George w. Norton of Mohaw has agreed to send out parties to flag the route and open the same for traffic. There are two wells between Norton's place and Quartzite, and Mir.

The bids for the erection of the

on Monday by the Board of
Supervisors and the contract awar-
ded to The Davis-L arkin Co., of
Chicago, for the sum of $4I,o85.
This bid was by no means the low
est received but the Board acted
wisely and we'll in its selection, and
were guided by the future interest
and welfare of the county, in de-
termining to erect a substantial
modern building, and in doing this
they will not allow few dollars to
stand in their way. The cost OF
the building could have been great.
ly lessened by the substitution Of
brick for stone in the lower walls
and in many other ways, but this
was not deemed advisable nor eco.
nomical, and only the best of al
material will be used. The build
ing will be adequate for the use o.
the county for century to come

memory of those who contributed
to its erection. The work will be,
gin thereon during the first of Sep.

ORGANIZE A BUSINESS

Several months ago we sug-
gested the organization of a
Business League in this town but
few of the citizens favored the
movement, hence it was dropped,
but as our town is now building

could do much to push the
enterprises started in future, Cen

We have received several COM
munications from Mr.. Dunbar
Rowland, with the request that we
open a voting contest through our
paper for the ten Mississippians
whose pictures are to adorn the
Hall of Fame in the new capitol.
For several reasons we have not
complied with same. In the first
place we do not favor the means
adopted for securing the names, as
every person in the state over if
teen years of age could vote, hence
the blacklist negro could be chosen
if the negro children saw fit to do
so. Of course this would not be
permitted but is possible by the
contest. And secondly the num-
Der should not be confined to ten;
not that it is not enough but posi-
bly, too many. The names should
be chosen by a committee of COM
petent gentlemen chosen for that
purpose as suggested by several of
our exchanges. The contest, we
hope, will be closed at once and
it is with the newspapers to do it.

The mistrial in the Rush case

The mistrial in the Rush case is
not encouraging to those who be-
Iieve that the law should he made
to bear on all who have violated
it with equal effect. That Rush
is guilty there can be no doubt;
that he Matched the scheme there
is strong evidence to prove. That
Raiford is guilty, and by turning
states evidence has escaped,
should have been no reason why
Rush should be let off. Just why
it should not be considered a
crime to surreptitiously take the
states money and lend it for pri-
vate gain, the News cannot see.
The state of affairs as unearthed
by the testimony disclose that it
was rotten to the core. Rush
seemed to have got the full rays
of that sympathy which DEGREES
that when several men conspire
to a criminal thing, that it is not
right to punish just one of them.
This has taken possession of the
minds of great many people
since the trial began. Raiford
placed himself out of harms way
by confessing, Armistead was safe
in Tennessee, with the protecting
arm of the governor thrown about
him, while Rush stood nthe pris-
oner's dock to answer the charge.
The verdict of the people of the
state will be guilty.-Jackson

Four miles Of dead fish now fill
Harvey's canal across the river
from New Orleans and the stencil
is sitting to the upper part of the
city. The cause of the death of
the fish is not known but it is sup
posed that the dead water lilies
forming a poison was the prime
cause. The fish have died by the
millions, and the work of clearing
the canal is almost impossible, as no
human can stand the dreadful odor.
The water from the river is to be
let in with the hope that the plague
of fish can be washed away. The
health officers of Jefferson parish
and New Orleans, have taken the
matter UP, as the health of both
places will suffer if a remedy is not
found at once.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
For the past week rain has fallen
in different portions of the county;
in some places light and showery,
while in other localities regular
root 'soakers" have fallen and we
were treated to the latter. The
question now arises; What effect
will the rains have on all the stunt
ed upland cotton1 AS for corn it
is, as a general thing, beyond re-
demption. Old men who have had
considerable experience disagree as
to the effect of rain on cotton that
has stopped growing and we ac-
knowledge that we are in the
dark" as to the result and will
watch with interest the outcome of
this character Of cotton. With the
crop as it is, and with the most
favorable season from now on, we
would judge it impossible to ex-
coed last years crop, as there are
eight chances to one that some
thing will happen to the crop, and
in all probability the yield will be
shorter than year before last. The
hill corn crop is a failure.
