Arkansas City Traveller: One hun

Chickasaw nation have undertaken. in
systematic manner, to force the disso-
luton of the tribal government and the
division of the land. The plan is to sue

United States, for partition of the
tribal lands, setting forth in their petit

Gypsum Advocate: The Acme
Cement Plaster works OF this city were
sold this week for $4,000. We learn
that the owner of the quarry retains an
interest. This enterprise was started
only two years ago, in small way,
but has developed into magnificent
industry, and will aid largely IN making
Gypsum City a center of trade.

A Centenarian.

Probably the oldest man in Lin
coin county is Mr.. James Stewart,
who is 101 years of age. He is an
interesting parsonage. He lives with
an unmarried daughter on Stewards
creek eight mile southwest of Brook
haven. Mr.. Stewart was one of the
earliest settlers of Mississippi, having
come when young will, his father
John Stewart to the territory eighty
five years ago and taking up his res
idence in what was afterwards Law
renee county in the same neighbOr-
hood where he now lives.
He is a well preserved man in good
health and last year worked in the
field and made tolerably good crop.
He has lived under all the Presidents
from Washington to Harrison and
voted at every Presidential election
since the State was admitted to the
Union in 1917. He has always been a
hard working farmer and never made
use of tobacco in any form.
Long may he live and prosper.

The New Railroad.

Brookhaven's prospects for o new
railroad become brighter and brighter
as time grows apace. The interest of
the people of Lawrence county in the
enterprise will be manifested next
Monday in a large mass meeting at
Monticello, which will be attended by
citizens from this county and some
prominent railroad men from else
where.
The meeting will be in the interest
of the proposed short line from here
to Monticello, but we have it from an
entirely reliable source that the
officials of the Illinois Central and
East Tennessee, Georgia and Vir.
ginia system, are seriously contemplate
ing the completion at an early day of
the Railroad all the way from Brook
haven to Meridian.
If the people Of Lincoln and Law
renee counties will take the proper
interest in the subject, we are conf
dent something practical will result,
and that in the comparatively near
future.

Let the Local Acts be Publish
ed i'm the Local Papers.

Twice during the last four years ac-
ton has been taken by the Mississip-
pi Press Association demanding that
local laws passed by the Legislature
be published in the local newspapers
of the counties. This demand is SO
evidently just, both to the press and
the people, that it will not admit of
discussion. During the session of 1888,
such bill did pass the Senate, but
for some unaccountable reason, was
stified in the House. The State print
er naturally wants everything in
sight, and as he has the putting power
at Jackson he gets it. 1t would be
well for the press of this State to take
hold of the other end of the putting
business and try it's strength at the
homes of the members of the Legisla
ture. Justice and common sense both
demand change in the present ar
rangement, and we hope to see the
Legislature now in session deal with
the subject as its merits deserve.

Millsaps Methodist College.

Bishop Galloway last Friday an
nounced the trustees of the new Meth
odist Male College. The following
constitute the board--eight from the
Mississippi and eight from the North
Mississippi Conference.
From the Mississippi Conference T.
L. Mellen, w. c. Black, A. F. Watkins,
c. G. Andrews, w. L. Nugent, r. w.
Millsaps, L. Sexton and NJ. NJ. Evans.
From the North Mississippi Confer
ence: j. j. Wheat, I. J. Newell, S. NJ.
Thames, R.W. Standifer, G. ID. Stands,
d. L. Sweatman, j. b. Streater and
John Trice.
These, with Bishop Galloway, will
constitute the first board of trustees.
A committee, consisting of Bishop
Galloway, Colonel Nugent and Capt.
Sweatman, were appointed to secure
a charter for the institution.
The college was named Millsaps
Methodist College in honor of Major
r. w. Millsaps, the princely donor of
$4,000 to the endowment fund. The
endowment canvass will be prescott
ed vigorously and the college located
at an early date.

Don't PerVert the Record.

How can the Natchez Democrat
muster up the gall to say this in the
face of the recordi "During the last
gubernatOrial canvass there was a
marked absence of any expression by
the candidates on the convention is
sue, which indicated the uncertainty
of the desire of the people for con-
ventiOn-in fact it was ques-
ton which candidates avoided scrupu-
lously."
AS matter of fact, Barksdale.
Featberston and Cameron were on
record for a Convention and made
their position known wherever they
spoke; while Stone, as soon as he
was asked to define his position on
the question, promptly answered that
if the Legislature passed Conyen-
ton bill, unlike Governor Lowry, he
would sign it.

The bill now pending in the Legis-
lature to place property and educa-
tional qualification on the ballot in
the municipal elections of Jackson is
an important more in the right direc-
ton. Something radical should be
done to obviate the necessity for the
revolutionary methods the best citi-
zens of the Capital, in sheer self-de-
Tense, have been compelled to resort
to during the last two city elections,
and we think the bill proposed is a
wise solution of the matter.

The State Printing.

A very warm contest is going on in
jackson just now over the Office of
State Printer-Messrs. McNeily and
and Banks being pitted against
Messrs. Henry and Power, the present
incumbents. A special legislative
committee has been appointed to
investigate and report as to an al
legged overcharge by Mr.. Henry for
the Acts of 1886, of $S7l.2 20, similar
to the overcharge made by Col. Pow
er for the Acts of 1882.
Believing there was no wrong intent
on the part of Mr.. Henry whatever
the committee may decide as to the
law in the easel, we must still frank
ly confess that we cannot work ourself
up to any very great concern as to
which of the opposing candidates for
State Printer succeeds. We would
much rather see the Legislature abOl-
ish the Office altogether and appoint
a commission to let the work out to
the lowest and best bidder, as is now
done under the constitution of Louis
lana. The idea of maintaining sort
of court journal at State expense to
run in competition with papers that
are more meritorious and do more real
service for the party and people than
the official concern, is contrary to the
best interests of the State and repug-
nant alike to true democracy and to

Stones Inaugural.

State papers ever produced by Mis-

great body of Mississippians who sup

Stone at the helm once more, Missis-
sippi's destiny is in safe hands for the
next four years.

A Meridian special to the New Or
leans Picayune says: considerable
interest is being taken here in the pro-
posed Natchez. BroOkhaven and Meri-
dian Railroad. This road was project
ed some years ago, but the fact that
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia System is now considering
the road, as it will give that system
another line to the Mississippi river,
there is feeling that there is now
something in it. The Board of Trade
to-day appointed committee of three,
consisting of J. H. Holoman, John ID.
McInnis and Fl. Sidney King, to cor
respond and confer with the citizens
of BrOokhaven and Natchez relative
to the projected road"

What Good Cultivation Can Do.

We have been handed letter from
Mr.. w. w. Cook to Hon. j. Il. Casey,
enclosing account of sale of one bale
of "Cook Cotton" $40 pounds, at %
cents per pound; net proceeds of bale
$119.37 This bale was raised on one
acre of hill land in Kinds county, worn
by 60 years of cultivation and without
special fertilization. Mr.. Cook has
sold all of the seed he desires to dis
pose of at 500 per bushel.
Some day cotton planters will wake
up to the fact that on one acre of land
drained, planted and cultivated with
care and thOroughness, according to
natures laws as revealed by science,
and applied with judgment and COON
sense, there is more profit than on ten
acres under the ordinary planting
methods GreenUitle Times.

An Objectionable item slipped into
The "patent inside" of blother edi-
tor, and to prevent it's being read and
giving offense, he conceived the idea
of FASTING piece of blank paper over
it to prevent its attracting attention.
This excited the curiosity of his read
ers, especially the ladies, to such a de-
gree, that they steamed or soaked the
blank paper off, and the Objectionable
article which the editor desired to
conceal attracted more notice and
was more critically read than any
thing in that issue of his paper.

Referring to Mississippi matters, the
Times-Democrat says: "No measure,
for instance, has been productive of
better results than the new assessment
law, which has added many millions
to the assessment of the State, and
equalized taxation. The law has prov
ed practical success, will yield the
State large revenue, or permit re-
ductiOn of taxation, and will be still
further improved by the present legis-
Iature."

A pious old citizen of CarrolltOn
went to the cars the other day to see
his daughter off. Securing her a seat
he passed out of the car and went
around to the car window to say a
parting word. While he was passing
out the daughter left the seat to speak
to friend, and at the same time a
grim old maid took the seat and NOV
ed up to the window. Unaware of the
important change he hurriedly put his
head up to the window aud said:
"One more sweet kiss, pet" In an
other instant the point of cotton UNI
brella was thrust from the window,
followed by the wrathful injunction,
"Seat, you grey headed wretch!" He
scatted.-Ex.
