The occasional large profits from
growing tobacco were much moro
common formerly than OF late years.
The business IL no longer confined to
a few localities. Even those who
have grown the crop longest and best
understand its needs are doubtful
whether It pays better than the same
labor and care would give In other
crops, to say nothing Of the extra skill
which Is more necessary for the grow
er OF tobacco than anything else.
Tobacco must have the richest land
on the farm, and as 1t returns nothing
TO the soil while taking its most valua-
bic elements. 1t Is hard to keep tobac-
co farms from growing poor. Thus
the high product Of single acre is
hardly O safe rule to prove its profit
ableness. Much labor and expensive
buildings are required. When the to-
bacco crop Is given up much OF the
valuable capital invested must be
sacrificed. Many farmer would like
10 stop growing the crop but his to-
bacco land Is too rich for anything
else. and the rest OF his farm has be-
come too poor for profitable working.

In the neighborhood Of cities and
large villages market gardening offers
advantages 10 those adapted to the
business But not more than one man
in twenty will make a success OF
market gardening, because only In
that proportion are individuals adapt
ed to that sort Of work. Tho same is
true OF the poultry business and bee
keeping. But there are certain lines
which form a sort Of common ground.
Among these Is the keeping OF cows

The Brookhaven leader., 1890-07-31
\ Suggestion for the COustitu-
tiOnal Convention.

I The LEADER wishes as the meeting
of the Constitutional Convention is
near ut hand, to renew suggestion
it made several weeks ago touching
the levce district.
Would it not he we'll for the con
vention to define the counties of the
levee district, create ievee board
and give it full jurisdiction of all levee
matters, and thus remove the subject
from the consideration of future Leg
islatures altogether Twice within
recent years there have been urgent
Calls made for special sessions of the
Legislature TO consider levee 1egisla-
ton exclusively, and the citizens OF
that section of the State have felt ag-
grieVcd because all the rest of the
State did not willingly consent to the
expense of these extra sessions for
their benefit. Besides, much of the
time of regular sessions of the Legis-
lature has been consumed in the con-
sideration of lcvce legislation, which
could have been just as well or better
formulated by board created for that
purpose, without burdening the whole
State with the expense.
This lcvee board should be elected
in the levee district and its powers
should be made so ample that the bal
ancc of the State should have no con-
Germ with it. Moreover, if exclusive
jurisdiction of all levee matters were
transferred to IL board created for that
purpose, it would no doubt go long
way toward reconciling the Delta
counties to the surrender of their rep
resentation in the Legislature based
on their heavy negro population, if,
in the Judgment of the Convention,
the curtailment of that representation
should be deemed essential to insure
perpetual white supremacy i'll the leg
islatiye department of the State gov
ernmeht.
What have brother McNeily and
other representatives of the Delta to
say to the suggestion ?

Major GOvan for q Model.

The statue of a Confederate soldier,
with which the monument now in
course of construction will be capped,
will be Chiseled to represent Maj.
Geo. NJ. GOvan, Secretary of State,
who was selected as being a true rep
resentative of the typical rebel sold
Ter. Several photographs of the gal
liant Major have been taken, repre-
senting him in various positions, but
the one decided on is standing with
his arms crossed over the muzzle of his
musket, as if at rest. He has ON a
fatigue jacket and cap, with his KNAPP
sack on his back and bayonet at his
side. Taking it all in all, the selection
of Maj. GOvan, who was a gallant re-
bel officer, could hardly be improved
on and the position of the statue is
excellent. The statue will be five feet
high making the entire monument so
feet and four inches. Mr.. Whitehead,
the contractor, expects to complete
the job sometime in September

Constitutional Conventions.

On August 18th, 1917, a Conven-
ton assembled at Washington, Adams
county, Mississippi territory.
This Convention framed the first
Constitution, under which the State
was organized and admitted into the
Union.
September 10, 1882, second Con
vention was convened at jackson,
Kinds county, and framed new Con-
sttution.
January It'll, 1861, third Conven-
ton assembled at Jackson and passed
the ordinance of Secession.
Aug. IA, 1865, a fourth Convention
met at Jackson and declared the or
dinance of Secession void.
February 1868, fifth Convention
assembled at Jackson, and framed a
new Constitution which was submit
ted to vote of the people and defeat
ed; afterwards a new election was or
dered by Congress and the amended
Constitution adopted.
The Convention which meets in
Jackson next month will be the sixth
one.
