"a history of Mississippi second edi-
ton, Lowry & McCargle, PIP. 1922
293. See also p. 33S.)
3. The four years Of civil strife.
4. The ten following years of mis-
rule.
5. The general, almost universal,
practice among your best born, best edu-
Gated and best equipped young men, of
confining their efforts to the learned
professions instead of qualifying them
selves for and embarking in CONNER
cial, manufacturing and other distinct
lively productive pursuits.
6. The extent to which these highly
gifted and educated young men have
settled in the great cities of the North
and West, and there made fortunes and
regulations which now tie them to
their adopted homes and cut them off
from that of their birth.
7. The restrictive policy embodied
in your constitution of 1890, and in the
tions.
8. The absolute control Of all civil
offices and all political power by one
party ever since the enfranchisement of
the state from the blighting effects of
"carpet bag rule'' in 1876.
Touching this last, you know am
neither politician nor a partisan, and
yet can't help saying that while such
domination by the democratic party was
necessity, that necessity ceased with
the disfranchisement of the more
grossly ignorant elements of the popu-
lation. Nor can I help thinking that
there are today, in Mississippi and
throughout the South, thousands of in
telligent, honorable and active men who
would, on strictly national issues, gladly
support the republican party (under
which, after all, the nation has pros
pered and is prospering), if only they
could retain full liberty to control their
own local affairs and their state poll
cies, as to them may seem best, without
dictation from Washington or elsewhere.
For this, things are ripe both at the
North and at the South. AS write,
the two senators from South Carolina
have rendered their designations, in or
der to join issue on what is substantially
the question here stated.
No state in the union is more favored
than Mississippi in the fertility Of it's
soil, in the value of it's standing timber,
or, above all, in the quality of it's men,
their almost absolutely pure American
blood and their descent from those who
went to make up the best of it. What,
then, is lacking to the material develop
ment of the state.

the present governor, the Hon. A. H.
Longino, on January Is, 1900, and from
his many public utterances and writ
ings.
From conversations and correspond
ence with the governor, am well con-
vinced that he has determined to do all
that lies in his power toward the mate
rial development of the state. His re-
cent "Good Roads Proclamation" is in
point.
That the cost per ton to railroad, of
carrying freight diminishes as the vol
ume increases, is automatic.
The staple crop of Mississippi is cot
ton, of which about 1876 pounds of lint,
and say twice as much more, 37O pounds
of seed, have in the United States,
been, on the average, produced in each
of the last twenty years. This yields,
all told, 555 pounds per acre.
The staple crop of Iowa and
other Northern states, is corn, of
which about % bushels, weigh
ing Sc pounds, or in all 1,4OO
pounds per acre, are produced annually.
That is to say, the potential tonnage
annually grown per acre in Mississippi
is less than four-tenths of that grown
per acre in Iowa.
Moreover, in 1890, the area of i'm
proved land in farms in Iowa was 25,-
42S, 1899 acres as against 6, $40 800 acres in
Mississippi.
These conditions greatly and perma-
nently restrict the volume of the local
business of your railroads, the receipts
from which form, as is well known, the
life blood of railroad revenues.
Traffic in Mississippi is further di-
minished by the absence Of minerals of
all kinds. Irrespective of coal hauled
for the company's consumption, the Illi-
nois Central railroad last year carried as
freight for others, 5,593,676 tons of coal
and coke. None of this was produced,
and but little of it was consumed, in
Mississippi. You will better appreciate
the magnitude of our coal tonnage
when say that it weighed greatly more
than twice as much as did the entire
cotton crop of the United States, which
amounted to 9,439,55 bales, weighing
2,377 1916 tons.
Diversified Crops.
A knowledge of the radically different
conditions surrounding railroad business
in Mississippi, and in the Northern
states, led us, more than twenty years
ago, to promote the diversification of
crops, by inducing fruit culture, mixed
farming and stock raising. Attention
was also given from the start to develop
ing the lumber trade, thereby convert
ing the forests, which had numbered the
ground from time immemorial, to man. S
