RAIL LINE TO STATE FARM.

A prominent official of the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley Railroad was
here last week to lay before the board
of control a proposition to build q
branch line of the Yazoo Delta road
out from little station called Parch-
man to some central point on the new
state farm in Sun1ower county. The
line will be about six miles long, and
the railroad company proposes to lay
the track provided the state will do
the grading. AS the board of control
was not in session, the proposition
could not be considered but will be
presented at the next meeting. Better
access to the railroad is one of the
great needs of the new plantation, and
it is reasonably certain that the state
will make such provision.

BEATEN AND ROBBED.

Hattiesburg Henry Wells, who
lives near this place, was followed as
he was going home, by three negroes,
who, overtaking him three miles
south on the Northeastern Railroad,
Knocked him down and, after beating
him numerically and cutting him in
several places with knife, robbed
him of fine watch and $50 in money.
He was brought to this place and put
in the South Mississippi Infirnary,
where his wounds were dressed. He
fully described the negroes, and one
Of them was arrested Saturday morn
ing as he was in the act of leaving on
a train. The prisoner was carried be-
fore Mr. Wells and was fully identi-
fed. Later in the evening it WAS re-
ported that another ono was arrested
and is now in Jail with the one ar
rested in the morning. There is some
talk of lynching the negroes, but there
is not much probability that it will
be carried into effect. The third ne
gro, no doubt, will be arrested in q
few days, as he is well known in this
city. The wounds of Mr.. Wells are
not serious and he will recover.

STATE FARM ROAD
Sale Of |. | and c. Lands
Farmers Institutes to Be Held
--MisCellaneOus Notes.

Jackson, Miss State Superintend-
ent Whitfield will make highly i'm
portant recommendation to the next
Legislature, looking to the improve
ment of the public school system of
the state
The change he will urge will be to
secure greater local self government
to the public schools and to place the
regular schools throughout the coun-
ties on footing similar to that en-
joyed by the special schools in the
municipalities.
The greatest handicap under which
those labor who are striving to ex-
tend the benefits of the free schools is
the shortness of the terms and the
resulting slow work accomplished in
educating the children. The state
now provides for four months pub
counties the schools close at the end
cf that time The counties, however,
are empowered to levy tax annually
on all taxble property for the purpose
of maintaining the schools after the
expiration of the four months re-
quired by the constitution, and some
vision but the majority levy no such
tax, and consequently close down
after four months.
1t is superintendent Whitfield s
purpose to grant this power to tax to
every regular school in the counties,
and thus to secure to them the right
to run as long as their patrons may
desire. The schools in the towns and
cities are recognized to be vastly su-
perior to those in the country and
this marked difference is ascribable
to the fact that the municipalities
tax themselves to extend their terms
and enlarge their facilities. This
power of local taxation is now denied
to the regular schools, and to secure
to them this privilege will be the OBJ
ject of the state superintendent S
efforts. He says large number of
communities all over the state would
avail themselves Of such law should
it be passed.
1t Is contemplated that the levying
of this special tax shall be left to
the people of each school district and
the funds that are thus raised shall
be placed in the county treasury to
the credit of that particular school.
All the details of the plan have not
yet been worked out, but the state
superintendent will set it forth fully
in his next biennial report.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

At least forty farmers institutes
will be held during this summer in
the various counties of the state for
the purpose of affording the farmers
valuable and needed information
about the capacities of soils and i'm
proved methods of agriculture. These
institutes will be under the direction
of the Mississippi Experiment Station
at Starkville W. L Hutchinson, di-
rector of the station, states that ap-
plications for them are coming in
steadily and by the end of the month
he expects the list of those counties
desiring them to be practically COM
plete. He says that possibly as many
ms fifty institutes will be held during
this summer. The last legislature
made an appropriation to maintain
them and the counties will be put to
no expense whatever, but in spite Of
this some of them seem to have some
difficulty in making up their minds
as to whether they want them or not.
They will be of particular advantage
to the farmers and will afford them
valuable information as to the most
practical methods Of getting the best
results from their labors.
