The Penitentiary Farms.

Warden Jenkins, who has Just re-
Turned from an inspection Of the con
vict farms, makes rather a gloomy report
OF the crop outlook. He states that the
damage done by the worms is p Ter
cent, and on some places more, Cscn
crops on all the places are remarkably
fine, He figures that he can feed. clothe.
guard and pay all other expenses of the
convicts at s.. 80 per convict. II lie can
do this there seems - be no reason
why the penitentiary, with good man
agemeut should not produce a large
eyenue to the State. Many people
doubt whether it can be made to pay ex-
penses or not, Those OF other States,
however, the figures show, have been
far more than selt-sustaining, and it is
hoped the present system will result
the same way when the same Is fully
inaugurated. 1t is not expected that Ii
will do SO the first few years. If it pays
expenses during that time the State
will consider itself fortunate.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.

8 considerable variety in the condition
Of these staples. The general tenor OF
tssse reports, however, goes TO show a
greater or less falling off in the cotton
crop over the entire State. In many
localities frequent rains during the
early part Of August followed by dry
weather has caused cotton 10 shed con-
siderably, while blight, rust, worms and
other pests have greatly reduced the
crop elsewhere. Cotton picking con-

Throughout the Delta and neigshor-
ing sections the excellency Of the col
crop is pronounced as Unprecedented
Elsewhere reports are at variance,
though, generally speaking, this staple
is in good condition, and a phenome-
nslly large crop is assured.
The hay crop is reported to be fine
aud hay making is being pushed with
nluch success.
Fall gardens and all small crops are,
as a rule, in good condition.

MISTAKE OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Defeated by Their Insane Force Bill Issue
In 1892.

Chairman Marley Of the national re
publican executive committee eX-
presses with candor the opinion that
his party made a great mistake about
the force bill issue, aud should have
dropped 1t eight years before they did,
This is retrospective and historical,
but it is interesting and undoubtedly
true. We imagine Mr.. Manley says no
more than his former chieftain, the
Hon. James G. Blaine, would say if he
were living now, or would have said
with entire frankness If questioned on
the subject at any time within four
years before his death.
We believe, furthermore, that the re-
mark OF Mr.. Marley expresses the
present convictions of Hon. Thomas b.
Reed on the subject. The force bill
issue in lsa? was primarily and pc
culiarly the creation of Gen. Harrison,
and it defeated him and elected Mr..
Cleveland.
There Is no probability that the
democratic campaign of 1896, whoever

of the senate. The surrender to tho
sugar trust and the "hold-up' OF the
Wilson bill by the sugar, iron, coal
and transportation rings, angered the
democratic voters, and justly. But the
important extension OF the free list
and the reduction OF duties on the nee

approval of the great popular MAORI

1890 and again in 1892.

Mi.i.sippi's Natural Resources.

Mississippi, from being one of the
poorest, has attained excellent rank
among the Southern States. Its wealth
is now valued at Sl10,62., 1913, and its
natural resources and capabilities are
not half developed. Its numberless
streams Of clear running water afford
ample motive power for the operation
OF various kinds OF factories, which, If
built, could find sufficient raw material
within wagon distance to keep them
running for several generations. The
forests abound in valuable timbers, the
hillsides arc dotted with woody ami
mails, and the fields overflow with the
ieecy staple, With cooperation, in
dustry and good business management
Mississippi's wealth would soon be
second to no State Of the Union.
