Ex-Congressman Allen is in
Washington City where he appear
ed before the interstate commerce
commission in behalf of the Aber-
deem Group Of cities in Northeast
Mississippi who had filed complaint
against the Mobile and Ohio and
Southern railroads for unjust dis
elimination in freight rates in favor
otMeridian and Mobile. The ground
of complaint which was presented
to the commission was based on
what is known in railroad circles
as the long and short haul, which
has been the source of much worry
to intermediate points between the
larger cities. The position is TAX
en- by the complainants that the
railroads should not be permitted
to charge nor for hauling goods
from such distributing points as
St. Louis and other northern and
western cities to the nearer points,
than the rate that is made to such
places as Meridian and Mobile;
but rather that a rate should be
made equitably fixing the rate for
the distance hauled. Mr.. Aliens
argument before the commission
was forceful, and numerous apt il
Illustrations we're used to establish
his ground Of contention. The
complaint of the merchants in the
several towns is a righteous one
and the Interstate commission
should see that the evil which has
been practiced so long is remedied.
No valid reason can be advanced
to establish the contention of the
railroads that they have such a
right to discriminate in favor of
certain cities and they should be
brought to terms by the commits
sion. Now, that the case has been
ably presented to the proper
authorities, We hope to soon have
a decision that will settle this vex-
ed question in favor Of right and
justice.

Lee County Lands,

The present season still finds
farm lands ranging at prices that q
few years back would have been
considered fabulous. What has
brought about the rise in the price
is a matter of conjecture. We
have pretty much the same condi-
ton of affairs; cotton and corn
range about the same in price ms it
has done for a number of years.
and the productive power of the
land has been increased only in
some instances. But the people
want land and land they will have
if someone can be found to sell it.
The price does not seem to be the
consideration, but the title of the
man who is willing to sell is gener-
ally the only obstacle in the way.
Of course only a few trades fall
through for lack of a good abstract
of title.
The best reason in our opinion
that can be assigned for the high
price of our farm lands is the dis
position Of the people to settle
permanently IN Lee county and
make this their home. The west.
ern fever has died out and the
longing to try fortune in the
gloriously pictured west has de.
parted with the rainbow hues il
which that country was painted
Many of our people have tried the
country west of the Mississippi
and the reports that come back
are not encouraging. Those of Ut
who have stayed at home have
come to a full realization of the
fact that we have a fine country
for the man of average means anC
we ars going to content ourselves
here. 1t ie a good omen to SCI
people buying land and improvin!
them; il means better citizenship
better times, independence in
dividually and a comm unity of in
terests collectively. We are gla(
to see this state of affairs; we hav'
an abiding faith in the county an,
we are proud to know that he
people almost to a man share thi
faith IN her future.

New Orleans as a Distributing Point.

The movement on foot to make
OF New Orleans the distributing
point OF the cotton grown in the
United States to the various coun-
tries of the world is one Of
gigantic proportions and will re-
quire unlimited money to carry it
into effect. The seat of the cotton
business should be some point
within the region where cotton is
grown and no reason exists that
Liverpool or Manchester should be
the center of its distribution. At
one time Liverpool held the posi-
ton without dispute, but the drift
Of manufacturing to the section
where the staple is accessible re-
moves the necessity of a distribu-
ting point on the continent of
Europe. The gentleman at the
head of this movement, Col.
Jerome Hill, is In touch with the
great cotton interests of the coun-
try and is familiar with the details
of handling such a vast article of
commerce. Col. Hill is also con.
nected with the round bale press
trust, if we are not mistaken, and
the plan of corralling all the cot
ton in New Orleans may be an
incident to a scheme to further the
interests of his round bale system.
The compress interests of the
cotton section, however, will see
that they r properly protected
before they ARE led into giving
their aid to the movement that is
on foot.

Verdict in Big Back Tax Case.

The supreme court Yesterday
afternoon affirmed the decision of
the finds county chancery court
in the celebrated back tax suit
against the Illinois Central road,
wherein the State revenue agent
obtained a judgment against the
company Tor back advalorem taxes,
interest and damages, aggregating
about 500, 900.
The opinion Was one OF the
lengthiest ever handed down by
the court, and its reading by Spec
ial Judge Cayce consumed one and
one-half hours. The judgment is
"a clean cut victory for the revenue
agent, both on the law and the
facts, aud the case will be immedi-
ately carried to the United States
supreme court for final decision.
The taxes for which judgment
is secured are on the Louisiana,
New Orleans and Texas and
Natchez, jackson and Columbus
branches of the system, from 1886
10 1891, inclusive. The case has
been in litigation since 1894.
Judge Cayce gave a thorough
and comprehensive history of the
litigation since its iucipiency,
dwelling at length on all the legal
points urged by the defense. He
said hat there was no error COM
mitted by tie lower court in over
ruling the motion for removal to
the federal court, that the railroad
commission had power and juris-
dictiOn to assess the property of
the company; that the repeal of
the statue granted exemption to
the systems that have been engag-
ed in the construction of the
branches was proper, and that the
rule of property did not act as an
cstoppel t. the proceedings for
back taxes.-Jackson Clarion
Ledger.

Arthur Whittam, who has
been in charge Of the textile de-
partment of the A. s NJ. College
at Starksville, since it was opened,

will leave the school to accept the
presidency of the John NJ. Stone
Cotton Mill. Sixty young men
r enrolled in the textile depart
ment and are reported to be max
ing fine PROCESS iu their studies.
MIR. Whittam's resignation opens
up a nice position for some young

A Mississippi Political Combine.

The Times Democrat reporter
thus closes a speculative disquisi-
ton upon a Mississippi political
bubble that was foated on the sur
face of events in that city a day or
so ago:
Thus it will be see that while
the bankers were busy discussing
questions of finance, the Mississip-
plans we're considering matters of
moment to two men, one Of whom
will be a candidate for governor,
and the other probably a candidate
for the United States senate. This
meeting in New Orleans of Gov.
Longino and Mr.. Kincannon
probably means a pooling of in
terests in opposition to the Nc
Laurin com bine, which has con-
trolled the political destiny of the
state for a number of years.
Placing Gov. Longino who was
claimed as the nominee of the clan
SIN opposition to the McLaurin
combine" suggests the infinite
variety of the GIBBS and shifts of
the tide of politics. The report
further says: While Gov. Longino
has not announced for the United
States senate, yet his friends are
urging him to do so, and it would
not be surprising if he followed
their ADVICE"
As to the "advice of friends
that the governor announce for
the senate" that is doubtlesa true.
The Herald is, however, a
doubter Of It's mat erialization.
There has been too much treasury
scandal, too much investigation,
shenanigan and peacock politics,
too much brother in-law pull, to
give it body. The story of a pool
with A. A. Kincannon--w whose
brother has so late ly scalped the
governors friend, Warden Parch-
man-reads especially ishy-
Vicksburg Herald.

PLENTY OF WORK.

It is really not necessary to give
the negro or white man all educa-
ton of any kind that he may know
that it is honorable to work. Nor
is it necessary these days that he
should have an education to get a
job, for there is a labor famine
over the State, and anybody can
get work at fair wages if he is dis
posed to accept it.-Hattiesburg

1t cannot be denied that coun
try life tends to strengthen charac-
ter aud make men. 1t is not edu.
cation, it is not brllliancy Of intel
lect that makes the man Of mark
and influence, but it is solidty of
purpose, courage of convictions,
resolution to do right and shun
what is evil. The young man
who has been trained properly in
his country home, and whose
character has been shaped by
practice of industry, frugality and
morality, and uninauenced by
policy, is better prepared for life's
duties than he possibly could be if
raised up surrounded by every de-
sire. Self denial is a powerful

KIDNEY CURE,

There is no disease so insinuat-
ing, so slow but sure, as kidney dis
ease, or sc widespread. The symp-
toms are so slight as to generally
escape notice.
The first indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quantity may be increased or de-
creased; it is likely to be highly col
ored and scalding; it may be pale
or thin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro-
nounced symptoms will be present,
such as dizziness, bloating, ETC.,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders.
Poisonous waste matter is collected
Dy the blood from all parts of the sys-
tenn and carried to the kidneys, where
IT 10 separated and cast out through the
urine. The kidneys deal with the blood
only, deriving nourishment there
from. Hence, II the blood is bad the
Kldneys are not only Overworked, bu.
underfed. How necessary is it, there
Tore, that the purity and vitality of the
blood should be maintain ed. 1t is plain |
Why the great blood purifier and
has been successfully used in treating
kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the blood the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
q very old story:
PINE KNOT, KY, June Is, 1902.
The DR.. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, O.
GENTLEMEN: ! had a severe case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys in bad order. I have tried
q number of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but DR.. Harter's Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything else. e. CoRDELL,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are tho usands of just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr.. Cordell's
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder DR..
Harter'sIron Tonic promptlycured,
because it purified and enriched the
blood, and such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the organs.
