THE PEARSAlL SUIT.
Arguments in the Great Northern Case
Begun Before Judge SanbOrn.

Begun Before Judge SanbOrn.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 2a--One of the most
important railroad law suits that has
been tried here in some time was begun
during the day before Judge Sanborn,
sitting in the United States circuit
court. 1t is the injunction suit of
Thomas w. Pearsall, a stakeholder in
the Great Northern railroad, to restrain
the officers of that road from carrying
through the deal for the control of the
Northern Pacific. AS far as the direct
interests of the parties to the action are
concerned the suit is not of material
consequence, but the final outcome is
expected tO be SO far-reaching in its ef
feet and the public interest III the reOr-
ganiZation scheme is so great that the
action becomes Of the utmost import
ance. The public interest is shown by
the Large number ct leading attorneys
who are spectators at the hearing.
Asks an Injunction.
PearSail is tho holder Of 500 shares of
Great Northern l,Ock. the face value of
which is 800 pc: share, and he asks for
the injunction on the ground that his
interests are likely TO suffer if the Great
Northern is permitted to guarantee the
interest on the bonds Of the Northern
Pacific, as the reorganization scheme
proposes The Great Northern officials
have maintained that the suit was only
Il friendly action to settle the legal diff
culties in the way Of carrying out the
proposed consolidation. but the manner
in which the plaintiff and his attorneys
are fighting the case seems to prove the
contrary.
Attorney General Childs is an inter
ested spectator from the jury box, being
present to look after the interests of the
state. President Hill himself is also
present, and seated all around are Il
number of leading attorneys of the city,
who drop in occasionally to watch the
proceedings.
The Argument Begun.
Attorney Kellogg read the answer to
the complaint in which defendant holds
that the consummation of the deal with
the Northern Pacific would result most
advantageously to the Great Northern
and would not depreciate the value of
the stock as plaintiff contends. At
torney Horn then began his address for
the plaintiff, going into the history of
the roads at some length. He declared
the two systems were competitive lines
and the proposition to consolidate was
in violation Of the statutes.
Colonel Grover followed Mr.. Horn in
| brief statement of the case for the de-
fense, leaving the main argument to
| Senator Davis. The senator began
speaking Just before adjournment and
| the bulk Of his argument was confined
to quotations from decisions in cases
involving points similar to those raised
| in this one.

THEY SHOULD BE MEN.

A great duty will devolve upor
the Democrats of Attala count,
this year, and we trust that they
will meet it with their accustomed
intelligence and courage. We re.
fer to the advisability, nay, the
vital necessity, of selecting good
and true men as their candidates
for Office. This should be the rule
always, but this year it is of special
Importance.
The enemy's craftiest leaders
will be the opposition candidates.
They are chronic ofice-seekers and
spoilsmen. They will stop st
nothing to compass Democracy's
defeat, and, if they are elected,
taxpayers will rue the day.
They should be opposed by strong
men of Intelligence and honesty,
who have the confidence of the
people and who, if elected, would
would reflect credit on the Offices
and on their constituencies.
1t will require an effort to elect
our candidates after they are NOM
mated. For this reason, also,
we should select our strongeet t
men; Right here we suggest that,
in addition to good moral and
mental attainments, pure Democ.
racy should be an important requi-
site. Our candidates should be
clean-cut and unequivocal in their
political creeds. We can't afford
to have any of them throwing
sop to Populism. A halfway
Democrat would stand no chance
against an all-the-way Populite.
Let every Democratic candidate
stand fair and square by the prin-
ciples of his party.
Let every candidate be a MAN

LET IT BE EARLY.

Chairman Smythe has issued a
call for a meeting Of the Democrat
lc county committee on the first
Monday in March. We presume
the object Of the meeting is to con-
slider the method of nominating
State and county cannidates and
the time for the nominations. In
calling the committee together so
early the chairman shows a cour-
teous Difference to the wishes Of the
party. We earnestly trust that
this early meeting will be followed
up by an early primary election
and that the names of all candi-
dates from Governor to Constable
will be put on the ticket. We do not
believe there is a Democrat in At
tala county but endorses this plan.
The STAR has interviewed nearly
all the candidates so far announced,
and to man they favor an early
primary (not later than June) and
the people are with them. We
would suggest that each commit
teeman ascertain for himself the
will of the people and act accord
ingly.
Nearly all of those we have spo-
ken to, suggest June as a proper
month for the primary, but of
course this rests with committee.
The latter will remember, howev-
er, that contest carried beyond
that period is liable to cngender
strife and bitterness of feeling.

four years old and expenses to that are
is not great deal, and as the 5000, 900
boxes we were shipping did not bring
as much money into the State as did
$500, 900 five years ago, consequently
we that had some old trees are con.
graduating ourselves that we will, for
a while at least, get remnnerative

true, great deal of land in this State

THE AGRICULTURAL CRISIS.

THE AGRICULTURAL CRISIS.
We trust that every farmer anC
business man in Attala county viii
read and ponder over the article
on the above subject by Prof
| Walter Maxwell, of New Orleans
which is published elsewhere ii
this paper. 1t is the most concise
and logical presentation OF the
facts in the case that we have ever
seen in print 1t will give many
new ideas to every man who reads
it. Prof. Maxwell takes up the
business depression pervading the
South due to the low price of cot
ton, tells the causes that tend to
produce it, and the best remedies
for it. He writes under five head
ings, discussing the following
points;
I. He shows that the American
supply does not control the price
of the worlds crop Of cotton, and
that therefore a reduction of cotton
acreage in the South, instead of
increasing the price, will merely
stimulate foreign production of cot
ton.
2. The increasing supply of
wool and its constantly falling
price have made the latter product
a strong competitor of cotton in
the markets, greatly lessening the
demand for the South's staple
product
3. Cotton lands have become
exhausted and it requires more
land and expense to make a bale
Of cotton now than formerly.
4. Farmers will have to adopt a
A more intensive system of farm
ing. There is more money in
few acres worked we'll than in ma
ny acres less thoroughly cultivated.
5. Diversified crops must be
raised. A farmer should first raise
all the food stuffs that he, his ten
ants and his cattle require and all
hat he can sell. The next step is
o raise meat and compete with
he West in furnishing this COM
modify to manufacturing centres,
Southern cities. The
writer advises also the raising of
heep and tobacco.
6. Lastly, Prof. Maxwell ex-
presses his opinion that future
does not hurt the price
If cotton Che is probably wrong,
lere) and winds up by advising
not to strive for a shorter
rop, but to make a large crop on
reduced acreage in the manner
le sets forth.
On the whole, the article is most !
ensible and timely and cannot fail |
. be productive of great good if
