Big Field of Sorghum.

A. L. Taliaferro, living near Wa
ter Valley, planted one-quarter of an
acre in sorghum CANE this year. On
August Is he cut the first crop, from
which he made fifteen gallons Of mo-
lasses. From the stubble a second

Amendments Defeated.

Secretary of State Power has re-

ty-three of the seventy-fve counties
in Mississippi. The returns show
the congressional vote to be even
smaller than the lowest estimates,
and it is now doubtful if it goes in
excess of 10000, which is the small
est that has been recorded in Missis-
sippi since the war. Over one-half
of the counties have reported, and
the total vote from those in hand is
only 1852. The three amend
ments continue to run behind the
congressional vote, and there is no
question whatever as to their defeat.

Civilization is making rapid inroads
upon the old Indian customs. Large
gangs of Indian men, not women, are
employed in the construction depart

hours work with a pick and shovel
every day would soon take the saw
ageness out of any man and make
him sleep O nights instead of put
ting on war paint. But the notable
thing here is that the male Indian
is actually working. He used to let
