NO LONGER AT THE FOOT.

Discussing the Industrial de-
velopment and progress of Miss
isippi, the editor of the Picay-
une's Bureau says:
Interviews have been held with
a large number of members of
the Legislature since they arrived
in the city, and all of them are
imbued with the idea that the in
dustrial development of Missis-
sippi has just begun. The same
story of industrial progress comes
from all sections of the State.
Senator Malcomb A. Franklin, of
Lowndes county, in the lobby of
the Senate this morniug, said that
the banks of Columbus were lend
ing money to the banks of New
York, one of them having loaned
a bank 100000 on approved
collateral. This opened the eyes
of some of the Senator's who had
no idea that the State had reached
such pinnacle. It was stated
some time ago that.the jackson
banks were lending money to
Chicago banks. Banks in other
sections OF the State are lending
money to Northern banks. Ii Is

CANE GROWING INDUSTRY.

Collins, this state, has come to
the front with new enterprise
that will prove beneficial and en-
courage and industry that is fast
becoming popular with the farm
ing classes. This new enterprise
is canning factory which will
begin canning molasses at once.
The farmers Of the state have
thus opened up within their midst
an enterprise which will aid them
in handling their molasses crop to
the best advantage. There have
already many farmers engaged in
the raising of sugar cane and find
it pays well. There is nothing
that makes larger and more
valuable yield-4oo gallons to
the acre being no uncommon
yield. The crop has never been
given the attention in this state
that has characterized it in the
REGULAR sugar belt district, but
we are glad to note the present
outlook is much more favorable
to this special crop. Since can
ming factories are being established
the syrup can be put on the mar
ket to a better advantage, which
places a new impetus to the cane
growing industry, as heretofore
it had to be handled in kegs and
barrels.
We expect to see the erection
of many such enterprises as this
one at Collins, for a crop that
pays so well as the molasses crop
to the amount of land cultivated,
can but interest and appeal to the
farming class since the barriers
to the handling Of same is being
removed. Grenad@ Sentinel.

THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

At jackson at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon, the Committee on Con
stitution of the House of Repre-
sentatives will hold a meeting and
consider their report on the Con-
stitutional Prohibition amend
ment. 1t is stated that a major
ity of the Committee are already
in favor of recommending its
submission to the people. At
their meeting this afternoon the
Committee will give a hearing to
both the liquor men and Prohi-
bitionists, if they desire to be
heard. The main fight on the
amendment will come when it is
reported back to the House. II
is necessary for it to receive the
votes of two-thirds of the mem
bers of the Legislature for three
days in succession. This is a
hard thing to do where there is
anything like strong opposition,
but the Prohibitionists are conf
dent of winning, because many
members of the Legislature who
do not favor Constitutional Pro
hibition themselves, will vote to
allow the people to vote on the
question at the polls.

Young Man Gone WRONG.

Magee is alleged to have passed
worthless check for 800 on
the dry goods firm of Tefft- Wei
ler & Co., of New York. He ad-
mits having had the firm cash the
check, but declares that the name
of his brother, J. P. Magee, a
merchant of Bowie, was signed to
it by permission. Why the check
was not honored he claims he is
unable to understand.
Magec says he went to New York
to buy goods for his brothers.

Centerville, Ia, and was married

Brown, daughter of G. F. Brown,

the four courts yesterday soon
after his arrest. She was stylishly
dressed in silks. She declared
she had known her husband since
last September and could not ac-
count for his arrest.

drama from the pen of W. B.

of many another New England

1t is learned that the constitu-
tional amendment providing for
an elective judiciary will be in
troduced in the Senate and House
the first of next week. Repre-
sentative Evans, of Leake, will
father it in the latter branch,
while either Senator Magee or
Elmore will introduce it in the
other. The amendment this time
will be very simple as compared
with the complicated one sub
mitted several years ago, which
was declared unconstitutionally
drawn and not adopted by sufi-
cient majority. This time it will
simply insert the elective princi-
pie in the Constitution and en-
power the Legislature to adopt
such laws as are necessary to put
it into operation.

JUDGE PARKER
HEARS THE NEWS
Reaches Him at His Morning
Swim-Still Refuses to
Talk.

Esopus, N. Y, July 9.-The news
Of Judge Parker's nomination was
given to him at $3.50 am. today by
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press, who found him clambering out
Of the Hudson river after his morn
ing swim.
The judges ruddy face broke into
a CHEEKY smile in which satisfaction
was undisguised, when he heard the
news. He asked for details and dis
played the Hveliest interest in every
fact and figure, at the same time re-
framing from the slightest comment,
When asked If he would say any,
thing, he only said:
No, shall say nothing whatever
until I am formally notified Of my
nomination.
He climbed up the steep bank to
his house and cordially received the
greetings Of other newspaper men
present.
From 9:45 pm. until after am.
Judge Parker remained in his room,
which he left for his usual swim.
He knew then only that balloting had
begun. There is little doubt that
Judge Parker has been confident for
many days that he would be nomi-
mated, and it was plain that the an
nouncement brought him no surprise.
Judge Parker devoted his first
leisure to reading the platform. He
refused to make any comment. At
forwards he started for a ride on
horseback.

HARMON IN LEAD
FOR SECOND PLACE
Conference of Parker Leaders
Endeavors to Settle on Vice
Presidency.

st. Louis, July s.-senator Hill did
not take off his clothes when he
reached his hotel this morning, but
after refreshing both the inner and
outer man, Joined William F. Shee-
han, Colonel J. M. Guffey Of Pennsyl-
vania, Thomas Taggart Of Indiana,
John P. Hopkins Of Illinois in a con-
ference to determine who should be
the running mate Of Judge Parker.
The conference began about half
past 10, and messengers were sent to
almost every state headquarters ask
ing leaders of delegations to come.
Senator Hill said that the contest
was entirely open. He inttmated that
the candidate would come from the
middle west states.
Among those whose names were
mentioned prior to the conference and
who had emissaries ready to present
their claims were Kern Of Indiana,
Williams Of Illinois, Daniel Of Vir-
ginia, Mclean Of Ohio, Harmon of
Ohio, Dockery Of Missouri, and Beck
ham of Kentucky. It was pretty
thoroly known among the Parker
leaders a few minutes after the con-
ference met that Judson Harmon of
Ohio was their choice, with Kern of
Indiana second and Williams Of
Illinois next.
The southern candidates were praq-
tically eliminated, and Mr.. Kern's
candidacy suffered from the fact that
Mr.. Taggart Of Indiana is a prominent
candidate for chairman Of the nation
al committee. The probabilities are
that the national committee this
afternoon will take a recess until next
week in New York city, when it will
elect it's new chairman. This is to
be taken so that Judge Parker may
have q voice.
The name of Gray Of Delaware was
mentioned for the vice presidency, but
the geographical situation Of the state
worked against him.
