We learn that a bill has been Il

We learn that a bill has been In
troduced into the Legislature il
regard to the Ten Cent Levet
Titles which has been asserted BY
the Levee Board. and which at
fects a large proportion of the
property owned in this Levee
District. The bill as to individual
land owners is practically that In
troduced at the instance of the
Land Owners League. The Rail
road Company is excepted from
the operation Of the bill, and pro-
poses to. effect a compromise with
the Levee Board if all litigation
with the State and Levee Board
can be ended, which will quiet the
titles of the Railroad and protect
its vendees. In making this set
tlement,the representatives of the
Railroad Company urged that in
dividual nf6wners should be al
lowed to adquire the title of the
board for nominal consideration.
and the bill which has been agreed
upon and introduced is in con-
siderable measure due to the eff
forts of the Railroad Company to
this end.
The land owners and taxpayers
were represented in the matter by |
Mr.. JAS. r. Yerger, and the bill
agreed upon between him and Mr..
Sillers, tho attorney for the Levee
Board, is largely due to the efforts
of Mr.. Yerger.
Mr.. Fred Clark, member of
the Levee Roard from Bolivar
county, was the only member of
the Levee Board in Jackson, and
be strenuousIy espoUsed the cause
of the taxpayers, urging the pas
sage of the bill that the Land
Owners League advocated, and if
these titles are settled by means
of the pending bill the taxpayers
will owe large debt of gratitude
10 Mr.. Clark for his efforts in their
0ebalf.

COTTON MILLS IN THE NILE

only few years ago, there appeared
no surer road to fortune than the es.
adjustment of a well-equipped cotton
mill at Bombay. Owing to the cheap
ness of the raw material and of native
labor, together with practically
limitless local demand, the venture
had all the chief governing circum-
stances in its favour. A large amount
OF capital consequently found employ
ment In the industry, and for some
time, handsome profits were realized.
Very different is the present state of
things at the Western capitol; large
number of mills have already closed
their doors, while the others only
work half-time, and experience great
difficulty In doing even that The main
reason for this sudden change from
prosperity to adversely is said to he the
large and continuous purchases of
Indian cotton by Japanese mill-owners
for expectation to their own country.
They can. 1t is affirmed, work it up so
much more cheaply than their Bombay
rivals find practicable as 10 be able to
underselI the latter even after adding
freight charges to the cost of produc-
ton. Yet the daily wage of the Bonn
bay mill-hands is, we believe, rarely
more than the equivalent for slxpence
in British currency, while fuel is as
cheap as in Japan. Unless, therefore.
labor is much lower priced in the is
lands than in India, it is difficult to
how Japanese mili-owners
can afford to outbid those in the Wes-
tern Presidency Tor the raw material. |
Be the explanation what it may, we
have in evidence the important fact
hat ample room exists for the extern
lon of cotton cultivation in our Asiatic
Umpire.

So far the vegetation and early
paintings in and about Greenville
have escaped with comparatively
any damage. The fruit crop has
also practically escaped any dam
age and the prospects are that
the truck crop around Greenville
will be unusually largo this sea-
son. The vegetable supply in our
city this season has been all that
could be expected and a blessing
to the thousands who depend en-
tirely on the market supply. The
truck farmers find ready sale for
all their yield, and in fact, the de-
mand is too great for the supply.

The appointment of Hon. Pat

dorse the last incumbent, and will
see that he only plays in his back

passed urging the representatives

best interest of all.
Tuesday the taxpayers of coun-

pass resolutions urging same. M.

man and w. Thos. Rose, cashier
of Merchants and Planters Bank,

representative one and fully rep
resented the feelings of the entire

The Democrat seems 10 think
that the agitation calling for q
"good man" to be appointed on
the Levee Board from this county
has not been met by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Abe Blum, and that
the movement for a "good man"
has proven abortive. We have
rather been of the opinion that
Mr.. Blum was appointed In re-
Spouse to this demand, and with
the idea of giving the district an
able business man on the board
who would endeavor to have it
managed on business principles,
and not run for the reward of par
tisans out of money raised by tax
alton. We are sorry the appoint
ment does not meet with the
Democrats approval.

fore.
From the published report OF
the Treasurer of the board THE
TINES demonstrated that 80 per
cent of the revenues of the board
went into permanent levee build
ing, as shown by that report up to
July 1898, and 26 per cent of such
rev enues went into permanent le-
wee building, as shown by that re-
port in July 1899.
This demonstration has never
been lmpugned, and is based upon
published reports. The force of
it is sought to be broken in the
article published in the Democrat
by dividing the money collected
by taxation into q certain head, de-
signated ''not valuable funds"
and then showing that Il large per
centage of certain other funds,
which the article sees fit to desig-
nate as AVAILABLE funds" went into
DIRT. This does not indirectly
even contradict the statement in
The TIMES. The question in
which the taxpayers are interested
is not as to what of this or that
or the other fund went into levee
building, but what proportion of
the entire revenues of the board
raised by taxation was devoted to
permanent levee building. Even
the statement contained in the
Democrats article does not help
the question. 1t shows that the
