MERELY A WARNING.
Judge John II. Reagan Discusses His La
Dor Day Speech and National
Political Conditions


Houston, Tex, Sept. 8-In discuss
ing criticism Of his recent Labor Day
speech Judge John H. Reagan said that
some people had presumed from what
he had said that he was hostile to la.
Dor, but such was not the case. HIS
believes that labor organizations are
a necessity so long as trusts exist, Dut
he does not believe that the social
economy which should prevail has any
room for either.
81 had but one object in writing that
speech, he said, "and that was to
sound a warning to the American peo-
pie That antagonism between capital
and labor is becoming intensified every
year. The only way to remedy the
evil Is for the people to take the mat
ter into their own hands and make
trusts and all such organizations an
lawful. ! didn't write to please any
one. ! wrote TO tell great truth |
have always spoken the truth AM have
never Pandered to party or man"
Judge Reagan deplored the condi-
tions which prevail in national poll
tics. THE Democrats must turn the
Republicans down or ruin stares us
In the face. If the conflict, now so
evident, between the trusts and those
upon whom the burden rests is allowed
to continue, corporate control and
usurpation Of power will bring about
civil war One Of the greatest trou,
bles is that ne people are not willing
to hear ami appreciate the truth about
these matters and the usurpation con
tinues My public life is ended but
l shall never fail to identify myself
with the cause Of the people | have
passed through sixty odd years Of pub
lie life and in looking back | cannot
see that I want the record changed"

RnrnI SCHOOL ExtensIon.

Mr.. Whitfield has canvassed the
white counties of this State in which
the school term has heretofore been
only four months, and he is satisfied
that a large majority of them will
levy the tax for school extensions
The impression has heretofore eX.
listed that the boards Of supervisors
could not make a special levy fol-
school extensions, and the opinion
Of Attorney General McCIurg has
been misconstrued in many quarters
The facts are that the boards Of su
peryisors can levy as much as thir
teen and one-half mills for State
and ordinary county purposes. The
county levy can therefore be as much
as seven and one-half mills for
schools and county purposes, ezclu-
siye of what might be necessary for
paying interest on bonds, paying
outstanding warrants and paying for
public works. And the total State
and county levy, including levy for
these special purposes, may be as
much as sixteen mills.

Crops in Copiah,

Quite number Of prominent
planters from various sections of
Copiah county were in Hazlehur8t
last week on business with the board
of supervisors, and were questioned
about the cotton crop. In every in
stance the crop was said to be fully
20 per cent. short; that the crop
was opening rapidly and that cotton
haryestcrs were very scarce, owing
to the vast amount of public work
in progress in Copiah county The
cane crop is said to be exceptionally
fine and large quantity of splendid
syrup will be made this fall.

Mississippi Fared Badly.

According to figures just compiled
Mississippi did not fare very well in
getting appropriations from the Fed
eral government at the last session
of congress. In the three general
appropriation bills which carry the
principal amounts distributed
among the various States, Mississip-
pi captured only $28O,OOO, notwith-
standing the fact that she is one of
the largest States in the South, and
has an unusually strong delegation
in both branches of congress. The
allowance is pitifully small compar-
ed with other States. Florida, for
instance, secured $3,5O0,0OO, Texas
$3,300,000, and even Louisiana
waltzed away from the treasury with
$3,l43,000, while our neighboring
State of Alabama carried off in tri-
umph the very neat sum of $685.
900. Mississippi secured for each
man, woman and child in her bor-
ders pro rata of IS cents, Florida
got $500 per capita, or about thirty
six times as much as Mississippi, in
spite Of the fact that her congress-
ional delegation is the smallest in
the States Of the South. The figures
are somewhat surprising, and it
might be well for Mississippi's del
egation in the next congress to give
them careful study and try to estab-
lish better "gettability" relations
with fbe Federal treasury.

the structure will cost 100000, in
stead of 100000, as at first con-
templated. Work is now progress
ing rapidly on the new general office
building of the Ship Island route
at Gulfport, and the extensive pub
lie improvements will all be COM
pleted within the next year.

VIII Start u Brewery.

Nlississippl's first brewery IS to be
built at Webb, a little station on the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road in
Tallahatchie county. As yet the
prohibitionists do not believe it, and
they are horrifed at the idea of beer
being manufactured in a State where
the farmers are not even permitted
to make wine from their own grapes
on scale larger than for family use.
The promoters of the brewery, how
ever, are going actively forward with
their preparations, and feel confident
that a sufficient patronage will be
secured for its operation. Many
years ago IA few small breweries were
located in Mississippi, but since the
State has been coquetting with pro-
hibition there has not been a single
brewery or diStillery in operation.

Mississippi State News
To NAgigate the Pearl.

The important announcement is
made that a New Orleans firm has
arranged to operate steamboats, and
barges on Pearl river of sufficient
capacity to handle freight of all
kinds, particularly cotton and slaves,
between New Orleans and Jackson.
The recent opening of the Lake
Borgne canal will enable the COM
pany to receive and deliver cargoes
to and from ocean and river steam
ers, and from the New Orleans lev
ee, 100 miles above and below. For
ty or fifty years ago a heavy traffic
was handled on Pearl river from
Jackson to the mouth, but since the
advent of railroads the business has
fallen into disrepute, and the fresh
attempt to revive it will be watched
with much interest At many plac-
os The river has been chokcd up with
logs and stumps and there has been
no effort whatever at navigation
since the Federal Court rendered
decision permitting the conshuc-
ton Of a class of bridges which rem
dcred the stream unnavigable. An
agent of the company, which is to
be known as the Gulf Trade and
transportation Company will soon
make a trip from New Orleans to
Jackson by skiff for the purpose of
interviewing the persons in the trade
territory and making arrangements
to handle their freight traffic. At
its last session congress passed an
appropriation for the improvement
Of the river, and it is believed that
the sum is sufficient to put the
stream in a navigable condition.
