Doubtless Uncle Sam, with one
foot on one side of the Andes
mountains in Argentina and the
other on the opposite side in Chill,
may prove a success at peace

them quiet.

Contrary to general opinion,
the improvements made by King
Edward in Buckingham palace
and Windsor castle have to be

the property of the government at
his death.

NEXT LIEUTENANT-GENERAL.

Washington, Oct. 27.--"I do not
think am betraying any confidence
when / say that Maj.-Gen. S. B. NJ.
Young will be the next lieutenant
general of the army" said Maj -Gen.
Corbin, Monday. Then he added:
"And his promotion will be enjoyed
by no one mere than by myself
Lieut.-Gen. Miles will retire for age
next August, and this declaration by
Gen. Corbin was inspired by some
comment to the effect that the ap-
pearance of his (Gen. Corbin's)
name in the monthly army list next
after that of Gen. Miles pointed out
the probable succession. As a fact,
it is stated that the order of the
names in the list was fixed by the
seniority of the commissions of the
officers. Gen. Young would have
about year to serve in that grade
il he il made lieutenant-general.

the Christian churches:
70 the Various Christian Bodies in

Christians of our land is opposed to

far less influence than it should 10

which is also, n most serious obstacle
to the spread Of the Gospel.

Governor Longino has not yet
acted upon the acquisitions from
Gov. Davis of Arkansas in the case
of the Hull family, wanted in Chicot
county for resisting arrest and shoot
ing with intent to kill Sheriff
Strong. The parties are still held
at Vicksburg. Sheriff Shannon Of
Coahoma county is extremely anx-
ious to get the prisoners for trial up
there. He stated that he had charg.
es against the parties which will send
them to the penitentiary for eight
years. Sheriff Shannon says he
will confscate the whisky boat also,
and that the boat is worth $4,000.
He says that Hull and his crew fired
on the authorities of his county two
years ago under similar circum-
stances as the Arkansas case. 1t is
now practically certain that the Ark
ansas requisitions will be denied for
the present and the prisoners will
go to Coahoma county for trial.

seeking, for divine enlightenment,
with willingness TO approach the
subject with an open mind, the united
church may find u way by which we
can serve the cause Of Christ
and the good of mankind in seeking
the ultimate elimination of this stu

nominations of Christians in the
United States to appoint delegates to

Railroad Com mission.

The railroad commission met at
Jackson last week and granted the
request of the railroads for further
time in which to consider the recent
suggested schedule on cotton goods.
A delegation from Vicksburg ap-
peared before the commission and
complained of alleged excessive
switching charges ON fuel oil, and
the commission thereupon cited the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and the
Alabama & Vicksburg railroads to
be represented at the next meeting
in answer to the charges.
Representatives of the Mobile &
Ohio and Southern railroads were
cited to appear at the next meeting
and show cause why they should not
be required to build a union passen-
ger depot at Corinth.
A schedule of rates on home man.
ufactures, boilers, machinery and
clothing was submitted by Commits
sioner Kincannon. These rates
were in turn referred to the railroad
company, with the suggestion that
II there was no opposition they
would be made effective.

Mississippi State News
states Great Possibilities.

Some of the exhibits at the Co.
lumbus fair last week are attracting
much attention and comment. as IL
lustrating the possibilities of Mis-
sissippi, and as demonstrating the
fact that she has before her a great
future, both as a manufacturing and
an agricultural State. What can be
done with the soil of Mississippi
with well directed effort is well Illus
trated by the exhibits from the farm
of l.. W. Payne, very prosperous
farmer and horticulturist of Column
bus, on the Alabama & Mississippi
line. Mr.. Payne exhibited at the
fair eleven varieties of apples, two
of peaches and two of pairs, all
splendid specimens of fruit, and all
of his own graft, and these speei-
mems are taken from an orchard of
twelve acres. Mr.. Payne gratis his
own fruits, and has been wonderful
ly successful as a fruit grower. Be-
sides this orchard he has a poultry
farm stocked with mammoth bronze
turkeys and several standard yarie-
ties Of pure bred chickens. Mr..
Payne's wife also had on exhibition
a number of varieties of canned
goods, grown by himself and put up
in tins by his wife. All of his ex-
hibits captured premiums.
Another exhibit still more inter-
esting in character was from the
textile department of the A. and N.
College, and consisted of two looms
run by gasoline engine which were
kept in operation daily and which
turned out yards ofginghams, plaids,
domettes and fine madras cloth OF
the highest grade. The madras
cloth was of the quality which re-
tails for AZ cents per yard. Eight
yards of the cloth can be made from
one pound of cotton. The exhibit
was in charge of T. a. Abbott, weay-
er and the designer in the textile
department at the A. and NJ. Col
lege.

Hard Money Only.

The State treasury vaults now
contain nothing but metallic cur
rency, there being no paper money
of any kind or description on hard.
This condition is quite unusual, espe-
cially as there is nearly quarter Of
million dollars in the vaults. The
bulk of this money is silver coin and
tcme gold. Persons who have war
rants amounting to any great sum
have to carry the heavy metal with
them. Treasurer Carlisle prefers to
have the metal money on hand, as it
does not present very inviting pic
ture TO the burglar trade. A man
could not carry away enough silver
to induce him to take such chances
as a raid ON the treasury would re.
quire.
