The rain of last Friday will no doubt
add greatly to the acreage of wheat
that will be put out here this fall. The

There came very near being a free

feeling that they were almost sure of
about two thirds of the votes to be
cast.
1t may be. as Judge Lester says, a
good plan where one is counting ON de-
feat to not have too much of a load to
carry, but while it is important for E..
ii. Nixon to adopt this plan there is no
great danger OF Fl. &. Walker ever
standing in need of this kind of a rene
dy. He is not out for defeat but to
snow Mr.. Nixon under with a majority
that will be so large that there Will be
no excuse to ever file contest. Even
republican legislature can understand
it when the returns are sent in from
Barber county.
Well, suppose MIR. Nixon should by
some accident be elected. would he not
have terrible time attending to the
great amount of business he IS pledged
to attend to. It would probably re-
quire good part of one day for him to
, get In his vote for e. l. Long for sena
ter. And to think that he has only
about fifty days in which to do it. 1t
is asking too much of any man to pile on
such great amount of hard work, es-
peclally on one that is new to the bust
ness and not hardened to the work.
Don't do it, send man there that can
and will try At least to do more than

TAXATION OF CATS.
Provision of a Bill in the Massachu-
setts Legislature.

Provision of Bill in the Massachu-
setts Legislature.
From the Philadelphia Record.
In every considerable community in
this broad land the owner of Il dog has
been compelled to pay license tax,
while his neighbours cat has been al
lowed to expand it's tail on the wood
shed roof in costless liberty. The rank
injustice Of this discrimination has
been apparent to every catless dog
owner. In the name of kindness a bill
has been introduced in the Massachu-
setts legislature which provides for Il
license OH cats, the tax being so cents
each. 1t authorizes mayors and select
men to kill all unlicensed felines. In
order to win the support of the lovers
of the cat it is pretended that there are
many starving and boy tortured stray
cats which it would be mercy to put
OuIof the way. III fact, however, there
is little doubt that it is the long-indig-
nant dog owners who have devised this
scheme of justice.
Dogs are taxed partly as a means OF
revenue, but chiefly to get rid of stray
ours. 1t is urged that dogs are Il
nuisance on many accounts. noisy at
night and danger in the alleged mad
dog season. In the city they are held
TO be entirely useless. If a dog be
worth his bones as guardian of the
home he will be menace to the legs
of the letter carrier and to children.
The amiable dog which wags his tail
when the delivery boy comes, will well
come a tramp or burglar as dear
friend. Cats, however, are not less
noisy and dangerous than dogs, but
the reverse. Their midnight imitation
of a baby with the collie creates an
epidemic of insomnia, and they are as
liable as dogs to rabies. They are
vastly more dangerous as carriers of
disease germs. They lack the affection
and fidelity of the dog. In short, evry
argument in favor of dog license is
fully as strong in favor of cat license.

ALMOST A RIVER OF LAND.

The capacity of the Mississippi for
filling up canals and old channels is
something awful. Government engineers
have found that the amount of solid
matter annually carried past Vicksburg
in suspension is enough to make a block
of earth 800 feet high and u mile square.
Fifty feet off the top of this is spread
around on the valley between here and
the sea, and the rest goes out into the
Gulf of Mexico, to build up more con-
tinent.
Think what that means. Instead of a
river of water this Is Il river of land
1t would make solid stream of earth
five feet deep, and nine feet wide, iiow-
ing night and day as fast as man can
walk-four miles an hour--all sliding
down off the northern half of the coun-
try toward the sea. Year in, year out,
that endless line of earth goes on. 1t
would take IA force of more than $4,000
men, working in eight-hour shifts, to
throw the dirt into the stream. sup
posing the river bed were rigid and an
inexhaustible supply of dirt on the
bank. 1t would make 250O0,0O0 wagon
loads every year.

1t, too, to an extent--we have the earth
itself to speak for it, Except for the
occasional fragments of the line of
bluffs along the eastern edge below
here-which bob up at Fort Adams, at
Natchez, at Grand Gulf at Baton
Rouge, at Port Hudson-there is moth
ing about the level of the high-water
river except the artificial levees. These
are in places miles back-great east
ern banks, sometimes thirty feet high
or more. sodded and free from trees
which protect the wonderfully fertile
region behind them. And all this level
country which the river overhows and
fertilizes is constantly increased by this
river of dirt which the Mississippi
brings down from the inner region,
gathered all the way from the Rockies
to the Alleghenies.
Sometimes the river starts to eat
away this land that it has made. In a
single summer il 1t will, it eats away
half mile of It out of some bend. 1t
cuts It out sometimes an acre at bite.

and takes with it forests, houses, levees
and all else. The river is not a uni
formly moving stream. One side or the
middle moves swiftly, the other parts
are still or sluggish. Sometimes even
these run up stream. The swift part is
the channel current, and runs in the
deepest sections. 1t makes crossings
whenever driven off shore by a pro-
monotory. These crossings are dump
ing places for the surplus earth the
river has picked up in the bend it is
eating

Foul Play Alleged.

A dispatch says Mrs Robert Woo ten was arrested near Marianna to await the result of investigation of the death of her husband, who, it Is alleged, died under mysterious cir cumstances. Mrs. Wooten was until six weeks ago a widow, Mrs. Webb, and lived in Phillips county. Both she and Wooten were of good fami- lies, and both had some property. After their marriage they lived in Lee county. Shortly before the hus- bands death it is claimed the couple had a misunderstanding concerning some property. Wooten just before retiring took a drink of whisky from a bottle he kept in the house. He fell asleep, but the next morning was found dead
