciary,
The Cotton seed Oil Trust frankly
confeeses that its trusts characteris-
tics we're surrendered in consequence
of the popular opposition TO them,
which it found extremely injurious
to its interests; and the people, that
is the Southern cotton farmers, were
in a good way to break up the Jute
Bagging Trust, and would have ac-
complished it this season but for the
desertion OF some Of the cotton ex-
changes, and will accomplish it next
year with OF, without their assistance.
Popular opinion has so far accomp-
lished more in the campaign against
trusts than either the courts or the
Legislatures.

Only twenty-five, years ago the
South was crushed and PROSTATE.
lGreat armies had desolated hel
domain. Her people were bank
lrupt and without financial credit
o-day she shows the strength of {
young giant. Her wonderful crops
are fed into newly built factories
Her mines are vomiting treasures out
sof the bowels of the earth. Hel
banks are sound and plethoric. New
England breads her looms. Pennsyl
Ivania trembles at her roar of hel
furnaces. On all sides can be seer
the signs of change. The plough,
the school house and the workshop
that magical trIumvirate of civil
lzation-have re-created the country,
With the South building up the

Hand Woodyille bias road. The
stalk Of wanting another to compete
awith the H., N. o. & T., amounts to
3nothing as competition which does
$not prohibit, in its way. The east,
Sbeing supplied, won't stand a tax
afor the benefit OF Woodville and the
awestern end, nor will the western
send for Woodvile and the eastern
aeud, already supplied. County aid
ecannot be had, and the road, if it

CANNING FACTORIES. !


1t requires such small capital to put in first
class canning factory plant that it is wonder
every Florida town has not at least one in opera
ton. There are no two ways about it, Tallahas-
see must have one. Some of our active citizens
are figuring on the cost, and it has been given
out that they would put in plant but why be
SO slow about it? Why not 90 to work at
once? Our largely increasing fruit and vegeta-
bic crops demand that we should have canning
factory, and if our home capital delays much
longer outsiders will drop in and grab the fowl
that lays the golden fruit.
just think of it, at cost Of less than seventeen
hundred dollars you can put in plant with
capacity of ten thousand cans per day, includ-
ing the corn and pea canning outfit; leave these
out and you can put in the plant for about one
thousand dollars.
The Pensacola News is booming up canning
factory for Pensacola, and they wrote to Mai.
Andrew Lewis of Roanoke, Va, to know what
plant would cost. In reply he sent the follow
ing statement:

An Exciting Time In the Floridiau
Press Room

Last Wednesday just before noon the Flo
RIDIAN force enjoyed the novel experience of
being blown up by steam engine and living to
tell the tale, or, what amounts to about the
same thing, each man felt that the next minute
would see him flying through the top of the
building. The engine had been acting contrary
all morning, and positively refused to pull the
press. Finally, without warning, the smoke
stack flew skyward flying bolt struck Mr..
Wesley, the foreman, a glancng blow
on the forehead, raising an ugly blue knot, and
stream OF steam and hot water flew in every
direction. Two of the boys at the folding table
broke for the back yard, one of them taking such
long strides that he split his trousers in twain.
The pressman gave leap struck his leg against
some obstacle, and imagined in the excitement
OF the moment that he had been struck by a
flying fragment of the boiler. The feeder
crawled through a broken window sash, and
watzed out into the middle of the street on all
fours The city editor was at his desk filling
out an application for two thousand dollars
insurance in the Tallahassee Lodge Knights of
Honor, but left it unsigned and eaped through
an open window into the street The printers
upstairs made rush for safety, two of them
trying to leap out of the same window, but find
ing it too crowded to crawl through, each
Jumped away and joined in the rush of the crowd

MERDERER CAPTURED.
Escaped Twelve Years ago, but Dep.
uty Sheriff Hopkins Scoops Him i'm


In 1877 number Of prisoners escaped from
the Leon county Jail, among them one Jockson
Jones' colored, indicted for the murder of John
Hill; said crime having been committed in this
county, near Lake Miccosukie Years have past
and gone and no trace was found Of Jackson
Jones, he having apparently dsappea, ed from
the face of the globe. Deputy Sheriff Arvah
Hopkins has mentally photographed upon the
tablets of his brain an accurate description of
each wanted" man, papers for whose arrest
are on file in the Sherff's Office, and last Thurs
day while in jefferson county he saw dalkey
who he thought exactly fitted the description of
the lost Jackson Jones. He scooped him in.
The prisoner has been fully identified. All
needed evidence for his conviction is on file, and
after twelve years of rowing Jackson Jones has
been brought back to answer for a CRIME that
had been almost forgotten by the people.
