Some jackson correspondents to the
city papers, and others, have written
and talked 50 long and increasingly
concerning the probable collapse Of the
state capitol building that people
thr ough the state became so alarmed
as to cause the holding Of the state
convention in the deaf and dumb
asylum, with seating capacity of only
about 4OO-less than the Grenada opera
house-when at least 1900 delegates
will be present. While the capitol
building is badly In need Of repair and
has a bad appearance from scenic
standpoint, the idea that there is any
real danger Of lis falling in is all bosh.
We were in jackson recently and some
of the leading citizens there ridicule
the idea that the building is in a dan
gerous condition, and state that the
onvention should he held there where
there Is room to accommodate all the
delegates and many visitors besides.

A COMMISSIONERS OF IMMIGRATI0N

While we realize that Mississippi is
already overburdened with officials and
taxes SO greatly that any suggestion in
the way OF adding to the array II pub
lie servants will be looked upon with
disfavor, yet there is one vacant chair
which we believe could.b filled by some
ahle man, With great benefit to the
state, and that chair is labeled "Com-
missioner Of Immigration" SOafar as
this state is known abroad the adver-
Using is done solely by its patriotic
newspapers and individuals who sing
its praises because they are proud OF
their native state and the resources it
contains. There is no systematic ef.
fort made to attract settlers or capital
to our state, which is as good, and
better than others which continue year
after year to reap harvest Of land
buyers and home seekers. The Pacific
coast states, for instance, and Canada,
send out each year millions Of panph-
lets, handsomely illustrated and we'll
calculated to impress the reader. State
officials superintend this work, and in
many other ways attract attention TO
and advertise their country, with the
result that those seeking new loca-
tion are naturally attracted and inter-
ested by what may fall into their hands
in connection with country unknown
to them.
We feel sure that that 4 Commis-
sioner of Immigration could earn his
salary in Mississippi by spreading be-
fore the people of other sections the
merits and advantages that lie within
its favored borders, and by attracting
home seekers this way. Other states
have such officials and their systematic
work is counting for progress, wealth
and population.

IN REGARD 10 PRIMARY ELECTIONS

ing primary elections-especially by
those who were defeated in them, or
by those who placed their hopes on the
wrong man. 1t is possible that many
OF these complaints contain consider
able merritt Is more than possible
that in many instances the privileges
granted have been overstepped and
that frauds have been perpetrated, but
taken all in all, the primary system is
all right. 1t is democratic In the true
sense of the word, and the results speak
the voice of the people.
The primary system has come to stay,
even if it is looked upon with disfavor
by the professional politicians. Iu
one respect: though, this system
should be remedied, as has already
been suggested by some Of the brethren
of the press, by having the primaries
held in all the counties on the same
day. This would stop, to a great ex'
tent, the trading, wire-pulling and
"striking" which has been loudly com
planned Of, and it would also relieve
state candidates from many weeks OF
arduous toll among those who farm
out" the votes in various sections
And then again, Democratic primaries
should be for Democrats-white
Democrats. The time has not yet
come when the Democratic party o.
Mississippi needs the negro in its po'
litical business. With little purg
ing and few more restrictions the
primary law will be all right.

The RAIDS and Monkeys,

The Gadsden (Ala.) Tribune says:
II Southern planters carry out the
scheme to educate and train monkeys
to pick cotton, and do other useful
field work, IL may cause another war
between the North and South. When
thousands of them ars shipped into the
country and put to work in the cotton
fields Of the South, the Republican
party OF the North will organize
another war in the interest Of universal
freedom, and when they have over
powered the South again and set the
monkeys free, will have them all
voting the Republican ticket from con.
stable TO President.

Here ia how a Georgia farmer makeI

Here ia how a Georgia farmer makes
money. There are more ways than
one to bring out wealth from Mother
earth. An exchange says:
A farmer of Twigs county. Ca, on
the Southern Railway, carries business
into farming, 80 that he makes a sue
cess in that line OF work. He is en-
gagged largely in the hay business, and
sold 500 worth last year, which he cut
from piece of land that had yielded
5000 worth of melons the same season.
He sows down his peas after he gathers
the melons. This year he will plant a
large acreage in melons, and expects to
make on the same land At least 1900
bales of pea vine hay. He expects the
hay will bring him about $4,000. He
knows that cotton is not the only money
crop, and acts accordingly.

ARE BEING ABSORBED.
Observation-Disclosures Of Con.
Quoting These Farms.

Since the opening up Of the great
Dalrymple farm, about the year 1875,
this state has been pretty we'll covered
with large or "bonanza" farms. Many
have been subdivided and sold OF in
small lots, of late years, to meet the
demand of the ever increasing tide Of
immigration of homeseekers to this
Western country, which will eventu-
ally absorb all the large farms, to the
advantage of the towns and country
generally, because of the increased
population. Nevertheless, it will be
many years before these large holdings
will be done away with, and, they GER
tainly have done much to bring the eX-
IRENE fertility Of the soil and its adapt
ability for the successful raising Of
wheat to the notice of the country and
world at large. AS it may be of some
interest to Eastern parties, unacquain-
ted with style of conducting large
farms, 1 will endeavor to give some of
the details as to how the work Is &C.
complished. Though the large farms
range in acreage from 64O acres Zone
section) to $4,000 acres or more, the
larger are usually subdivided into divi-
siOns Of about four sections, or 1850
acres in each subdivision, with a resi-
dent superintendent over each. In the
early days, the land was continuously
cropped with grain, year after year.
Now, in order to obtain the best results
1t is necessary to summer-fallow or
plant with corn or other hoed crop
about every third or fourth year. Ger.
tain varieties of corn can be success
fully grown and will mature almost
without failure, and the acreage is in
creasing yearly, with giant strides. As
a rule the corn Is fed in the stalk from
the shock to the horses and cattle, dur
ing the winter months of idleness and
the hogs pick what is left. The usual
buildings on a bonanza farm consist Of
q dwelling house for the superintend-
ent or owners family, a boarding
house for the workmen, stable, gran
airy, blacksmith shop, implement or
machinery hall and buildings for hogs
