The Republican party's history
from the close of the Civil War is
an almost continuous chapter of
scandals. At every opportunity
it has raided the public Treasury.
It has made thousands of unnec-
essary Offices and filled them with
party hacks and henchmen who
have done dirty work for the party.
It has favored all reforms and vio-
lated every law which was enacted
to inaugurate or enforce them. 1t
has wasted the public moneys in
every conceivable manner which
ingenuity can suggest or corrup-
ton invent. During the Spanish
War speculation entered into al
most every Government contract.
Favorites were enriched at every
touch of the public service. The
army was abused by appointing
unworthy persons to office, which
weakened the efficiency of the SER
vice and imperiled the lives of the
soldiers who had answered the
call for volunteers. Ignorance
and inefficiency and even corrup-
ton have been overlooked or con-
doned. The Constitution has been
violated, the laws disregarded,
authority usurped. A country
has been siezed on the plea that
our Republican Administration
bought it and holds the inhabitants
thereof were covered in the bill
of sale. Millions upon millions of
money have been expended and
thousands of soldiers have been
killed or have died in hospitals or
in insane asylum. Thousands of
Filipinos have been slain; their
harvest destroyed, their homes
turned into ashes. The national
Administration this day is fighting
to make subject, not free men,
And all this is not in conformity
with the Constitution, the laws, the
policy or past history of country
but is open violation of all.

A MOlaSSeS
Cannery

There is no better place in the
State for a molasses cannery
than right here at Poplarvllle.
This pine land produces the
very finest kind of sugar cane
which makes the best favored
syrup in the world. If a large
mill and cannery were put in
here the farmers could find a
market for their cane which, at
the least calculation, would net
them $4,000 per acre. This
molasses canned right from the
evaporation will keep pure and
fresh indefinitely and bring fancy
prices in all the markets of the
country. A stock company
could be organized and sufficient
capital raised here at home TO
put in a plant with sufficient Ca
pacity to handle the cane raised
here. If this matter is taken up
and a cannery established, 1t
will only be a matter of time be-
fore it will develop into a sugar
refinery, because when the cane
industry is once started in this
piney woods it will grow to
large proportions. The people
in South Mississippi are losing
time by not giving more atten-
ton to the agricultural interests
of this section, because expert
ments have shown that this is
the garden spot of the South.
Some of the land is now worth
more without the timbe than
with it, and all because OF its
productive qualities. Money
invested now in a mill and can
merry will yield large dividends in
very few years. We know of
several men who will invest
largely in cannery and let
others who will, speak out, and
get their names on the list.

Mr.. Geo. H. Smith,
G. p. A, N. O. & n. E. r. r.,
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of December 10
has been received. l looked up
the matter OF available maps in
Mississippi quite carefully an
found only two, one a map OF
Yazoo County and the other of a
county Immediately north of that
area. We made soil survey of
about 40 square miles based on
the Yazoo county map. This
carried us about Is miles out in
to the Delta, and the conditions
were so interesting there that |
had the party extend their
work to the Mississippi River,
which is about 80 miles west
of Yazoo City. They have
been able to complete a small
strip across, nine miles wide
north and south, which gives us
a very good idea OF the d:stribu-
ton Of the soils il the Delta.
The results have surprised me
very much. For example, in the
Yazoo portion Of the Dalta we
found IS per cent of the lands
subject TO overflow, of fine tex
ture and waxy in character, eX-
ccedingly rich chemically, and
supporting a large forest growth,
vet which are not cultivated at
all on account OF the annual over
flow. The floods su0side 50 late
IN the spring that notwithstand-
ing the fact that the soils are dry
throughout the remainder of the
season, very few successful at
tempts have been made to cul-
tivate these lands. The cultiva-
ton of these areas will require
either that they be diked, which
l think could be done at reason
able cost, or that a shortcr-l1ved
crop be found which can be plant
ed and relied upon to mature
after the floods have subsidized.
We also found some other
possibilities of new methods of
cultivation. For instance found
soil there on the bluff lands
which is identical with the soils
of Kansas where alfalfa is grown,
and do not think there is any
doubt that the same crop can be
grown successfully on the like
type in Mississippi. Such possi-
bilities are constantly coming up
in the course of a soil survey,
and we are doing all we can to
extend the work wherever they
appear.
In the survey Of this area in
Yazoo County we were able to
use the county map, with some
few corrections; but we had to
make our own base map in the
Delta beyond the county line.
From what | have seen of the
county maps of Mississippi, |
fear that most of them are not
sufficiently accurate for our use.
Our soil mapping is done on a
scale of one inch to the mile,
which enables us to show the
the soils in great detail, our unit
being a ten acre field. We con-
slider this essential for the great
