Mr.. Larkin, of the firm of Davis,
Larkin Co., contractors Of the Court
House, accompanied by Mr.. Thos.
Roland, went out TO the place own
ed by Capt. Geo. T. McGehee, four
miles north of this town, on Tues
day, to inspect the quality of stone
to be found there. Mr.. Larkin re-
ports the stone of very fine quail
ity and abundant quantities can
be gotten out, but the expense of
quarrying and handling it, pre-
cludes the possibility of using it in
building the Court house. He says
however, that by opening up a
quarry-which would of course re-
quire considerable capital-a pay
ing industry would be the result,
basing his statement on the fact
that this is a suitable place for the
sale Of stone, as it is centrally To-
Gated between Texas and Alabama,
the two nearest stone supplying
states. Further investigation of
this matter would likely open up a
new industry i'll Our county, and it
would be we'll for some of our
monied men to look into it.

OUR UNDEVELOPED RE-
SOURCES.

"Mlssissippi's fortune lies in her
fertile fields, and thousands upon
thousands of acres have never felt
the touch of hoe. Factories may
build and railroads stretch their
shining rails from border to border,
but yet our wealth must, in great
measure, come from the farms,
those perennial fountains of susie
nance and riches" says the Vicks-
burg American. This is true in a
measure; but the next few years
will demonstrate the fact that un-
DERIVING Mississippis fertile fields
are oil, coal, potter's clay, and min
eral deposits of various kinds, which
when located, and properly devel-
opeo, will add millions of dollars
annually to the states wealth, and,
taken together, with the income OF
the mills, factories, stock and truck
FARMS and plantations, will place
Mississippi where she rightfully
belongs-the foremost state in the
Union. Mississippi is practically
undeveloped. Nearly so per cent
of the states area is virgin forest.
Several hundred million dollars
worth of lumber will sbe manufac-
tured and shipped to outside mar
kets within the next decade, and
expert timber men are authority
for the statement that it will re-
quire 100 years to exhaust the mer-
charitable timber at the present rate
of export. Thousands of feet of
hardwood lumber, shipped north
each month and manufactured into
furniture and agricultural machine
| ry, then sold to our people at inn
mense profit should be converted
into articles of commerce at home
and the profits diverted into home
channels.
Mississippi is in need of practi-
cal farmers, men who understand
the science of farming and are will
ing to work; men who will produce
what they consume, and not send
north for meat, bread and stock
feed; men who will farm in sys-
tenatic and diversified manner, and
not depend on a few bales of cotton
for living; but she also needs ex-
perienced men to delve below the
surface and bring to light the un.
told wealth which now lies hidden
there. -Corinth Herald.

Governor Longino has received
letters from about ninety per cent
of the members of the legislature,
replying to his circular letters is
sued recently, asking their opinion
of the valued policy law, as regards
cotton, and they are practically
unanimously in favor of its repeal.
The delay that has attended the
action of the Governor, in regard
to calling a special session of the
Legislature IS by no means credita-
bic to that gentleman, for if the &C.
casiou justified the assembling of
the legislature in special session,
this should have been done before

THE GRACE WAR; HUMBUG

THE RACE WAR HUMBUG.
Every few days we are Disguised
by the announcement in scare line
letters of "A Race War some
where in the South. It seems that
the slightest trouble or outbreak
between a handful Of mean whites
and a gang of worthless negroes is
so designated, creating false opin
ion abroad as to existing Southern
conditions. The fact is that moth
ing approxinrating a race war"
has existed or beenIthought of in the
South since the days of vagabond
swarmery and carpetbag leadership
that characterized reconstruction
times" and nothing of the kind is
probable or possible in this section.
In this region all good men of all
races are pronounced friends of
peace and order, and there will
never be the slightest danger of
division of our people upon race
lines incident to the misdeeds of in
dividuaIs of either race. The fools
who shrek race war" are about
on line with the idiots who char
acterize every hoodlum street fight
as "a duel. Aberdeen Examiner.

teen-acre rice farm in the eastern
part of the county, owned by Mr..
H. Dewey, the product Of which is
of a most excellent quality and the
yield abundant. The success is ac-
eomplished by means of irrigation,
which was done at a very small
cost. Rice growing has been pur-
sued by SOME Of our old residents

THF ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION

Ever since the great PARIS
Worlds Fair, ia the time Of Ma
poleon the Third, the civilized
nations, especially those Of com
mercial Importance, have adopted
this method of advertising their
productions and their power. As
a rule the plan is very expensive,
and it Is questionable whether
any country, or state, or city ever
received adequate returns for the
enormous OUTLAWS expended upon
these colossal Fairs. But they
have taken firm hold upon the
public mind of the different coun-
tries, and now afford a periodical
international amusement, as well
us an international display iof
wealth.
Perhaps of all these Expositions
not one in the past has been so
significant of marvellous devel-
opemeut as the Centennial cele-
bration of The anniversary of the
Louisiana Purchase. The area of
the United Srates was increased
at least one-third by this purchase
of President Jefferson, and from
this vast wilderness has been carv-
ed out a splendid empire of veal
thy and populous states. The two
little cities of St. Louis and New
Orleans, which Napoleon sold,
have become the great Empo-
RUNS of the West and the South
west, and are the centres of un-
limited commercial prosperity.
1t is curious, reading the de-
bates in Congress upon this pro-
posed purchase, to note how his
tory repeats itself. Some of these
speeches are almost repeated to-
day in showing. how Imperialism
and Expansion, with all their dire
results, must finally sap the very
foundation of our Republic and
overthrow it,
| But we have rambled away from
the design of this article. Since
EXpositions are fashionable, and
as our state will do its part in this
grand exhibition of the wonder
full growth and development OF
our common country, resulting
directly from the Louisiana pur-
chase, every county in the state
should contribute to its success
We suggest that steps be taken
looking to the representation OF
Wilkinson county at the st. Louis
Fair, and for the proper display
of its diversified products. We
can make a creditable showing il
we will try; and one that will be
sure to advertise the many advan
tages that our county offers tc
immigrants and to capitalists.
