Pcruna Is such n perfect specific for

Only Two Millions.

!, Washington, Sept. 16.-Acting Secre-
tary of War Oliver to-day held that un-
der the provisions of the last river and
halbor act he is not authorized to ex
pend more than 100000 per annum
for the improvement of the Mississippi
river. The question was raised by Rep
resentative Joseph L. Ransdell. of Louis
lana, a member of the House committee
on rivers and harbors. Under the act
making appropriation for river and har-
Dor impro vement, the sum of Sc, 100000
was allotted for work on the Mississippi
rsver, the appropriation to become avail
able on July /, 1908. The Mississippi
River Commission had, under its inter
l)retation of the law, devised plan for
the expenditure of the entire amount
under a continuing contract. The chief
of engineers and the judge adaocate-gen-
eral, to whom the question WAS referred,
he'd that there was no objection to the
ii king of contract for the entire
amount authorized. but that the law ex-
pressly provided that not to exceed
100000 should be expended for work
done in any one year. The acting secre-
tary concurs in this view.

The Negro Tenantry Of the
Delta.

Look the world over and you will not
find the tenants in any agricultural
community more prosperous as a class
than the farm and plantation negroes of
the Delta- They are fed better and paid
better than the white field laborers on
the continent of Europe. Many of
these only get meat twice week and a
scant ration at that. A Delta darkey
would think the world was coming to
an efd if he failed to get his four pounds
| of meat and peck of meal regularly each
Saturday afternoon. The climate here
is comparatively mild thro nghout the
year, and the lands are so fertile that
either crop failure or hungry negro is
practically unknown. Ia bolivar county
| there are large number of colorcd
people who own their own farms, and
some Of them have holdings attaining
the dignity of small plantations. All,
whether land owners or laborers, are
well content, and, despite the efforts of a
few agitators, took little or no stock in
the campaign cry of all sorts of hard
ships that awaited the colored man if
Vardaman was elected governor. Why
should they? Knowing as they did that
some of the very largest and most inteli-
gent planters in, the Delta were ardent
supporters of Va1daman, it was to them
certain guarantee that if he was elected
the law-abiding citizens, black as well as
white, would be always protected in life,
liberty and property. OF this there can
be no doubt, and If designing labor
agents themselves, or through local and
hired emissaries, try to create feeling OF
anxiety and unrest among the negro
laborers, a deaf ear should and will be
turned to their croakings. Indeed we
find that any little temporary feeling ol
uncasiness that may have existed just
before the election is rapidly dying out
and we are informed by one of our
largest planters that many of his tenants
arc already closing contracts for next
year, while in his past experience such
| agreements were never made until the
close of the season. 1t is certain that
the negro will find no better place to live
in peace and happiness than Bolivar
county, and no one knows this better
he does.

Death Of Capt. Brown.

Cap. L. W. Brown, the venerable and
esteemed clerk Of the supreme court, died
at his home in Jackson on the 18th inst.
For several years he had suffered from
a cancer, and his death was not unex-
pected. Realizing his serious condition,
only day or two since he had requested
the secretary of state to omit his name
from the ticket for supreme court clerk,
for which he had just beer renominated.
His death leaves vacancy which will
probably be filed a. the November cleo
ton. Tie candidates for the place will
doubtless get their names on the ticket
for the general election as provided by
law. Each one must get up petition
signed by fifty names i'll each county,
and present it to the county board
fifteen DAYS before the election.

MIR. Boddie VIII Not Contest

Hon. Van B. Boddie, of Washington
county, contradicts the report recently
sent out that he would contest the nonl-
ination Of Hon. Sam D. Neill, OF SrnAow W.
CT county, for the Office of district attor-
ley for this, the fourth, judicial district,
Mr.. Boddie accepts the result as a loyal
and true Democrat, and will give the
nominee his hearty support. In fact
Mr.. Boddie appeared before the meeting
of the executive committee and stated
that he had no. contest to offer, at
the same time requesting that the
nominee be declared from the face of the
returns as sent to the committee. The
report is an injustice to Mr.. Boddie and
should be corrected.

Promote the Levee Movement

When the approaching convention of
the Mississippi Levee Improvement AS
sociation m.cts at New Orleansit should
be made memorable by the attendance of
representatives of influence and ability
from all the country that is interested in
the business which this gathering is in
tended to promote. Memphis is deeply
interested i'll the levce work, and so are
all the counties on either side of the
river, north and south of this city. Each
of these should send astheir delegates
their most intelligent and alert citizens.
and n special effort should be made to
standing in the mind of congress and the
country in general as to insure liberal
treatment at tn. hands of those who de-
termiue the expenditure OF public moneys.
There never WAS time when there was
not great competition in the scramble
for appropriations, and the practical
man knows that it is the measure which
is backed by the most powerful influences
that gets the money.
The National Irrigation Congress,
which Is now in session at Ogden, fur
nishes all example of what the levec con-
vention should be. Only the convention
should be greater by far than this con
gress, since the levec interests are greater
than the irrigation, and the claims upon
the government for protection from
foods are more deserving than the
clamor for moneys for the reclamation
of land that was left by nature arid and
fruitless. 1t will be seen that the Ogden
congress claims the attendance of sena-
tors and governors too numerous to
mention. The best people of the inter
ested states consider it an honor to be
delegated to that gathering and privi
lege to be permitted to have their names
associated with a propaganda that
means so much to the people of ths
parched prairies. The interest of thu
president OF the United States is invoked
by means of correspondence and inter
views, and the labors of congress ar,
given standing and encouragement by
the receipt ofletters from thai diguitary
There are many reasons why the leves
convention should over-shadow the irri
cation gathering as the one movement
over-shhdc ws the other i'll importanc.
and deserts.
!
This is the time when the heaviest
blows should be struck for the levees
Recent experiences have demonstrated
that they constitute feasible, practica
means of reclaiming land otherwise o
little value because of rccurrent floods
Furthermore they furnish valuable i'm
provemcnt for inland navigation. The
river commissioners have shown how
we'll they are impressed by making avail
able for immediate use every dollar they
could control in that way. This feeling
should be kept alive and fostered, g
strong impression should be made upol
the country, and it should be showt
that this movement for the completion
of the levee system means one OF. tn.
greatest improvements that the United
States have ever undertaken.-Memphis

side to give the glass q pitch toward
the sun. Take Il plank or board ten
inches wide for the front and one six
teen inches wide for the back is about
right. The ends of the frame should
come up even with the top of the side
planks and be ripped off to give the
proper pitch. \ cleat should be nailed
ON the end of the hotbed, as shown at G
in the figure, to hold the sash from slip
ping endwise The frame should also
have a stay across the top about every
six feet to prevent the sides from
springing out, shown at a.
Select some sheltered spot where
there is plenty of sunshine and dig out
hole about a foot larger than the
frame on every side and about two and
d half feet deep. Draw out load or
two of fermenting horse manure. If
the manure is heating evenly all
through, it may be put into the pit at
once; If not 1t should be shaken up
thoroughly and piled up in a close,
compact pile and left few days. Ii
any portions of it are dry, it should be
wet down. In filling the pit care should
be taken to tread down the manure
firmly. The manure should extend be-
yond the frame on all sides foot at
least; then set on the frame and bank
it up ON the outside to the top of the
frame with manure.
Next put on six to eight inches OF
soil, put on the sash and let it sweat
BY about the third or fourth day 1t will
do to SOW to seed. Radishes, lettuce
and onion sets may be put in along
with cabbages, peppers and eggplants.
The sash should be raised little every
day to give the plants fresh air. When
moisture begins to gather on the under
side of the glass, you may know the
temperature is running too high and
that fresh air should be admitted. Care
must be taken not to allow cold wind
to blow on the plants.
An Improved Hotbed Shutter.
In cold nights the sash should be COW
cred with straw mating or burlaps,
and In case of rain or snow it is well
to have an improved hotbed shutter the
same size as the top of the hotbed. This
shutter saves time and labor, TO make
it get strips of three-eighths inch thick
lumber nail these on to cleats seven
eishths inch by inches at ends and
middle; then take building paper and
spread over the entire surface, then fill
and pack the spaces with rye straw.
Cover again with building paper and
nail ON the boards on the under side.
This shutter takes the place of the ordi-
nary board shutter and straw mats and
saves time in handling, Two iron han
dies, like door handles, screwed on near
each end, midway, help handle it. One
can do quite business with few hot
beds of this kind.
