On burglary:

We have shown the disposition of the
burglar to commit murder, and will no w
present another phase 70 the case. What
would be the result il man or woman,
subject to heart trouble, were to be sud-
denly awakened by the presence of a
burglar i'll the room. In all probability
the shock would produce instant death.
When one man shoots another down,
he is charged with murder and liable to
be hanged, but the burglar, whose ille-
gal entrance into the room is the direct
cause of n woman'a death is suffered to
Get off with q light sentence in the pen
itentiary. The burglar is at heart
murderer, and all that prevents his Kill
ling man, woman or child while plying
his nefariohs calling is owing entirely to
the tact that he gets in and out before
his presence becomes known to the in
mates of the house. When discovered he
shows no hesitancy i'll beating or shoot
ing down any and all persons who at
tempt his escape. In the light of past
events, and the fact that burglares are
becoming more numerous, we feel that
the case is deserving the most serious
consideration of the press and the public
to the end that the Legislature may be
Induced to frame law making burglary
& capital offense.-Natchez Democrat.

| dred bales of such cotton can be loade
into 34-foot car
Fourth: Standard bagging is Al inches
wide, and accommodates a 24x54 bale
Better thar any other size and makes a
beaver package.
Fifth: 1t economies room on board
ship for export, and makes q perfect
loading Cor tile hold of ship, leaving no
projection or depressions.
Sixth: With a uniform bale in general
use the practice Of screwing which badly
r,iutiliates cotton and destroys its idcn-
tity, will be abolished.
Seventh: When cotton reaches Europe
the number of bales to the. carload con
be more easily approximatet, and the
cotton be handled on trucks more easily.
Eighth: 1t gives a uniform weight of
500 pounds and the cotton exchanges OF
Eurose base their contracts OH bales OF
this weight, exacting penalties for exces-
sive or deficient weight. .
Ninth: With uniform bales fewer errors
will occur and all questions Of weight
claims will be simplified,
The association concludes with strong
argument for the Uniform, bale, stating
that it is being demanded by all foreign
cotton exchanges. A few years ago a
report of the Liverpool cotton Associa
tion on the cargos Of f62 vessels from A.
merica showed that from these vesse Ia
395, 125 bales of cotton were unloade d,
and that 1852 bales, OF over two per
cent, had all markes of identification
torn away and several thousand more
had to be set aside for investigation.
The association is making strong ap-
peal for scientific package of cotton,
and the congresses are defraying the ex-
pense of having gin boxes changed in
the state.

The Uniform Bale Of Cotton.

The Mississippi Compress Association

farmers of the South on the subject of
In uniform bale 24x54 inches, and the
best method oflnarketing the cottoncrop
Nine reasons are set forth why this
Standard bale should be adopted through
out the cotton growing belt, and these
reasons may be summarized as follows:
First: 1t can be handled conveniently
On any wagon, raid lengthwise i'll a wag-
On bed, and never bulge over OH the
Wheel, thus rubbing away the bagging
displacing the headnarks. etc.
Second: 1t can be given greater der
sity than any other bale, instances being
known where it has been re luced by the
compress to more than 40 pounds to the
euiic foot-a density which compress
men say should not be exceeded as it in
jilres the elasticity oil the fibre
Third: 1t gives an economy of room

A Prediction.

Capt. ]. M. Parchman, warden of the
peniteniary, predicts that when the new
convict farm: iii Sunfower county is fully
cleared and placed in excellent state of
cultivation the net revenues from the
penitentiary will justify twenty-five
FER cent reduction Of the state tax levy.
To persons unfamiliar with the man
agement OF the one thousand convicts
iiow being work by the state ON the Del
ia farms, this may sound like an Uto-
plan dream but Capt. Parchman's view
is held by several members of the board
of control, who believe that it is fully
justified in view Of the fine showing that
has been made since the farm system
was established.
A fine statement for the first six months
Of management Of the farms during the
present year is now being prepared in
the wardens's Office and Capt. Parch-
man states that it will show a heavy
profit. None of the seasons crop has
yet been harvested, and tile warden be
Iieves that the net profit on the crop for
the entire year will surpass all previous
records.
Heiiceforth all energies will be bent to
get the Sunfower farm cleared and in
cultivation The pei,iteutiary will then
be 'at home" and practical demonstra-
ton of what the convict farming system
means can be given. The state o. Missis-
sippi will rank as the largest planter in
the commonwealth, and, withllabor that
cost nothing but board and cloths, 81
heavier margin of profit than that de-
fived by any farmer i'll tile Soath is ex-
pected.-Clarion Ledger.

ANALYSIS OF DIR. KRAUSs.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 13.
Mr.. ]. l.. Wilson, Rosedale, Miss.
Dear Sir:-The following is the report
of the analysis of the water sent me-
Color-Clear.
Odor-None.
Reaction, acid, due to free carbonie
acid gas; after boiling, Akalinty, 400
per million.
Total solids, 1913 per million; these
consist principally Of silica; dissolved
from sand; a very faint trace of iron; a
little lime ard trace of magnesia. This
equals 7.61 grains solids per gallon.
Total hardness, 200.
Permanent hardness, .25.
Free ammonia, sc.
Albuminoid ammonia, ~
ChIorin, PAP.
Nitrates and nitrites, trcae.
Oxygen required, g.
The very great purity OF this water
should recommendt for all purposes. 1t
is alkaline barring the free carbonic acid,
and this adds to it's palatability. The
very low degree of hardness renders it
very desirable fer washing and for use in
staam boilers.
The amount Of chlorn is large for
drinking water, but this has no signf-
canoe in deep well water, especially i'll
the absence of much organic matter.
congratulate you on such a good
water supply. Yours truly,

REPORT OF DIR. PAQUIN.
Memphis, Tenn. July %, 1902.
Messrs. Johnson & Fleming
286 Front ST., City.
Gentlemen-I hand you herewith report
of analysis Of sample of water marked
"6in.x31oft. well, going through 130 #.
of sand and gravel, 1o5 #. of clay, and
then sand.'
Taking this history as d guide pass
the water as good in spite of the fact
that it contains a large amot,nt OF free
ammonia; but, whet, We take into con-
sidefation that there is no nitrate nor
nitrite, no organic oxidizable matter,
we must conclude that this ammonia
does not come from ofgahc matter now
undergoing decomposition, but from
organic matter that has been completely
dccomposed since the stratum formation
and can have no influence on the water
from a sanitary standpoint. This water
will make an excellent boiler water, be-
ing almost as soft as melted ice water.
Respectfully,
