INDIANOLA POSTOFFICE.

Glass.

Washington-The postoffice at In
dianola, Miss, which figured conspic-
uously last year in a race trouble on
account of the then negro .postmis-
tress, Minnie Cox, and which was
closed for some months by order of
the president, has been reduced from
presidential office to the fourth
class. The postoffice department ex-
plains that this action was due to the
receipts of that Office for the last fis-
cal year falling below the minimum
amount established for presidential
Offices and not to any desire of the de-
partment to further show its disap-
prevail Of the course taken by certain
of the citizens of the town toward the
former incumbent of the Office, Mrs
Minnie Cox.

WASHINGTON ALARMED.
Chefoo Incident May Cause Compli
cations.

Washington.-Th report Of the
destroyers Of the Russian destroyer
Ryshitleni, in the harbor Of Chefoo as
conveyed at Washington by the con-
sui generals cablegram was received
with the deepest interest and also con-
Germ for it was realized that there
were in this incident the germs of Sc
rious international trouble.
Mr.. Fowler spoke of the affair as a
cutting out'' expedition, thereby
differing in an important point from
the press dispatch which at first read
ing appeared to indicate that the seiz-
ure of the Russian boat was in at
least some degree caused by the action
of the captain Of the craft in attack
ing the japanese boarding lieutenant.
It may be that upon this point will
turn the decision as to whether or not
there has been a violation Of Chinese
neutrality by the Japanese.
IF the expedition was a genuine cut
ting out one, then there is no question
in the minds Of the officials here thst
the japanese have committed an Of
Tense against international law by
violating Chinese neutrality and in
addition have broken the agreement
they entered into at the beginning of
the war, at the instance Of the United
States government to limit the field of
warlike operations to Manchuria and
Corea and their waters. Should this
prove to be the case, the results prob
ably viii be grave and vexaa:ons In
der the tenets Of international law
the captured vessel must be returned
for the offense against Chinese neu-
trality. But if Russian lives have
been lost, as reported in the press dis
patches, a greater complication will
follow for Russia may in turn hold
China responsible for the punishment
Of the japanese who ca',sed the death
Of her sailors, when under the shelter
of the Chinese port authorities. Alto
gether the situation is full Of dam
ger and the main apprehension Of the
officials here is that it may be the in
cident that will break down the agree
ment Of the powers and plunge China
into the war as full fedged belliger-
ent and ally Of Japan.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle CT ALI Important Happenings
Progressive Jackson.

Every Mississippian is interested
more or less in the Capital City Of
the state, Jackson. For too many
years have they been ashamed to
point it out to strangers as the seat
OF government. jackson was not pro-
gressive and Jagged behind in the
race for state supremacy. But con-
ditions are fast changing. jackson
has awakened from her nap and is
doing things that will be source Of
pride to every loyal citizen Of the
grand old commonwealth. Wonder
full improvements have been made in
the past few years. Magnificent
buildings have gone up and others are
under way. Countless residences Of a
more or less pretentious type adorn
her thoroughfares. The manufacture
ing interests have several times dou-
bled and it is only the beginning. The
population has jumped from 5000 in
1900 to $4,000 at present with several
populous suburbs not included. In
dustries representing half q million
dollars were begun in one day recent
ly and more than that much more cap
ltal is knocking at the door today.
The Board of Trade has organized on
business basis and will make an en-
thusiastic, energetic and persistent
campaign for "Greater Jackson. !"
The good people Of Mississippi will
never again have cause to be ashamed
of their Capital city.

Snakes in Cabbage.

Nashville. Several cases Of poi
soning over the state due to eating
cabbage in which snakes have been
boiled have attracted wide attention
and the latest case is in the Morilton
family at Tullahoma, where several
people are quite i'll. The trouble has
led to everybody looking for snakes
and from dozen counties in Middle
Tennessee reports come Of the discov-
cry of reptiles. Many people have cut
out cabbage and the result is that with
the biggest crop ever produced in the
state, they are selling at 20 cents a
barrel u Nashville, while in the small
towns one cannot give them away and
they are being fed to live stock.

Cotton and Corn Carnival

The proposition to have a cotton
and corr carnival in Jackson in Dec
ember is along the right lines. A
splendid display of the states pro-
ducts can be made and the people
from the north, east and west are in
vited to como and spend few days
with us. The railroads will advertise
the event in all Of their newspapers
folders, circulars, etc., and will take
great interest in working up large
crowds to come down and see the
Sunny South" This is along their
line Of work. It is to their interest
to people the waste places and make
them a feeder for their lines. The
great development of the past few
years owes large portion Of it's i'm
petus to the work of the roads and
in this new scheme they can be de-
pended upon to do more than their
part. 1t IS the opportunity Of a life
time for Mississippi to get her re-
sources properly before those inter-
ested. 1t will prove Of greater bene-
fit, coming as it does right after the
great fair at St. Louis, and will no
doubt prove the clinching Of a nail
already driven. The earnest and
hearty cooperation of the people Of
the state is desired.

of that distinguished Confederate Of
ficer. On the request of the director
for the portrait, Mr.. Adams placed
