MORGAN WILL FIGHT.
The Great Flnancier viii Hot Permit the
Matter 10 Rest Where L Is.

New York. April l0.-A representative
OF the banking house OF j. p. Morgan &
Co. said the decision put a new light upon
the entire matter, and would enable the
lawyers representing the Northern Sc
curites company TO work along new lines.
j. Pierpont Morgan said: Until see
the full text OF the decision should not
care 10 express an opinion on Il. This
much is certain however: 1t will not
rest where II is.
The question of the right OF two or
more railroads TO be operated by a hold
ing company will be taken 10 the United
States supreme court a Washington. In
stead OF looking upon the decision OF the
court yesterday as blow to railroad en-
terprSe. I should say that the reverse
is the case. Capital all over the country
is anxious to know It's rights in the mat
ter OF railroad construction and operation.
Railroad men want to know where they
stand.
The decision today Is Just one step
closer to n decision from the United
States supreme court. which shall be
flnal. for. even II the Northern Securities
had won today. the governments attorney
would probably have appealed.
The question was OF such Importance
that an appeal was assured, no matter
who won. These facts are plain. Both
railroads held by the Northern Securities
company still exist and are doing good
business.
when railroad men know exactly how
the law is TO be interpreted they will prob
ably find good ways TO see that properties
are operated economically and profltably."
A conference OF leading financiers was
held this afternoon In the office OF ]. Il.
Morgan & Co. TO discuss the details of
the decision and it's bearings upon railroad
properties in the future

Cotton.

AS long as cotton ranges around
the ten cent mark there will be
full crops planted. The way to
make it 60 to twelve cents is to re-
duce the acreage. 1t is as broad
as it is long, any way, for a ten
million crop will bring the south
as much money as a twelve mill
ion bale crop. 1t is better for the
farmers to reduce the crop to the
ten million mark. 1t costs less to
make 1t and it enables the farm.
r to plant more corn than the
twelve million bale crop would.
If plenty of corn and meat is
made in the south to feed it's
people nothing can keep that
region from continued prosperity.
1t is decidedly to the interest of
every farmer to keep his cribs and
smoke house full. Plenty of home
corr and meat will keep the price
of cotton up. Our farmers should
resolve to raise all their supplies
at home. If they will do this
nothing can keep them from grow
ing rich and independent.

In his speech before the good
roads convention Mt st. Louis
Roosevelt said that good roads
were desirable, among other
things, because they would give
the farmer boys a chance to take
"a spin on their bicycles" This
is Que OF Teddies bright concep-
tions of the valne that attaches to
good roads. We are not surpris-
ed at it when we consider that
he was raised by a city millionaire
father and was never on a farm in
his life except as a sportsman or
traveller. 1t will be a long time
before u sturdy old farmers will
build roads for their boys to use
as bicycle ways. What they want
with good roads is to have easy
ways tc get to market with
the produce the boys make on
their farms. They want to help
the mules as well as the boys.

From the Holly Springs papers
we notice that w. A. Belk, Esq,
is a candidate for senator from
Marshall county. Mr.. BeIk is a
native of East Mississippi and for
several years was a citizen of Tu-
pelo. During that period he won
the high esteem of our people by
his moral upright character, his
devotion to duty and his true con
ception of the duties of a citizen
OF a great state. Every step in
his life has been An upward one
and every community in which he
has resided has been benefited by
his presence. Every legislature
should be made up from the best
citizenship and should the next
body be composed of men with
the character and stamina OF Mr.
Belk, the state will profit by their
labors,

The Fish Hatchery.

Work is progressing on the fish
hatchery but we r unable to tell
anything about how it is getting
along. We made an effort to OBJ
tain a description of the hatchery
from the officials in charge but
we're politely informed that it is
a gainst the governments rules for
any one engaged in that work to
give out any details concerning it
to either newspapers or magazines.
We can readily understand why
this is done. INSCRIPTIONS writ
ers might use tho information thus
obtained as a money making
scheme.
The eight hours a day rnle is
observed in working by those en-
ployed. They begin work at
eight o'clock in the morning. At
noon they take an hour for dinner.
They resume work at one O'Clock
and quit at five. This will not injure
their constitutions and gives them
plenty OF time to rest in. A num-
Der of artesians wells have been
bored and are throwing out fine
streams of sparkling water. The
fish that are Matched and live in
it will certainly be healthy and
good to eat.
There will be several buildings
erected and the grounds will be
highly ornamented and beautifed.
The government has lots of money
lying idle and can afford it. 1t
will aid in making that approach
to our beautiful little city pretty
and attractive. When they get
the hatchery in running order they

Crops.

There is general complaint by
the farmers that their planted
seed are not coming up as they
would like. Cotton is coming up
with great skips in the rows and
is looking sickIy under the chill
ing north winds. Many seeds
that We're swelling are rotting and
the prospect is that the stands of
this important crop will be very
detective. 1t is not too late to
plant over, but it is doubtful if
the seed for this purpose could
be readily procured. The cotton
crop is not so important to the
farmer as the corn crop. The
stands of corn are showing up a
little better than the cotton. The
stands are skippy but what is up
is looking tolerably we'll. In a
very few places some corn has
been run around and where this Is
the case the plant looks very we'll
Corn can be planted for some
weeks yet. Too much of it can
not be made. 1t is impossible for
our people to make too much of it

to make the smoke house full and
the cribs and smoke houses can
never be too full. Plant it largely,

If any soldiers on earth are en-

Good Roads Ceuyentios.

The convention Of the friends
aud advocates of road improve
ment, at st. Louis, was largely
attended by delegates from all
the states and territories. The
meeting was notable on account of
the character of the delegates aud
because of the enthusiasm which
marked their deliberations. The
convention was addressed by presi-
dent Roosevelt VINO warmly advo-
Gated road Improvement. He
seemed to think that Appian ways
should traverse the whole country.
The question of good roads is
occupying a large place in public
attention. There Is no question
about the benefits to be derived
from the Improvement Of our high
ways. All interests, r concern
ed and every interest would be al
vanced and bettered if the people
could come to agree upon their
value and influence upon the
public veal.
1t will be a long time before the
roads and highways of the country
are made as good as they should
be. Many communities are al
ready in condition to pay the ex-
penses of building them. 9th ers
are not in shape to spend great
sums upon them. 1t is a question
of economy that must be fully con-
sidered by the people. Let those
have them, who eau afford it.
But don't go too fast in taxing a
people who are not ready for it.
The convention adopted the fol,
lowing resolutions:
First, that the building of good
roads in the United States is now
of paramount Importance to COM
mercial supremacy.
Second, that we recommend the
harmonious co operation of the
township, country. state and ma
tional government in the fur
therance of this great end.
Third, that the association be-
lieves that the appropriations here
tofore made for the building of the
rivers and harbors has been wise
and beneficent but an approprla.
ton for the improvement of oul
highways has now become neces.
sary to extend the blessings of in.
telligence and to promote a high
degree of citizenship among all class
es OF people and to meet the ever
growing necessities of the sgri.
cultural interests
Fourth, that we recommend the
establishment throughout the
United States of a complete ant
perfect organization from the nation
down to the township, which or.
CARNATIONS shall so overlap eacf

tional association.

Sheep in the South.

:. b. Killebrew in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimord for May:
1t is doubtful if any part of
Australia or the Spanish peninsu-
la offers any greater advantages
for sheep h%usbandry than the
Southern States. Whether we
consider the soil or the climate,
the forage plant, the rolling sur
faces or the supplies of water and
shade, the Southern States must
be regarded as an ideal place for
the prosecution of this industry.
That scope of country embraced
between the Allegheny mountains
on the east and the Mississippi
on the west and lying south of the
Ohio river, including the States
of Kentucky and Tennessee, the
northern parts of Georgia, Ala
bama aud Mississippi, and to
which may be added the Piedmont
regions of Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina east of
the mountains, present features
that all hockmasters recognize as
being important for the success.
full growth of their industry. In
this region the cold is not SO Sc,
we're during the winter is to make
the feeding of sheep a source of
great concern, nor is the heat of
the summer so intense as to work
a ~degeneracy, after a few genera
tioIs, in the character of the feec,
eS.
The growing of sheep is a branch
of %husbandry that is being sadly
neglected in our state and county.
There is no part of the country
better adapted to sheep raising
than are some parts of Lee coun-
ty. Sheep thrive best in a billy
region and when they can find it
will leave the plains and take to
the hills. That part Of Lee coun-
ty called the potato hills, east Of
Town creek, is finely adapted to
their habits and instincts. Thou.
sands of them could be kept in this
region. They would thrive there
and the business of raising them
could be made of great profit.
There seems to be perfect in
difference pervading our people
in regard to this valuable animal.
Man a not we'll live without the
sheep. His best fool AMI cloth
ing are obtained from this animal,
but we are ~neglecting u oppor-
tunities and put up with inferior
food and clothing because we
won't take the trouble upon our
selves of tending focks OF sheep.
Our grasses, weeds, shrubs and
grains are just suited to the growth
Of the sheep and II climate is
fine for it. Between mans mat
tention and the dogs attention we
deprive ourselves Of a source of
great profit and pleasure.
