Liquor ordered Destroyed.

In the cases of the liquors taken
by Sheriff Harding of Kinds county
from the Jackson clubs in the recent
raid, Justice Fitzgerald held that the
affidayits of the clients for the goods
found in the Elks' Club and the Co.
lumbia Club were insufficient, and
the court ordered that the liquors be
destroyed as the law directs. The
attorneys against the clubs served
notice on the claimants to produce
their Federal revenue licenses, books
and invoices and all correspondence
in relation 10 the liquors and the
transactions by which it is obtained
and dispensed. The court, however,
did not act upon the notice to pro-
duce the papers.

Laborers Are Scarce.

The Mobile, Jackson & Kansas
City railroad people are having great
difficulty in getting laborers for the
work of construction on their pro-
posed line from Laurel north. The
right of way through Jones county
has been secured in part and con-
demnation proceedings will be insti-
tuted to settle disputes as to price for
some parts of it. The contractors
have been over the route several
times and have been negotiating with
the board of supervisors of Jones to
secure the county convicts in order
to put them to work on the road. II
the prisoners are secured they will be
put to work at point north of Lau-
rel. The construction work is only
waiting now on the necessary labor
which is extremely difficult to find.

Mississippi State News
Weather and Crops.


The mean temperature averaged
about 4 degrees above normal, SAYS
the weekly crop review by the Missis-
sippi division of the weather bureau.
On the 9th maximum temperature
reached or exceeded 100 degrees at
several places in the central and
northern portions Of the State. Mod
crate showers fell in the extreme
northern counties during the first Of
the week, but over the remainder of
the State only few light scattered
showers occurred.
The week was favorable for farm
work and good progress was made
in the cultivation of crops, which are
generally clean and, on the whole,
making fair growth. Over the east
ern half Of the State, and in some of
the southwestern counties, there is
considerable complaint of continued
dry weather, which has cut short the
oat crop and is checking the growth
of corn, while over the remainder of
the State conditions are quite favor
able, although a good rain would be
beneficial.
Over greater portion of the State
cotton is very promising; it Is
healthy, making fine growth, and
in the southern counties is beginning
to bloom. Owing to the very dry
weather in the east-central and
northeastern counties the staple is
not doing so well, and in few local
tiles it is much in need of more mois-
ture. Lice, although less damaging
than last week, are still doing some
harm in the southern portions of the
State.
Laying by corn is general and
where moisture is sufficient for ger
mination the planting of COW peas
continues.
Oat harvest is about completed
south and generally in progress
north. The yield is very light.
Irish potatoes are being dug and
are yielding well. Sweet potatoes
are making satisfactory growth.
Haying is in progress in several
counties. Gardens and pastures are
suffering for rain.

"Adjutant and Chief of Staff"


The Mormons seem to have come
to the conclusion that the State of
Mississippi is a fertile field, and
have sent score or more of elders to
work it up. They have just held a
State conference in Jefferson county,
which was presided over by Elder
Ben Rich, one of the most distin-
guished members Of that church, and
at which territory was apportioned.
The elders will now make a thorough
canvass of the State, travelling two
by two. They never ask for fnan-
cial assistance, and as a general
thing do not need money, as there
are few country homes at which even
a Mormon cannot get food and lodg.
ing for the night. However, when
necessary, they pay the cash, and
seem to be well provided with funds.

Immense shipment of Vegetables.

Jackson, Miss, June "a citi-
zen of Crystal Springs is authority
for the statement the the truck
farmers of that community have al
ready shipped about $50 carloads of
vegetables and fruits to the Northern
markets, and that 100 carloads will
be shipped during next week. The
tomato season is at its height, and
the prospect was never better for a
large yield and good prices. The ripe
fruit is now selling at from 60 cents
to $l.50, according to quality, while
the green and wrapped fruit is going
at about 80 cents. Last Tuesday
Crystal Springs shipped 14,172
crates of tomatoes--about seventeen
carloads. Illustrative of the profits
of truck farming it might be men
toned that Messrs. Evans and Bur-
ney recently sold field of nine acres
of tomatoes for 81 400, or an average
of $155 per acre, the purchaser to
pay all expenses of gathering, box
ing and shipping. This is said to be
the largest single deal in tomatoes
ever known in the Crystal Springs
neighborhood.

ob.truetiea m.ss n. R.me..s.

Through the board Of supervisors
of Monroe county the war depart
ment has notified the Southern
Bridge Company of Birmingham to
remove distractions to navigation in
the Tombigbee river at the Amory
bridge. United States engineers have
inspected the bridge and river chan
mel and reported that the piles driven
temporarily for the construction of
the bridge have not been properly re-
moved but were sawed off at low
water and the stumps at low stage
become a dangerous obstruction TO
navigation. The bridge was built
with draw span, in 1898, and has
been a matter of litigation from the
act of letting the contract. The bid
ders were warned by counsel that the
order Of the board Of supervisors for
its construction was in violation Of
the law, but they accepted the con-
tract and proceeded to build the
bridge. The payments were enjoined
by the taxpayers and the injunction
was sustained by the Circuit Court.
1t was carried to the Supreme Court,
where the lower court was affirmed,
and has since appeared in some shape
in the United States District Court,
and is now under adyisement of
Judge Niles.
1t is said that the bridge company
at the outset was indemnified by pri-
yate parties, though by whom and to
what extent is not a matter of rec
ord, but a $4,000 draw span steel
bridge spans the Tombigbee river for
which the county as corporate body
has rot paid a dollar. The protests
of two of the five members of the
board of supervisors were recorded at
every stage of the proceedings Of
that body that eliminated in the
order for the bridge.
