MAY HAVE TROUBLE OVER LICENSES
That May BE the Difficulty OF Sussex
County Liquor Dealers in the
Future

hAAN
II is thought the liquor mon Of Sus-
sex county will experience much
trouble in the securing Of signers TO
their applications for the right to sell
intoxicating liquors.
The law reads that sisners must be
real estate holders, whose character
is beyond reproach, and a man high up
in Sussex politics in discussing the
matter last night, said
so many people have been corrupt
in the recent election, either buying or
selling votes. and the judges of the
court are aware Of many of them and
fer this reason they Will refuse to sane
ton a liquor license upon which their
names appear.
NOW I do not wish TO be quoted as
raying there are not enough honest
men in Sussex 20 sign the vouchers
Far from IL, but the majority OF free
holders viii not afiix their names tC
the application.
1t is those who have in the pasi
years been accustomed to placing theil
signatures TO these papers that it will
affect. and as the men now have
trouble in even securing these, Il is
safe to predict that some Of the town,
in the lower part Of the State will sc

For many years the Delaware farmer
has been endeavoring to rid ais peach
orchard of the dreaded San Jose scale.
which played such sad havoc with
Delawares principal product Of a few
years ago, and he has met with a GER

vered, and the result is gratifying. The
State Board of Agriculture has ISSUED
the following bulletin;
The San Jose Scale
"The san Jose scale is the wccss pes

minute insect. scarcely visible 70 the

to examine orchards to determine,

The Remedies
Digging out the trees, root ami

namely, when the trees have already
been made worthless. and again when
ouiy a few infested trees are found in
a young orchard, say not more than
two or three years old. When the scale
has once become well established for
several years, it is practically impOs-
sible to eXterminate IL even by cutting
out the infested trees, unless the whole
orchard is cut out If the trees are
not destroyed, they should be treated by
spraying as soon as discovered, and al
least twice a year Two sprayings G

hours ragged 355 feet in the air, on the
summit of the great steel tower on the
New York side. Three men who were
at work on the top Of the tower when
the fire broke out are reported to have
fallen into the river.
Owing to the enormous height OF the
tower It was impossible to reach the
fire with any apparatus in the fire de-
partment, and the flames, after devour-
ingall the woodwork on the top Of
the tower, seized on the timber false
work OF the two foot bridges suspend

of blazing lumber fell with a mighty
splash and hiss into the stream. The
fall of the foot bridge carried away
scores Of the lighter cables and guys,
which trailed in the water rendering II
necessary for the police to stop all
traffic up and down the river. The Fall
River steamer Puritan and several
other craft had narrow escapes while
running the gauntlet of fiery brands
that fell in showers from the burning
bridge The fire was the most spec

been seen in New York.
The fire started in a tool shed, and
from this spread to the great timber

The foot bridges fell, carrying with
them many tons Of bolts, rlvots, nut

AN EXTRA SESSION OF LEGiss
LATURE.

An extraordinary session Of the legis-
lature Is, we admit, under normal con-
iitions, something to be Stunned, .but
acute diseases sometimes demand be-
herioc treatment.
Mississippi is now on the high road
OF progress and development. The
natural resources Of the state are all
that is needed for great growth in the
near future, while the people are al
ways, ready to do their part 10 the for
ward movement.
But, capital, the essential element
To the states progress, ls.now SO handi-
capped by unfayorable laws that fur
ther advancement is hardly possible.
The inqulsltoriaI power given the
state revenue agent under the law,
with the twenty per cent incentive 20
delVe and dig threatens to drive all
surplus capital from the state.
If Mississippi banks must pay taxes
on their capital and surplus and then

ton factor'with $50, 900 capital invests
ed in his business desires to expand
and help the planters raise their crops

he will g0t0 Tennessee OF to LOuisis
any where he can borrow and loan
without payinga heavy tax on what
he owes. ~,
The state revenue laws should be
modified; the power OF the Revenue
agent should be abridged.
The great gathering OF taxpayers IN
the convention at VickSbuTg on May
2lst, favored an extra session Of the
legislature to modify the state Teve-
nue. laws, bat decided to wall on the
decision Of the Supreme court 10 GER
tain cases pending, before asking the
governor to call the legislature
into extraordinary session.
If Mississippi continues TO grow and
prosper, a few laws inimical to CAPT
tai in their operation must be modi-
fed or repealed.
The only way to have these laws
changed before 1904, is for the gover-
nor to call the legislature together in
extraordinary session.
The extra session will cost the state
thirty or forty thousand dollars-the
laws complained OF may cost the state

There is hardly a day that passes
but what we read in the papers OF
parties from Illinois and Indiana land
seekers headed for the Mississippi
Delta to secure tracts of its fertile
and cheap lands. The result of these
investigations will be that IN few
years the,complete trasfer of ownership
of these lands will be made to the
Northern farmers and capitalists,
who will at once raise the price like
their lands are today, out of the reach
of the Southern boys or girls. 1t
is time that our own Southern people
are awakenining to the realization OF
their duty, if not to self nor that OF
their children whose destinies they
hold in their hands, and as far as cir.

Holmes Coanty Progress: To the
white man who labors hard twelve
