IS THIS TRUE?

The Natchez Bulletin says: Re-
publican Referee Wilson, who posses
a democrat tGod save the mark, J
appears to be going into the thing
right. When President Roosevelt or
Postmaster General Payne communi-
Gated with him in reference to the coll
ored postmistress at Indianola, he
wired or wrote to Washington advis-
ing the powers to stand by Minnie
Cox, the offensive official. This ad-
vice led the Vicksburg Herald TO OBJ
serve in the course of long editorial :
1t is quite unnecessary to state
that this sort of legislation makes a
hard row for Referee Wilson to hoe.
To hold place and favor the apostate,
the man who changes his political
affiliations for a price, is ever forced
to proceed to more odious extremes
than another. This general rule is
doubly true of the southern condition.
1t affords an easy explanation OF the
whole obnoxious attitude of Referee
Wilson in urging the administration
to "stand by Minnie Cox policy.
No republican, white or black, would
have failed to recognize its impolicy
and iniquitous results, and to have
advised the administration accord
ingly. This the democrats dared not
dot would have brought him under
the instant suspicion Of infidelity to
his new associations and treachery to
his bread and butter. Here we have
a consideration that should temper
the disgust and contempt of critics,
with pity. 1t was, besides a rather
shabby trick in the postmaster general
to give the referee away

USED AS CATS
PAWS.

The New York Times calls the op-
position of southern senator's to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty "a stupid
and faithless policy" 1t thus en-
forces the assertion:
Cuba is the market nearest and
most profitable for the south, and all
her interests are bound up in those of
the south. Why in the name of COM
mon sense should the southern senators
oppose the treaty that must surely ad-
vance those interests? There is not
a grower, a spinner or a weaver Of
cotton in all the south who would not
directly or indirectly profit by the &C
ceptance of the Cuban treaty.
Again, it is perfectly we'll known
that the opposition to the treaty is
being plotted and guided by little
band of INSCRIPTIONS republicans
largely in the interest of the sugar
trust What can southern senator
have in common with that wretched
band of greedy and unprincipled con
spirators? Why should any southern
senator act as their CATS paw?
The foregoing questions should be
propounded to Senators Bailey and
Bacon, by their cotton, cattle and
lumber interested constituents.
Vicksburg Herald.
By the way, what is the Cuban
treaty? That country produces beet
sugar. That is all. The United
States has that little island by the
tail.
1t whipped Spain before breakfast
to get it, including little bicuit
over in the Philippine Islands. Cuba
has nothing practically except few
Indian Inhabitants who do not have
as much sense as the few Cinnamon
who inhabit the island. Spain got
all out of Cuba it had, also out of the
Philippine Islands, and Spain came
near starving to death by depending
on the products of these two countries.
We would like to know what the
treaty is? The tobacco crop of Cuba
is being absorbed by trust, so is the
beet sugar business. This country
gets nothing except the ground, the
ports, a little revenue from foreign
countries and some other little thing.
Still it has to keep standing army
to keep down instruction and main
tain government which is not able
to maintain itself. Same with the
Philippines and the same with the
Hawaii Islands. The next time this
government jumps on and gobbles up
little South American island it
ought to consider that the hare is not
worth the chase.

Vicksburg American: President
Roosevelt may or may not have for
midable opposition in his aspiration
for a presidential nomination by his
party, but he is taking no chances on
possible contingencies as concerns
the colored brother. Since the
Booker Washington incident at the
White House the president has done
many things calculated to endear
him to the African heart and perturb
the lily white bosom with senti-
ments quite the reverse. The prac-
teal politicians of the &. o. p. who
have been wont to sneer. at the
Roosevelt political unsophisticated-
ness, so hopelessly brash and refres-
Ingly egotistIcal as they deemed it,
must be inspired with a growing
respect for the distinguished candi-
dates knowledge of practical poll
ties bv this time.

Hon. J. H. McGhehee of Franklin
county, is a candidate for railroad
commissioner in the southern district.
That is the district now represented
by Hon. A. @. May of Simpson, and
who has stated that he will not again

one of the best and most sensible men
not only in the district he desires to
represent, but in the state. He has
been serving the people in one or the

several years, and has always done
his duty as man and as lawmaker,
without fear or favor. If chosen as a
member of the railroad commission he
will live up to his record and that Is
sufficient guarantee for any man. -

Neither the young lady nor her
friends had been previously informed
of the hasty plans made for her
future life, but on the situation being
explained to her she consented there
and then to have the nuptial knot
tied.

procured, and Miss Tart became

Mississippi Hotels Rival.

A subscriber writing from Clayton,
Ala, tells of a residence in that Sec
ton which exceeds the unique Mis-
sissippi hotel in the naming of its
rooms, and explains the purpose for
which they were named. The News
recently told of hotel in Mississippi
whose rooms were named for the
states of the Union, and pointed out
the awkwardness which this plan
sometimes brought about. The Clay
ton writer thinks that the hotel pro-
prietor obtained his idea from the
old plan of naming staterooms on
steamships for states. Afterward
the names of the states were dropped
and the rooms aboard vessels were
simply called estate rooms" The
Alabama case is that of a woman
who names her rooms after the cities
of the state. She desired to teach
her dusky maid who answers the
door bell not to prevarieate, so she
named her rooms Montgomery, Bir-
mingham, Mobile, etc. When she
does not wish to see a caller she
simply goes into one of these rooms
and the maid, instead of giving the
proverbial fib, mot at home,'' states
truthfully CD that her mistress is IN
Montgomery" or elsewhere, as the
case may be. The lady who in
vented this idea is rarely to be found
in the room named for Birmingham,
as it is across the hall and difficult Of
access without the Wedge of the
caller.

holds cousin Anse" in the highest
esteem, as in the last issue 1t pro-
duced the following, every word of
which is true: ut is now certain
that Senator A. J. McLaurin-our
dear Anse-will be candidate to
succeed himslef. We have no better
evidence than the fact that he says so
himself. And he will be reelected.
Talk about your horse races, and foot
races and your rabbit races and the
colored and white races, but the Prog
ress would bet more on McLaurin IN
the senatorial race than on any other
man in the state. All he has to do
is to ask for office and he gets it
that is if it is left with Mississippi.

the present year will surpass it un-
less some unforeseen calamity occurs
and prevents the realization of the
promised big runs. Idaho alone held
over 1900 cars of sheep in the fall
of 1902 that the shippers would
gladly have put on the market but the
railroads were unable to get them
cars. The mutton market at the big
packing centers is very good this
winter, and this augurs well for the
sheepmen of the West, as it means
big demand for feeders next year.
Kansas City will come in for her full
share of Idaho sheep. She received
an unusually large supply last season
and will continue to do so from now
on, as the shippers here then were

DEADLlNE is DRAWN.

The war between the cattlemen and

men of the Sweetwater country have
declared open war upon the cattlemen
and a clash is imminent unless steps
are at once taken to get the warning
factions together on the proposition of

water country have received copies of
a circular letter notifying them that
sheep would not be permitted to Craze
within certain boundaries.

financial and other support to the de-
tense of the lives and property of the

MAKING MONEY IN HOGS.

After a series of feeding experiments
dating over about eight weeks, w. j.
Townley, prominent hog-raiser OF
Union, Or, says he has demonstrated
that he can secure $42.O5 worth of
pork with $2866 worth of feed. He
selected six hogs of about equal posi-
bilities for the experiment, separated
then into three pens of two each, and
weighed them at the end of each
week, giving each pen separate classes
of feed To the first pen he fed mix
ture of two parts shorts and one part
bran for a period of sixty-two days.
To the second he fed chopped wheat
for forty-nine days. To the third pen
he fed a mixture of shorts, chopped
wheat and bran in the ratio of ten to
seven to three.
Mr.. Townley has just made out
summary showing that the six hogs
consumed 1929 pounds of various kinds
of feed during the experiments. The
aggregate cost of this feed at current
prices was $2S.66. The gain pork was
CAT pounds, which at $3.50 per hun
dred weight is $42.05.
The first two pigs, fed for sixtytwo
days on a mixture of two parts OF
shorts and one of bran, consumed 11OS
pounds, and made a total gain of 232
pounds, an average gain of 1877 pounds
a day. This mixture cost IS cents a
hundred weight, and it took SOB
pounds of it to make one pound of
gain. At this rate the cost of 100
pounds of gain was $4.34
The second pair, fed for forty-nine
days on chopped wheat, ate 1872 pounds
of food and gained FL pounds day.
This food cost $1.25 hundred weight,
and it took 1888 pounds to make one
pound of gain. This brought the cost

hand. He sent a PercherOn and a
Shire to Walla Walla, and a Clyde
and a Shire to The Dalles recently;
also a Percheron to Garfield. Mr..
Galbraith says there is a good future
for the draft horse business in that
section, and the demand for good
horses is on the increase. Farmers
have neglected breeding so long that
they are in the market to buy farm
horses-rather than being sellers.

SHEEP IN THE NORTHWEST.

Frank H. Wigle, of Nampa, Idaho,
delegate to the National Wool Grow

temporary chairman at the prelimin-
airy organization of that body, says
the Northwest will send heavy supplies
of sheep to market next year with
general conditions favorable to free
movement. He says his state alone
has over 100000 sheep of the supply
of 1902 on hand that shippers were
unable to secure cars for, and these
will have to come next year in addi-
ton to the average annual supply that
would be put on the market then.

MORE INTENSIVE FEEDING.

Stock Inspector Bean, of Oregon, has
been making an extended tour of
inspection in Umatilla county, and
valuable information regarding con-
ditions and future prospects. He finds
the stock in that county wintered
well, but says that in the foothills
stock is not in so fine condition. Mr..
Bean believes the time has come for
the commencement of somewhat new
methods in the sheep industry in this
country, the tendency being decidedly
in favor of more intensive system.
From now on more and more alfalfa,
grain and root crops will be fed, and
many of the sheepraisers are arrang-
ing to abandon the policy of hunting
summer range in the mountains as
being expensive and financially risky
compared with lot-feeding products
raised on the ranch
Mr.. Bean believes that after the
reimbursement of conditions some of
which have been mentioned there will
be as many sheep in Umatilla and 9TH
er counties similarly situated as ever,
while the production of hay, grain
and root crops will be enormously in
creased Also that there will be just
as much money made, while fewer
risks will be taken, the new methods
eliminating most of the risks the
sheepmen now have to contend with.
He considers that the irrigation ques-
ton must be correlated with the re-
alignment of factors controlling the
sheep industry. The curtailment OF
the forest ranges will be one factor
of great influence in Fastening these
changes. One result will be the pro-
duction of much larger per cent OF
mutton sheep than now. Many breed
ers are already recognizing the error
of exclusive woolgrowing, and that
there is money especially in the rails
ing of yearling muttons.
