Oil Mills May Shut Down.

It is stated that several of the larg-
est cotton seed oil mills in the State
viii be forced to shut down within
the next ten days, their supply Of
seed being exhausted, and there being
no prospect of getting more before an
other cotton crop is made. The chances
are that the great majority of the
mills of the State will stop grinding
before the first of February, which is
two months earlier than ordinarily.
The season has been a very satisfac-
tory one IN every respect, except as
to its longevity, though high prices
have been paid for the raw material
from the very first. The seed has in
all respects been first class, and the
product has been a fine grade Of oil,
cake and meal. Prices of the output of
the mills were not satisfactory at the
beginning of the season last fall, but
recent advances have evened things up
SO that the mill men are very well sat
lsfed with the business done.

REPUBLICANS
OF MISSISSIPPI
MEET AND FIX TIME FOR STATE
CONVENTION.
MARCH %, IS SELECTED
And Jackson as the Place. -Resolu-
tioas Adopted Endorsing Roosevelt
oil Mills to Shut Down for Sea-
Interesting Suit.

The Republican State Executive COM
mlttee met at jackson for the purpose
OF fixing the time and place for hold
ing the State Convention, which will
send delegates to the Chicago Con-
vention in June. March 90 was Sc
lected as the time for holding the Con-
vention, and jackson as the place.
A resolution was adopted stating that:
Whereas the administration Of Pres
ident Roosevelt, both as to national
and international affairs, has been en-
inently successful and satisfactory
it was resolved, "That it is the sense
Of the Republicans of Mississippi that
a continuance of his administration
is essential to the welfare and prosper
ity of the country, and this Commit
tee cordially declares for him as his
own successor and points with pride
to his conduct Of public affairs, to the
splendid personnel Of his appointees
and to his able, honest, progressive,
courageous non-sectional administra-
ton; and that in so doing it but antic-
ipates the action Of the republican
state convention, which meets March,
%, 1904, to select delegates to the
national republican convention that
assemblies i'll Chicago on June %, 1904,

register the will of the rank and file of
this illustrious American, pure, patri-
otto and dauntless soldier. Resolved
further. that the speedy construction
Of the Panama canal is necessary to
the continued prosperity of the ma
tion, and especially to that Of the Gulf
States, and it is our deliberate con
viction that those who oppose the con-
struction of the same, under whatever
guise, are consciously, OF unconscious
ly, enemies to the best interests Of the
United States

Something osnsda FOrossa.

Canadian papers continue 20
show an angry feeling in regard
% the decision OF the Alaslcan
boundary case in favor Of the Ua-
tied States by the vote Of the Eng
gliSh member Of the commission.
1t seems TO have been expected
IN the Dominion that the Eng
hsh commissioner would neces-
sarily side with the two Canadi-
ans, thus ending the arbitration
ia a tie, and leaving open, even
aggravated, a dangerous interna-
tional dispute. Canada's claim to
q part of the Alaskan coast was
hrst heard Of few years ago and
excited universal surprise, for the
text Of treaties and old maps, in
Guiding English maps, had never
been questioned before the dis
eovery Of gold in Northwest Can
adian territory Citizens of the
United States, though studious of
all the evidence in the case, have
never been able to discover any
thing to warrant the mysterious
claim.
The English member of the
commission saw nothing to sub
stantiate the Canadian preten-
sion. Had there been grain OF
evidence that it was ever intend
ed the Dominion should have
seaport on the Alaskan coast he
would have contended for it to the
last. But he could find on reason
to doubt that the old maps and
understanding Of treaties, long ac-
cepted by England itself, are
strictly correct. His vote acknowl-
edging the rightfulness of that
position was conscientious. More
over, it has disposed of contro-
versy that might easily have led
TO grave trouble. The Canadi-
ians, or at least those who are
airing their evaporation, blame
England for not oDstinately back
ing them up In a bad cause. If
Canada, single-handed, should at
tempt to juggle with the bounda-
ries of this country, it would rem
der itself ridiculous and If it had
pressed a false claim, with Eng
lish assistance, 1t would have been
crushed in the struggle, If one
had ensued. These are things
Canada should soberly keep in
mind while harping on the out
come Of its vamped~up claim. I'm
less it stops slch tricks it will
be taught better by disciplinary
methods.
