The Southern Oil Industry.

Notwithstanding the impression
that there is a decline in the Texas
Oil field, Beaumont and Sour Lake
shipped, during the month of Septem-
ber, 1900, 900 barrels of petroleum.
But the Louisiana fields are still more
active. During the last few days Of
September, Jennings shipped two
solid trains OF oil to the sugar planta-
tions in that state. There were also
during last month, new developments
in the Kentucky and Tennessee oil
fields, and a steadily increasing pro-
duction is reported from those two
states. Much Of this oil is used by
the railroads for fuel; yet a great deal
is sent to Philadelphia, New York
and other cities, and even to England.

State Treasurer Thad Hampton has

State Treasurer Thad hampton has
made a very exhaustive study OF
affairs affecting the State treasury,
and will, in his report to the legis-
lature, submit plan for State de-
positories. It is his opinion that a
system of repositories will not only
provide places for the safe keeping of
the States money, but also facilitate
the handling Of the same. Mr.. Lamp
ton will present to the legislature an
elaborate report on the workings Of
such a plan in all it's details.
A system OF repositories has worked
with entire satisfaction in several 9TH
er states, and it's adoption in Missis-
sippi would no doubt make smooth
some of the rough places in the path
of our State treaSurerS.

OF 500, 900 valuable historical manu-
scripts connected with Mississippi

IS. The collection of historical por-
traits without cost to the State, the

and statistical register containing val
liable information relative to the his |
torical, social, educational and eco
nomic development of Mississippi
The report closes with these words:

THE JACKSON LIBEL SUIT.


the Okolona Messenger, against editors
Henry and Bellenger, of the Clarion
Ledger and Evening News, respective
ly, both of Jackson, Miss, charged
with criminal libel, was heard in the
Jackson City Court last week. The
outcome of the suit was watched with
considerable interest throughout the
State, especially among the newspaper
fraternity, and the Courts verdict OF
not gritty was no surprise. AS is
known the ground for this suit was the
printing in the C]arion-Ledger and the
News of an article signed by Brame
Dalton, of the West Point Times Her
aid. Evidence was produced in the trial
which proved that no malice or dispo-
sition to injure an innocent man, was
shown by Messrs. Henry and Bellen-
ger in the publication of the aforesaid
article. Furthermore, it developed in
the trial that Steinberger had been
charged, in the courts OF Kansas and
other states where he had operated,
with every accusation made by Mr..
Dalton. The testimony showed that he
had been a defaulter in the sum of
$4,000 as postmaster at Howard,
Kansas; that he had edited an obscene
paper bearing the name Grip" at
Kansas City; that he had in several
instances sought to defame the char
acter of respectable citizens; that he
plead guilty of gambling, in the police
court at Grenola, Kas.; that in one
instance he had received $4,000 from
a candidate under promise to supprot
him with his paper, and after he had
got the money he opposed that can
didate. Many other crimes were
charged against him; perhaps he is best
described in the language of one OF
his Kansas acquaintance, who charac-
teriZes him as "Mr. Steinberger, the
forger, the libeler. the defaulter, the
the libertine, the self-ac-
liar, the smiling william.
and universally recognized dead beat.'
The Yazoo City Sentinel, in COM
menting on the trial, uses the follow
ing plain and unvarnished language:
NATURALLY such trial could have
but one effect and one result, and for
a man so vulnerable as Steinberger to
rush into a legal conflict of the kind
shows him to be lacking in sense as
we'll as decency. A liar, a slanderer, a
turncoat, a fugitive from justice,
coward, a defamer Of women, a thief
and blackmailer he was, by credible
testimony proven to be, with the
strong probabilities that other vices
and crimes would be brought home
against him were his past record more
deeply inquired into.

Officer Becomes Insane.

Capt. w. P. Funston of Little Rock, a member of Gen. Haynes staff, became violently insane on the fourth day of the encampment. The unfortunate young man ap- peared at the encampment ball and acted as if he was in active con- mand of a large force of troops. He attracted no little attention and much sympathy was expressed for him. At the start of the encamp- ment he had made many friends by his gentlemanly conduct and his military ardor. This was the only sad occurrence of the encampment. When the news of Capt. Funston's affiiction was communicated to friends in Little Rock, who i'm mediately took steps to place him in the Pulaski county hospital, where it is hoped he will soon regain his reason.

was held at the Arlington. It was participated in by prominent socie- ty people from all sections of the state.
 The big sham batte took place at 4 o'clock on the 11th, and was witnessed by fully 15,oOo people.
 During the engagement the boys conducted themselves like old vet erans, The formation of the troops preceding the battle as they took their positions was pleasing spec tacle, and the enthusiasm of the crowds was on par with that of the soldiers.
 The Second regiment was the victor, and the battle was beauti- fully sarried out.
 The sponsors dress parade took place Friday afternoon at 5:30.
 The sponsors, heralds and maids of honor rode in beautifully decor ated carriages.
 The judges to award the beauti- full loving cup offered as a prize were Prof. George B. Cook, Mayor Belding and Lieut.. Moore.
 The carriage containing Mrs. W. H. Martin, chaperon; Mrs. Fenton Wells, sponsor; Miss Genia Stroop and Miss Florence Williams, repre- senting the Second regiment, was awarded the prize for making the best appearance in dress parade of sponsors.
 On the morning of the 18th there was company drill for the silver banner and championship honors The decision was between Company M of Little Rock and Company c of Texarkana. Company G. won and was awarded the flag and the championship after the battle. It was presented in neat speech by Gen. Haynes, both regiments being drawn up in line to witness the presentation.
 The encampment came to a close on the night of the 18th by the re- production of the Battle of the Clouds, in which the Second regi- ment got the decision. The topo- graphy of the battle ground favored Commander-in- Chief Haynes in planning a most spectacular night exhibition of the militia, and thous- ands of people witnessed the panor- annie battle
 The officers held an important meeting during the encampment to devise ways and means of creating more enthusiasm among the eligi- ble guardsmen throughout the state and to encourage greater interest among company commanders, that a regular and more perfect attend ance may be had at each drill night.

HEAVY RAIN DELAYS PLANTING.
Grass and Small Grain Makes Salts
factory Growth.

The crop outlook throughout the
state is very encouraging according to
the report for the week of the Iowa
climate and crop service bureau:
The pest week was warmer than
usual, with excessive rainfall in about
two-thirds of the state. The relative
ly-dry portions of the state are in the
three eastern districts, and in soma
localities the need of rain to soften
the clods is strongly emphasized. The
excessive down-pours occurred, for the
most part, in the counties where the
rainfall for the season had been great
est. Flowing and planting operations
have been delayed in the saturated
sections, but wherever field work was
practicable it has been vigorously
pushed. In the most favored localities
corn planting is well advanced, and
reports indicate very prompt germina-
ton in all well drained and properly
titled fields. Unusual care has been
exercised in the selection of seed corn,
and the results are so far encouraging.
Grass in pastures and meadows and
small grain have made very satisfac-
tory growth With normal weather
conditions in the near future the gen.
eral crop situation in the larger part
of the state will be much improved.
Fairly good reports will be much
improved.
Fairly good reports are received as
to apples and some of the most impor-
tant small fruits.
